What to do and see in Cayucos, California (CA): The Best Shopping

Reviewed By jonr105 - San Luis Obispo, United States

This place is about cookies — unique and delicious cookies that, as the name implies, feature butter and brown sugar as their primary ingredients, along with sea salt that sets up a great sweet and salty taste combo. Our family loves them. Their signature cookies come in a variety of flavors — including almond, cocoa, espresso, and vanilla. A special flavor is added several times a year — on this visit it was bourbon (very good!). In addition they sell very good traditional cookies, such as chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, lemon, snickerdoodles, and peanut butter. The cookies aren’t inexpensive. But there are two things that mitigate the cost — first, they are flavor intensive, so just one cookie, slowly enjoyed, is a great snack; and, second, they are very generous in their offering of free samples, so you know exactly what you’re getting, even if it’s just the free tastes and you can buy one cookie or as many as you want, in whatever combination of flavors you’d like. Prepackaged combinations are available — these make great gifts for family and friends. A small gift rack offers some other branded merchandise, such as t-shirts. The staff are more than friendly. There is no reason not to go in here and at least enjoy a couple of the free samples. We will return.
