About and visit notes

For generations of Missourians, especially those in the St. Louis area, Dad's Cookie Company has been synonymous with a classic, "old school" taste of home. This highly specialized establishment is far more than just a typical Bakery; it functions seamlessly as a dedicated Cookie shop, a premier Corporate gift supplier, and an expert Gift basket store. Located firmly in the 63118 zip code, Dad's is renowned for its signature product, the Original Scotch Oatmeal Cookies, which are beloved for their authentic flavor and distinctive texture.

The unique identity of Dad's Cookie Company is built upon its commitment to these core favorites and a wide array of quality baked goods. Customers often visit when seeking a true "slice of St. Louis" to share with family or send to out-of-town friends.

The focus on volume and value, noted by one customer for their "extremely cheap" pricing, ensures that customers can stock up for holidays like Thanksgiving with massive samplers, like the 5lb sampler, making large-scale sharing affordable and convenient.

Crucially, any prospective customer should understand the signature style of the product, particularly the Scotch Oatmeal Cookies, which are noted to be "crunchier than a crispy Chips Ahoy cookie." This specific, classic, crunchy texture is a key feature of the "old school" experience that defines the bakery. Customers who appreciate a firm, durable cookie, especially when paired with a glass of milk or coffee, will find this characteristic endearing. The service at Dad's is consistently rated as excellent, with staff providing samples and patiently answering all questions, further enhancing the welcoming atmosphere of this St. Louis institution.

    Old school cookie store known for their Scotch Oatmeal cookies. Service was excellent. She answered all our questions, provided samples, and got us a 5lb sampler for Thanksgiving. Looking forward to sharing a little slice of St. Louis with family.

    If you absolutely love crunchy cookies and oatmeal is your favorite flavor, this is your place. But otherwise, I’d steer clear.I’m not particularly big on either of these, and as a result I didn’t really enjoy my experience. The cookie was crunchier than a crispy Chips Ahoy cookie, and without milk, that’s just a not an enjoyable experience even for someone with a huge sweet tooth like me.These cookies are extremely cheap (3 ish dollars for a half pound if I remember correctly), so that’s definitely a plus. But it’s not enough to offset the other downsides in my eyes.

    Ahh this cookie is INCREDIBLE! My new favorites, and so reasonably priced! I purchased a bag of the oatmeal ones from Schnucks, and was so pleasantly surprised! The cookie was delightfully crunchy and had that nostalgic oatmeal cookie flavor. It’s easy to eat these up quickly! I decided to dip these cookies in my hot black tea, and it became even better if that’s even possible! It’s a great cookie for absorbing the flavor of your hot tea or coffee, and it melts in your mouth when you do so! Highly recommend this gorgeous cookie, especially if you prefer a crunchier cookie as I do, or a good dipping cookie. And finding out that dad’s cookies are STL local is the icing on an already awesome cake;)

    I visited Dad's Cookie Company a few days ago. I'd never been to the store in the 44 years I've been in St. Louis. Upon entry of course you have to have on a mask as signs are posted. Going into the establishment, my partner and I were greeted by the Staff who was a nice and cordial young woman. She asked us if we'd tasted any of there other cookies which we hadn't. She then started to give us several samples of cookies to taste. They were all good. One was a coconut flavored cookie. One was banana flavored and the other was butter flavored. They were all good crunchy cookies. We got a half pound of the traditional oatmeal and some butter flavored cookies. Let me just say, this was a bunch of cookies. I didn't realize it would be as many as it was in the half pounds nor for the price of just under $6.Looking around the store there was some awesome memorabilia including an article about the store printed years ago. I saw other snacks and goodies and cute containers for the cookies. I had no idea that you could buy the big glass cookie jar from the store as well. I love that as they give the entire experience with all senses. I included pictures of the photos and newspaper clippings as well. This was a great experience and I will pay them another visit some time soon.Getting to the establishment was easy as it's on the corner with ample street parking. I didn't feel unsafe in the area, but still don't leave valuables in the car when you go in. Take your family and enjoy as the kids will love to see all the older memorabilia. Besides who doesn't like tasty cookies that you can sample.#Tonetta #speakyourtruth
