The Famous 4th Street Cookie Company

Damn these cookies are amazing. Bought some chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies that were out of this world. Also, I bought them around 10am and transported them back to Tampa, Fl and they were just as delicious.

Best Peanut Butter Cookies that I have ever had. I had to go back the day I was leaving to take some home with me.

Got an oatmeal raisin cookie. Was simply outstanding. It was fresh and homemade. Far from a manufactured cookie. Would definitely come back
Well we did. Got the white choc, oatmeal choc chip with walnut and choc chip walnut. Delish

I cannot get enough of these cookies! Damn! I was in Philly for the weekend and I made 2 trips to this store, can you say addictive! ! These cookies are freshly made and mouth watering! Yes, they are a bit pricey, however, they are worth the splurge. I am now back home in New York and I am so happy that i can place an online order for these cookies! Yay! I just placed an order of 1 dozen cookies which i will share with my co-​workers. …or maybe not! Sorry… not sorry! Lol!

Tried the chocolate-​dipped chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was pretty good and fresh but a bit too sugary for me. And the chocolate dip was actually not like a regular chocolate dipping sauce but was a sugary fudge. I don’t know if this fudge has a specific name, but it wasn’t like the dipping hot fudge on ice cream that becomes cold and freezes and is smooth, hard, and semi-​sweet. No, this fudge here was like actual fudge with a coarse sugary texture. That, ehh, made the cookie way too sugary.

If you like texture, get the chocolate chip w/​walnut — it’s got a nice thickness to it, inside is chewy and chocolatey. At first you contemplate sharing the guilt, but quickly change your mind following the first bite. NOM

We stopped in Reading market before heading home to CT yesterday morning. We are efficient, so I was in line getting us a coffee while my boyfriend stood in line at 4^th St. Cookie Co. getting some cookies for our road trip back to CT yesterday. One simple question baffled the young lady here. I have a coconut (no other tree nuts or peanuts) allergy, so when my boyfriend asked if there were coconut in any of the cookies, he got the glazed over eyes, deer in the headlights look.
It would be helpful if the staff knew some of the standard allergen ingredients at least like «contains tree nuts, soy, wheat, coconut, dairy etc.» I am afraid to enjoy an oatmeal cookie for fear I may have to stab myself with an epi pen.

Was in reading terminal this weekend and walked past 4^th street cookies. I remarked to my friend that even though the cookies look good they’re not so hot. But then I saw a blue and white cookie (style of a black and white cookie) and had to have it for novas ncaa win.
I assumed the blue was chocolate and the white vanilla, but when I bit into it both tasted just like pure sugar icing. The cookie was dry and bland. This cost $ 3.50 and I didn’t even finish it.
My other qualm is they sell cookies by weight. They are all almost the same size… just charge one price per cookie. I wish I just followed my own original advice, this place isn’t good. If you’re in RTM you’re better off going to termini bros, flying monkey, or any of the Amish shops if you have a hankering for something sweet.

I’m a cookie fanatic and these cookies were just okay!
I thought they were on the harder side and had a bit of a burnt taste. I would rather get cookies from Hope’s cookies which is on the other side of reading terminal!

The cookies at this place were the first thing I noticed when I entered the reading terminal market and they are right by the entrance. They looked and smelled good And oh boy do they taste good. We bought milk chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate dipped cookies and the sugar cookies. None have disappointed. So delicious.

Always wondered why my daughter asked to get her a cookie everytime we went to the reading terminal but now I know! Tried a piece of hers today and fell in love
She got the chocolate chip cookie real plain Jane but they are decent sized and soft with alittle but of crunch it’s perfect
Also there’s a selection of a bunch of different kinds of cookies that also looked great they alsooooo have chocolate dipped cookies!!!
Try it out if your around the way!

Literally melts in your mouth.
This is so good it’s the kind of treat you give someone when his grandmother dies.
Literally.
Seriously fantastic stuff.
Artery-​clogging though, I’m sure.

Famous 4^th Street Cookie Company is my favorite spot that I accidentally found. I passed it on my way to Termini Bros and when I passed it again and saw those beautifully golden brown cookies, I knew they had to be mine. Embrace your inner cookie monster.
These cookies are bit thick but they’re chewy inside and crispy on the outside. They were perfectly sweet because it didn’t make me get a sugar high after a few bites. It was the finest chocolate pecan cookie that I have ever had the pleasure of eating.
It would be a perfect five stars if they had more of a selection at that time and wasn’t so $$$ for a few cookies. After writing about these cookies though, I may be willing to shell out the extra dough.

Always fresh and chewy cookies. All of their cookie selections are delicious and always warm. They always have a batch going in and out of the ovens while I’m there. Butter almond is my fav :)

In the sea of overwhelming delicious eats that is Reading Terminal, this one stands out as my favorite dessert place. The stand is simple with displays of gigantic cookies (and I mean huge, at least double the size and twice as dense as any Insomnia cookie) of various type ranging from the classic chocolate chip, to variations with white chocolate chips and walnuts. In my experience, all of the cookies are perfectly moist, chewy, and still a little bit warm. My absolute favorite, however, is the black and white cookie: a sugar cookie dipped in delicious chocolate and vanilla icing. While they do ring at a price slightly above average (about $ 3 per cookie), I can guarantee that it’s worth every penny.

THE BEST COOKIES EVER!!! These cookies are worth every penny that you spend. I brought trays to parties and everybody wanted to know where I got them.

I dream about their black and white cookie, since I had it a couple weeks ago. It was my first time there and it won’t be my last. Even though the cookies are $ 3 each it was worth it and I can’t wait to try the other flavors.

Had a dipped chocolate chip cookie, and it was fantastic! Do not miss when visiting Philly!

The cookies were on point! I bought oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip, black & white and a chocolate chip with walnuts. My least fav was the black & white because I don’t like sugar cookies. The best one was the good olé chocolate chip.

I was able to get this cookie in Texas by ordering them. Still five star but this set of stars are for delivery. I ordered a dozen was happy with freshness and the same great taste I remembered from 2 summers ago. I will be ordering more since Philadelphia is not in the travel plans this year. (at least yet)

Best Oatmeal Raisin. Ever. I have never had another O/​R cookie that even comes close. It’s gooey, it’s chewy, it’s buttery, the raisins are plump and juicy. I’ve tried so many times to make a cookie that comes close this and have failed. This is my last stop right before I leave Philly and I take 2 dozen home. They freeze well too, thaw them on the counter and it’s just as good.

Simply the best F’n cookie I’ve ever eaten.
No. I’m serious.
I’m not even normally a sweets guy. But really, literally, actually, in truth, honestly.
The best @#$%&/cookie I have ever eaten.

My favorite cookie bakery! Soft, thick cookies that come in a wide variety of flavors. They have a great website that allows you to order and pick up your order. Although they are best eaten the same day, I’ve had them a few days later and they reheat well in the microwave. Best cookies in Philadelphia!

The best of the best. Charge by the pound and these are dense small plate sized cookies so be careful. I love that they sell milk and have multiple times had «milk and cookies» meetings with clients here. Best of just one of the things from their menu.

Love these cookies. Always fresh and gooey. The biggest problem is easily solved. Get two. You know you are going to eat one and Jones for another.
The girls move the line fast. And treat you right.

These cookies never dissapoint, no matter what time of the day you buy cookies, they are always freshly baked. Yeah they are a bit on the pricey side but worth every bit of it.

4^th Street Cookie Company is one of my favorite stops at Reading Terminal Market for two reasons. First, the cookies are always soft and fresh. Second, there are over a dozen varieties of cookies available so any cookie craving can be satisfied. I particularly like that the service is very fast so that there is rarely a wait. I’d rate it 4.5 stars.

I go out of my way to grab a cookie here when I am in Downtown Philly — if you are a cookie lover, you should do the same. OMG, these cookies were the death of me when I was staying across the street. I mean that in a good way. They are not cheap but they are worth your money as they are pretty sizable and they have great flavor combos.
I introduced some of my co-​workers to their black and white cookie and they, too, were hooked. The texture of these are solid on the outside and then almost a cakelike interior. Makes for excellent dipping in milk :)
Pro-​tip: cookies aren’t usually ready right when the market opens and they do sell out before the market closes, so plan to stop by between 10am-​2pm for maximum selection.

The white chocolate macadamia nut read AMAZING! I admit, I love this flavor but theirs were awesome!

I don’t say this aloud for the sake of not embarrassing myself or anyone in earshot or getting the feds on my case, but these cookies are the BOMB.
They’re huge. delicious. the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and fairytale baking. I always get at least one chocolate chip cookies. I made the mistake of sleeping on the white chocolate chip cookies– HUGE MISTAKE– they’re so amazing! I didn’t think I even liked white chocolate until I had this cookie, and then I realized, I haven’t had the right white chocolate. They’re chocolate chip peanut butter cookies are also good, but what do they make that isn’t amazing? I highly recommend getting your cookie with some milk. You’re getting a big ass cookie, calorie count is worthless at this point, and forget about your lactose intolerance, just get the milk too.

Famous 4^th Street Cookie Company does have really good cookies. My two favorites are the chocolate dipped chocolate chip cookie and the classic black and white. It also located in the Reading Terminal, which makes it an easier destination since there are many other great spots to visit there.
The two details that lose a star for me are they’re not on LevelUp. (Most places in the market do you this handy app). The other point of confusion is their pricing is based on weight. And because these cookies weigh more than I guesstimated, I was surprised by the total bill.

Pretty much as good as cookies get. Huge, chewy and chock full of delicious goodness. I bought a trio for myself: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip + Chocolate Chip with Walnuts. While they were all amazing, my heart lies with the Peanut Butter one. True story: I just can’t get enough of PB. If you’re in Reading Terminal Market, definitely stop by and get some of these bad boys!

I stopped by on my visit to RTM last weekend to try the famous chocolate ganache dipped chocolate chip cookie. It was about 4pm on a Sat. when I stopped by, but I didn’t encounter any trouble getting one – in fact, unlike other vendors I visited, there wasn’t a line at all.
When I received the cookie, I saw that one entire face was dipped in chocolate, rather than one half or side, as I’d envisioned (see photo). When I bit into it, the cookie was on the softer side, but it didn’t crumble, and it had more chocolate chips than an average chocolate chip cookie. The chocolate ganache dip was firm, as I expected, and helped hold the cookie together. If you like chocolate, you’ll love the flavor of this cookie, since it’s very chocolatey, due to the ganache and the extra chocolate chips!
While the cookie was quite yummy, I felt that the normal price of $ 4 was a bit steep. Had I read the other reviews, I would have known that I could have waited half an hour and gotten them at a discounted rate, since they sell out their stock 30 min. prior to closing. Also, I would have asked for a cookie that was fresh out of the oven and warm (if any), since I understand they’re best that way. Nevertheless, I’m glad I tried this unique Philly treat, since it was still delicious and gave me a great idea for what to do with chocolate ganache icing left over from cake baking!

You better buy your cookies quick or else you’re SOL! I stopped by twice towards the end of the day. The first time around I walked by since I told myself that I’d come back to grab a cookie on the way back to the airport. However, something in my head told me to go back and at least grab one now before venturing off thru Reading Terminal.
When I came back a couple mins later, there were only a handful of cookies left. WHAT?! I decided to order the chocolate dipped, chocolate chip cookie. Holy cow… I love me some chocolate, but this was too much chocolate!
I wish I would have just had a plain chocolate chip cookie! Bummer… They go quickly as the tour groups come by and they pretty much wipe the place clean. They don’t usual stay open through business hours since they tend to sell out.
Second time around, I was SOL…
Note: If you see cookies, BUY THEM!

I knew I was headed in the right direction of The Famous 4^th Street Cookie Company because I could smell the cookies as I approached the stall. Although there was no line when I went, the lady behind the counter seemed a little impatient as I decided which cookie to get. Finally decided on the double chocolate chip and chocolate chip with walnuts. These cookies are denser and pricier than I’m used to. If I remember correctly, they were $ 12/​lb, so 2 cookies were just under $ 6.
Although dense, these cookies were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Loved the chocolate chips that were used and I could taste hints of vanilla in the double chocolate chip cookie. I’m definitely a fan of these cookies. They are worth the price and live up to the hype IMO. I wish I bought more than two!
