Sweet Martha’s Cookie Jar
1791 Dan Patch Ave, Saint Paul, MN
Crema's Take
“Sweet Martha's is a State Fair institution beloved for cookies that live up to the hype—warm, buttery, and generous enough to share (or not). The cookies arrive in impressively generous portions, with chocolate that melts perfectly and a texture that's soft enough to break apart but sturdy enough to travel home, making them worth the fair pilgrimage for both first-timers and devoted regulars. Fair-goers consistently rave about the quality and friendliness here, though arrive with realistic expectations about lines and pricing at this iconic Minnesota booth.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

I am really disappointed in Sweet Martha’s cookies this year at the fair. That’s the one thing I look forward to at the fair. This is how my cookies looked this year after bringing them home.
The cookies are just good as everyone says. I got them warm so they didn’t break apart easily yet the cookie was soft, easy to bite into, chocolate melted in the best way. A jar is $20 but you can get a cup for $9 and they also serve milk to dip the cookies into. They seem to…
This year (2025), I was trully disappointed. Usually, they fill the cookie bucket all the way up where it's overflowing but they did not even fill it up to the brim. I waited in line and paid the increased price this year ($20) and they failed to provide me the service I look…
