The warm, straight-out-of-the-oven chocolate chip cookies at Brothers & Sisters Co. are to die for, fans say. The classic cookie is perfectly balanced—not too sweet, flaky, or buttery. The shop doesn’t always offer the dessert, so make sure to call ahead or check the online menu.

Jaho Coffee Roaster & Wine Bar is famous for serving up sweet, buttery chocolate chip cookies with a plethora of chocolate chips that melt in your mouth.

Insomnia also offers vegan and gluten-free options, like the vegan double chocolate chunk cookie and vegan caramel apple pie cookie. Get a box to share with your friends, and try the signature Monster’wich, which has a scoop of ice cream sandwiched between two cookies. To top it off, Insomnia also delivers.

A single unlabeled cookie is $2.25, or it’s $9 for a stack of six beautifully wrapped cookies.

The award-winning Flour Bakery + Cafe has become a staple for those with a sweet tooth.

Cookies are $3.30 each.

A Brookline favorite, Clear Flour Bread & Bakery has been serving up authentic French, German, and Italian breads and pastries since opening in 1982.

This Iranian bakery moved over to the United States in 2017, bringing a wide selection of daily baked bread, cakes, and treats with them.

These decadent offerings boast all-natural, non-GMO ingredients.
