Hope’s Cookies

The Hope’s Royale cookie (macadamia nuts, coconut and chocolate pieces) is GONE!!!

Did I really eat ice cream 3 days in a row from Hope’s Cookies? Yup. No shame either! The homemade ice cream flavors were delicious. The consistency of the ice cream we the perfect combo of smooth and hard. Loved it-​clearly because I went 2 more times.
Second time I had a chipwhich aka: ice cream cookie sandwich. The cookies were so soft as they were clearly freshly baked. They offer a wide variety of cookies to choose from.
They were very busy the three times I visited. I wasn’t able to ask many questions or taste any flavors as the young worker looked stressed out!
Visit if you are craving yummy ice cream!

It would be pretty difficult to make a choice you regretted at this spot.
The cookies are super delicious and very cheap, especially for this prime location on the Main Line. My favorites are Chocolate Chip, Heath Bar Crunch and Brownie Walnut. In addition to the cookies, the ice cream is also amazing.
I also love the outdoor seating – there’s more than you realize because it also wraps around the side of the business. It’s really the perfect spot to bum around with your friends on a summer evening!
The customer service is great too. All in all, what’s not to love? Every time I order a party cookie tray, it’s always a huge hit, and locals are quick to recognize these cookies. I am one pleased customer!

This was a really easy five star review — I mean, cookies and ice cream. That’s at least four stars right there. Where Hope’s Cookies gets the fifth star is in execution: delicious homemade cookies you can purchase individually or by the dozens, and even cookie dough to take home and eat yourself (or put in the oven and actually make cookies if you’re into that sort of thing). Each flavor is better than the last — double fudge, M&M, White Russian, Carmel Pecan — it’s the toughest decision you’ll make all day. It’s definitely worth a visit for sweet tooths,

Gluten Free Cookie Price Gouging. I used to love stopping at Hope’s Cookies for gluten free chocolate chip cookies and a gluten free pizza. (The shop isn’t gluten free so you need to weigh your ROI personally).
I stopped by yesterday and ordered three bags of the gluten free cookies and did a double take at the charge — $ 7.50 a bag. I typically would enjoy a few cookies and throw them in the freezer. A quick toast and the chocolate chips literally melted in my mouth. I asked the attendant about the cost. They used to be $ 4.50 ish a bag for six cookies. At $ 7.50 a bag, I feel taken advantage of — because I have celiac disease, the owner thinks it is ok to arbitrarily raise the cost. I bake and buy gluten free. I am not aware of any food shortages that would arguably support this astronomical increase in cost. I used to go out of my way for cookies and pizza. Now — the scenario is less appealing. I can buy frozen pizza and make cookies cheaper and more accessible than Hope’s.

I love them, I grew up a little ways down the street and used to walk there as a child. I moved away and came back today and behold the heath bar cookie is still just as scrumptious as before. Although, I still prefer them warmed, it was still good at room temp.

THESE COOKIES ARE THHHHHE BEST!!! I hardly ever give a 5 star either. If you don’t like them then your taste buds are malfunctioned.

Wonderful cookies and wonderful friendly service. Their cookies are made with quality ingredients and cooked perfectly.

Rude employees. Hard cookies. Very disappointed. Ice cream was alright though.

Hope’s Cookies is the perfect place to go if you want something sweet and carby. It’s adjoined with the Peace A Pizza nearby so there’s a lot of space for a big party. I went with a bunch of the girls on the swim team (about 15 girls) and we were able to comfortably find a place to sit without any problem.
Hope’s Cookies is recommended for their ice cream cookie sandwiches, but I went for a scoop of the cookie dough ice cream in a waffle cone. Their portions are massive and you get a discount if you show your student ID. The flavors are varied. This place is very child-​friendly as their flavors are interesting and they cater to children very well.
If you’re in the mood for actual cookies, this is the place to come as well. Many students take cookies back to their dorm rooms to munch on throughout the day. If you want a warm cookie, they have a microwave right at the counter to help you satisfy your need, which is really great!
Hope’s Cookies is definitely the place to be!

It’s really a shame this business is so horrible. Their cookies are good. The staff is horrible (sorry!). They close about 30 – 60 minutes early on a regular basis. I love to have dinner at a nearby restaurant and want a cookie for dessert so I «HOPE» to come here for one. Even when they stay open for their business hours I am grossed out by their sanitary practices and LOUD rap music.
Go to Wawa for a warmed up large chocolate chip cookie for only 99 cents. Much, much better and only a few minutes drive down Lancaster Ave.

There’s nothing quite as beautiful in life as a warm, freshly made Hope’s chocolate chip cookie. The first thing you notice when you walk into Hope’s cookies is.COOKIES. COOKIES EVERYWHERE. Every kind of cookie you could ever want and ice cream and ice cream sandwiches made with cookies and cookies shaped like cupcakes and more cookies. I bought a peanut butter and m&m cookie and ate it immediately. It was warm and gooey but not falling apart in your hands (I love a cookie that breaks apart as soon as you touch it but thats more of a eating the rejects while making a batch of cookies at home experience.) I also bought a dozen cookies to take home for the parents. They’re a bit expensive (a dozen cost be a couple cents short of 20 $) but well worth it. If you’re in the Ardmore area and need a little sweet in your life please hop on over to Hope’s Cookies.

A health bar crunch cookies AND a scoop of Moose Tracks ice cream became the yummiest treat that I’ve had in a long time. A fresh baked cookie can be so heavenly good, and Hope’s Cookies doesn’t disappoint. There were so many tasty choices at Hope’s Cookies that my dad, my daughter and I each went with cookies and ice cream. My dad chose the Caramel Dulche de Leche ice cream and a Hope’s Royale cookie (macadamia nuts, coconut and chocolate pieces) and gave each a thumb’s up. I tasted his ice cream and liked it, although the cookie he kept all to himself. My daughter wanted to bring home more cookies or possibly even better, to bring home containers of the cookie dough to bake our own at home.
Hope’s Cookies shares a location with Peace a Pizza so if you want to really splurge, go for pizza and then follow up with ice cream and/​or cookies. It’s an all-​in-​one stop! Hope’s Cookies looks quaint inside and out, and it’s a nice place to stop whether you’re taking things to go or staying to enjoy your treats. Parking can be a bit tricky since there aren’t a huge number or spots, but we had no problem pulling up right in front. That might change when schools and college kids return.
If you really like your Hope’s Cookies and don’t live local (or if you want to send a gift), they will ship the cookies. We enjoyed receiving these cookies from Grandma and Grandpa who live close to the Lancaster Ave store and who shipped these treats to us. They were really good, although nothing beats coming to visit here and getting the cookies super-​fresh and with a side of ice cream!

Finally took the time to stop here on my way to King of Prussia. I find the outside of this location very cutesy and have been wanting stop here for awhile. My boyfriend’s birthday was this past weekend and he loves oatmeal raisin cookies so I decided to give Hope’s Cookies a try.
My order consisted of
2 –Oatmeal Raisin
1– M&M Delight
1– White Chocolate Macadamia Nut
1– Heath Bar Crunch
Surprisingly the Heath Bar Crunch was our favorite. Next was the oatmeal raisin, white chocolate and then the M&M. The M&M was really nothing special at all. Overall I’d definitely order the Heath Bar and Oatmeal Raisin again. The staff member I dealt with was very kind and helpful and the pricing wasn’t bad. I ended up paying like $ 6 and change.
Not bad Hope’s Cookies Not Bad

Yum! This was an old college favorite! Came here after dinner on a Saturday night and it was pretty poppin’! I got an ice cream sandwich, so I went to the cookie counter first to choose my cookies of choice. As we were deciding, the worker was so nice and helpful! He even gave us a broken cookie for free since he said he couldn’t sell it! I ended up getting the turtle and heath bar cookie. I then jumped in the ice cream line and got peanut butter cup ice cream for the sandwich. I then had to jump back into the cookie line to pay!
A lot of line jumping and crowd dodging, but a delicious result! Plus! it came out to be 3 dollars and change! For a whole ice cream sandwich!!! So cheap!

Ok the cookies are good. We went there for ice cream and the first time my family and I went the people behind the counter clearly hate their jobs and dislike people — we were all in a good mood and tried being friendly and joke around — they were having none of it! Whatever. We sat at the tables — which were dirty — ate the ice cream and left.
Second time there and the same poor unhappy staff as the last time. The next time I get the idea about buying ice cream I’ll buy some from Acme and save the money and learn to bake my own cookies.

I’m a big fan of Hope’s Cookies, they consistently provide a 4 – 5 star product. I’ve been to this location once, but I usually go to the vendor in Reading Terminal. While Famous 4^th Street may have prime real estate in RTM, I always make the trek to the back for Hope’s. I’ve ordered online several times and it’s been wonderful.
My last interaction with Hope’s left a bad taste in my mouth. I placed an order online and as instructed by the FAQ page, specified a delivery date in the special instructions box on the order form. About 30 minutes later I received an email from UPS that my order would be delivered tomorrow! I saw that it hadn’t been picked up by UPS yet so I called Hope’s to see if they could grab it before it went out. I called both numbers listed several times and they kept ringing for eternity. I sent an email and then called again and an answering machine picked up, so I left a message. I received a call from Jay about 15 minutes later. Jay informs me that he saw my calls and my email and got my message. I’ll admit overkill, but I was working against time.
Jay: «Do you not read?»
Me: «Read what?»
Jay: «I’m yelling at you, but in a nice way.»
Jay explained that right above the special instructions box on the order form it says to ignore the UPS email I will receive. I missed this little tidbit and suggested it might also be useful to add it to the frequently asked questions page where the instructions are located for shipping requests. Jay’s response, «No one reads that.»
I love cookies, but I can do without sassy customer service.
Here’s a tip, if you order and designate a date in the special instructions section, ignore the UPS email.

We have came here a few times for a late night treat. Mainly because the location is convenient. Their cookies are pretty good, but not as good as insomnia. But, I think the prices are a little better than insomnia. I really like the sugar cookie with the sprinkles and the peanut butter flavored ones. They also have some other desserts like brownies which I have yet to try. They also have ice cream, I have gotten milkshakes here a couple times and they were delicious. This location is also combined with the peace a pizza next door.

White chocolate cranberry … That was the flavor I tried today. All I ever need is just one cookie. They are that good. But during holidays, special occasions I splurge on a dozen.
Each cookie is only $ 1.26, tax included. I’ve tried almost every flavor and they are worth the price.
TIP: Parking both in front and back is tight. If you use the lot next door ensure you feed the meter or the mean twp police will ticket you within 2 minutes of your meter expiring. Happened to me last year.

If you’re getting an cookie-​ice cream sandwich, you’re making the best decision you’ll make all night. BUT, you had better know what cookies you want to make in your sandwich, otherwise its back of the line!
Like if this were a sandwich shop, they’d ask what bread, and you’d be like, «oh, lemme see, what do you have?» «oh, sourdough, wheat, white, rye.» At Hopes, its more like, «What cookies do you have?» :eye roll: «Next customer!»
I mean, I get it, I get it. The cookies are good. Have some Hopes.
