About for the love of dough
Built From Scratch. Backed by Columbus.
Cookies you remember. Culture you can taste.
These cookies don’t just taste good. They hit.
OUR STORY
What started as a quarantine side hustle with butter in the air and Biggie on the speakers turned into something way louder.
We weren’t trying to build a bakery. We were trying to make something people felt. Something crave-worthy, but deeper — cookies that brought you back and made you stay.
The first batches sold out fast. Then faster. Word got around. And suddenly we weren’t just baking for friends — we were baking for the city.
We kept it consistent. We kept it fresh. We never stopped moving.
Now it’s a storefront. A market staple. A flavor movement with a little chaos in the middle.
And through all of it, one thing hasn’t changed:
We still bake like it’s our first drop. Because it still means that much.

BIG POPPA ENERGY
Not a mascot. Not a gimmick. Poppa is the standard. Big Poppa’s the filter behind every decision we make. Would Poppa co-sign this dough? Would he approve this drop? If the answer’s no — it doesn’t leave the kitchen. He’s why our cookies come with confidence. Why our team runs tight.
Why our voice has weight. There’s no cut corners around here. If it’s not bold, it’s not Big Poppa approved. And if it’s not Poppa approved, it doesn’t get served.
Not Just What’s In the Dough — But What’s Around It.

COLUMBUS OHIO LOVE
Columbus raised us. From the Dublin Market to Grandview’s late-night cravings, this city shows up for us — and we show up for it.
We keep it fresh, fun, and familiar. But always elevated. You’ll find us wherever the energy’s right — and the people are hungry.
