Gourmet cookie lovers have a new reason to celebrate. Crisp & Chew, the popular artisan bakery dedicated to elevating the oatmeal cookie, will 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. 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.
"We wanted to create something that felt nostalgic but elevated," says 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."
Crisp & Chew is known for its rotating menu and inventive flavor profiles. The bakery crafts elevated classics alongside monthly drops of limited-edition creations, including Almond Croissant, Lemon Raspberry, Carrot Cake, Peach Cobbler, Brown Butter Double Chocolate Chip, Cookie Butter, and Salted Caramel Creme Pies. Many monthly flavors draw inspiration from personal family traditions, such as Mom’s Birthday Cake and Dad’s Maple Nut. 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. Local support has anchored 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."
This expansion from a farmers market stall to a brick-and-mortar store highlights the growing demand for artisanal, high-quality baked goods in the Georgetown area. The grand opening not only celebrates the bakery’s success but also reinforces the importance of community support in small business growth. For those unable to attend, Crisp & Chew’s soft open hours are Thursday-Friday 12 PM - 6 PM and Saturday 12 PM - 5 PM.
