The cookies were yummy, fun and filling! I'd definitely recommend the place, and I would certainly go back again. They're friendly people too. You should give them a try!

A great selection of Cookies. Very small place, more than four would fill the place up. Just grab your cookie, look at all the underwear pictures on the wall and head out for your walk.

The penis cookies are perhaps more fun than delicious, but they still make exceptional gifts! Fun to share!

The cookies are okay and certainly overpriced even for San Francisco. The service was pitiful and they all had an air of arrogance. OVER-RATED!

Yeah, you can get cookies shaped like a penis here, and you can buy "hot cookie" underpants, which are fine, if you're into that sort of thing. But a place with the name "Hot Cookie" better be serving up, well, great hot cookies ... and when we were there one a Friday night, this wasn't the case. The cookies looked... More

I'd heard about this place, so took a little detour out to the Castro. It's a very quiet and unassuming front but the product is the best part, as it should be. Fresh, sweet cookies and other extras - such as a chocolate dipped brownie on a stick. Very nice indeed.

My bike tour group (through Streets of San Francisco) made an impromptu stop here, after the tour guide mentioned how terrific the cookies are. All 5 of us bought cookies and ate them about 10 seconds after purchase. My husband and I shared a peanut-butter chocolate chip, and then two mini chocolate chip cookies. Delicious! If you're anywhere near by,... More

I miss my hot cookie! Discovered this place on my recent trip to San Francisco. Loved having my coconut and macadamia cookie fix on the walk back to my hotel. I could really go for one now (and wish i got the underwear!).

Big fresh cookies! Double chocolate are the best! Really good and reasonably priced couldn't ask for much more.
