My first time being there. We decided to play it safe and order the half dozen classic chocolate chip cookies. These cookies just might be the best cookies I've ever had. So rich and delicious. Im just pissed off that I bought a half dozen instead of a dozen lol. Absolutely will be back. I cant wait to try the rest of their cookies.

I had high hopes for these cookies with all the wonderful reviews, but I just wasn’t wowed. The texture on most was good, except the snickerdoodle. But the taste was just… lacking. And thFor the high price, I just didn’t think they were worth it. It’s possible that it was an off day but, I think I’ve just had better cookies elsewhere. I think you’ll be especially underwhelmed if you bake as a hobby.

I had a wonderful experience visiting Red’s Scratch Bakery on Saturday, August 2, 2025. I came in craving cookies and although I also wanted to try their ice cream, I decided to save that for another visit. I sampled several of their cookies and treats, including: • Chocolate Chip • Oatmeal Raisin • Frosted Sugar Cookie • Snickerdoodle • And a chocolate brownie topped with peanut butter and fudge The chocolate in the cookies was incredibly rich, and each item I tried was enormous and clearly made from scratch. You can taste the quality and care in every bite—each cookie was absolutely delicious. Red’s doesn’t just stop at cookies—they also offer brownies, ice cream, and coffee. On the left side of the store, there’s a cozy barista station with oat milk and likely other milk alternatives. I wanted to grab a photo, but the shop started getting crowded. Heads up: This venue can get crowded fast, especially on weekends. I went around 12:50 p.m. and it wasn’t too bad at first, but a line started forming shortly after. I’ve heard that 2 p.m. is their peak time on weekends. The lobby area is pretty small, so be mindful of when you go if you want to beat the rush. Also note: Many of the cookie flavors featured on their Instagram are pre-order only. If you’re looking for something specific, it’s best to order ahead online or be prepared to wait and return later if they’re baking fresh batches. This bakery is also great for catering—perfect for events like baby showers, birthdays, bridal showers, or other special occasions. All in all, Red’s Scratch Bakery is a gem in Mooresville, and I’ll definitely be back to try their ice cream, more cookie flavors, and coffee drinks!

Of course everyone loves desert, but this place is simply above the competition. Every time we find ourselves in downtown Mooresville I try to swing by this place to crab a cookie, or 4 the last time I went. They don't have a vast selection, but the items they do have are hard to resist. They do vary their selections often, so even if you are a regular, you have an opportunity to try something new. Also, the soft-serve ice cream is quite good. They do mix up the flavors I think on a weekly interval, but more often that not, if you're looking for a colder treat, it's a great option. Just a couple of other things to note, the staff there are always friendly and happy to serve. They have introduced coffee into the mix, which I haven't tried, but given the choices, I'm confident is very good. In conclusion, always a great place to get a treat, just don't stand in line too long or you'll end up with way more than you planned!

Stopped by this cookie shop and it did not disappoint! The cookies were absolutely delicious—fresh, soft, and full of flavor. It’s hard to pick a favorite because they were all so good. The shop itself was welcoming and the staff were super friendly. You can tell they take pride in what they make. Definitely a great spot if you’re craving a sweet treat. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re nearby!
