Gourmet cookie lovers in Georgetown, Texas, have a new destination as Crisp & Chew, an artisan bakery specializing in elevated oatmeal cookies, announces 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 grand opening will feature an official ribbon-cutting ceremony, complimentary handcrafted cookies, refreshments, and exclusive giveaways, allowing attendees to experience the bakery’s signature menu firsthand. Founded by Sarah Davis and Qudduws Ware, Crisp & Chew began as a passion project at local farmers markets and quickly built a loyal following across Georgetown, Austin, and surrounding cities.
“We wanted to create something that felt nostalgic but elevated,” said Davis. “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 such as Almond Croissant, Lemon Raspberry, Carrot Cake, Peach Cobbler, Brown Butter Double Chocolate Chip, Cookie Butter, and the fan-favorite Salted Caramel Creme Pies. Many monthly flavors draw inspiration from personal family traditions, with nostalgic hits like Mom’s Birthday Cake and Dad’s Maple Nut 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. The new storefront represents an almost year-long journey of construction, permitting, and intense recipe refinement, with local support anchoring the business every step of the way.
“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 event is scheduled for Tuesday, June 16, 2026, at 11:30 AM at 1612 Williams Dr, Georgetown, TX. Highlights include a ribbon cutting, free cookies, drinks, and prize giveaways. Crisp & Chew’s soft open hours are Thursday-Friday from 12 PM to 6 PM and Saturday from 12 PM to 5 PM.

The opening of a dedicated storefront marks a significant step for the bakery, which has grown from a farmers market stall to a brick-and-mortar location. For business and technology leaders, this expansion highlights the power of community-driven growth and the value of niche product differentiation in the food industry. As consumers increasingly seek artisanal, locally sourced treats, Crisp & Chew’s success offers insights into how small businesses can leverage social media and local partnerships to build a loyal customer base.
