Good Bear Cookies in Oude Stad

11/10 experience. ordered an “iced cookie latte” and to say incredible wouldn’t even begin to explain. having an entire cookie blended up into a latte is an experience everyone needs.

Nice little cafe with delicious cookies

Very cute cafe, they are fast and also very nice, they help you with everything. The cookies are very soft and tasty. Better than a well-known cookie brand from Amsterdam! I had the mango matcha; I don't always like matcha, but this one was amazing! Highly recommended!!

Super! The cookies were very tasty, even at the end of the day. The man who helped us was very friendly. The iced latte was also great! 😃☺️

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had an outstanding experience! Nicest owner ever, super clean and aesthetic inside, and delicious!

Very nice, pretty decent, no complaints, although I suppose they could've been clearer that an (extra?) Expresso shot would be an extra euro but that's ultimately fine & whatever. I really love the paper/cardboard, non-plastic, compostable drink lid.

Delicious cookies! A huge selection and nice and fresh. And exactly the right combination of crispy and soft. Highly recommended!

Excellent service from Jurriaan; getting a cookie for the first time was a success, and they even offered a delicious water and espresso. Definitely worth repeating.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 5/5 stars - Good Bear Cookies Went to Haarlem on a day trip with a friend. Saw Good Bear Cookies as we were walking in the city centre and had to try it out. I ordere the Hakuna Matcha, Dulce De Leche and Yuzu cookies: - Hakuna Matcha: Evident matcha flavour and nice addition of white chocolate and raspberry, 10/10 😍 - Yuzu: Very unique, a great combination with a sour but fitting hint of yuzu, 9/10 - Dulce De Leche: Great cookie, simple but really good, 8.5/10 The interior is nice, but it can become crowded pretty fast as there is not a lot of space. Prices are decent ranging from 3.50 to 4.50 euros a cookie. Service was great, the employees really make an effort to strike a conversation with the customers ☺️ Some of the best cookies I ever ate. Might be a bit too sweet if you do not have a sweet tooth tho.

We had an amazing time 🥰 The staff is very friendly, the drinks are lovely and the cookies are soooooo scrumptious 🤤 Can't wait until they'll start shipping 😍

We had a wonderful time, the restaurant and staff were lovely, and the cookies were out of this world. 😋 A wonderful experience, I highly recommend it! 🫶🏻

Delicious cookies! Freshly baked and really good!

It’s sometimes hard for us to find good chewy gooey cookies (not crispy) in Europe but these really hit the spot! The branding and names were so clever but more importantly, the flavors were fantastic. Would definitely recommend!

Terrible customer service. Arrogant employees who completely ignore you. And the prices are ridiculous. 5 euros for a tiny, crappy cookie that has no taste besides 1kg of sugar. I might as well get one from Albert Heijn; then I won't have to run into employees like that again.

Firstly, when I walked into the store none of the workers decided to talk to me they much rather speak with one another without addressing the ONLY costumer in the building. Secondly, I told them that my son was allergic to nuts and they offered nut free cookies. After I paid I took the first bite and realized it had nuts. Shame on you!

If you want to eat a good little cookie that's out of the ordinary, soft and melt-in-your-mouth 👌 don't hesitate, you're in the right place!

Best cookies in town. Our regular monthly day trip from Rotterdam to Haarlem hasn't been complete lately without a stop at Good Bear Cookies. The cookies are truly top-notch: fresh, soft on the inside, and full of flavor. We are also always served kindly by the guy behind the counter.

Absolutely worth trying! Excellent cookies! A wonderful and friendly staff.

The cookies are excellent ! Highly recommend this address They are all really nice and lovely Warm cookies, crunchy and melting inside

The staff were so warm and welcoming, the customer service is amazing. The cookies are cooked at perfection with a crispy exterior and a soft interior and they are all made with quality ingredients (I highly recommend the grizzly one). It’s a food stop you can’t miss if you’re visiting Haarlem.

This was the most satisfying cafe I visited during my trip to the Netherlands. The staff were incredibly friendly and made everyone feel at ease, regardless of who they were. The taste was also fantastic. I had an iced cookie latte, an iced Americano, and a pistachio cookie, and they were all delicious. I also appreciated the stylish, neat, and clean interior.

My wife, our two boys, and I were returning from a long bike ride. One of my boys spotted the shop and wanted a milkshake. So we went in for a milkshake, and after we all tried my son's vanilla milkshake (simply the best I've ever had), we ordered two more, along with a delicious iced coffee and two caramel cookies. In addition to the delicious products, the place is very beautiful, and Juriaan, the owner, is just super friendly. We can't wait to come back to Haarlem as a family and, of course, make a delicious stop at Good Bear.

The cookies are delicious and the staff is lovely! We paid 3.50€ for each cookie.

Every time I've been there, the staff has been very friendly and the cookies are always really, really nice 😋 I always take some back to Germany with me 😋😋 Thanks!

you guys are the best!! sweetest people ever :), love from your neighbours Ace & Tate 🩷🩷

Insanely good cookies, really friendly staff, cute interior. You have to stop by here if you’ll be in Haarlem. The cookie latte is also really good

Their cookies were the best and their behavior was great it made my day and I'm so happy that we found these great people thank you gave us a free cookie on top of our order amd again he was a really nice person

Great selection of different flavors.

Delicious cookies 🍪 in the heart of Haarlem! Perfectly located between Haarlem station and the Grote Markt. Highly recommended for takeaway, something different than a croissant 🥐 with coffee. ☕️ Sincerely, Hein Limmen

The love of the friendly owners is palpable in the delicious cookies they make. Deliciously moist and not too sweet, allowing the flavors to truly shine. We'll definitely be back when we're in Haarlem 😁

Excellent cookies, with lots of variety and flavors. A bit pricey, but worth it!

Last weekend I visited Good Bear Cookies and picked up five different cookies. What a delicious surprise! The cookies are absolutely delicious: a little crispy around the edges, but soft and chewy inside—just the way a good cookie should be. What struck me most was that they weren't too rich or too sweet. The flavors are perfectly balanced, making you want to take another bite (or two) without feeling guilty. A definite must-try for anyone who loves good, artisanal cookies. I'll definitely be back to try more flavors!

Stopped in today for the first time, and we will be back again! I had the white panda, my wife went for the classic chocolate chip. Both were delicious and baked to perfection. The staff member said they bake them throughout the day, so they are always fresh. Delicious cookies, friendly staff, and a cozy place to warm up. What's not to love? Also convenient location in the center, minutes from the station.

I had a delicious Hakuna matcha cookie. I'm someone who loves trying new things and is often pleasantly surprised by new flavors. This matcha cookie was one to remember for the next time I land in Haarlem from Rockanje 😄 but hey, the owner said he's busy shipping it 🤞🏼

Pricey, but very tasty. So definitely worth it!

Delicious cookies and the kindest staff and owners! They truly went above and beyond and were a highlight of our Haarlem trip. We even went to an area of Utrecht they recommended the next day and were not disappointed. Gorgeous interior as well—just a lovely spot all around! 🐻

delicious cookies with a variety of options

Cookies that transmit warmth and make you happier after every bite ♥️

The best cookies I have ever had in my life. I moved back to Haarlem and I was so excited that I was able to have easy access to these cookies again! Great service as well :)

Every time we walk past this place, my Shiba Inu becomes a certified drama queen and must go inside—like she has hee own loyalty card. I swear she digs her heels in and drags me through the door. So now, every time, I end up buying a cookie. And honestly? Worth it! delicious combinations. The cookie is so delicious that I’ve stopped pretending I’m buying it “for the dog.” My Shiba thinks she’s manipulating me… but joke’s on her—I’m the one enjoying bakery-level happiness. 10/10 would let my dog drag me in again. 🍪🐕✨

Stumbled upon this cookie shop by chance 🍪 The staff was super friendly, and we had such a lovely chat! Truly deserves every star and is definitely worth a visit 🤍✨

The cookies are fresh and delicious. An excellent selection and very helpful and friendly staff 🐻🍪

Super delicious and moist cookies, cool and diverse selection!

Nice tasty cookies, friendly owners. Visiting from Saudi Jeddah.

I found this place by accident and the bear design caught my eye. They have a nice variety of cookies, and I tried the Grizzly cookie which I really loved. Still, the viral cookie place in Amsterdam is better in my opinion, even though they only have one type of cookie and the price is about the same

Very friendly staff and super delicious homemade cookies. Highly recommended! :)

These cookies are simply a revelation! We were in Haarlem last year to see the city and came back this year just to buy more cookies. They surpassed my memory! Soft, buttery but not too greasy, and the perfect flavor combination. I even reheated one in the oven after two days as described, and it still beats every other cookie I've ever eaten by a mile!

Oh my! The cookies are so delicious. Bought 7 different flavours. So far we tried 3 and they are wonderful. The staff was nice and friendly. Everything was super clean. This will be my go to for cookies from now on!

This place is amazing! I've accidentally stumbled upon it before dinner. We hoped for some miracle that they would still be open after 8 pm, but that was unfortunately not the case. Staff were very welcoming, cookie's were great, and the selection is quite large. Been visiting Haarlem more often because of them. Would definitely recommend!

The cookies are so good here, honestly my favorite. But I went at 17:47 on Saturday and they were already closed even though it says they’re open till 18:00. Was really disappointed because I really wanted one. I’ll still come back though, because the cookies are worth it.

We came here from Utrecht for these cookies. They were all delicious. The service was excellent. We will definitely be back!

We were in Haarlem today, and I bought these cookies. Kung Fu Matcha was my absolute favorite!!! Sooooo yummy! A perfect combination of matcha dough and chocolate. We drove back to Haarlem just before the store closed (we'd already been back to Alkmaar in the meantime)...stocked up for the drive home tomorrow ;) Everything in the store is simply perfect! If you like cookies, you'll love the Good Bear cookies!

Nice spot for freshly baked cookies! Underrated spot especially compared to cookie places in Amsterdam, this one is definitely more worth it considering the freshness and amount of flavors they offer. My personal favorite is the dulce de leche flavored cookie! 🍪🧸

just buy the cookies, it's the best. And yes, any cookie but my favorite one would be the chocolate chip one!

Delicious cookies! Tried 4 and the Koda was my absolute favourite, do recommend!😋

Very tasty cookies and friendly staff

These cookies are delicious and rival any other I've ever eaten! I highly recommend them! Yum! The server spoke perfect French, too!

The cookies are truly delicious! Super fresh and the flavors are also really nice. The staff is really friendly and helpful right away. Highly recommended!

We bought two cookies from this lovely shop in the center of Haarlem and were very pleased! The value for money is excellent, especially if you buy the cookies the day before, which are half price and are still delicious. The place is clean and well-kept, and the staff is very friendly.

Nice and friendly staff, and really nice cookies! Perfectly cooked, and fun variations to choose from.

These cookies are so delicious 🤎

Sooo lovely staff!! We got free water and a sticker and the chocolate chip cookie had the perfect consistency

I admit, it's hard to impress me with sweet cookies for the simple reason that everything feels the same to me. At least that's what I thought until I came across this lovely place. This shop offers cookies that are second to none. There is a selection of surprising flavors and combinations, a kind staff that will show maximum patience with you, explain and adjust the taste so that you will be as satisfied as possible. In addition, I was honored to be the first purchaser of the new T-shirt collection from which 5 euros were donated to save bears in Germany. I'm sure I'll be back here again and this is also an opportunity to thank the wonderful team that works there and takes care of the highest level of customer experience down to the smallest details! Lots of success in the future!

These Cookies are worth it that you travel from however you are to try them. And not even the Cookies, also the Owners are 10/10! Dearest greetings from Switzerland <3

Best cookies in the area, and the staff is always so friendly!

A definite recommendation. The service is top-notch, and everyone is dog-friendly, with water available outside. The cookies taste amazing; everyone should try them.

Best cookies I've had in the world

Similar to other disappointing cookies in the NL, the base batter doesn't use vanilla or a mix of white and dark brown sugar (or if they do it's in undetectable amounts). This leaves a cookie that tastes only of butter, flour, and sugar; no depth of flavor outside of the add-ins. Decent texture if you like a bit softer cookies, and on the plus side they use good chocolate and have a nice variety of flavors. I suggest less focus on marketing gimmicks and more on the cookie itself.

The owner really knows what she is doing. Attention to detail, quality ingredients and love for the cookies. Blue bear, Grizzli & koda are a must try. Best cookies in the galaxy!

Best cookies ever!!! 😋🥰❤️ Wow - once you have tried these delicious cookies, you will never want anything else again! We are super picky when it comes to eating sweets as we try to eat as little sugar as possible. So when we make an exception, it must be really worth it. The good bear cookies are totally worth it! 🙌 They are that good, that I am happy to drive an hour just to get some cookies as we don’t live nearby! 😃 you can tell that these cookies are made with high quality ingredients and love! 🫶 They are not too sweet and there is so much variety that we pick different flavours every time we go! What makes these cookies unique is the perfect balance between the outer crunch with a gooey, buttery inner texture. Even days after buying them, they are still delicious! We also love popping them in the oven to warm them up again and enjoy the amazing melted high quality chocolate. 😋 last but not least, the shop is centrally located, always really clean, and the people are super friendly!!! 🙏❤️🤗

We always get cookies here for our daughters. The owners are so friendly. And the cookies are delicious!

What a party these cookies, discovered for the first time. Had a nice chat with the owner. Nice to see that they have so much passion for their products. Next time we are in Haarlem we will definitely come back 😋

Cookies are truly phenomenal! Teddy is a favorite. You can taste that the ingredients are fresh and of quality. The store is nicely decorated. Location is very central. Price is absolutely fine for the quality you get. The owner was also very friendly!

Best cookies ever! 🍪 everyone is very kind and the cookies always fresh!

Just warmed up the cookie I bought from here yesterday, it's super delicious!!. I got the dark chocolate one I think? It was the last pieces because I bought it near closing time. Definitely will buy again and try the other flavours! The guy who baked and sold it was also lovely and nice 😄

I am not a big cookie fun but my wife told me these are 10/10 cookies. However, the gentleman in the store gave us a great experience: thoughtful and helpful approach yet giving us space to browse, etc

Unique facade building in Harlem the facade refers to the bridge and its steepness

Amazing place, with a great environment, everyone there is super nice and I love the people especially that tall English guy. The cookies are also amazing all the time 😍

Delicious cookies and friendly staff!

Very very very tasty cookies made from the best ingredients and with love. Large selection of light, brown and green cookies with different combinations of chocolate, nuts and fruit - every cookie looks delicious and tastes sensationally good! The cookies last up to 6 days in the fridge and are delicious both iced and hot - depending on how you want the chocolate, either crispy cold or melted, liquidy warm. The service in the shop is very friendly and sells the cookies like gold with a lot of passion.

Nice family business. Delicious cookies and nice staff. Recommended if you are in Haarlem.

Topper behind the counter, go and see him. Bizarrely delicious cookies, definitely worth it.

The best cookies you’ll ever taste! They’re the perfect balance of airy, soft, and just the right amount of crunch—every bite is pure bliss. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients because the flavor is incredible. The price is great for the quality you get. Plus, the owners are not only super nice but also clearly know their stuff when it comes to baking. A must-visit place in Haarlem and hopefully they open in other cities!

We had two cookies which were excellent. There were more than ten possible varieties. The waitress was very nice.

Best cookies in the city and the owners are just delight.

Very nice discovery made by chance in the streets of Haarlem. The cookies are simply delicious and sold at a reasonable price. Very friendly staff as well.

Probably one of the best cookies I've ever eaten in my life! The staff is friendly and the hardest part was choosing between the different cookies 🙂‍↕️

I was really looking forward to trying these cookies, but I’m sorry to say that they weren’t quite to my taste. I tried the Yuzu Kuma, Hakuna Matcha, Blue Bear, and Grizzli. The Yuzu Kuma had a very strong lemony sugary flavor, and I couldn’t eat more than half. As a dark chocolate fan, I found the Grizzli a bit disappointing, as the dark chocolate flavor didn’t come through as much as I had hoped. The Hakuna Matcha and Blue Bear were okay, but nothing particularly stood out to me. The cookies were also too pricey for the taste. I truly wanted to like them, but unfortunately, they weren’t for me. I was hoping to try Kodo as well, but it was sold out—perhaps that one would have been more to my liking. Thank you for the effort that goes into these creations and for a warm service!

In the cozy city centre of Haarlem you must stop at good bear cookies. Very sweet people who make delicious cookies. Everything is spotclean and there is a great atmosphere.

Best cookies in the Netherlands! We go to Haarlem especially for the cookies. You can tell that the owner and staff have a passion for what they do and you can taste it!

So good cookies and the vibe is immaculate

Super tasty cookies and it is a clean store. Lots of choice of different cookies and a cute bear sitting outside waving at you :)

Great place, the cookies are phenomenal and the whole atmosphere in the place is great.

The cookies are the best cookies I've ever had and the staff are so nice and make you feel very welcome. I think the person serving me was some boys called Adam and Jack and they were extremely nice to me and recommended some great cookies.

I discovered this cookie shop and honestly, it’s a real gem! The cookies are super good, very soft on the inside and slightly crunchy on the outside. You really feel that everything is done with care. Plus, there are lots of different flavors to try. The welcome is super friendly and the atmosphere of the store makes you want to sit there and savor every bite. If you like cookies, this is the place not to be missed! A real treat!

Great cookies friendly employees

Service 10/10, Cookies 20/10, Experience 100/10

The tastiest Cookies in the Netherlands! Many types that are difficult for me to choose between. Do you want to try super delicious cookies? Don't travel to Paris. Come to Haarlem.

very friendly staff, quality and good cookie.🫶

One of the best cookies in all of the Netherlands. From their high quality ingredients, to friendly service, and nicely decorated bakery. Highly recommend Good Bear cookies!
