A Chicagoan Bakes Vegan Cookies With Jamaican Flavors For the Holidays | Eater Chicago

"Founded in 2014 by Danielle Tubbs, this small cookie business blends Jamaican-inspired flavors with personal childhood memories — think mango-coconut-lime, ginger with sweet molasses, and grapefruit-pineapple-hibiscus — and is gearing up for a big holiday season. After early requests for vegan options from friends and family, the founder chose to overhaul every recipe to be fully vegan rather than tacking a single vegan item onto the menu. She produces the cookies out of a commercial incubator kitchen and sells them online; the brand’s story is rooted in family baking traditions (rum-soaked fruit for black cakes, secret family techniques) and a desire to broaden representation and variety in the cookie market." - Ashok Selvam

Love Tubby's Taste cookies...that just happen to be Vegan! My favorite is "The Ascension Cookie," a mocha, oat, chocolate chip cookie. Best when baked, but also if you're in a pinch, I've microwaved them too for a delicious, chewy cookie in seconds! I particularly appreciate that Daniel uses coffee from Jamaica and that the coffee adds a hint of bitterness without punching you in the face with coffee flavor. I also love dark chocolate and don't like desserts to be too sweet, so these were perfect for me. I eat them not just for dessert, but also shamelessly wth coffee in the morning or a mid-day snack.

Ordered these cookies (mango, lime, coconut) for a celebratory company activation where one bag was sent to each of our leader's homes. Not only are the cookies amazingly delicious (I am not a vegan, but definitely a cookie connoisseur), but the package they arrived in was cute and all the details we requested were honored. It was also an absolute pleasure working with Danielle Tubbs who quickly shipped and easily dealt with any changes in requests. I will be ordering these again and again and am happy to have found my vegan friends some treats they can eat (that taste amazing). I will also look for these in our local markets as well as order online. Thanks Danielle!

These are my favorite cookies ever!!! Tubby's Taste cookies are a perfect combination of familiar enough flavor profiles BUT with unique Jamaican-inspired twists that bring them to a whole new level. I love that I can stock up and freeze the cookies for later. The cookie bags also make great hostess gifts.

Delicious doesn't do these cookies justice. I won a raffle at an event and got to take home the ginger molasses cookie. The bag did not last very long as my husband and I devoured it. Danielle was so nice and clearly passionate about her work, and the cookies were exceptional.

I was at the Farmers' Market in Andersonville yesterday, and I noticed one of the vendors talking very animatedly to customers about her wares, so I stepped up to hear what it was all about. It turns out that Danielle, as the vendor is called, sells vegan cookies that she bakes, using her own recipes inspired by her Jamaican heritage. Although I'm neither much of a cookie-lover nor a vegan, I had to try a few of her samples, and I think I was instantaneously converted to a vegan cookie lover because her cookies are truly delectable. I bought the chocolate cookie, which is reminiscent of a brownie in its luscious, moist, rich chocolaty chewiness. Wow, I couldn't help eating three of them on my way home. I hope Danielle will be back (she's one of the "pop-up" vendors at this market) because I can't wait to buy her other cookies. Please support a wonderfully talented baker, whose cookies are simply to die for.

Absolutely LOVE Tubby’s Taste Cookies - my favorite are Caribbean punch! I’m not vegan but love that I can share these with my vegan friends, but you’d never know they’re vegan!

Vegan where? These cookies are the bomb dot com!!!!! Be careful not to eat them all in one sitting. If you have one, you will be tempted to eat another and another. Thanks, Tubby, for blessing the world with your cookies. #Tubby’sCookieMonster

PLEASE NOTE: This was for nationwide shipping. I purchased the Complete Vegan Cookie Collection for $52.99. This came with five different flavors along with a little postcard Cheat Sheet to let you know a) which order to try the cookies in, and 2) how to preserve freshness (they'll last four months in the fridge, eight months in the freezer). Trying them according to Tubby's Taste suggestion, we had... 1. Taste of Paradise (coconut, oatmeal, cinnamon): "We like to describe this cookie as if a coconut and snickerdoodle cookie fell in love and had a baby!" These tasted exactly how you would think - like a sugar cookie was kissed with cinnamon sugar), though I thought the coconut was less noticeable. 2. Home Sweet Home (mango, coconut, lime): "Tubby's current favorite flavor including dried mango bits, coconut, and lime come together to make this cookie simply delicious!" These were my partner's favorite, he LOVED the accent of lime. I'm excited to try these again tonight, but I was too distracted to fully enjoy them because of the... 3. Caribbean Punch (grapefruit, pineapple, and hibiscus): "This pleasantly surprising cookie can be described as 'WOW! Refreshing!'" These were my favorite; and, not something I would ever order myself. Dark purple in color, I didn't think the pineapple was super noticeable, but I loved the gentle tang of grapefruit! 4. Island Spice (ginger and sweet molasses): "Folks who like ginger molasses cookies go for these all the time. They are decisive and know what they want out of life - including this cookie ;-)." Okay, this tasted like the holidays; it's a gingerbread cookie -- only soft and almost impossible to stop eating. 5. The Ascension (mocha oat chocolate chip): "A coffee and dark chocolate combo with a brownie texture. Have it early in the day for a delicious jolt of energy." Neither my partner or I liked this one at all. It was so underwhelming compared to the other four. If someone offered you one, you'd for sure *know* it was vegan (if you had a vegan cookie in the 90's you'll know exactly what I'm talking about). I wish there had been more coffee notes and maybe less of a sticky coconut oil texture. Overall: I was delightfully surprised by these boldly flavored Jamaican-inspired vegan cookies! They weren't cloyingly sweet, and the flavor profiles were so interesting. I'm excited to see if they really do hold up in the fridge/freezer (I'm gonna try to keep those Island Spice ones until December because they're genuinely the best non-gingerbread/gingerbread cookie I think I've ever had). I would totally recommend ordering these!

It's hard to find cookies that actually melt in your mouth and before you finish chewing you reach for another....Tubby's Taste cookies do just that..they are amazing!

These cookies are the best I've ever had. They trick you into thinking, "Maybe I could be a vegan?" I can't, but thankfully you don't need to be now that we have the best tasting cookies for vegans and non-vegans alike! I have bought a few subscription boxes as gifts for friends and they bring sheer joy, 100% of the time. I've actually had to make my sister swear to me she'll share the cookies and not eat them all herself. We talked about it and after lots of debate, we can't pick a favorite flavor, all are equally delicious. Tubby ships across the US so you can send these anywhere, and the flavor and softness holds up! They make wonderful gifts for friends, parties, offices, you name it!

I had the chance to try these cookies in Chicago, but moved across the country to LA and was worried I wouldn't be able to share the vegan goodness that is Tubby's Taste with anyone out here. Never fear! These delicious baked goods can be shipped in a fantastic package to you or anyone you really love or want to show appreciation for (think: your boss, your neighbors, anyone!) because even though they are vegan, they taste phenomenal. I'm not vegan, and love them all. Danielle is a wonderful baker and a fabulous person. If you want to support local businesses and eat amazing cookies, I highly recommend Tubby's Taste!

These cookies are the perfect gift or a personal treat! Friends who are not vegan love them too. It's just a darn fine cookie. We all love supporting local businesses. Her customer service is quick to answer questions are attentive. Delicious!

These cookies taste like heaven and feel like a warm hug...you can feel the love in every bite. The monthly sample box was shipped directly to our home in record time--and the dozen disappeared in one afternoon. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. Each flavor was better than the last. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and order. these. now.

Tubby's Taste is one of a kind! The first time I tried her desserts, they were so rich that I was thrown to hear they were vegan. Danielle catered my wedding and I heard several guests express the same! She is professional, dedicated, and such a talented baker who sources her ingredients ethically and wastes not. Highly recommend!
