UNLOCK THE CAPE: Want a sweet treat? Try Cookie Co for some American-style delight

Picture a mouthwatering gourmet cookie filled with gooey chocolate about the size of both your hands connected when you try to make a circle...

Sounds like a sweet tooth with a craving that must be satisfied! Do yourself this favour and visit Cookie Co, a sweet destination on lower Bree Street in Cape Town. 

This flagship store started with the dream of reliving a series of childhood memories of the founder Sami G’s love for her grandmother's heavenly cookies and obsession with coffee.

Sparked by a trip to America, and tasting the most delicious cookies, she embarked on a culinary journey to perfect the recipes so that a haven for all cookie and coffee lovers could be established.  

There’s more! Cookie Co. is a sweet destination for a reason. Beyond your essential combination, they also offer a light breakfast and lunch menu with US-inspired options like the American hot dog, southern fried chicken burger and the most delicious toasties. It gets better! There’s also a cafe for you to sit down and indulge in all the sweet treats and they also serve a delicious selection of gelato.  

Here’s a tip: if you are looking to stock up on all your favourite international treats, Cookie Co. has you covered. They have a vast selection of goodies at the back section of the store with a different paypoint.
