Bumzy’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

A 5 star cookie spot in Fillmore? Ok, there was no doubt in my mind that I had to try it! Located right next to an ice cream spot and the beauty supply store. It doesn’t have a big sign located outside so you have to really look for the sign located on the window.
Family owned and operated with a 3 generational cookie recipe that will knock your socks off! I ordered the lemon frosting cookie and snickerdoodle and it was BOMB! Fresh, warm and mouthwatering! Literally just melted in my mouth!
The inside is pretty small. Not your sit down and rest type of spot. A couple chairs and seats.
Hours of operation are: Tue-​Thu: 11am-​6pm Fri-​Sat: 11am-​7pm
They have different variety of cookies such as:
Sweet Sadie-​sugar cookie

TY Special-​chocolate chip, walnut, raisin
J And T-​oatmeal, raisin, walnut

The cookies were good but just not THAT good for the price I paid for them.

Sunday, 3 PM
Apparently this place is usually closed on Sundays, but the Fillmore Jazz Festival was taking place, and all the local businesses stayed open as a result. We had just stopped in the Mission to do some thrifting before checking out the festival, so we got a freshly made ice cream sandwich from CREAM while we were in the neighborhood. Seeing Bumzy’s was open (and not knowing anything about it beforehand), we decided to do a little taste test to see which one would prove to be better.
The test was a resounding win for CREAM. Bumzy’s probably has the edge in cookie quality, but not by very much. Bumzy’s cookies (we got chocolate chip, the classic) were probably a bit bigger than CREAM as well, and were softer/​meltier. The ice cream was a huge win for CREAM — CREAM has a wide variety of choices and they have all exceeded my expectations — even vanilla, which I got this time with vegan banana walnut and white chocolate macadamia cookies. In terms of price, this is where Bumzy’s starts to lose major points.
Overall, I would judge CREAM to be a better overall sandwich, but if you are a serious cookie person, you might want to give Bumzy’s a try — all other things equal. However, all other things are not equal, as we can see here:
CREAM ice cream sandwich — $ 2.99
Bumzy’s ice cream sandwich — $ 8.70

Couple other things of note — the interior of Bumzy’s was haphazard and disorganized. I felt they could have had room for double the amount of people if it was set up differently. I didn’t really understand the theme or general flow of the place — I was awkwardly standing between the counter and a table with magazines you can read (it’s not a doctor’s office?). To top it off, as the Fillmore JAZZ festival was going on, Bumzy’s had hired a DJ to play songs right out front at a loud volume. I went out into the street and tried to hear the live jazz being played directly across from Bumzy’s, and couldn’t hear it — it was being drowned out by a Beyonce remix. If you’re going to be open for the Jazz Festival, let people enjoy it.
I would give 1.5 stars because the cookie was really good. I’m not trying to pay $ 9 for a couple cookies and ice cream, though.

Fabulous «just-​like-​Mom-​used-​to-​make» cookies. Sheila and Toni are total delights — we can and often do spend 20 minutes just chatting with them as we wait for cookies that come hot from the oven. Perfect snickerdoodles, delicious peanut butter cookies, addictive white chocolate/​macadamia cookies and so many others! They are a gem in the neighborhood!

I went in here to buy six cookies. I came out with ten. Don’t be fooled by the non-​fancy looking cookies. They’re top notch: chewy, crunchy around the edges. Just perfect. And they’ve a wide variety too – snickerdoodles, white chocolate, hazelnut, chocolate chip and walnuts. And like any proper cookies shop should, they sell milk too. The place is just heaven.
And the people are warm too. I had gone there in the evening and she offloaded everything she got on me.
Definitely coming back here.

Cookies were amazing and the baker/​owner was super sweet. The cookies were chewy on the inside with just the right amount of crunch on the outside. They are constantly baking throughout the day so chances are you can get a warm batch! I was told that next time I could call ahead and Bumzy would have my order all ready to go when I arrived. Park in the Safeway parking lot and just walk over if you don’t see street parking. Totally worth it!

Feisty ladies selling cookies in a friendly atmosphere. The cookies look like the ones you get at Subway but they’re a far stretch from. Well made and well balanced, the lemon cookie was a fav.

Although it is very easy to overlook, Bumzy’s is a super cute shop. The minute you walk in you feel as if you just walked into your grandmother’s kitchen. The cookies are so good, especially when paired with milk. I recommend the chocolate chip raisin cookie, however many of my friends prefer their chocolate chip cookies… How can you go wrong with chocolate chip cookies? If you’re ever near the Fillmore you have to check Bumzy’s out… If you don’t, you’ll definitely regret it! :-P

Best cookies in the city, and a great feeling in this charming little cookie café to boot. Sheila and Toni the owners make the cookies themselves, by hand in small batches from scratch, hot out of the oven when you arrive. They’re welcoming and great, as is the ambiance. A surprise little café mid-​Fillmore. Was so excited when I found this place! Can’t recommend Bumzy’s enough!

Love love love! The best brownie I’ve ever had in my life. Met the owner on a walk in the area and told her we would stop by her cookie shop. So glad we did, what a delicious treat and what kind and wonderful owners.
A must stop from now on for our trips to the City!

Yumola! Fresh & sublime cookies; genuine, generous, personable, helpful, beautiful local owners; charming shop with a light, airy atmosphere and oh, so conveniently located!
If you’re looking for cheap, not here; but fair trade is fair for good & right! These women have written f-​a-​i-​r in crispy, chewy goodness into every cookie!

After the ramen festival we walked around and stumbled upon this store. My friend and I love cookies so how can we say «no».
The store was very clean and welcoming.
We had chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter and chocolate chip with nuts. the cookie was indeed delicious but it was too crispy for my liking. I personally like my cookies to have crisp edges but a nice soft and chewy middle.
The store owners were very sweet. As we say down, one of them came to us to give us hand sanitizer before we indulged in our cookies. Kudos for the hospitality!

My friend and I unexpectedly ran into a wall of people in Japan Town due to Ramen Feat. Dude all I wanted was mochi but the lines were ridiculous, I wasn’t going to wait 1 hour for mochi! So I left disappointed, but we ran across Bumzys place and had some of the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve had in a while.
The choco chip cookies have crispy edges, a chewy interior crust, and soft centers. The cookies are sweet with a slight salty aftertaste. The owner there, Toni, was super sweet and awesome to us. Check it out!

Bumzy’s niche is cookies, ethiopian coffee, and ice cream. all i saw was cookies so went with that. display area is small. only cookies were seen in the plastic case.

The first time I came it was around 4:30pm. Turns out they close after the last cookie is sold for the day if it too late to make another batch. Basically your cookie is guaranteed fresh!
I had the chocolate chip cookie. it is firm on the edges a bit less firm in the center. Ideally I would like my cookies soft in the center. it was a bit too stiff for my style — still good though.
I paid about $ 11.96 for 5 cookies. I was a bit mind blown…5 cookies!

3.85
I like that the chips and nuts in the cookies are big and now chopped finely. I like my cookies somewhat chewy and these were a bit too crunchy for my liking.
Service was great. I was hesitant to buy cookies in the late afternoon (not sure if it was fresh) but the lady offered me a free cookie– I ended up leaving with 5 =/

Without a doubt the best cookie I have ever had. I seriously welcome anyone who thinks they have tasted a better cookie. I am not even a huge cookie fan, but these cookies are the real deal. When you get them fresh out of the oven they will be hot, soft and to die for. But the crazy thing is if you wait about an hour after they are out of the oven they get a little harder and develop the perfect cookie crunch. If you are looking for a legit cookie this place is a must. They make their cookies fresh each day, so make sure to call in your order, because if you come towards the end of the day they will most likely be sold out.
Obviously I think the cookies are great but the owners Sheila & Toni, mother & daughter respectively are great people too. They are both so fun to chat with that sometimes I come into Bumzy’s and 30 minutes later I realize I have not even ordered my cookies yet. It’s nice to know that the best cookie ever, has the best owners to go with it.

With all the buzz and hype surrounding cupcakes for the past few years, it sure is great to get back to the basics of some good ol’ fashioned cookies.
I make no bones about how I found this place. Purely by accident. And because I knew nothing about this place I only bought two cookies– big mistake. Walnut chocolate chip and an oatmeal raisin were my choices. I didn’t want to get too adventurous with the variety. I played it safe just in case the nice looking cookies were deceiving and I would’ve had to toss them out of the window or feed them to some scraggly dog or bird along the way. As it turned out, both were excellent, crispy and crunchy along the outside and soft along the center. The best of both worlds. So the only bird feeding was me eating every crumb in that paper bag. Like the slogan says… You won’t want to share ‘em. I did and was filled with lots of regret.
The mother and daughter team are very nice, friendly, and professional. They mentioned many other cookie choices that I definitely will have to go back to try. And they also pointed out that they make old fashioned hand churned ice cream.
Will I be back?
Damn right, get ya cookie on!

COOKIES WITH A LIGHT CRUNCH!!!
(4.5 stars)
Cookie creaters, stand up because you get a standing ovation. Homemade style cookies, like Betty Crocker, minus Betty and Crocker…
— COOKIES, delicious and fresh
— PRICES, affordable
I love my cookies with that perfect crunch to them, especially on the ends and then just right in the middle. Every bite the cookie crumbles into the palatte and my eyes light up in excitement. Not too sweet and not too bland, two thumbs up.
Will I be back? YES!
Until the next review…

Love this place! Sheila and Toni are so welcoming and friendly. The white chocolate macadamia nut is especially good. They bake the cookies fresh daily and also have homemade ice cream. Yum!
Make sure to bring cash.

I WISH I can say I was not bummed about Bumzy’s but I was…
With one of the nicest and most gracious mother-​daughter teams that own and run Bumzy’s, I feel guilty for writing a 3 Star review but it just doesn’t live up to its hype in my book.
On Sunday, 7.3.11, I came to Bumzy’s while at the Fillmore Jazz Festival. I initially came in to get their Chocolate Chip Cookies but they ran out. However, while waiting to order, I saw a small poster advertising their White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies which was #11 on 7×7’s «A Baker’s Dozen: The 12 BEST Cookies in San Francisco». Although I’ve stopped following the 7×7 list for some time now because they have led me astray plenty of times, I thought I take their recommendation one more time (which is now my last).
WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA COOKIE ($ 2.25)
I’m an Anthony’s Cookies girl by heart, so the White Chocolate Macadamia Cookie at Bumzy’s was very disappointing to say the least. Although I like my cookie crunchy, I like it to have a chewy moistness to it as well. Bumzy’s cookie was very, very hard and crunchy, almost brittle-​like and very dry. Being a nut with a high fat content, I expected the macadamia to be buttery, but all the richness had been drawn out from the toasting. I thought the white chocolate chunks would add some moisture but there were very few pieces. And for $ 2.25 a cookie plus tax, it’s simply overpriced for its small size.
I can tell the mother-​daughter team at Bumzy’s have an immense passion for what they do so I wish them all the luck with the crunchy Cookie Monster fans!
