Best cookie on earth, says Uncle Biff Ledgerwood when asked to describe his product. All the employees nod their heads in agreement and add that the cookies are made from only the best ingredients, too. This is no lie. For the past twenty years Uncle Biff and his cookie crew have been supplying Hillcrest and Pacific Beach with some of the tasty treats in San Diego. Chocolate chip, with or without nuts, is a classic choice, but the Original Killer Cookie and the variety of peanut flavored cookies are what really make you drool. The shop is simple and to the point: you walk in, you see the rows of freshly baked cookies in front of you, and you walk out happy with a few boxes in your hands. While the cookies are usually warm and soft, the service at Uncle Biffs comes with a dry sense humor. Biff and his employees like to joke around with each other, as well as their clientele, so do not start eating your dessert until you have vacated the premises (it could be a choking hazard).

Uncle Biffs is your average storefront bakery that could use a facelift but when the cookies are good enough to make the trip for, that can be overlooked. Stopped in on the way home from work about 30 minutes before closing and only 2 trays of cookies were left. Although selection was limited, still tried 5 different types of cookies and all were very good, just be sure to have milk on hand because the 3" in diameter cookies are pretty thick. You get solid cookies with plenty of chocolate chips, macadamias, butterscotch pieces, nuts, etc. At $1.25 a cookie, might as well splurge for 6 at $6.25 to get a free cookie. Buying 12 gets you 2 free cookies. "Killer cookie" is a stretch for any cookie, but Uncle Biff definitely knows how to bake cookies fit for the cookie table at any wedding or for any time when store bought cookies just won't do.
