Antoine’s Cookie Shop

Delicious cookies. Friendly staff. Groucho Marx and Albert Einstein approve this message.

Loved this shop.

They don't know how to deliver.

they will leave your order outside the building with no notification or call.

Simply the best cookies we’ve had

Freshly made soft warm cookies in a variety of flavors. Especially recommend the honeycomb

I live in south San Jose and drove here twice in one week to get cookies! I personally like the thinner, soft, with a touch of chewy textured cookies and this place checks all the boxes.

My husband’s work friend is close friends with the owner, and he would talk about how good the cookies were. I finally got to try them and I’m hooked!

I’ve only been to the Palo Alto location. It’s a small shop with a tight entrance/cashier area. I think there was only a small round table with 2 chairs for a sitting option. Service was simple. Our cashier was very patient with our parents asking a bunch of questions lol.

Bottom line: My go-to cookie spot!

They are ok. Some were moist and some were super dry. The size are not consistent. Some are big and some are small.

Really excellent cookies, especially the dark chocolate ones.

The 66% dark chocolate chip cookie is delicious.I think it’s the best local option for buying cookies.

TL;DR: Best cookies in the entire galaxy!

Antoine's cookies have slowly become my favorite cookies! I've tried many different cookie places across the world, and if I had to choose, Antoine's is #1! If you want the PERFECT cookie, you NEED and WANT to come here! It is the perfect amount of chewy and soft texture at the same time and still crispy on the outside! No other cookie like it! Also the cookie has a deep rich flavor of flour and sugar to it that no other cookie is like! Even now when I'm thinking of eating a baked good or sugar in general, I ask myself, do I want this, or will Antoine's satisfy me more? So far I've been asking that question to myself the last month, and about 90% of the time, I hold off on buying or eating something with sugar to save it for when I can Antoine's cookies again!

I've had every cookie here! Yup, I've been here that many times, and every time I come I buy a dozen or more :) The very unique cookies that I have not had the same taste ANYwhere else are cookies n' cream, peanut buttercup, and snickerdoodle. I did not like peanut butter or snickerdoodle cookies before, but after trying Antoine's, I now love these flavors! But only at Antoine's :)

I don't really have a favorite because every time I come, I have a new favorite! Once it was cookies n' cream, then it was the classic chocolate chip, then snickerdoodle, and then......

TIP: You can freeze Antoine's cookies! They still taste great even after a few months! Yeah.....I forgot about a few one time and they were still amazing! Not as good as fresh of course, but like 80% still great! Just make sure you freeze them in a very airtight container (or even better ziploc bag) and when you defrost it, let it get back to room temperature. I've made the mistake a couple times to speed up the process using a microwave (hehe yeah....i've experimented many times with how many seconds to heat up the frozen cookies), I recommend to not using the microwave and just waiting patiently for them to become room temperature. Just my preference though ;) heated up cookies with the chocolate a little melted is also pretty good :)

TIP: 1 day old cookies are also pretty good! Chocolate chip is probably my favorite day old :) It also could be because it is only $1/day old cookie :) You can buy a box of 5 for $5 :) Normally it is $1.95/cookie.

I'm also so glad this store is in Palo Alto now because now I can go more often since it is closer!

Above was May 2021 review.

Short update as of Sep 2024. Cookies are now $2.50 each, but still a great deal and still the best cookies in the entire galaxy! Ever since trying Antoine's for the first time, I think back in 2016 or 2017, I have not found another cookie or place that I enjoy more! Thank you Antoine for sharing your cookie making gifts to the world!

Also even though the normal price of cookies have gone up, Antoine still sells day old cookies 5 for $5! thank you Antoine!

When I spotted this cookie shop, I immediately made a U-turn!I picked up a couple of my favorite cookies and cream treats, and to my delight, they were still warm and incredibly tasty. The staff here seemed even friendlier than at the San Mateo location, and I was in and out in no time. The cookies were absolutely delicious!Given that this location is much closer to me than San Mateo, I'll definitely be stopping by again. However, I must warn you, parking here is a nightmare. But if you're lucky enough to find a spot, don't hesitate to grab some cookies!
