It's officially Girl Scout cookie season, and we want to know which flavor you're most excited to stock your pantry (or freezer) with.

Driving the news: Girl Scouts of Northern California started taking online orders this week. Local troops will begin selling and delivering at in-person booths on Feb. 4.

Search the Girl Scout Cookie Finder by ZIP code for local booths, including some grocery stores and public transit locations.
You can also donate to the Care to Share program, which collects money to purchase cookies for food banks and military organizations.

The intrigue: Exploremores join the Girl Scout cookie roster for the 2026 season. The rocky road–inspired sandwich cookie features chocolate, marshmallow and toasted almond–flavored crème.

Fan favorites like Thin Mints, Samoas or Caramel deLites and Tagalongs are returning.
Cookies cost $7 per box.

Vote below so we can determine which cookie SF readers say is the best on the market.
