  • How does ordering work?

    Simply choose your favorite cookie flavors and place your order online. We bake all cookies fresh to order and deliver them once a week, anywhere in South Africa. Place your order by Wednesday to receive your cookies in that week’s Friday delivery.

  • How big are the cookies?

    Each cookie is generously sized—about as big as your palm (roughly 9cm/3.5 inches across) and thick, chunky, and satisfying. Perfect for sharing… or keeping all to yourself!

  • How fresh are the cookies when they arrive?

    All cookies are baked the day before delivery and sent out immediately, so you receive them at their freshest and most delicious.
