## What is Worth Choosing
For local Orange County cookie enthusiasts, Cookie Lab OC is worth choosing primarily for its dual commitment to over-the-top indulgence and dietary inclusion. This is the place to go when your group has varied needs, ensuring no one is left out of the treat experience.
Based on customer experiences, the Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk is a top-tier recommendation. Patrons praise its perfect texture and the quality of chocolate used, suggesting it's worth the price of the premium coastal location. If you purchase one of the giant cookies, reheating it slightly is a highly recommended tip to maximize the gooey, soft-baked texture.
Beyond the standard flavors, if you follow a specific eating plan, the No Sugar Paleo cookie is a game-changer. Rarely do cookies achieve a decadent flavor profile while remaining low-carb, no-sugar, and gluten-free, let alone packing nearly 20g of grass-fed protein. For the health-conscious Californians, this specific offering eliminates the "cheat day" guilt without sacrificing sweetness.
Finally, the friendly, patient, and knowledgeable staff noted in customer reviews further enhances the experience. They are ready to answer questions about ingredients, making it simple to choose a cookie that perfectly meets your dietary needs and your sweet cravings.

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I finally had the opportunity to check out Cookie Lab today after seeing it in the beautiful Crystal Cove Shopping Center. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I noticed other people who had difficulty deciding among the various varieties of cookies and beverages. The staff was very patient with each customer who had questions about the ingredients and flavors.My selections were easy: Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Raisin. Both cookies had a very nice texture and were outstanding. I highly recommend pairing these with their organic milk selections to have the full delicious cookie experience.I was told they also have a location in the Irvine Spectrum, so more people will have access. I will definitely return and can enjoy the beautiful scenery at Crystal Cove while in the process.
November 29 · PaulWe picked up the OG, Salted Caramel Pecan, and Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk.- The OG was very mediocre, very “doughy”. The dough itself was not that great.- The Salted Caramel Pecan was sadly underwhelming and disappointing. It looks great, but the flavor wasn’t. Overly sweet, and the texture was just not it.- THE OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHUNK ON THE OTHER HAND WAS SPOT ON!! Will definitely come back for it. Loved the kind of chocolate they used, and the texture was spot on. (Highly recommended heating it up before consuming, this goes for all the other cookies but this one specifically. I think I wouldn’t have loved it as much had it not been microwaved prior to eating.)The cookies were quite pricey, but expected considering the location and surrounding neighborhood. Would come back for the oatmeal chocolate chunk only.
August 17 · seetah abanumayMy new fav cookie place!The staff was so welcoming and had such a good energy.I sampled the salted caramel cookie, which was divine. But I got the paleo sugar free cookie, and it is a game changer, it taste just as good as their other cookies! I am so happy there is finally a dessert place that has healthy options made with quality ingredients!
November 05 · Deeba FallahzadehLove that they have vegan cookies and other options for allergies that you don't often have a cookie shop. The cookies are very soft, almost under baked. They are also large enough to share. The service was fantastic and they were very kind.
July 05 · JulieWonderful; the staff is very friendly, it always has fresh bakery, and the atmosphere is welcomingI strongly recommend it
