Gourmet cookie lovers in Georgetown, Texas, have a new destination as Crisp & Chew, an artisan bakery focused on elevated oatmeal cookies, prepares for its official Grand Opening celebration on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, at 11:30 AM. The event, held at 1612 Williams Dr, follows a highly successful soft opening on May 7 that saw several menu items completely sell out.
The community celebration will feature an official ribbon-cutting ceremony, complimentary handcrafted cookies, refreshments, and exclusive giveaways. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience the bakery's signature menu, which has already garnered a loyal following across Georgetown, Austin, and surrounding cities.
Crisp & Chew was founded by Sarah Davis and Qudduws Ware, who started as a passion project rooted in nostalgia and comfort. The duo's mission was to put oatmeal cookies in the spotlight, beginning with small-batch baking for local farmers markets. Their early success at the Wolf Ranch Farmers Market eventually led to the establishment of a permanent storefront after nearly a year of construction, permitting, and intense recipe refinement.
"We wanted to create something that felt nostalgic but elevated," said Sarah Davis, co-founder and co-owner. "Everything we bake focuses on texture, balance, and joy. We craft crisp edges, chewy centers, and thoughtful flavors to create moments that bring people together."
The bakery is known for its rotating menu and inventive flavor profiles, offering elevated classics alongside monthly limited-edition creations. Popular items include Almond Croissant, Lemon Raspberry, Carrot Cake, Peach Cobbler, Brown Butter Double Chocolate Chip, and Cookie Butter. A fan-favorite is the Salted Caramel Creme Pie. Many monthly flavors draw inspiration from personal family traditions, with nostalgic hits like Mom's Birthday Cake and Dad's Maple Nuth becoming some of the most requested offerings.
Beyond standard cookies, the storefront specializes in handcrafted oatmeal creme pies, custom cookie cakes, cookie-crust cheesecakes, and "cookie rolls" — cinnamon roll-inspired pastries stuffed with signature cookie dough.
"Our community has truly built this alongside us," said co-owner Qudduws Ware. "From our early days at the Wolf Ranch Farmers Market to opening these storefront doors, the support has been overwhelming. We are incredibly grateful and excited to welcome everyone to our permanent home."
The grand opening highlights the bakery's growth from farmers market favorite to brick-and-mortar destination, underscoring the demand for artisan baked goods in the region. For updates and menu announcements, customers can follow Crisp & Chew on social media via Instagram and Facebook.
