Cookies as a Service™️ | Founder @ Grove Cookie Company | The B2B Cookie Company

Thanks for stopping by and welcome to the cookie madness!

My wife and I founded Grove Cookie Company in 2021 (Instagram: @grovecookiecompany).

We are the premier B2B cookie company focused solely on enhancing your professional relationships.

What started as a fun side hustle crafting small batch, soft and delicious cookies, became a fun and exciting business that quickly outgrew our home kitchen.

In 2022, we moved our operation out of our home and into our very own production facility in Tigard, Oregon.

We use quality ingredients from companies known for their ethical treatment of animals and a commitment to sustainability, like Ghirardelli & Bob's Red Mill.

We offer nationwide shipping, DoorDash delivery, and pickup.

Cookies delivered - 2021, year 1: 13,990
