Fans of cult-favorite bakery Cookie Good don’t have to wait for the postman anymore to satisfy their craving for a banana cream pie blondie or a Cap’n Crunch cookie. Now the formerly mail-order-only business has a shop in a 1939 brick building in Santa Monica. TV-and-film writer-cum-baker Ross Canter—who launched the business when he was out of work during the 2007 Hollywood writers’ strike—grabs your attention with off-the-wall creations like the Circus Animal cookie, a sugar cookie with the pink-frosted kiddie favorite baked inside. But the less flashy treats, like the gluten-free snickerdoodle and the Fluffernutter blondie, layered with peanut butter and marshmallow fluff, are the real stars. No matter your preference, you can watch Canter bake it through a glass partition that separates the front of the house and the kitchen—much better than waiting for snail mail to arrive.
