Chip City’s Astoria Flagship
Chip City is the Astoria-born cookie shop that kicked off a fast-growing East Coast empire, founded in July 2017 by childhood friends Peter Phillips and Teddy Gailas after a friendly competition over who could bake the best cookie. The 34th Street location is the original flagship — where it all began — a few minutes from the 30th Avenue subway station.
The shop is known for oversized, warm, ooey-gooey cookies pulled from a deep roster of hand-crafted flavors that rotate every week, plus coffee, espresso, thinner ‘Thin Chips,’ and the viral croissant-cookie hybrid known as the Crookie. From this single Queens storefront, Chip City has grown to dozens of locations across several states with nationwide Goldbelly shipping.
What to Expect
There’s no happy hour at Chip City — it’s a cookie shop. The play is simply to catch it during opening hours (11am to midnight daily at the Astoria flagship) and grab a warm cookie off the weekly rotating menu. The late close makes it a solid after-dinner dessert stop.
The Room
A compact, counter-service cookie shop where the draw is watching big warm cookies come out from behind the counter. It’s grab-and-go focused with limited standing room, not a sit-down cafe.
