Otis Spunkmeyer Factory Store

Even though 99.9% of the cookies made here were made and packaged for sale elsewhere, I enjoyed the 0.1% of the freshly made cookies that were diverted to the factory store for immediate sale. Honestly, it was the Bay Area’s best kept cookie secret.
I’m posting a review because I am nostalgic for what this place once offered. I also just discovered that this place closed for good back in June.
So if you’re yearning for Otis Spunkmeyer cookies, the only place to get them now are at grocery and convenience stores that sell the cookies prepackaged or frozen. What a shame, but I guess it’s a sign of the times.

I am only putting a negative rating due to the following information. Other than that Otis gets 5 stars plus for their baked goodies.
I needed to get this out to all the loyal fans of Otis Spunkmeyer’s store front in San Leandro. They are going to stop selling their baked goods to the general public. I went in yesterday to get my cookie dough fix. And there is a sign on the door that states they are closing as of June 28, 2013. THIS IS SOOO SAD!!! WHY O’ WHY are they doing this. I felt like I got punched in the stomach. I wish they would reconsider, they have some really great employee’s and of course the best cookie dough variety.
PLEASE KEEP THE STORE FRONT OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC!!!

The store was a little bit difficult to find, but when we parked in front of what appeared to be a corporate building for Otis Spunkmeyer, a woman came out, noticing we were lost, and directed us to the factory store. The people inside were very nice and were patient with us as we stared at the cookies for quite a while. I was a little skeptical at first because the cookies looked like they might be hard, but boy was I wrong! They were soft and delicious, and the guy behind the counter made it a baker’s dozen for free! On top of that, they were having a sale today and we got 20% off of our cookie dough. Overall it was great — the people were friendly, and the cookies were cheap ($ 4.50/dozen) and delicious. We will be back soon!

Finally, I was able to try all the cookies at Otis Spunkmeyer. Baked fresh daily! Yum! Brownies and bagels were great also. Nice staff, good parking, and clean restroom. Their staff break room is amazing and with a homey feel! They had pastel easter decorations ! Loved the chewy marshmallow infused cookie! They also have a box which I purchased for gift giving.

As a kid, every time I passed by this place on my way home from school, I always made sure to roll down my windows to bask in the sweet aroma of fresh baked cookies. Since then, I’ve become a major fan of this place. Super good cookies at a super cheap price sold to me by workers as sweet as their cookies.

The people here are always so super nice and sweet. I love coming by and smelling that fresh baked smell of cookies. omnomnomnom =)
They’re so generous too.
Definitely going to come by here again.

I’m a fan of the bakers dozen Spunkmeyer bag of cookies. But they go quickly on Friday afternoons, so get there before closing or face cookie disappointment.
The guy behind the counter is a hoot. He loves to chat up the customers.

I love this place.
I love the fact its cookies
I love how fresh they taste
I love how the make me feel good I love these COOKIES

Cookies for cheap! Buy cookie dough by the pound!
I’ve been eating Otis Spunkmeyer cookies since I can remember.
Now that I work right around the corner from their factory, I get the cookie jones daily.
Fortunately they have a small store front where you can get your chocolate chip cookie fix on.
I’ll drop by during lunch once a week or so and grab a few freshly baked goodies and purchase a pound or two of the frozen cookies for later.
The prices are absolutely reasonable and the selection is vast.
Head on over during the weekday ta get your chocolate double fudge, oatmeal, etc etc cookie fix on!

I’ve been meaning to come here for ages … and today we played hooky from work and treated ourselves to backyard Bay Area adventures.
Fred remembers how Otis Spunkmeyer used to sponsor his high school basketball tournaments … they are under new management now — so unfortunately a lot of that home town support is gone. Pity.
Still the factory store (once we found it after wandering into the headquarter office) is a tiny 12×12 foot space with some freshly baked cookies and danishes. I never knew they had such an assortment of flavors (about 12 – 15) and you can order it frozen or baked.
$ 3.50 per lb frozen (makes about a dozen cookies) or $ 4.50 for a dozen baked (you can mix and match).

Mmmmmmm. If you work or live in San Leandro nearby to the factory, you know exactly what smell I’m talking about!
That fresh baked armor just masks the garbage disposable site down a couple blocks, so it’s that strong (the cookies I mean) and smells amazing, gives you those butterflies in your tummy where you get all warm and flustered.
They offer over 15 variety of cookies, fresh baked, daily for you to choose from. The price is very good, I forget exactly but under 5 dollars I tell you that! They also have frozen cookie dough, as well as day old bags stuffed of cookies, bagels, bananas little things here and there. BUT COME FOR THE COOKIES FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
You shall die in happiness. There’s a parking lot out front, so no worries. It’s tucked off the curb of Catalina St, but easy access.
The lady that helped me offered great customer service, and buy a dozen get A COOKIE FREE (a bakers dozen) You might need that if you buy from the lady and you want a dozen, get it right GET A FREE COOKIE: D

$ 3.50 for a lb of cookie dough :) huge assortment of flavors too!
I love freshly baked cookies but don’t always have to make them from scratch. Makes me so happy that the factory is so close to home!
I agree with Otis — «Cookies make the world go round!»

I’ve worked down the street from the Otis factory for 11+ years now. It’s a bit dangerous I tell ya. Especially on those days when they’re baking up a storm and the wind is blowing just right. Do you know how many days I’ve gone outside to sniff the air? «Oooh…I smell oatmeal cookies… ooh, now I smell chocolate chip… wait, is that peanut butter cookies I smell??» Yeah, for serious.
The factory store has improved so much over the years. Better set up and huge selection of cookies, muffins, etc., and really affordable. I do miss the old Filipino man who used to work the store years ago because he totally reminded me of my grandpa (AND he used to hook it up and give me extra free cookies).

My aunt’s friend in Pennsylvania used to sell Otis Spunkmeyer and I would just eat the dough without even cooking it.
Terrible name. DELICIOUS cookies.

I’ve lived in San Leandro for 27 years now and I have yet to come to this place since TODAY! Crazy huh?! Everytime I passed by this place, I always told myself to come back. months and years passed and I was crazy to not come here…
Odd enough, a Unilocal review got my cookies craving going… so on lunch, i made the effort to come here and to stack up!
Oh boy thats what I did. Once I walked in, I immediately could smell the fresh baked cookies. A small little store with a cookie set-​up to the left and to other baked goods around the store.
Chocolate Chip Pecan, Smores, Double Chocolate chip, Turtle, Strawberry Shortcake, Oatmean Raisin, Butter Toffee Crunch… stacked up! I ordered 3 dozen of those and the lady was nice enough to give me a bakers dozen…$ 14 and some change for all that?! WOW! What a great buy!
what a hit! such a great lil store in the Dro! definetely coming back… once a month?

I love coming to Otis Spunkmeyer on my lunch breaks! They have a large selection of freshly baked cookies. A baker’s dozen is $ 4.25. My favorites are the white chocolate macadamia, sugar, carnival (chocolate chips/​m & m’s), and smores! The cookies here are soft and chewy.
They also carry a variety of muffins, cookie dough and other cookie packages.
They are not open on weekends so make sure you get your cookie fix before than!

You can never go wrong with freshly baked, warm, gooey, soft chocolate chip cookie. Come early because these cookies sell out fast. And only 4.25 for a dozen. They have so many different types of cookies and all of them are delicious but I’m boring so I usually stick with the chocolate chip cookies.
Tip: Since Christmas is coming, buy the frozen pre-​made dough, bake at home and hand them out to family and friends.
Another Tip: Pretend you made them from scratch =)

Some sort of tour would have been great. I only found this place when I was searching for the jelly belly tour that was near by. Otis Spunkmeyer area was huge. It seems like they had several huge buildings but only a small section for people to come in to buy cookies? The place was as big as a bathroom. They did have a huge selection of cookies. We bought milk, 12 cookies and received 1 cookie free by accident and paid 4 – 5 bucks. It was a hot day when we arrived and our first stop after a 5 hour drive. Overall the cookies were outstanding!
Fresh!
Soft!
Yummy!
Will definitely come back again!

I used to love selling these when i was in middle school. Especially the Turtle cookies, they’ve always been my favorite.
Now that i work just a short walk away, and that they have a factory store where you can buy the frozen dough, is just awesome. My mom always tends to buy them to cook here at work, but i finally gave in and bought some last week. I got 1lb each of peanut butter, choc. chip, and turtle. and man were they excellent.
They also have a special discount card, if you spend more than $ 5 you get a punch, and when you get so many, you get $ 5 of your next order! =]
I’ll be coming back as soon as my fiancé and i get off our diet at the end of this month.

Back in high school I used to help run a student store. Every morning I’d have to wake up extra early so I could get to school around 6:30 A.M. The first thing I’d do was start baking cookies.
For most high school kids this would be considered insanity, but I received satisfaction from this job because I was allowed to eat those cookies for free! Still insane you think? Going to school early for free cookies? Wait, wait… Did I mention that these were Otis Spunkmeyer cookies! Uh huh… yeah… not so insane now, am I?
The Otis Spunkmeyer Factory Store is small, remote, hole-​in-​the-​factory location that cries to me in my dreams on a regular basis. «Greg, where have you been? I miss you. Come eat my delicious cookies!» Wholesale boxes of chocolate chip, oatmeal, double chocolate, peanut buetter– you name it and Otis Spunkmeyer will deliver.
I recently had a nice conversation with one of the workers here. She filled us in on her secret recipe for making snickerdoodle cookies using their butter sugar cookie. Such a sweet lady and very helpful.
They sell all Otis Spunkmeyer products here, including muffins, cupcakes, other baked pastries and milk! They also have daily specials, and give you deeper discounts if you call in orders! I’m such a fan of the Otis Spunkmeyer factory store!
