Pinckney Cookie Cafe — Local services in Kirkland

I was looking for a place to grab a quick hot drink - and my eyes happened upon Pinckney Cookie Cafe.

I've been trying to eat more healthy - staying away from cookies, and chocolates, my two greatest weeknesses. But... like a warm fire on a cold winter night, Pinckney Cookie Cafe's friendly red sign lulled me in - as if I were Caliban from Shakespeare's The Tempest:

Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments Will hum about mine ears; and sometime voices, That, if I then had waked after long sleep, Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming, The clouds methought would open, and show riches Ready to drop upon me; that, when I waked, I cried to dream again.

He's intentional with his ingredients, and knows what he is doing. At 70 years old, he's giving the world one of the best things you can give it: happiness in the form of a cookie.

Eat them chilled, eat them warmed - however what you choose, the only wrong way is to say...

There are still no shipping details with USPS (which when I pay for extra shipping I like to think that companies use Fedex or UPS) and the whole point of paying for the expedited shipping was to get the cookies to my brother near his birthday. I would understand if the company wasn't in the same city as my recipient but in fact they are within 30 minutes. This is frustrating and a waste of additional money to try and get the cookies delivered on time. I can't speak to the product because they still haven't been delivered, but if you are looking to give a gift through this company.... look elsewhere

I started at 1 star because of the delivery issue. But management contacted me and were extremely gracious in attempting to rectify the...

In the labyrinth of Kirkland’s strip malls, nestled between a burger joint and a sandwich shop, lies a cookie haven that could make even the most stoic Seattleite crack a smile. The aroma of freshly baked indulgence wafts through the air, luring unsuspecting passersby into its cozy embrace.
