Cookie Plug sets itself apart from other fresh-baked cookie companies as one that focuses on not just great taste but also graffiti, street art and hip-hop culture. As Cookie Plug Founder Erik Martinez says, "Cookies aren't hard to find but there is nothing cookie cutter about Cookie Plug."
The brand's extra-thick cookies, called "phatties" are freshly baked daily at every location and fans frequent Cookie Plug's 30+ locations for flavors like SnooperDoodle (snickerdoodle), Pixie Junkie (sugar cookie) and Purple Haze (purple velvet.) With carb-friendly and keto-friendly options, there's something for everyone, especially since the cookies are 100% kid-friendly and ready to be enjoyed by the whole family.
Each location stands out with a colorful street art interior and rap music, distinguishing Cookie Plug from the average sleepy bakery.
