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.
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.
