Makeda's Homemade Cookies

Had guests that heard about the place because of Young Dolf and wanted to go. I don't find myself in this area of Memphis often other than on my way to the airport. The folks here treated us great and were very welcoming, as were the customers already in the store. The cookies were great , we got a dozen (which they give you 14) and it was about $30. They are decent size cookies. Loved the strawberry cookies, chocolate chip and the butter cookies. They made new customers out of us and we will return

Heard about Makeda's Homemade Cookies from the Young Dolph trial. Love to try this these cookies, as they say they're fire !! Support this Black Owned Business Is it possible to order Makeda's Homemade Cookies, and have them shipped?

This is a Memphis staple! The business is owned by a wonderful couple and is named in honor of their late daughter. There's a reason their cookies are so famous - they taste homemade and high-quality at the same time! We felt so welcomed and loved by the owner, and loved trying a few of the cookies. Surprisingly, our favorite was the strawberry cookie, which unfortunately I did not get a picture of before we dove in. We also tried the chocolate chip, M&M, and of course the butter cookie, which were all delicious. I recommend making a custom ice cream sandwich with 2 cookies!

My gang wanted something sweet but not necessarily some cake so we decided to make a stop here. I have to say I was a little skeptical because of the tragedy that happened here however the customer service of this black owned business totally made up for that.As soon as you stop into this business, it's almost as if you have stepped back into time. What I mean by that is the smell of baking butter hits you like a truck. That smell takes you back in time so when you were a kid and your mom was making a cake or something. That smell just brought back beautiful memories.The lady at the counter is one of the owners I think it's a mom and pop establishment. She was so welcoming to us when we entered the store. She greeted us with love. This is rare! She genuinely seemed happy to see us as if she knew us. We automatically started ordering cookies, and more cookies, and more cookies. Not only did we order cookies we also ordered sweet potato pie. I am so upset with myself that I did not get more than one slice.We wanted some peanut butter cookies as well but they didn't have any out in the display. Her husband was filling the display and we asked him did he have any in the back. He said yes I do. Eventually she asked us where we were from because she could tell we were not from Memphis. We told her we were from Atlanta. She advised that they were thinking about opening up a store here in Atlanta but in due time. We will definitely visit again if ever in Memphis. They also sell the cookies online. On the left hand side of the store there's a memorial for rapper Young Dolph who was tragically killed here at this location. I felt a wave of sadness as I view the pictures, the handwritten notes, and the flowers. God be with him.

On a recent trip to Memphis, my son and nephew had one request. They wanted to come to Makeda's Cookies not only for the cookies, but also see the Young Dolph tribute inside the store. This was one of his favorite cookie spots and unfortunately his life was taken right outside of the store as well. The store sits on the corner of a little shopping strip. Parking was easy. Customer service was ok. We got chocolate chip, peanut butter, sensual strawberry and the famous butter cookies. The cookies itself looked great and my brain was telling me they were going to be nice and soft. In reality these cookies are more on the hard side. Flavors were there, but not the texture I prefer in my cookies. It was a cool spot to check out and overall a solid stop.

Addictive, Amazing, Consistent. That's what you'll get every time you stop by at Makeda's cookies. The butter cookies crumble, dissolve as soon as they touch your tongue and you'll not remember what happens in the next 5 minutes. Once you're back from this euphoria, you'll be searching for your next cookie. Need I say more?

The customer service at this place is excellent and made me feel so welcomed, I ordered the box of 7 cookies with chocolate chip and mostly butter cookies, they were terrific and I plan on coming back next time I'm in Memphis.

Man do I love Makeda's Cookies! I have been hitting this place up for years and not once have I ever been disappointed. These are seriously the best sugar cookies in Memphis. Followed only by her daughters place downtown, but these are my favorite, and this location is super convenient for me to get to. The people that I have met with when shopping for the best damn cookies have always been super nice. I hate what happened here, happened... it did, and I was not sure if they would reopen. I am so glad that they did.One day I am going to have to venture out and get some other things besides the sugar cookies. They are like drugs though; I cannot stop thinking about them!

Sugar cookie toooo sweet, oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies are the best. Ordered to my door in DC

So I wanted to see what all the hype was about these cookies, i placed a order for the lemon butter cookies, I must say that the delivery service was prompt, yes I received my order very fast. and the cookies are are very, very good!!! I highly recommend, and I plan on being a lift time custome. Thanks Makeda's cookies..
