Junior Cookies (Santa Monica)
2726 Main St, Santa Monica, CA
Crema's Take
“This Santa Monica gem has carved out a devoted following by treating coffee with the same care and creativity they bring to their namesake cookies, creating a cozy neighborhood spot where the two complement each other perfectly. The team here sources thoughtfully and pulls shots with precision, but what keeps locals coming back is the unpretentious warmth of the space and the sense that they genuinely care about both your coffee and your day. It's the kind of place where quality doesn't feel intimidating, just honest and genuinely delicious.”

Some seats inside, very quick and yummy! It’s nice to sit inside and talk while you wait because the music isn’t too loud, especially when it isn’t busy.
I love Junior Cookies! I was a bit skeptical before coming because I was worried it’d be too sweet like crumbl, however I was pleasantly surprised with the depth of flavors from these cookies. I also love how they’re smaller. My favorites were the Tiramisu Kit Kat and the Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake. I was impressed that they also make each cookie fresh to order and I felt like there was a lot of care taken into making them. The drinks looked good too so I will have to come back! Sorry about the quality of the photos! I was so excited to eat them
Great spot for cookies and coffee! The cookies are fresh, soft, and full of flavor, and the coffee is smooth and well-made. Perfect place for a sweet break. Nutella cookie is the best!
This place is THE BEST. All of their cookies are fresh and taste amazing. Plus the customer service is always so nice. My favorite is their gluten free salted almond chocolate chip! Matcha yummy and anything with their jelly flavors😛🧡
The concept and the vibe somewhat for me delivered resemblance to Zooies. Many flavor options, most of which came in single serving, but also provided bigger size ones. Junior might have something beyond to offer, with couple seats in house should you not be able to wait and wanna grab a bite straight away on the spot. They also occasionally offered samples of different flavors to try before picking your choice to purchase. They did sell the cookies in combo of dozen or 2 dozens. The smallest basket size would be a set of 2, which unfortunately had to be the same flavor (frowned). Like the name, the cookies mostly came in junior (mini size) so you could actually had space in your tummy to try multiple. I tried the Raspberry Cheesecake cookie and Nutella cookie cup, both of which came with quite generous toppings and stuffing. The cookie base itself was decent and I’d say it’s winning point was the fun topping play more than the cookie. I might have more options I fancied more in town :)
