Great News! Downtown Houston will grow sweeter this fall when we open our second location in Houston’s Pennzoil Tower! We will be located at tunnel level with easy access to street level. The shop will open in late October.
This second sweet spot will feature all the same delectable "chef-prepared" all-butter cookie creations Houstonians have grown to love over the years – classic soft-baked Americana cookies, decorated cut-outs, biscotti, fancy tea cookies, and mouth-watering dessert bars. Fresh beverages and local collaborations, including Chocolate Pizazz and Fat Cat Creamery “Ice Cream Sammies,” will also be available for purchase.
Like the flagship Weslayan location, our downtown shop will offer delivery to businesses in the area, but downtown employees will be encouraged to stretch their legs and step outside the office for a tunnel walk and a sweet treat. We will also offer dessert catering for business affairs, birthday celebrations and employee events.
We've been a long time supporter of the local community from our charitable contributions to local schools and business partnerships with favorite local businesses like Sundance Cinemas, Agora Coffee House, Inversion Coffee House, and Spec’s Liquor House on Smith Street. You can also find our vegan cookies on board some of Houston’s beloved food trucks, like Monster PBJ.
One of the best kept secrets is that we offer vegan cookies, sugar-free cookies and gluten-free cookies. Once the new store opens, these items will be readily available to meet modern-day demands.
Our soon-to-be second location is a direct product of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program, where in we crafted a business growth plan during an intensive 10-week program. The mission of the program is to increase sales and increase employment. We will do both! As such, we are hiring customer service people, delivery people, a store manager and pastry cooks. Full-time and part-time positions are available. We've worked with many students over the years and are happy to work with their sometimes erratic schedule needs. Click here for an application.
Stay tuned to this blog for further developments!

Congratulations Michael! What a great location, you will be busy! I would also suggest you offer breakfast items like scones and cinnamon rolls for the breakfast crowd walking through the tunnels as they head to work.
I wish you much continued success!

Thanks Claudia. I would love to do this in the future.
