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

2021

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.

2021 - 2022

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.

2022 - present

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? 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 Built Around It.

WHY BIG POPPA HITS DIFFERENT

✦ Crave Comes First:
Every cookie’s got a backstory. We bake memory into every bite.

✦ No Velvet Ropes:
No lists. No passwords. If you’re here, you’re invited.

✦ Culture-Led, Not Culture-Cosplay:
We don’t borrow flavor from the culture. We build flavor as culture.

✦ Cookies for Real Life
Sweet tooths, picky eaters, gluten-free goals — we’ve got a flavor for you. No judgment, just dough.

✦ Dough to Go
Storefront. Market. Delivery. Seven days a week, however you want it.

Cookies are the start. This city gave ‘em soul.

COLUMBUS MADE US CRAVE LOUDER

From Dublin to Grandview, Columbus brought us up on late-night runs, local markets, and loud flavor. This city raised our standards and our sugar tolerance.

We’re not just based here. We’re built here. You’ll catch us where the music’s on, the crowd’s hungry, and the cookie smell hits first.

Where cookies, culture, and real talk collide.
