Hope’s Cookies

First time trying here. Had the caramel pecan cookie and it was delicious. I wish I bought more than 2.

These cookies were so great; they were so soft, chewy, and crunchy when necessary. I tried the Butterscotch Chip and Caramel & Pecan and was very pleased with my choices. I caught them at the end of the day therefore I paid a dollar per cookie. They have lots of sweet treats that I wish I could’ve tried including chocolate covered bacon!

What can be said? These are THE best cookies at Reading Terminal! Fresh, soft, chewy, tasty! Lots of variety to choose from.

all i can say is… OOOOOO MMMMMM GGGGG! I never expect much from bakery cookies because they’re never as good as they look so i was shocked when i tasted these cookies! they are THE best cookies i’ve ever had! my husband and daughters (21 & 17) went to Reading Terminal Market for other things and passed Hopes Cookies and they looked really good. however, i was ready to be disappointed (again, bakery cookies, not so great) but we all wanted to try them. We got the peanut butter, chocolate chips, chocolate chip walnut, cranberry white chocolate and some kind of chocolate chip caramel cookie. when i say they are amazing that’s not even saying enough. they were AAAAAA-​MAZING!!! these have got to be the best cookies ever! how did i miss this place all these years and not try them??? Now i’m done because I’m hooked… diet…bye bye! All four of us were salivating at how soft, chewy, and delicious they were!!! We will be back!!! It’s been almost a week and we’re STILL talking about these cookies!!! (I disagree with one of the reviewers who say the cookies are a bit small. i think the size is perfect. they’re a little expensive but you WILL NOT get a better tasting cookie anywhere else that’s for sure!!!)

Simply excellent cookies! They have around 20 to choose from. My coworker shouldn’t have told me about their dollar cookies at the end of the day because I couldn’t control myself… and neither could my waistline. I prefer these much more than Famous 4^th cookies

Came here around 5 pm and they had their end of the day sale. All cookies are $ 1. I got the chocolate fudge, walnut chocolate chip and macadamia cookies. The chocolate fudge taste the best but all of them were good. The cookies are a bit small so I would not buy them at the original price. A cheap snack/​treat.

Wow…
You can totally tell these cookies are full of butter and sugar. Holy cow!
I came during the end of the day where they were nearing closing and rather than paying full price for cookies (by the pound), the cookies were $ 1 each. Yup, I can deal with that. I ended up getting a couple of chocolate chip cookies, and a Samoan type cookie with chocolate and coconut.
Hope Cookie’s are waaaay in the corner and can be easily missed or dismissed from the other cookie place in the Reading Terminal. They have a lot of variety of cookies and other goodies to purchase.

These the best cookies I’ve ever had. I bought them on a whim one day when I was sent on a donut run to beilers, only to find they aren’t open on mondays. I was pouting my way out of the terminal when I stumbled on this gluttonous cookie stand. I ended up buying the harvest, the chocolate dipped chocolate chip, lemon cooler, peanut butter reeses pieces dipped in chocolate and covered in more reeses (my favorite), and the turtle cookie. I couldn’t even feel guilty after eating such delicious creations!

Located near one of the entrances to the Reading Terminal Market. They have a variety of items, but the first thing you will come upon in the display is these amazing cookies! Huge variety for every taste. Fresh and delicious.
I guess it’s pretty easy for this place to get overlooked in this amazing food lovers paradise, but don’t overlook it! It will be your loss!
They are cookies and they are amazing! Go get em!!!

They have lots of unique cookies by the pound, chocolates, and various chocolate covered items.
I wanted to try some of the more unique sounding things in the display case:
— Salted chocolate caramel pecan cookie –chocolate dipped, with the chocolate sprinkled with pink Himalayan sea salt. This was probably one of the best cookies I’ve had in a while. The regular caramel pecan cookie is pretty sweet, so the salted chocolate is perfect to balance it out
— Turtle: chocolatey and gooey with caramel bits and crunchy pecans. The chocolate cookie dough isn’t overly sweet and is made with Dutch Cocoa
— Spicy chocolate covered bacon: I just had to try this. It had a nice kick, and I loved the smokiness of the bacon, but the dark chocolate didn’t quite mesh with it
The above was just under $ 4, which I thought was really reasonable.

I hate to write a review about this place because it seems like very few people actually know about it and I’d like to keep it that way.
sigh…
Earth shatteringly, mind blowing, ephemeral, epiphany inducing, ecstasy enabling rounds of pure heaven baked fresh every day lay at your feet. All you have to do is get there. Not too early, because well. you have to give them time to actually bake the cookies. Definitely worth the price. Go get them.
God help you if I’m in line and you take the last reese’s pieces cookie. That’s all I can say. I will not be held responsible for what happens to you after that.

«How many cookies are in a pound?»
«About 6 to 8.»
«Okay. I’d like two sugar, two snickerdoodles, a white cranberry, two lemon coolers, two chocolate chip, a triple chocolate. wait, what am I up to? Oh, whatever… I’d also like…»
And these are the times when credit cards are very, very bad to cart around.
You cannot go wrong with a cookie or a dozen from this little place in RTM. Nope.

Toffee cookies and the white chocolate macadamia are sooo good. I like the unexpected flavors they add to some cookies and they are decent sized, I frequent the store front just for these cookies!

Everybody goes for the fresh cookies from The Famous 4^th Street Cookie Company (which are very good), but don’t miss out on the amazing cookies at this little shop located in the back of the market.
They sell the cookies by weight ($ 10 per pound). I only got two since there are so many other things to eat in the market. We went with the Turtle Cookie, which was incredible, and the Wilbur Peanut Butter Cookie which was one of the best peanut butter cookies I’ve ever had. Filled with dark chocolate buds (?), once you bite into it you get a ton of melty, gooey chocolate. As anyone knows, that taste mixed with peanut butter is one of the greatest flavors on earth, so you must try this cookie.
In addition to the great cookies, they have a ton of other stuff, like pretzel rolls, chocolate covered bacon, nuts, popcorn, pretzels, etc. I will keep on coming back though to try more of those ridiculously good cookies, as there are still so many more to taste.

WARNING: These cookies are addicting. I’m slightly embarrassed to admit I have basically every flavor. My favorites are the chocolate chip walnut, harvest and the wilbur peanut butter. They are always soft and delicious. Perfect for when you are looking for a little treat.

The men in my fiancé’s family (ie, him and his dad) are not exactly fans of desserts/​sweets — except when it comes to cookies. They love cookies, and are very discriminating when it comes to them, especially his dad. When he loves cookies, he literally cannot stop eating them until they are gone. I know how to kill him if I ever need to (luckily for him, we have a good relationship and I’d like to keep him around for a little longer ;D).
Hope’s Cookies are THE BEST Philadelphian cookies out there in their not-​so-​humble opinion, and I honestly have to agree that they are far superior to other cookies I’ve tried around CC. Great balance of crunchy and chewy, and you can tell from the flavors that the ingredients are top notch. But the real treat are all of the available flavors. Our favorite is the White Russian, but the Caramel Pecan and Hope’s Royale are close seconds. When I studied abroad, I missed my fiancé’s birthday — but when I heard that a bunch of his close friends were going to spend the weekend with him, I sent a ginormous box of Hope’s cookies instead of a birthday cake for everyone to enjoy. Best girlfriend/​fiancé ever? At least he (and his friends) certainly said so after eating every single cookie crumb!

You think the other cookie store at Reading is good right? You gotta try hope’s cookies. It’s even better. So chewy, so soft, very sweet but it’s perfect when you have the sweet tooth, workers are polite, they take credit card, they are sold at a discounted price if you go around 4ish. This is the cookie store to go to in center city!

When I’m feeling gluttonous, I like to indulge in cookies. And Reading Terminal is a haven for cookies. This review is a long time coming, only incidentally brought to mind by a recent venture through the Market… sorry Hope, I won’t dither next time.
Hope’s offers some cookies that are just oozing with fat, butter, calories and sugary goodness. Hope never skimps on fillings. If there ever were such thing as too much filling, Hope’s may have just reached that limit.
If you order a cookie with butterscotch chips, you’ll probably end up with a cookie and half a bag of butter scotch chips. Dip this cookie in chocolate and you’ve got something so crazy and wonderful that it’s basically akin to catnip.
The PB cookies are not just ordinary — for these fat oozing delights are stuffed with chocolate chips, Reese’s Pieces and probably some other truffle or drug — I’m looking at you Wilbur.
The White Chocolate Macademia nut cookies are soft and stuffed with white chocolate chunks, whole nuts and slices therefrom — you get your protein and your sugar all in one bite.
Apparently there are pseudo healthy treats too — like oatmeal cookies stuffed with dried cranberries… but who would want such an abomination when you could anhilate your pancreas and the pancreai of every other Terminal shopper with just one bite (or 3 full cookies)?

My Fiancé and I stopped here after lunch in Reading Terminal based on Unilocal Reviews for something sweet.
The cookies were AMAZING. We each got two — both got the Wilbur’s Peanut Putter, I got the white chocolate macadamia and he, the Hope’s Royal. They were heavenly — soft — but not too soft and full of flavor. They were so fresh!
The Wilbur Peanut Butter was my absolutely fave. the best PB cookie I have ever had — the gooey chocolate surprise in the center was the perfect touch. It reminded me of a peanut butter blossom — times 10.
Diet Schmiet — treat yourself to one of these cookies if you happen to be in the area. Worth the calories/​points — whatever you count!

Any place that can make a baked good with a heath bar is my type of bakery.
Hope’s Cookies. I had originally had these cookies as my roommate used to get them shipped to her. I was pleasantly surprised to find the stand in the Reading Terminal on my most recent trip to Philly. The assortment cookies and all the different flavors! Of course, I got the heath bar one– not sickenly sweet, not super greasy… just right. Sure, you know there’s butter in it and it’s probably giving you 1000 calories… but man, that’s one good cookie.
I tried the chocolate chip one, the harvest one, and the apricot almond as well. The apricot almond one was AMAZING. My friend had ordered it… I kind of wish I could go back and get another one.
Awesome cookies. You gotta try it.
