St. Petersburg has welcomed several new cookie shops, catering to the sweet cravings of residents and visitors alike. Among these are Cookie Fueled Mama, Eat Your Words Custom Cookies, The Burg Cookie Co., and Crave Cookies & Soda, each offering unique treats and flavors.
Cookie Fueled Mama opens its doors
Cookie Fueled Mama opened on Valentine’s Day at 3021 Central Ave in St. Petersburg. This shop specializes in soft, gooey cookies with a focus on indulgent flavors. Owner Christina Malone, who is also a national Strongman competitor, has crafted cookies designed to satisfy cravings without the guilt commonly associated with indulgent desserts. The shop’s signature cookie is a chocolate chip flavor that boasts the heft of a sleeve of Oreos, containing approximately 450 calories each.
Previously, Malone’s cookies were sold at Al Lang Stadium and Tropicana Field during sporting events. The St. Pete location will offer exclusive flavors, including caffeine espresso protein balls. Moreover, the shop provides options like Red Velvet cookies and plant-based protein balls, featuring a dedicated gluten-free baking station for those with dietary restrictions. Malone’s cookies are also available for purchase at Bean Wandering Cafe in St. Pete, and the shop operates from Friday to Sunday, opening at noon until the baked goods sell out.
Eat Your Words Custom Cookies
Another rising cookie business in the area is Eat Your Words Custom Cookies, which is based in Pinellas County. It focuses on creating alphabet-shaped sugar cookies tailored for special occasions. Owner Holly Noah is planning to launch Tampa Bay Bucs logo cookies specifically for the upcoming Super Bowl, appealing to local sports fans.
The Burg Cookie Co.
The Burg Cookie Co., run by Ashlea O’Connor, provides an array of specialty items, including triple chocolate chip pound cake cookies and vegan options. O’Connor previously operated Fido’s Food Truck but has transitioned to baking at Florida Chefs Kitchen. She accepts wholesale orders and sells directly to the public, expanding her reach and product availability.
Crave Cookies & Soda to debut soon
Additionally, Crave Cookies & Soda is set to open at 5804 54th Avenue North in Kenneth City. This shop is known for offering oversized cookies and a rotating menu of flavors, which includes favorites like Peanut Butter Cup and Samoa. Each cookie will retail for $3.95, and customers can mix boxes or opt for catering services that include mini cookie packs. Apart from cookies, Crave will also feature loaded sodas, allowing customers to enjoy unique flavor combinations.
