A solid cookie

Maya's is a regular presence at vegan food fairs/markets. The chocolate chip cookie I got was very good. I wouldn't go out of my way, but would definitely try other flavors if I see their booth and have a craving.

The best cookies!

Back in April we visited Maya's stand at the Pacific Beach farmer's market and got to meet Maya herself! We weren't able to try all flavors, but the ones we had were incredible, especially s'mores. Whenever we find ourselves missing these delicious cookies in Philadelphia we have a variety shipped.

Yum!!

These cookies are massive and they are incredibly flavorful! I had the “everything” cookie, it was true to its name, it had all the flavors you could want in a cookie! I’ve had cookies like this before and they were too salty for me, but this one was the perfect well rounded flavor profile! Delicious!

Also, we got them at the Little Italy farmers market and the vegan second Saturday farmers market in north park. I had no idea they had a brick and mortar. I’m excited to try their ice cream!

Mouthwatering cookies

Wonderful to be able to shop for tasty Maya's Cookies at the bakeshop. As good as they are when enjoyed via mail order, these are even more delicious. Freshly baked. Menu changes daily.
Bought an assortment of the day's flavors. Two specials for Juneteenth. The 'MVP' honoring Magic Johnson, luscious chocolate, coconut, pecan cookie, reminiscent of the magic cookie bars, yet better. The 'grand slam' honoring Serena Williams, chocolate goodness. The wheat free option of the day was the 'drunken grandma,' delightful oatmeal raisin like grandma would make.
Large cookies, soft, yet not mushy. Good crumbly texture.
Soft serve machine wasn't working, so didn't get to try it.
In person pricing more reasonable than mail order, of course.
Woman owned business.

Pros: 100% vegan, delicious cookies , Large, flavorful, great texture, Mail order available

Scrumptious!

Holy moly, just got a chance to try Maya’s at the Santa Cruz VegFest & it was incredible! I had the Everything Cookie & it was definitely everything & more! For some reason the app won’t let me post a picture.

Survived a flight!

My friend got me a half dozen cookies while in SD and surprised me with them! They survived the whole day and a flight back to Monterey. These cookies are SO delicious and I’m so happy I was finally able to try them! Large size as well which is a huge plus!
The iced sugar cookies is an absolute MUST!

Best Cookies. Ever.

I can’t believe I have never written a review for Maya’s. I have been in love with their cookies since moving to San Diego. They are almost always at the Hillcrest Farmers Market, and I treated myself to a subscription box a few months ago. Even the cookies from the subscription box are fresh and would make a wonderful gift for someone else (or, as I mentioned, yourself)! The cookies are soft, chewy, and absolutely delicious. There are many amazing flavors (including seasonal ones), and I love that it is Black-owned.

There are no cons about these cookies; I have given them to my non-veg family and friends and have all agreed they are simply delicious cookies. They have a brown sugar butterscotch cookie that is so good. I think it’s my all-time favorite cookie.

Treat yourself and try Maya’s!

Famous cookies for a reason

Had their cookies during San Diego Vegan Festival and they live up to the hype!!! I tried their famous smores cookie, chocolate chip cookie, lemon chiffon cookie, and white chocolate macadamia cookie. Out of the 4, my favorite was probably the lemon chiffon but I would be happy having any of them again!

Soft serve and cookies

What a great combo. Oately soft serve was delicious. Enjoyed the cookies as well, not quite as soft as I hoped for but still very good. So many flavors to choose from. Staff was super friendly!

Yum!

I was gifted the Classic Holiday Collection tin by a family member and all four flavors were great! My favorite was probably the sugar cookie as it was perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Would definitely recommend to vegans and non-vegans!

Fun birthday treat

I received a birthday cookie box in the mail and it made for a great surprise. The cookies came in a cute little tin which made for a cute presentation. The cookies were amazing and I can wait to try the other flavors!

SO SO SO GOOD!!

I bought two of their cookies yesterday in Long Beach at a small vegan event. My favorite was the classic chocolate chip but I also loved the marble fudge.

I hope that they will open more storefronts so more people can taste their delish cookies. They do offer shipping also (as of July 2021, shipping from San Diego to the Los Angeles area is $10.00).

Pros: Delish

The Best Cookies in San Diego

Without reservation I'd recommend Maya's Cookies to anyone, vegan or not. My personal favorite is the Birthday Cake, a sugar cookie covered in crunch rainbow sprinkles. Chocolate chip cookie dough can be ordered ahead for pick up as well. Her end of the year gingerbread cookies are not to missed.

Pros: All vegan
