The Half Cookie
3 Boylston St, Newton, MA
Crema's Take
“This cozy Newton spot is all about warm, creative cookies paired with inventive coffee drinks that go way beyond the basics—think cookie butter lattes and matcha specials that actually taste as good as they sound. The intimate space encourages the grab-and-go vibe, but it's the signature warm cookies and made-to-order pastries (especially those cinnamon buns) that keep people coming back, making it feel less like a coffee run and more like a small indulgence. It's the kind of place where locals and visitors alike get genuinely excited about what's on the menu.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

I’m from Long Island, NY and had to stop by The Half Cookie while visiting Boston! I’m so glad I did! I got the cookie butter latte and the cookie butter s’mores cookie, and both were absolutely incredible. The flavors were perfectly balanced with sweet, cozy, and full of that…
So many creative flavors, and all the cookies come hot! The Oreo type cookie inside didn’t taste like authentic Oreo to me, nor the m&m type candies authentic m&ms, which was sad, but the cookie dough was fantastic and it was overall good. I am very picky about chocolate :-P. …
