OUR STORY

Once upon a time, in the beautiful city of Cape Town, South Africa, a young woman named Sami G had a dream. Her dream was born from her childhood memories of her grandmother’s heavenly cookies and her love for coffee. Sami longed to recreate the magic of her grandmother’s cookies and share them with the world.

It all began when Sami took a trip to America, where she discovered gourmet cookies, unlike anything she had ever tasted. She was captivated by the symphony of flavours and textures, and she knew she had found the inspiration she needed. The idea of creating a haven for cookie and coffee lovers alike took root in her heart.

Returning to South Africa, Sami embarked on a culinary adventure. With unwavering determination, she experimented tirelessly in her kitchen, perfecting the recipe for her Signature Choc-Chip Cookie. 

This mouth-watering creation, loaded with gooey chocolate, laid the foundation for what would become Cookie Co. But Sami knew South Africans deserved more than just one cookie masterpiece. So, she crafted 15 unique “supporting act” cookies, providing a variety of scrumptious choices to cater to every cookie lover’s palate.

Of course, no cookie is complete without a perfect cup of coffee. Sami turned to the experts at Simple Bru to help her create a custom roast that would compliment her gourmet cookies. Cookie Co. soon became a sanctuary for coffee aficionados and cookie enthusiasts.

Still, Sami’s sweet tooth wasn’t satisfied. She knew the ultimate dessert destination required more than just cookies and coffee. So it became her mission to find the finest Gelato, candies, and treats from around the globe, bringing a world of indulgence to South Africa.

From its humble beginnings, Cookie Co. blossomed into the sweetest destination in town, a place where memories are created and cravings are fulfilled. Today, Sami’s vision lives on, as Cookie Co. continues to captivate customers with its exquisite cookies, rich coffee, and a treasure trove of tantalising treats, making each visit a truly unforgettable experience.
