If you're visiting or a local you must stop by Hot Cookie! This is my go to sweet treat spot. They have an amazing variety of large cookies and other baked goods. They also had a small selection of drinks. My favorites by far are always the fudge packer (chocolate fudge cookie with big fudge chunks) and the cream me (cookies and cream). They have something for everyone! If it's not too busy, they can warm up the cookie. The cookies are consistently fresh. You can get discount cookies from the day before if they have any left it's written on this small marker board. There's no seating so grab a treat and walk around the Castro!

If you want something a little weird definitely check this place out. I was visiting the city and it was a quick walk from my hotel. the cookie/cake thing itself was pretty good! it was a bit hard, so maybe wait for it to melt a little. but the flavor was. it was almondly or coconuty?Kind of hard to place but, it was tasty and a fun experience. They have tons of other cookie and treat options, but I had to go with the biggest statement piece while I was there.

TLDR: Get it in! It's worth the experience, and it may leave your mouth watering for more. ;) - - - - - - Sweets aren't my favorite, since I don't have a sweet tooth, and I cannot handle the standard American sweet. Regardless, my friend insisted on stopping a station earlier before our destination for dessert - aite! Never did I expect that he would be taking me to Hot Cookie - I wasn't a fan of cookies, especially not hot, and the implied levels of sugar. Lo and behold, as I pressed my eyes upon the glass display case, he told me that we were going... to be eating dirty that night. It was at that moment, that I knew, that he was going to get the chocolate delight. I waited outside while he paid for it in cold, hard cash. And then he came out, offering me the first bite. Not only was it a chocolate shtick, it came with whipped in cream as well - delightful, my other dislike. He insisted that I take a nibble, so nibble I did, and i have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised at the appropriate level of sugar. Unfortunately, I couldn't take more than a mouthful, as it was quite large, and I couldn't handle that amount of sugar and sweets. Now for the real question, was it the right size and texture? Unfortunately, for that, I cannot answer, but it the texture was as soft as cake, and little chewing was necessary. And for size... well, we'll let the standard male pinky size decide.

It's a sexy cookie store in the Castro, with many flavors of cookies, open late. By sexy cookie store, I mean that there are pics of people wearing undies that say "hot cookie", and they sell cookies the shape of sexy anatomy. So go get your cookie freak on. Sometimes there's a line but it moves quickly.

When you're looking for a naughty indulgence in more ways than one, look no further than Hot Cookie. I tried the dark chocolate phallus cookie, and it was a mouthful and then some. The macaroon-filled cookie was so large that we got 3 servings out of it. Now it wouldn't be ideal if you're not a fan of coconut, but luckily coconut is one of my favourite flavours. Conveniently located right across from the muni station, it couldn't be any easier to satisfy a sugar craving and have some fun while at it.

It doesn't take long to know that I'm a fiend when it comes to cookies. Good chocolate chips cookies. The kind that are gooey in the center and a slight crunch on the outside. So I'm always on the lookout and came across this hot place. I mean spicy. In what sense? Imagine some of the decor, names, and some of the desserts being NSFW. They truly go in on the vibe of the place, but all I care about is the cookie. I got this chocolate chip cookie with some toffee as that was their best seller. It was fresh out of the oven, and ice started to like chocolate chip cookies with toffee in them. The cookie was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Check. The cookie had the right amount of sweetness. Check. The cookie wasn't too thick. Check. It easily beat all the things I was looking for in a great cookie. The toffee was subtle, so it balanced it really well. If I had anything to say to critique, I thought the cookie was a little bit on the drier side, but that's all I could think of.  I'm a fan of this place! This might be the place that I get my cookie fix in SF from now on so I can't wait to try the others!

Ordered ahead a cookie cake as a prize for a field day i hosted. I ordered the day before for a 6-7pm pick up and it wasn't ready til after 7pm which worked fine for me! Still waited in a long line and decided to pick up an extra snickerdoodle and oreo cookie to make it worth my while. Every cookie, including the cookie cake, was delicious! I was a tad disappointed with the writing on the cake- you can't really make it out as the writing is too thick. The fudge icing is yummy though. Appears someone underestimated how little space they had. Just something to keep in mind when ordering.

I'm addicted to their M&M cookies! After being out of the country for 2 months, one of the first places I came back to was Hot Cookie...for their M&M cookie! They actually have a pretty wide variety to choose from, but this has been my default for ages, and never disappoints. It's best when you can get them while they're still warm from the oven. But honestly, they're still not bad the next day, tho I usually finish off the entire cookie in the car. A Hot Cookie of the Month is featured monthly. In August, it's "Morning Sex" cookies. If you know Hot Cookie, the name won't surprise you. Lol. It sounded good, tho I didn't try it (too busy working on my M&M cookie haha). Anyway, it's a "toffee and butterscotch chip cookie topped with toasted pecans and a drizzle of maple icing". Doesn't that sound tempting?? This location in the Castro is a grab and go spot, so no tables or chairs.

Hot Cookie has become a must visit when we visit SF. The specialty shaped cookies are a novelty, but taste amazing and their regular cookies are also very good. I love that they have fresh baked options as well as discounted day old options. The Harvey Milk Toffee is my favorite, but we love trying their special cookies and working our way through all the options. The people who work here are always so friendly and they're happy to let you know what the updated stock of day old cookies is, to help you save a bit. The shop is really small, but it's a quick grab and go experience.

I always walked by this place, curious but pretty dismissive about it. I finally gave in and gave it a try and now it's a go-to craving! Perfect location in the heart of Castro! Warm and filled with the glorious smells of fresher baked cookies- I immediately felt at home and in love! Speedy, low-pressure, and friendly workers behind the counter. Non-pretentious and welcoming to all. Walk up and get a taste of heaven! Perfectly chewy and scrumptious cookies! I have tried the chocolate chip, pokie (m&m), white chocolate and macadamia nut, and white chocolate and raspberry cookies! Loved and recommend them all! Pretty sure you can't go wrong here!
