Crisp & Chew Opens Georgetown Bakery, Elevating Oatmeal Cookies to Artisanal Status
Artisan bakery Crisp & Chew celebrates its grand opening in Georgetown, Texas, on June 16, following a sold-out soft opening, marking the expansion of its popular oatmeal cookie concept from farmers market to brick-and-mortar.
Gourmet cookie lovers in Georgetown have a new destination as Crisp & Chew, an artisan bakery specializing in elevated oatmeal cookies, prepares to host its official Grand Opening celebration on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, at 11:30 AM. Located at 1612 Williams Dr, Georgetown, TX, the event follows a highly successful soft opening on May 7 that saw several menu items completely sell out. The community celebration kicks off with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony, and attendees will enjoy complimentary handcrafted cookies, refreshments, and exclusive giveaways while experiencing the bakery’s signature menu firsthand.
Founded by Sarah Davis and Qudduws Ware, Crisp & Chew began as a passion project rooted in nostalgia and comfort. The duo set out with one mission: to put oatmeal cookies in the spotlight. What started as small-batch baking for local farmers markets quickly generated a loyal following across Georgetown, Austin and the surrounding cities. 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,” says 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 bakery’s rise from farmers market favorite to brick-and-mortar storefront underscores the growing demand for artisanal, locally crafted food experiences in the region.
Crisp & Chew is known for its rotating menu and inventive flavor profiles, crafting elevated classics alongside monthly drops of limited-edition creations. Offerings include 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 bakery’s most requested items. 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 grand opening highlights the importance of community-driven business growth in Georgetown’s evolving culinary landscape. For those unable to attend, Crisp & Chew’s soft open hours are Thursday-Friday from 12 PM to 6 PM and Saturday from 12 PM to 5 PM.
