Picture this: it’s after dinner time and you’re ready to settle in for the night and grab yourself a sweet treat. I don’t know about you, but my go-to is always going to be cookies. Toronto has no shortage of delicious options when it comes to desserts but if you’re reaching for a cookie, we’ve narrowed down the best spots in the city.

Craig’s Cookies

It’s a classic. Craig’s Cookies is known and loved by Torontonians and they’ve expanded quite a bit over the years.

Craig’s has a rotating menu of different types of cookies so be sure to check out what they have available before you head over! I suggest getting one of each ;).

Andrea’s Cookies

This locally-owned cookie shop is my current favourite in the city.

Andrea’s rotates cookie flavours as well but some staples include Birthday Cake and Chocolate Chunk.

Be sure to try these soft-baked cookies if you haven’t yet!

Where: 1632 Bloor St W

Courage Cookies

Courage Cookies are a bit different than the first two on this list as the cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.

Chocolate Chip, Oreo, Mini Egg, Birthday Cake and Matcha are just some of the amazing options for flavours at Courage!

Where: 28 Bathurst St #1-104 & 1561 Dundas St W

The Night Baker

This is another contender for the very best cookies in Toronto in my opinion.

If you go here you have to try the Ube cheesecake cookie with Ube jam filling. The Cinnamon Swirl with vanilla cream cheese filling is a close second!

Where: 825 College St & 405 Danforth Ave

Foxie’s 

If you really want to indulge – make it Foxie’s.

Foxie’s stuffed cookies are insanely good – Oreo Cheesecake and Strawberry Poptart are my go-to choices but the list of options here is long so grab a dozen and try for yourself.

Where: 669 Mt Pleasant Rd

La Gourmand 

Salty, sweet, crispy yet soft.

This cafe is known for its decadent cookies. The Chocolate Chip Cookie is the favourite but the Salted Butter and Caramel Cookie is 10/10 as well.

Where: 152 Spadina Ave

Bocados Bakeshop

Known for their “grand cookies,” Bocados is another amazing option for stuffed cookies.

The list of flavours includes Pistachio White Chocolate, Snickerdoodle Dulce De Leche Churro, Cookies and Cream and more.

Where: 923 Queen St W Unit B

Midnight Cookie

Have a late-night craving?

Midnight Cookie is open until 12:00 AM – 3:00 AM depending on the day of the week so you can get your cookie fix no matter how late it hits.

Red Velvet, Cookies N Creme, White Chocolate Sprinkle, Chocolate Chunk and Just The Dough are some of the options you need to try.

Where: Midnight Cookie, 3 Manor Rd E

Daan Go Cake Lab

Cake Lab may be in the name, but the cookies at Daan Go are to die for.

You have to try the Strawberry Pocky cookie, but the Unicorn and Double Chocolate are amazing as well!

Where: 241 Spadina Ave

Get yourself some cookies, Toronto!
