Newest Location Of Chip City Cookie Restaurant Opens In Hoboken, Offers Specials

HOBOKEN, NJ — The newest location of New York City-based Chip City Cookies opened in Hoboken on Friday, drawing a line of customers.

The restaurant, which has another location coming up in Montclair, said it's offering first-day specials.

On Friday, they planned to offer a free cookie to customers with any purchase, and were also serving up their cinnamon roll coffee with frosting, which they usually serve on special occasions.

The franchise began in Astoria, Queens in 2017 when childhood friends Peter Phillips and Teddy Gailas challenged each other to see who could make the best cookie.

Most recently, Chip City received a $10 million investment by Shake Shack founder Danny Meyer.

Now, Chip City is expanding for the first time out of its home market into New Jersey. Besides Hoboken and the upcoming Montclair site, locations opened in Newark and Ridgewood this year.

The shop specializes in their thick, fresh baked "core cookies" such as chocolate chip, cookies 'n' cream, and dairy-free chocolate chip. They also rotate specials like sweet potato s'mores and blueberry cheesecake.

The franchise has more than 15 locations and expects to open 40 by the end of the year.

They also deliver and offer catering, including at weddings.

Chip City Hoboken is located at 113 Washington St. and is open until 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 10 p.m. during the week.

The location is a walk of about five blocks from the Hoboken train terminal.
