It was so great! Smelled amazing. I feel as though this is one of the Main Street experiences you need to have, going to Grandma's Cookies. It was packed the holiday season so I went during the week and the line was shorter! The chocolate chip cookies are amazing, no wonder people were coming in and order dozens on dozens of cookies lol I feel like the line moved fairly quickly and there were a lot of things to look at before ordering. Definitely a great holiday destination.

What are the odds of: 1) picking some random lunch spot, 2) while sitting at said lunch spot, impulsively deciding to see if there were any cookie shops nearby, and 3) finding out the recently rated #1 cookie shop in America (USA Today) is just 900 feet away from you? After reading the reviews that mentioned 30-minute waits, I decided I'd HAVE to put up with that wait for the best cookie in America! Much to my surprise there was NO LINE! I assume being the day AFTER Christmas instead of the day BEFORE had something to do with that as I was told the line was down the block just a couple days earlier. Ambiance was perfectly fine. Ordered one dozen (variety) without even checking the price. I was totally expecting to hear $30+ but when I was told $12.94 (after tax) I was shocked! Good to see the owner didn't let the award go to their head and inflate their great prices! Speaking of owner, I assume that's who was behind the counter. A very personable and friendly guy. Always good seeing good people succeed! Good thing I live no where near St. Charles as I'd be here way too often! I'm sure my three local friends who had never been or even knew of the ranking will be cursing me everytime they go back for another dozen! They absolutely LOVED the cookies!

Quite simply the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever tasted. I love cookie dough and these cookies bring you the cookie dough experience but in a deliciously baked cookie. I realize they aren't everyone's favorite, but if you haven't tried them before, hurry out to St. Charles and pick up a dozen or so. You owe to yourself and your family to give these cookies a try. We don't celebrate Christmas without them.

There's a reason there's lines out the door sometime! Each cookie is delicious and the staff members are friendly for how busy it is. This time I opted for a regular chocolate chip, the scoop in the middle is what dreams are made of - baked enough to be cooked but still delightfully soft. I got a hot apple cider as well. They have a combo right now - a cookie and small hot coco or cider for 2.99, a great deal for a yummy snack! Their Christmas decor is especially cute.

If you're anywhere near St. Charles, Grandma's Cookies is an absolute must-visit, especially during the festive Pumpkin Glow on Main Street. Yes, there was a 30-minute wait, but let me tell you--it was worth every second. These cookies are, quite simply, the best cookies in the entire world. Trust me. They're perfectly sweet, rich, and served warm, with just the right balance that makes them feel almost too good to be true. You can taste the love in every bite, and honestly, I could keep eating them until I feel sick--no regrets!

I love Grandma's Cookies. It is always a treat to go to the store. They have awesome monthly flavors to try. The service is great. The shop is cute on historic St. Charles Main Street. You can't beer the OG Chocolate Chip Cookie. The best!

If you love Cookies this is the place to go. Located in the Historic Downtown of St. Charles. We came all the way from Chicago just to see what all the hype was about. Plenty of parking but does get very busy during peak time. Great service and plenty of variety to choose from. The store is very small but very organized and the line moves pretty fast. The cookie prices are very affordable. My favorite was the Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip. We will definitely stop back for another few dozen when we're passing thru again.

A local we encountered while visiting Saint Charles told us we simply had to go to Grandma's. We took his advice and purchased three: chocolate chip, double chocolate chip (chocolate cookie with chocolate chips), and the daily special of apple crumble. The apple crumble was quite good, basically a sugar type cookie with apple pie filling on top. The other two were good, but not really my preference. They were less sweet than most chocolate chip cookies and more toward light a shortbread type texture than the chewy or dense-but-crispy texture that's normally expected. What did impress us was the price. When they rang it up for the three cookies, I paused and asked if that was the correct amount. The employee looked at me curiously, and I had to explain that I live in California, where the price for one bakery cookie would have been nearly that amount. I also liked the signs in the decorative box and tin area of the store, explaining clearly that they were an optional purchase only and a regular box would be provided with purchase. That was considerate. Overall, the cookies were fine, but I would probably try a different bakery if in the area again. Personal preference.

I went here with some friends on a Friday night at around 6:00 PM. There was no line and we were able to take our time making our cookie selection! The employees were very friendly, patient, and efficient. The cookies are a great price! I ended up ordering one sugar cookie and two chocolate chip. The texture of the cookies are a bit different than my usual preference. I typically like a soft, gooey texture, but both types I tried here were a bit more on the crumbly, grittier side. I wonder if I would like them better warm! Nevertheless, I was not disappointed in the flavors and my overall experience. I have heard amazing things about their lemon cream cheese cookies and their apple crumble cookies, so I can definitely see myself coming back to give them a try! I also heard they offer a nice deal for their day old cookies, so I would love to check that out next time, too.

This place was very busy during Christmas time. This place certainly has a Christmas feel to it during Christmas. The cookies were great. The cookies were decent size and filling. The sweet level was just right. I can see why this place is so busy especially during the holiday season. The long line of people waiting to get cookies speaks for the cookies themselves.
