I wandered into Biff’s Cookies for the first time Friday, and I was delightfully greeted by Elika with a huge smile AND was offered a FRESH baked warm and gooey, fresh-out-of-the-oven cookie! I knew I was having a, “this is what dreams are made of” moment! Elika introduced me to Biff, the owner of the facility, who was incredibly accommodating, informative and so friendly with comical cookie-banter and jokes! He walked me through all of their cookie knowledge and information, different flavor options and pressed me for my range of preferences. I left the store in tremendous spirits and 5 cookies to try! Obviously I wanted to gobble them instantly, but I also knew thee were too good to not share. I took them home to my wife, and here’s our shakedown:
California Killer Cookie Signature Taste: great taste, pecans are strong; great quality chocolate detected Chewiness: soft inside, with crunchy exterior-perfect balance and baking Ratio of mix-ins: excellent, perfect balance with perfect 3 flavor melding Quality: cooked perfectly with gooey chewy middle Rebuy: yes
Coconut white macadamia Taste: coconut was excellent, added great texture; needs more macadamia nuts; explosion of macadamia and coconut flavors Chewiness: very chewy with spot-on baking; exterior not too crispy, but middle nice and soft with gooey and chewiness Ratio of mix-ins: need more macadamia nuts, or omit Quality: excellent Rebuy: not usually a macadamia lover but would re-eat
Regular semi-sweet chocolate chip Taste: spot on, high quality chocolate is detectable Chewiness: VERY CHEWY—chewier than others Ratio of mix-ins: perfect ratio Quality: great Rebuy: definitely, now one of my favorites!
Golden Oatie chocolate chip Taste: oats aren’t flavorful -cookie and Chewiness: very dense and chewy Ratio of mix-ins: would’ve preferred a regular oatmeal raisin Quality: oats weren’t represented well in flavor Rebuy: would not rebuy
Almond toffee Taste: very similar to regular semi-sweet cookie; the toffee to be stronger Chewiness: very good, baking is perfect: crisp exterior, chewy middle Ratio of mix-ins: moderate, the toffee needs higher representation Quality: lacking distinct taste, tastes too similarly to the regular chocolate chip Rebuy: would not rebuy
Favorite: Chocolate chip Coconut macadamia Next to try: oreo stuffed cookie, double peanut butter salted caramel and white...
Read moreHad lunch down the street at Otro Cafe, decided to stop in here randomly and acquire some cookies. Lots of parking in the back, with convenient access.
I walk in, immediately am given a sugar cookie to try out, an older man named John asks me for honest feedback on the sugar cookie and all I can amount are - it tastes good, and it tastes like a sugar cookie. Impressive feedback, apologies John, best I could do at the time. Honestly, it tasted just as you'd want a sugar cookie to taste like, so I think they nailed it on that front.
Asked if I could take a couple pictures, permission granted, bought a half dozen and he included a free cookie (their California Killer Cookie). Unique cookies. Tasty. They're not overblown and excessive like Crumbl cookies, they're still kind of expensive, but they taste more how you'd think a bakery cookie should taste. More normal is what I'm getting at.
In my picture of three cookies, the middle one is their California Killer Cookie. Biffer Doodle (Snicker Doodle) on the left, and on the right a White Macadamia Nut (my favorite out of all). Little heavy on the wallet...

We arrived a few minutes before the store opened. Once they opened, we were greeted warmly and asked if this was our first time here. Because it was, we were each given a whole gormet cookie. As we were enjoying the tasty treat, our Uncle Biff's cookie guide told us about the drinks the restaurant provided including regular and chocolate milk. They also have coffee, water, soda and a very delicious fruity flavored iced tea. She showed us all the various cookie selections. They sell cookie dough in 1lb and 2 lb options. She discussed the special deals and pricing and how the groupon worked. She was friendly and informative even talking about the history of the owner and his cookie shop. There was some seating but looked like it was more for stopping in to pick up cookies and go. They have an online catering menu and ordering system for special occasions and needs. We bought a dozen cookies and got 14. The menu includes the ability to gift cookies. They are definitely worth visiting!! If you love cookies, plan an outing to Uncle Biff's California...
