Schmackary’s

The cookies were SO good! They are a little on the buttery side so a bit hard to finish in one go. Tried the red velvet, funfetti and chocolate chip. They’re open till midnight so if you’re craving a cookie at 11:30, this is the place to go. They also have a little fridge and sell milk there (vanilla and chocolate) which was just the best thing to have with the cookie.

Ummmm am I missing something here? So many positive reviews between this location and the Manhattan one and I’m like «eh.»
Picked up a couple cookies* on my way home recently — a Chocolate Chip and a Maple Bacon — and I wasn’t terribly impressed with either one to be honest. They both tasted… grainy to me. Like the brown sugar didn’t mix in. Plus the Maple Bacon didn’t really taste like bacon. and I didn’t get any toffee bits, so that was a bummer.
Maybe I just didn’t get the right flavors. I’ll have to give the Funfetti and Oatmeal Scotchie a try…
*Two 6“ish cookies for $ 5.

I had the maple bacon («It tastes like breakfast») and the Funfetti. Both were good. Soft, sugary… for some reason because it was Friday the 13^th they said I could get two for the price of one so the cookies were $ 1.25 each. Can’t beat that deal anywhere. Loved it and will get it again next time I walk by.

This place was hyped up so much and I saw so many pictures on Instagram and Unilocal that I had to go try it. I came here around 10 pm on a Thursday night. They had about 4 options of cookies left so I bought all 4. The cookies were good but really nothing special. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here, it’s no Levain. Maybe if they were fresh and warm it would be a different story but I guess that’s what I get for coming late on a weekday.

I walked in this establishment on a Friday afternoon because my daughter wanted ice cream. I Unilocal the nearest ice cream shop to us since we was in this neighborhood for dinner. The tall white guy behind the counter wasn’t friendly at all. This was are first time here so like any normal person we asked some questions. It’s very annoying when someone answers a question like you already know the answer to it, if I knew the answer I wouldn’t ask. After the staff member finish answering my questions me and my family left without purchasing anything. What customer would want to spend there money in a establishment like this with rude staff members? We took our business to DAVEY’S ICE CREAM customer service was great!!!

One would expect very rich and sweet treats from a cookie shop, and one would not be disappointed in coming to Schmackary’s. Sitting on one of the busiest streets in Williamsburg, there’s no doubt this place attracts a lot of attention and patrons. We were definitely drawn in a cookie shop in the middle of Bedford.
Our group of four was craving some cookies and coffee after a big lunch. We were warmly greeted by the smell of fresh baked cookies upon entering the doors. We chose the Schmacaroons along with choconut chip and and iced coffee. For a coconut lover, the Schmacaroons were perfectly loaded with coconut flakes and flavor. The other cookie wasn’t great and a little heavy on the sea salt which ruined the taste for us.
We were glad we had a chance to try this spot so we know where to go for that sudden fresh cookie craving on Bedford. We’d try other flavors before ruling this place out altogether.

Happened to be in the neighborhood and decided to give these cookies a try. I had the Chocolate Diablo, which was everything I’d hoped it would be. Super chocolatey with a awesome spicy kick right after. Slightly soft, slightly crumbly and the perfect size treat.
My husband got the Peanut Butter Cup (which unfortunately I couldn’t try due to allergies). He was just as happy with his and remarked multiple times how much he liked it.
We’d both go again – the Krispie Treats looked pretty good too.

Ok so I’ve passed by this place several times without giving it much thought. Then last night after dinner at Pearl’s, we were at a friend’s house and said «hey wouldn’t it be nice to have milk and cookies right about now?» And my friend knew just the place. So we ventured out into the cold spring night to find an empty storefront. We looked the cookies over, deliberated. We asked the register if the cookies were warm and he said dryly, «no we don’t serve warm cookies because they would fall apart. They cool down for at least 20 minutes before they come out. But I can assure you these were made in the last 2 hours.» Now I totally get that… but he could have sold us on the dream a bit. Instead he was a little curt. But anywho, my friend and I shared the chocolate chip. It was okay… except for the mouthful of salt I got at the end. Too much. I think the concept of this place is great but the service and execution of the recipe left much to be desired. Next time I’ll just get the break and bake pack at the Duane Reade.

Cookies are my favorite dessert but these leave much to be desired. They have a great variety with different combinations rather than just your standard chocolate chip cookies. Unfortunately I chose one that did not work. The choconut chip sounded amazing (chocolate, walnut, coconut with sea salt) and I love food that combine sweet and salt but I did not enjoy this at all. It wasn’t balanced at all and the coconut tasted stale. I couldn’t even finish half of this as I couldn’t stand the taste of it. The carrot cake was good — tasted just like a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting but it didn’t wow me.
These are very thin cookies, fairly soft and chewy but nothing memorable. Maybe they should keep them in cases instead of out in the open to keep them fresher.

We saw this place during a walk through Williamsburg and had to stop back in for some dessert after lunch. It’s a nice little shop with a number of cookie options that seem to change daily.
We ordered the carrot cake cookie and the choconut chip. The carrot cake cookie was spot on and had all the flavors you would expect to have from carrot cake. The choconut chip kind of missed the mark for me. I am a big fan of chocolate chip cookies and I also love coconut, so this sounded good, but something didn’t quite do it for me. I would like to try some of their other options as they all sound good.

Wow. I wish so much that I could go into this cookie shop right now. I got a s’mores cookie, and it was truly the best that I have ever had! I cannot even describe how amazing it was.
There are many different types of cookies to choose from, and the interior is quite pretty. Plenty of seating, including outdoor seating available in the back. Strangely, they had one song playing on a loop the entire time that I was there…
Definitely stop in here for a sweet snack if you are walking around Williamsburg!

I noticed this place a few weeks ago and really wanted to go but I was in a rush. Next time, I’ll make time.
I tried their Sch’mores cookie and it was absolutely fantastic. Rich, creamy, chocolatey. It was simply amazing.
Another amazing about this place is that it open late — until midnight. Great place to read a book, write, do work or what have you.
They also have a maple bacon cookie that I should probably stay away from but I know I will be back to try it.
If you’re in Williamsburg visiting or you live here, do yourself a favor one day and just treat yourself.

I was drawn to this place by food baby. Where food baby goes, I follow, and food baby goes here often to buy stacks on stacks of cookies.
I would also imagine this is Cookie Monster’s dream house based on sheer variety of flavors alone, not mention the stackability for mass consumption.
I appreciate that these are in a whole different category of cookie than Levain. I noticed other shops seemed to be into replicating the massivity of Levain’s masterpieces, but Schmackery has its own style. They are thin, but still moist and flavorful. Actually, I think they melt and revert back to dough in the best way possible the moment they hit your mouth.
I had the cookie dough cookie. Thank goodness I only picked one, because next time I’m going to gain a pound with cookies on cookies on cookies, just like my little hero, food baby

I’ve been living in Brooklyn for sometime now and I am always out and about in the Bedford area since its so close to home. This cookie shop opened up just a couple months ago and I heard great things about the original one in Hell’s Kitchen so I decided to pop in for some dessert!
The cookies are $ 2.75 each and 2 for $ 5 so I decided to try the SALTED CHOCOLATE CHIP and the FUNFETTI SUGAR. I went the basic boring route, but I don’t regret it! First, the cookies are massive and one could’ve easily been enough for me. The Sea Salt Chocolate Chip was my favorite as the salt in the cookies brought out a different depth of flavor, it was chewy and not too sweet (which I personally prefer). The Funfetti cookie was a little too sweet in my opinion, but still very tasty, I wouldn’t get this one again though.
The next treat was the CINNAMON TOAST KRISPIE ($ 3.75). And following in suit with the cookies, these treats were massive. They are cut in huge blocks and I’m usually not a big fan of rice krispies, but these were delicious. Not too sweet and soft to bite into, I would definitely come back for this.
The workers were very nice and happy to talk to us about the desserts and all in all, it was a pleasant experience. Also, they have day old treats and cookies in a little basket ranging from $ 1-​$ 2 so I will definitely be coming by and grabbing some of those sometime as well.

Excellent cookies. Huge, soft, delicious. Everything you’d ever want in a cookie. I went with the caramel apple crisp and classic chocolate chip (2 for $ 5). A cup of milk is $ 2.50 — ridiculously overpriced in my opinion but these cookies NEEDED milk… *drooling*
I love chocolate chip cookies in general (including the salted varieties) but I wouldn’t say this was my favorite. It was a little too salty but still really good in a weird/​different way.
ALSO, they have more seating than I expected (including outdoor seating which is always a plus). Inside is cute, clean, and the guy working was friendly.
The only reason Schmackary’s isn’t better than Insomnia is that they don’t serve their cookies warm.
Will return. Will go out of my way to return. The hype is real.

I really wanted something different and my cookie dough cookie HIT the spot! I came home and drank two glasses of milk and this was what the doctor ordered! I never knew this cookie spot was here. I normally go to the one on 42^nd area… I tried to find some Christmas cookies and treats BC I’m really craving some! Nothing that really killed my «need»…
They had the confetti one with green and red vs color confetti sprinkles. It was tough to choose between this one and a cinnamon chunk one with more cinnamon cookie. The last cookie was staring at me, belly up, with cookie dough frosting all over it. I mean this was a delicious cookie. It was a chocolate chip cookie but I could also taste the bites of salt too. Great flavors. I’m a happy person/​customer.

I love the cookies from Schmackary’s. I’ve had cookies from Schmackary’s before, but had never been to one of their locations until last night. I finally had a chance to visit this location on Bedford Ave last night and it just so happened to be National Cookie Day! Perfect day to visit. I decided to go with the funfetti cookie, which I loved! A little bit on the sweeter side & very sugary. I also got the cookie dough cookie. It’s basically just a chocolate chip cookie with some cookie dough on top. It was pretty good also, but I think I liked the funfetti a little more. My friend got this Apple Cinnamon type cookie and that was also pretty good! The cookies from here are overall awesome and I can’t wait to try more. I think my next choice would be the red velvet.

I’ve had Levain cookies and while I think their product may slightly trump this place for taste, they can’t compete with the multitude of (changing) flavors this place has. They had a sweet potato cookie, a red velvet, some Elvis (think peanut butter, bacon, bananas, etc) cookie… I could go on. I chose the funfetti cuz it reminded me of birthday layer cake which I always love.
The product itself was chewy and slightly crisp at the same time. Soooo good.
A cookie was $ 2.75 which given the location and finished product, I thought was very reasonable. Staff was friendly and had no problems (or attitude) with our indecisiveness.

These are the best cookies in NY that are not from Levain.
This new location is on the strip of Bedford Ave in Williamsburg that is quickly becoming one of the best eating areas in NYC, with such a high concentration of must try places so close together (this, Davey’s Ice Cream, Sweet Chick, Joe’s Pizza, etc.).
As is usually the case with mini chains that expand these days, this location improves on the original one by adding much more space and seating, best of all which is in the outdoor patio in the back.
They have the same great cookies and other baked goods as the original location, such as Cinnamon Buns and funky versions of Rice Krispie Treats. The cookies are still the best though, such as the Red Velvet and Funfetti ones topped with that signature frosting, but even the classic Chocolate Chip is excellent ($ 2.75 each or save by getting 2 for $ 5).
Come here and try pretty much any of the cookies and you will not be disappointed.

Solid cookies and pretty good value for their size. Graham marshmallow cookies and maple bacon were big sellers the few minutes I was in there, and are the two I tried. Both were good, and I suspect all are good — what you order should simply depend on what flavor you feel like, instead of trying to find their «best cookie.»
Graham marshmallow had a strong marshmallow taste. Maple bacon was quite subtle — not a distinct maple nor bacon taste. Hoped for a stronger flavor, but it was a fine cookie.
These are good cookies at $ 2.75 per, $ 5 for 2, and discounts continue with volume.
