Omg - really another cookie focused indie business?! This self proclaimed cookie monster loves to add another one to the list of local favorites like Hello Robin, Midnight Cookie, Lowrider Baking Company, and Bell's Cookie. And of course, there are many bakeries and cafes that have their own signature cookies.
Last time I was in Seattle's Madrona neighborhood was for a steak frites dinner down the street early November 2020. Visiting on 2/18/22 around 1130, I was absolutely amazed at the transformation of the businesses along 34th Avenue. Cookies with Tiffany is located across the street from one of my favorite Italian restaurants, Vendemmia to give a point of reference.
Once inside the pocket retail site, I was warmly greeted by Tiffany Lewis, herself. Her business card identifies herself as the Chief Cookie Officer and Founder. Despite being masked, you could feel the genuine warmth and enthusiasm. Definitely the cookies are baked with love! Lucky gem for the Madrona neighborhood.
I really wanted to have a lengthy convo with Tiffany, but there were others queued up behind me out on the sidewalk. I don't want to be that person holding up the line and keeping others from their cookies. So what I was able to learn is that her retail shop opened on 2/4/22. She has a production facility elsewhere where cookies are prepped with quality ingredients and baked in small batches onsite. I can see the convection oven and the speed rack with baking sheets of cooling cookies. So the display case contains guaranteed fresh cookies! Brilliant! I also saw gluten free chocolate chip and
gluten free peanut butter cookies available.
I exercised restraint and bought only half a dozen: S'more ($3.50), Toffee & Celebration ($3.25 each), and Chocolate Chip, Molasses, & Oatmeal Raisin ($3 each). Tiffany packaged the cookies with utmost care which was greatly appreciated. Transferred to an airtight container once at home, even the next day the cookies kept well.
The cookies are aromatic, fresh, and have a pleasant chew. Nothing was over the top cloyingly sweet. Whether solo or accompanied with milk, tea, or coffee...these cookies were superb! Yes, I will have to return to try other flavors like Red Velvet, Snickerdoodle, Party Animal, and Maple Doodle.
Note that part of the sales of the Celebration cookie and the S'more cookie goes towards support of Seattle Children's and Swedish Cancer Institute, respectively.
I encourage Yelpers to also check out her website and Instagram page (@cookieswithtiffany) for additional information on this business.
Highly recommended!
