Makeda's Cookies - Sandy Springs

Such a sweet hidden gem in Sandy Springs 🍪✨ Their famous homemade butter cookies were fresh, soft, and so flavorful. I also loved that they offered free samples before buying. The owner was incredibly warm and welcoming, and you can truly feel the love behind this place. The story honoring Makeda’s memory made the experience even more meaningful 🥹 Definitely worth finding if you love homemade desserts!

I stumbled upon this place today and im SO glad I did. The ladies working there were so friendly and sweet. I ordered banana pudding, cookies and pecan pie. Everything was delicious. The cookies were crunchy (i like it like that) but they melt in your mouth. The banana pudding is creamy goodness. The pecan pie crust and filling made me smile. Loved it and will be back when im in the area. Parking is in the parking garage (free).

I’ve been hearing about Makeda’s Cookies for years thanks to Young Dolph (RIP)always posting them, so I was excited when I found out they opened a location in Atlanta. This was my first visit and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Everything I tried was delicious, but what really stood out was the customer service. It was top tier from start to finish. The staff took time to explain the history of the company, who Makeda is, and why the brand was created. Knowing it’s a Black owned business that’s been around since 1999 made the experience even more meaningful. The butter cookie is a must try. So good. I also had the strawberry icing, lemon icing, and oatmeal icing cookies, and they were all amazing. Do not skip the banana pudding. It was bussin and cussin and worth every bite. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Atlanta.

My silly self thought I was about to call Makeda’s on Abernathy Rd. on a Sunday- and then had to laugh at myself for forgetting they’re closed on Sundays 😅. That said, let me be very clear: their goodies are SO good. I purchased a chocolate chip cookie (not pictured because my daughter devoured it immediately), a homemade butter cookie, a pack of butter cookies, and a sugar cookie. I was also given a pecan pie to try and asked to share my honest opinion. The pie was amazing- packaged beautifully and tasted like how a hug feels when you really need one. Everything was soooo good. And the customer service? Top tier. It felt like visiting my favorite auntie’s house (warm, welcoming, and full of love), and like my favorite cousins were there too. Just good vibes all around. I’m genuinely mad I can’t grab more treats to take back home with me since it’s Sunday and they’re closed, but best believe I’ll be back at Makeda’s the next time I’m in ATL. 💛
