Well, we run a famous Harvard Square Chocolate Tour and Jamaica Plain Vegan Chocolate Tour, so it’s safe to say we LOVE chocolate. We also love cookies! Here’s our guide to:
Best Cookies in Boston, Massachusetts
Flour (Harvard Square, Cambridge)
It’s safe to say we’ve tested all the “regulars” in the array of cookies at Flour Bakery, and they do not disappoint. On our Harvard Square Chocolate Tour, we explain the ins and outs of how the team chose the chocolate that they are sourcing for their cookies. And, they also have some incredible gluten-free cookies and those using alternative grains such as rye flour.

Niveaux Patisserie (Quincy, Boston)
We love baked goods, and on our chocolate tours as well as Quincy Presidential Food Tour we sample all kinds of treats. One of our favorite cookies is served at Niveaux Patisserie in Quincy — their mouthwatering array of indulgent treats tantalize the senses.

Hearth and Hug (Davis Square, Somerville, Massachusetts)
If you have a chance to visit Davis Square, check out this new bakery that just moved from the Boston Public Market in late 2025. Owner Natalie Hug uses Taza Chocolate in her delicious cookies – we also love her whoopie pies!

Bloc Cafe (Union Square, Somerville)
From scratch cookies just make all of the difference! We love the cookies at Bloc Cafe in Union Square, Somerville — most notably their oatmeal chocolate chip cookies which are hearty and oh-so-dippable into a hot tea or coffee.

Cutty’s (Brookline, Massachusetts)

Levain Bakery (Boston, Massachusetts)
An international favorite, we definitely enjoy the thick and filling Levain Bakery cookies that are now on Newbury Street in Boston’s Back Bay. Bet you can’t eat two, they’re so rich and fudgy and delicious!
