Our Story

Tradition & Excellence Since 1976

In historic St. Charles, Charlotte Thompson began by sharing fresh-baked cookies with children visiting her dress shop.

What started at a small kitchen window soon became the town’s most beloved destination, as the irresistible aroma of fresh cookies drew crowds daily.

The friendly team of Grandma’s Cookies, a family-owned bakery since 1976, standing proudly in front of their Main Street shop in St. Charles, Missouri. The staff, wearing branded aprons, embodies the welcoming atmosphere and rich tradition of this beloved local establishment.

From our beautiful 1820 building on Main Street, we continue Grandma Charlotte’s legacy of making cookies with love and care.

Now crowned USA Today’s #1 Cookie Shop, we welcome visitors from around the world to taste the magic that started nearly 50 years ago.
