    Cookies that come in all shapes and sizes. Try their penis on a stick! Good, but nothing spectacular. Tip: Avoid going here on the weekend. There are no lines during the weekday evenings.

    Come to The Castro for the nightlife...but stay for the cookies. I can honestly say that the pecan/chocolate chip cookie is the BEST thing that's ever been put in mouth...EVER.

    Suprise your friends with the macaroon. Besides that, the cocoa cayenne is great (has a kick), as is the pretzel one and the toffee one

    Peanut Butter Milk Chocolate and White Chocolate Macadamia are the winners here. For just a small taste, the mini Almond Butter Cookies are delicious.

    Not sure why the ratings are so good (except if you get kick out of cookies in genital shape)... I found this to be a disapointment.

    So yummy! The cookies are large and hot. Their ice cream is soft serve though not regular ice cream like the sign outside says

    Crunchy on the outsides and soft in the middle. I like the pokie and white chocolate Mac nut! Sold by the pound- 5 regular cookies cost me $12.95

    The cookies are tasty but rich. I can only eat one before I'm stuffed. They're a little on the soft side...I prefer more crispy chocolate chip cookies normally but they are tasty here!

    A San Francisco institute. All the cookies are amazing, and it's nearly impossible to pick a favorite. Make it your goal to try them all.

    Getting a bunch of yesterday's cookies (3/$2) is a surefire way to make people like you. However, be prepared for the occasional hordes of high schoolers giggling over/Instagramming penis cookies

    Ignore the obvious cock cookie and try the chipotle chocolate or their coconut macaroons. Yummy.

    The undies they sell are actually women's undies, so for a guy, S=L and so on. We bought some, tried them on in the hotel, called back and exchanged for a bigger size. They tried to act a fool, tho.

    Seems to be better for funny underwear than cookies. I've never found their cookies very good except after midnight.

    Coconut dick macaroons. The thought of eating one making you blush? They have non-dick ones too. Ya puss.

    Go to Hot Cookie on Castro and Market. If you like being adventurous, get a Cocoa Cayenne. If you love macaroons and penis, get a chocolate covered penis on a stick. Oh, Castro
