Monica’s Gourmet Cookies

Love these cookies — my favorite being the lemon. Rich and buttery, they are delicious. The only downside is the price… but who can stop a woman on an amazing cookie sugar craving. I frequently buy at Westborn Market, but definitely planning a stop at the Grand Rapids location.

I live in Chicago and we have these delicious cookies available to us at a local store. The almond and chocolate chip cookies are amazing! I love the dough like texture. I will for sure be back for more and will gladly stop by the shop when I visit GR next!

The cookies are amazing! I’ve tried four of the flavors, and love the taste, consistency, the way they look — everything about them. They’re a perfect size, and the richness of taste is incredible. What’s even more attractive to me is the customer service, however. I had ordered several desserts from a website that aggregates a variety of unique food items, and one of the items was gluten free cookies from Monica’s. There was a glitch with Federal Express and I didn’t know if I would get the cookies on time. It was over the weekend, and as soon as I knew there was an issue, I left an email response on Monica’s website. Within a very short period of time, I’d received an email from Monica directly, explaining the situation and letting me know that she had in fact overnighted the delivery.
Unsolicited by me, on my doorstep on Monday, was a large tin of delicious cookies as a gesture for the inconvenience and stress I’d experienced. That level of customer service is all too infrequent, and I’m delighted whenever I find an owner who «gets it». There’s very little else to ask for in an online retailer: fabulous, creative, delicious product, an owner who’s engaged and oversees the operations down to the fine details, and attentive customer service. I will be frequenting her website for gifts to lucky friends in the future.

The plain chocolate chip cookies are literally the best I have ever tasted. I am out of state and was introduced to them by my in laws who live in the area. If I was close to this shop I’d be in big trouble! They’re definitely unique and I haven’t found anything like them anywhere else. I look forward to Christmas or birthday boxes that have these gems packed in them.

These cookies are adorable and scream gourmet from first glance. I was totally enticed by the icing that so elegantly drapes the top of these little cookie mounds.
However, upon biting in, I was quickly disappointed. I expected the icing to be quite sweet, and it is. The intense sweetness of this icing definitely calls for a less sweet cookie base. These cookies are super sweet and super buttery. Which is cookie dough overload… In a bad way. The texture is very dense and has an underbaked feel, which I like, but the outside needs to have at least a touch of toasty baked brown to it to pull out some sort of flavor.
I wanted to love them, I really did. Especially at three dollars a pop. But I can’t say I even almost like them. They are much better to look at than to eat.

I have given Monica’s cookies to friends and relatives for special occasions for years and people always rave. There is simply nothing else on the market like them. She is always coming up with new flavors too and constanting improving her selections with new varieties. Her cookies look small and harmless and you think you can eat a few of them, but then you bite into them and your mouth explodes with rich flavor. By the time you are halfway through one, you begin to get full. They are so delicious you want more, but so rich that you can only eat one at a time. They are great with the Starbucks coffee Monica serves too. Absolutely fantastic!!!

The cookies to me were average, overpriced and the chocolate chip has been beaten by Jimmy Johns and Subways Chocolate Chip.
In addition when i gave a fair review to Monica she decided to threaten me with a lawsuit/​police over a ³⁄₅ rating — I boycott the ones that threaten my Freedom of Speech and Opinion.
The lowest to me a Cookie Place can go is becoming un-​american.
I will never buy a Monicas Cookie Again. Best of Luck Monica.

I consider myself a cookie expert because I have been fortunate to try cookies across the US. These cookies are so fresh and you can tell the ingredients use the highest quality. Look out Mrs. Fields, these cookies are the best!!! I have been there 5 times and the service is always outstanding with friendly staff and most important cookies are to die for!!!

I get their cookies while shopping at Village Market in South Haven. I really do like the Caramel Rock. Most of the time, the cookies are spot on. I did think when I had one cookie it was a bit more like cookie dough taste, but it still tasted great.
I hope when I make it up to Grand Rapids that I can stop by the actual shop.

As good as it gets! Each cookie is crafted to perfection to turn any good day into a freaking fantastic day. Not only are their cookies appropriate for breakfast, lunch or dinner but the second this peace of heaven graces your taste buds, you’ll be wondering when you can get your next one.

Sorry, I beg to disagree with Megan’s review. I had ordered these cookies before for friends who always politely thanked me, but I had never ordered any for myself before. Monica does a beautiful presentation, but I don’t care for the taste and texture. They DO taste like unbaked cookie dough (even though they are baked, but since there is no color to any of the cookies it can’t be for very long or with any real heat). That does not appeal to me — I prefer a chewy cookie with more visual appeal. Maybe they’re better at the store? In any case, I can’t see ordering again.

Heard this was the place to stop for cookies, so I stopped to pick some up for the office this morning. The hours on the door said 8 – 6 Mon thru Fri… However no one was there and the door was locked even though the open sign was lit up… There was also no phone number given in the door or on the web to call and get the correct hours. Pretty shoddy way to do business, I won’t bother going back.

Move over Famous Amos and Mrs. Fields, this is not your ordinary cookie. Although it is difficult to sum up in words what a Monica’s cookie is like, I will give it my best. These ultra-​rich cookies are one of a kind. Their cute unassuming shape, like a cute lump, hold so much goodness within them. They are soft and decadent. I have heard many people moan in pleasure as they take their first bite. They are sneaky in the sense that they make you think you are being naughty and indulging in dough straight from the bowl, but these little babies are already baked. That’s the genius and uniqueness behind these little delights. I could go on forever about the cookies, but let me tell you about the shop.
The shop is a lovely large open space. There is a counter/​cookie display with all of the daily cookie offering laid out and there is a full service coffee bar too, serving up Starbucks coffee. There is simple clean black tables, a high top bar with squishy stools, and some over-​sized lounge chairs next to a quaint fireplace.
Pop in for a cookie, or stay a while and make a date with a plate of cookies. Either way, you’re going to leave with a smile on your face. Bonus, they offer free Wi-​Fi!
