Urban Cookies

Not bad good desserts for good price I came during the happy hour. The ice cream sandwich is good. Only thing is they need more staff one person during happy hour no good. Building is small and would fill up fast plus ran out of the new cupcakes pretty fast. Will def come back though might have to try the curbside

Cute little shop! We order cupcakes for gifts for our clients, and we love the cute packaging and wide assortment of flavors, and it’s an easy choice for our gluten-​free friends. Happy Hour pricing is great, too!

It smells delish in there… I wanted everything in sight! EVERYTHING! So I got:
Cookies: Milk chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, & dark chocolate walnut. OMG!!! They were so good. I inhaled them in yes, one sitting. Man, the sugar rush was worth it.
Cupcakes: Chocolate, Classic, birthday cupcake, and orange blossom. Ok, this took 2 sittings to inhale. The butter cream was so good and a LOT of it. The cupcake were moist and melt in your mouth. Absolute awesome.
I need to return to try the bars, breads, and baked donuts. SUGAR HIGH I can’t wait!

First time I had cupcakes from Urban Cookies was at an office birthday party a few more baths back. Oh my goodness. I had the gluten free and orange blossom. I was hooked from that moment. The vanilla buttercream is like nothing I have ever tasted. And same for the rose water buttercream on the orange blossom.
Since then I have been back many times and have tried every single regular flavor. My least favorite is the lemon cupcake because it is just too sweet. I cannot pick an absolute favorite but my top 3 are the orange blossom, German chocolate and brown velvet. Or maybe the carrot cake. Okay, just call it a tie. I read one review where they had a special flavor-​i think a Mexican spice cupcake? I would absolutely love to try that one. Maybe I should just go there more often? When I get married I will order wedding cupcakes from Urban Cookies.
Speaking of cookies, I haven’t tried any of their cookies! But they always have samples. One of these days I will order a cookie instead of cupcakes
One reviewer said the parking situation was bad — it really isn’t. There is plenty of parking in the back and it is one way in and one way out. It makes sense considering it is a small space and 7^th street can get really busy.
Staff is always kind, courteous and smiling. Don’t forget happy hour after 3:00 pm weekdays and Sunday 1 – 4. Everything is 50% off.
I absolutely adore this place.

Let’s try something new. Cookie or cupcake. Running specials so you have ro.keeo.foing back to see what flavors they’ve created. Father’s Day flavors coming soon. Something with root beer and did they say Guinness. Oh yeah.

Today I had the blackberry lemon donut! It was a life changing experience. It was the freshest, coolest, most satisfying donut I have ever eaten. Thank you!

WOW… Your donuts are amazing!!! I tried the Lemon Blackberry and the Chocolate Sprinkles today… DELICIOUS!!! They were very moist, flavorful, and had just the right amount of sweetness. Thank you so much for making incredible vegan and gluten free treats.
And the blonde haired gal that works there was simply delightful, too (I think it might have been Megan???)! She was very welcoming and friendly. She also gave some excellent recommendations. Overall, we had an fantastic experience and we’ll definitely be back!

I had this little spot bookmarked for sometime and finally had the opportunity to stop by with the family. After lengthy debate, our group decided on 6 cupcakes (orange blossom, birthday cake, brown velvet, chocolate, lemon, and peanut butter). The winner’s in my opinion were the orange blossom and brown velvet. The orange’s frosting was light but just right and had great flavor. The brown velvet was the best of all and to me, won based on that amazing, sweet frosting. I personally did not dig the lemon or the chocolate and would focus my attention next time on other flavors. Overall, good cupcakes with many different flavors and textures. Will be back.

So i came in because i heard about them on cupcake wars so i had to try them. The place is small and parking is way in the back and hard to get in and out of. One way in and one way out. Its cute inside and has a couple of tables outside.
I was extremely sad that i didnt like any of the flavors. except for the double chocolate… I ordered the
–Mexican chocolate– If you like chocolate and spice you will like this. Not BAD but not great either. ³⁄₅
–Orange blossom– I did not see what all the hype was with this? Tasted bland.1/5
–Double chocolate– very rich and moist, favorite out of the bunch. ⁴⁄₅
–Peanut butter chocolate– i was REALLY hoping to like this. sadly i was mistaken. ³⁄₅
–Lemon– just tasted like a regular vanilla cake with lemon icing? ³⁄₅
–German chocolate– the worst out of the bunch. For starters i found plastic in the middle of my cupcake. and to top it off it left a very bland taste in my mouth. ¹⁄₅
–Banana– This one was not bad but nothing im going to remember. ³⁄₅
To be honest these cupcakes tasted old and no flavor really. If there was any flavor it was extremely weak. I dont see what all the hype is and with the cupcakes i had it was hard for me to figure out how they won cupcake wars? Maybe i came on a bad day, but i tried a pretty good amount of flavors that seemed to all lack things. it seemed as though it was mainly the icing that was supposed to taste different because the cake was just either chocolate or vanilla nothing special. Sadly i dont think ill be back.

I love their donuts! They’re cake like and yummy, not overly sweet. I wish they had more gluten free options though.

Stopped by Urban Cookies today to fulfill my cupcake cravings. Right now they are doing a pretty cool April theme for Earth Day where they feature four «Earth» inspired cupcakes.
We ordered the Tree Top, the Brown Velvet and the infamous Orange Blossom (winner of Food Network’s Cupcake Wars).
The Tree Top’s frosting was amazing, it was a chocolate cupcake topped with chocolate buttercream, pecans, coconuts, and caramel. The frosting seriously tasted like Samoa Girl Scout cookies, which are my fave!
The Brown Velvet tasted like a standard Red Velvet cupcake and one Earth Day cupcake resembled it uncannily. The only difference is the Earth Day cupcake has a tiny Earth chocolate ball on top for a garnish, otherwise it is the exact same cupcake, (reconfirmed by the staff) which was a little disappointing both for the ED theme but also as there was nothing notable about it.
Finally the infamous Orange Blossom cupcake was airy with a touch of orange zest crunch in the frosting. The flavors were subtle and I wasn’t a huge fan of this one, fame or not, simply because the cake seemed too bland compared to the frosting.
Overall, cupcake-​wise I believe Urban Cookies focuses their creativity and attention on frosting, but should amp up their cakes. The cake portions for all three were not as moist as other notable cupcake specialty bakeries and seemed like standard vanilla and chocolate categories. For a bakery with such culinary talent, I really expected much more.

This is without a doubt THE greatest cupcake bakery I have ever tasted! Their brown velvet cupcake is the most delicious thing I’ve ever had the pleasure of devouring.
Also their manifesto for their company that hangs on the wall is super inspiring. I want to work in an environment with these kinds of values.
Well done Urban Cookies.
Well done.

After some extensive and pivotal research, it has been proven that by far Urban Cookies has the best cupcakes that I’ve ever had in AZ!
I finally caught the reaired episode of Cupcake Wars where Urban Cookies competed as Ollie Cakes. In case you haven’t seen the episode, SPOILER ALERT: They WON! That’s right! These cupcakes win wars!
A highlight is their Orange Blossom cupcake, which is really something special. It is an oil olive cake with orange zest topped with a rosewater buttercream frosting (and rose petal as many of the photos show). The cake is airy in texture from the olive oil with nice citrus and floral notes. Not your average cupcake at all! I appreciate having unique options to try along with classics like the classic, a rich chocolate cake and vanilla buttercream. Yum!
Don’t forget about the drool worthy and daydream inducing cookies that are baked here! Their signature Dark Chocolate Walnut cookie fuses massive dark chocolate chunks side by side with shreds of coconut, pieces of walnuts, and oats = AMAZING! My personal favorite might be their Pineapple Coconut cookie which is a little piece of a tropical vacation in every bite.
Urban Cookies has many gluten free and vegan options meaning that no matter what your dietary restrictions or personal preferences may be you are covered. Kind of like the dipped macaroons that are covered in dark chocolate. (They also happen to be an excellent gluten free option to sample).
With so much to try from tons of cupcakes, cookies, dessert bars, baked donuts and seasonal treats, Urban Cookies provides comforting favorites and a delicious variety of sweets that is never boring and always a delight.

I never really got what all the fuss is about for Urban Cookies up until today. I’ve had their cupcakes and cookies before and yes, they are good — but I haven’t frequent this little cookie shop enough even though I live so close.
I’ve never had their vegan donuts until this morning… My hubby went on a coffee and donut run and stopped by urban cookies for the donuts. He bought two donuts, which I assumed was one for him and one for me. Fortunately for me, he left to go to work forgetting his donut and by lunch time, both donuts were in my tummy and there wasn’t an ounce of guilt!
It was so worth it. They were delicious especially with my coffee.

if you want a dry cupcake come here. they have nice staff. This place was not my cup of tea

Gluten free doughnuts that are still a favorite in my book. I really need to stop by more often– but I been here 4 – 5 times and always satisfied with my purchase of GF goodies.

Cupcakes, cookies, and donuts! This place has them all. The decorations for the cupcake are eye-​catching and beautiful. Great photo-​op for Instagram to make your friends drool over the mouth-​watering sweets, especially the rosewater cupcake that has a rose petal elegantly placed on top. They currently have cupcakes specifically decorated for Valentine’s day displayed on the top tier. The cupcakes on the lower tier stands are cupcakes available all year round. I fell in love with the brown velvet cupcake! The frosting was a light fluff of cream cheese that melted in my mouth perfectly — just the right amount of sweetness. All the other cupcakes each had their own unique flavors equally rich and moist.
The cookies were satisfactory for me. I like my cookies soft and chewy. Their cookies ran on the hard side. I personally liked the double chocolate with sea salt, which was like a brownie rich in that chocolatey flavor. Nevertheless, get their phenomenal cupcakes! After all, they won first place on Cupcake Wars. The cupcakes evidently represent that well-​deserved title.
Service was outstanding. The worker made wonderful recommendations on the most popular cupcakes and cookies. I’ll have to try their donuts next time. Parking was easy to find as they allocate specific customer parking for Urban Cookies in a private lot 7:30a-6:30p Monday — Sunday.

Urban cookies Salted Caramel Nut Bars are TO DIE FOR. I didn’t even think I like nuts or caramel but these little treats have the perfect amount of salt to them. I also love the German chocolate cupcakes, coconut pineapple cookies and the seasonal pear shortbread. If you haven’t been here, you have to check it out!

Great variety and they have vegan options. We tried their banana bread and a sugar and cinnamon doughnut. Both were good, fresh tasting and moist, and had the perfect balance of flavors (salt, sugar, spice). The banana bread’s topping was slightly crumbly and very yummy. They also have gluten-​free options.

Best cupcake shop in Phoenix hands down! I have been almost a half dozen times and I can literally say that each time I have gone I was beyond impressed with the flavors and creations of their cupcakes. I’m not even that big of a fan of carrot cake and their carrot cake cupcake is probably one of my favorite cupcakes they have. Their cookies are also super delicious too I have only tried a few but they were super delicious! Service is always super friendly and helpful. I will continue to make this my number one cupcake shop!

Had to try this place after I found out they won cupcake wars! I got the coconut cupcake and my boyfriend got the German chocolate one. We also got the dark chocolate walnut cookie, which we thought was the best out of all three. The cupcakes were pretty good but the frosting was too fluffy and whipped for my taste. The cake itself was nice and moist though.
PSA on Sunday’s they have half off everything from 1 – 4 every Sunday

Came here for desert bar ‘Roasted Pear Shortbread’. It’s marked ‘New!’ on the website, but absent in the store, and the sales person knew nothing about it. Very disappointing.

The cupcakes were as homemade as you can get, but the coconut macaroons were by far the best! Thanks for the treats!

Urban Cookies has really opened up my eyes! I don’t even have to talk about the amazing cookies, they are absolutely delicious. Chocolate chip is my favorite, hands down. But what I really love here are the Vegan Donuts! Holy cow, I never thought vegan could be so delicious! I absolutely can’t wait to head back and try more of the vegan donuts. I would have never thought vegan desserts could taste so damn good. The donut I had didn’t taste like other traditional baked donuts I’ve had. It was so moist, like a miniature baked cake, with the perfect amount of chocolate icing! Thanks for opening my eyes to some delicious vegan treats, Wow!

I have eaten a lot of cupcakes in my lifetime from different parts of the country, and I would say we have a gem here in Phoenix. All their cupcakes and cookies are delicious. The cake, always moist then they crown it with their perfectly made frosting. My absolute favorite is the chocolate, followed by the classic. Their cookies are just as great. The dark chocolate walnut & pineapple coconut are my favorites.
Yes, I will go back over and over and over! If you want to make someone happy or you want to treat yourself to a delicious piece of baked goodness, this is the right place! Check out their happy hour on Sundays to get your fix 50% off.
Did I mention they also make the BEST pumpkin bread!

Love all the delicious desserts here. Cant come in and leave with just one thing. The nut bars always bring me back, but the cookies and cupcakes are just as enticing. I enjoy trying all the new flavors that come out for their cupcakes but I always have my fallback flavor as well, the vegan banana, yummy! My son always gets the peanutbutter cookie and it is so hard not to eat it all, just one bite he says when he shares it with me. The chocolate walnut and the pineapple coconut always have to be eaten on the drive home as well. Im lucky I make it home with anything! But those salted caramel nut bars are just to die for! My father drives all the way from Payson to get his fix. So scrumptious!

Love this place! Would have given it five-​stars, had they not stopped making the insanely delicious morning buns (which were replaced with gf donuts that aren’t much to write home about).

My company was sent a box of their cookies as a holiday gift. Their Pineapple Coconut cookie was the best cookie I’ve ever had. Yeah, Unilocal 5-​star good. I wish I had more to say, but this is it for now.

Incredibly friendly people, awesome food and a solid bent for the Green side of things. We went in here for birthday goodies for my wife and ended up dropping $ 50 on a combination of birthday decorations, cupcakes and beverages. Their coffee is awesome, and they have such a wonderful focus on quality ingredients and a decent array of gluten free items.
I’d get into what we ordered but… suffice to say… everything is good and you really can’t go wrong getting any of the items they sell!
I am actually looking forward to going back.

Cooookiiiieeeees. I am a sucker for the standard penut butter cookie, and I often wonder how many different ways I can be dissatisfied by each new place I try… but holy goodness, not this place. Crispy, chewy, penutty…
I know, i write a review and I don’t talk about something more unique? I’m a basic biscuit, deal with it.

Seeing that my original review for Urban Cookies was written in January of 2009, I think I’m way over due for an update!
Urban Cookies has grown so much over the years, and they now have so much more than just cookies on the menu. I’m still a huge fan of their cookies… particularly the Pineapple Coconut and the Oatmeal Raisin, but I’ve never had a morsel of anything from Urban Cookies that I didn’t like!
You can’t go wrong with anything at this place from the cookies and bars to the cupcakes. They now are doing a ton of seasonal selections too! Service has always been friendly and attentive in person or on the phone.
I’ve used Urban Cookies to send gifts over the years and I always get huge THANK YOUs from the recipients. This place is incredible… it’s no wonder they are celebrating their 10-​Year Anniversary this year!
Note: there are promotions and prizes involved in this anniversary — check out the Urban Cookies website for details!
Happy 10-​Year Anniversary, Urban Cookies, and cheers to many more!

Three words… Brown Velvet Cupcake.
Great selection of cupcakes, cookies always stacked high and look amazing (I’ve never met a Snickerdoodle I didn’t like), vegan donuts also look delish.
My last stop in was for a couple cupcakes for my girlfriend’s birthday. The employee that helped me wrapped the box nicely with a purple ribbon and a brown paper «Happy Birthday» tag. Clean and simple.
The shop is small but delivers big on quality and selection. Love this place.

They might have «cookies» in the name, but check out the cupcakes! Quality of everything is top notch and the innovative flavors of their cupcakes can’t be beat!
Their snickerdoodle is hands down the best in the valley. Great balance in the cinnamon sugar. Also, the cookie isn’t lardy and greasy like other places. As for cupcakes, they hooked me a while back with the cupcake they created when the Broncos were in the Super Bowl. A chocolate cupcake with marshmallow frosting piled on dipped in chocolate ganache. Still the best cupcake I’ve ever had. Other creative flavors have been surprisingly good as well: pub cheese and IPA beer, Moscow mule, gourmet corn dog. (Yeah, they really put a piece of sausage on a cupcake and made it work.)
And, every visit the staff has always been super friendly. Whoever does the hiring knows what they’re doing.

Recommended by friends I decided to check this place out. It’s a cute little mom-​and-​pop shop that specializes in local and organic product made desserts. They had a variety of cupcakes, cookies, brownies and other goodies. I tried the specialty of the day Orangeblossom with rosewater cream cupcake at half price. The consistency of the batter was much like that of a almost-starting-to-dry-hence-the-50%-off cake while the frosting was light and not as sweet — which was the good part. Sweetness was just right. It wasn’t the kind of sweet that made your teeth run a pang of hurt like another place. I am a fan of citrus so I love the flavor. However I’m not a fan of eating cake-​cake itself. So maybe the texture didn’t please the taste buds.
I also tried the milk chocolate cookie and the double chocolate cookie. They were a little bit hard where I was looking for a soft cookie to chew into. Maybe the batch I had was a batch not made from that day. I guess I’ll have to come back on a day that I know the cookies and cupcakes were baked fresh out of the oven. Overall pretty good for a local bakery.
