The Project
Since 2020, we've been baking up a storm and selling our goodies online, at local markets, and at big events. Now, we’ve got our eyes set on a charming high street shop where we can welcome all our amazing customers. We’ve found the perfect spot in Truro, and we’re super excited to turn it into an Instagram-worthy destination right in the heart of our Great Little City.
This new space will let us bring our ideas to life, add a warm and unique vibe to Truro’s bustling food and drink scene, grow our team, and give our customers the full Cookie Queen experience. Plus, it’ll boost the local economy as our online fans from all over the country will come to visit us in the county.
We’re confident we can make this happen, but we need some funding to kick things off. Your support will help cover essential costs like fitting out the bakery, installing electric, water, flooring, and air conditioning, as well as creating a new customer counter, signage, and storefront decorations.

One day, when we’re all over the country, you can proudly say, “I was there when they were just starting out!”
We are Cookie Queen
Cookie Queen kicked off in January 2020. We were busy setting up our branding, social media, and working on the website when the lockdown hit. Like everyone else, we were thrown into a bit of a panic, unsure of our next steps. But then it hit us: if you could sell online, you could still deliver! So, that’s exactly what I did. I started posting the menu every week, and orders started pouring in! I was selling out in just 15 minutes!
As the lockdown eased, local cafes reached out, and I jumped at the chance to supply them wholesale. Around the same time, I was also selling at local farmers markets. It quickly became overwhelming to manage everything from home, so we decided to rent a unit in Redruth at Cardrew Industrial Estate.
That unit has served us well for four years, but we’re starting to outgrow it and are craving a more welcoming space for our customers. Since December 2020, we’ve been regulars at Truro Farmers Market, and Truro really feels like home for Cookie Queen. We want to create a picture-perfect spot in our lovely city, Truro. Many of our customers discover us through social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, and then come looking for us when they’re in the area. We’re excited to complete the Cookie Queen journey with a physical store on the high street.
We're super excited to dive into this next chapter with you!
