Q:
How in advance do you need to order cookies?
A:
You can just walk in if you want a dozen but more than that you would have to call the shop, I hope this helps! Have a great day!

BEST COOKIES EVER!!! So fresh and delicious!! Everyone is so nice and patient with you! They really are the sweetest staff and they just make you feel so welcomed.
Cookies are always baked fresh and still taste good the next day!
The California Killer Cookies are my favorite and a must for your first time! My second favorite is the Golden Oatie. The Salted Caramel are really good especially if you have a sweet tooth! Even their classic milk chocolate chip is just amazing.
There's a parking lot In front of the store which is great!

Madison L.San Jose, CA19919Feb 20, 2024Fast service at 7:00 PM. Cookies were fresh but not warm like I hoped. If the cookies were warm I would easily give them another star.
High quality ingredients were used. Good chocolate chips.
Toffee almond was a bust. Not worth the hype. Wanted more toffee and almond and less chocolate chip.
Peanut butter was flavorful and light and airy.
Killer cookie was great. I can see why it is their most well known.
Double chocolate wasn't quite chocolatey enough.
Peanut butter chocolate was met with mixed reviews .Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0- Jan 16, 2024
Consistently delicious homemade cookies! We had a bite to eat in Mission Valley and wanted to top off the night with a yummy cookie dessert. Crumbl was an option but we love hometown Uncle Biff's Killer Cookies.
We checked Yelp and it was closing in 49mins. So we hopped on the road from our restaurant to get up the hill to Hillcrest. When we arrived, there was one other customer ordering and a good selection of cookies available. We ordered a 1/2 dozen bagged cookies:
2 PB, 2 Chocolate Peanut Butter, 2 Semi-Sweet Chocolate, and you get an extra one so 1 Almond Toffee.
On the way home we started in on the Almond Toffee and Peanut Butter cookies...DELICIOUS! This is why we love Uncle Biff's Killer Cookies because they are consistently delicious, at any hour of the day and night!
The woman who served us was super nice and customer service oriented. They have the best history poster with Uncle Biff's Owner picture up front on the wall. They also have a tribute to their family members, which is totally respectable.
You're still our FAVE Uncle Biff's Killer Cookies!Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 7Oh no 0 - Mar 13, 2024

Great cookies horrible customer service
My friend and I stopped in to get a sweet treat yesterday and unfortunately had an employee treat us as if we were bothering her
She rolled her eyes at us a few times and when we were paying she got on the phone and ignored us as we asked questions
The experience was unfriendly and unprofessional, we left feeling like we did something wrong
but the cookies were greatHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 3, 2024
This has always been my go to place for cookies for 5 plus years. I haven't been there in at least a year. I immediately noticed the cookies are not as large as they used to be. Shrinkflation hit them. They also didn't have the variety of options in the case as before. They are on the menu but not for display. I immediately felt pressured by the girl to pick or tell her what I wanted. Picked the killer cookies, chocolate chip, semi sweet chocolate chip. Took them home and they just don't taste like they used too. They're good but I feel like the ingredients have been changed or they changed brands of ingredients. I'm not sure 6 cookies are worth almost $18.00 anymore with the taste and size.

I came here to bring some treats back, as I was visiting. Cute shop in a small plaza, so parking is a bit difficult. There is street parking, but visiting on a Sunday afternoon had all the street parking filled.
Are the cookies approximately 8-9 hours after purchasing and they're still soft. Their cookies are more on the dense side. They had tons of flavors, so I got an assortment because I couldn't choose. What we got were the California Killer Cookie with nuts, California Killer Cookie without nut, Chocolate Chip Macadamia, Coconut Macadamia, Sea Salt Caramel, and Chocolate Chip Walnut. They had a deal for buying a dozen, you get one additional cookie free for around $18. I would come back if I was around the area.

Yesenia H.San Diego, CA17498271Mar 19, 2024I have recently been seeing them in Instagram and decided to try them since I was in the area.. I've gone back twice now in a week. I love the toffee and chocolate chip cookies and they are so warm and gooey.. I get the half a dozen in a box for $17.95 and I will probably continue going

Uncle Biff's is still a favorite cookie spot in San Diego. I drop by when I have a sweet tooth. Get the California Killer for their signature, but everything is a good choice.
Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Mar 5, 2011Previous reviewUncle Biff's is a favourite cookie shop of mine since when I lived in Hillcrest for several months years ago. There's a lot going on in Hillcrest, a neighborhood with a large LGBT community in San Diego, with the restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, thrift stores, shops, novelty stores, clubs, bars, etc. However, they're a daytime shop open from 8:30 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday and 11 AM to 5 PM on Saturday. Parking isn't so great in the plaza, but I walk so I don't worry about those details.
I don't know too much about Uncle Biff, but from what I know it is a family recipe from his grandmother and if I remember correctly this shop has been open for over 20 years. They specialize in cookies (as in they only make cookies) and they've had the time to perfect it. I like cookies. I like Uncle Biff's. It tastes as I remember them. Their signature cookie is the California Killer Cookie, a soft, buttery, delicious cookie with semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, pecans, and walnuts. It's amazing how you can pack all that in a cookie!
Just a run-down of all their cookies (from the website): Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chip, Double Peanut Butter, Milk Chocolate Chunk, Coconut Macadamia, White Chocolate Chunk, Unc's Chunk (Peanut Butter & Choc. Chip), Double Fudge, Golden Oatie (Oatmeal & Choc. Chip), Semi-Sweet w/ Walnuts, Semi-Sweet w/ macadamia nuts White Chocolate Macadamia, and Oatmeal Raisin/Walnuts. Years ago I have tried every single one including the brownies they have during the weekdays. In fact, I used to buy their day olds and that's how I got to try everything. Of my recent visit, I tried their coconut macadamia and it was good. I like the texture from the coconut and it was soft and buttery. I don't know how long the Almond Toffee has been out but I liked it. Of all the cookies, I'd highly recommend the California Killer Cookie with nuts.
It's $1.75 per cookie, 7 for $10.50, and 14 for $20.50 (the more you buy, the more you save). I pay this much for a good cookie and it's comparable to other gourmet cookies or ones you'll find a cafes or what not. If I wanted cheap, I'll go to a grocery store and buy a dozen that's worth 3 Uncle Biff's cookies. You can also buy cookie dough and bake at home. I never used the mail orders, but I may now that I live in Los Angeles. You could also get them packaged or in gift tins.
I like the cookie shop and it's exactly as I remember it. Glass windows allows you to see the whole place and once you're in you could see the ovens and cookies coming out fresh. You can see all their cookies on the displays. There's some seating, but you don't really linger much...just get your cookies and go! Service was just okay the day I went in. I like to be able to ask about cookies and information about the shop and seeing a good attitude about the product. The cookies are real good. My ratings are based on product, service, and ambiance. So a 4 out of 5 for this visit. - Dec 3, 2023
Uncle Biff's has some great cookies but they're definitely a splurge. A half dozen are $21.50, which is somewhat hard to justify. The chocolate chip, stuffed Oreo, and salted caramel are my favorites.
Everyone at the shop is very friendly and they do offer a sample.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
