Our Story
HOW IT ALL STARTED
Our love for sweets goes way back, but The Cookie Box officially kicked off in 2017 with a first store in Perth! Since then, we’ve been mixing creativity and food science to dream up new recipes, experiment with exciting flavours, and turn our sweet ideas into reality.
The creative journey began in 2015, when we started experimenting with recipes and gathering feedback from our early fans. Hundreds of tweaks later, we perfected our one-of-a-kind recipe with a secretive process that makes our cookies truly special!

2017
The Cookie Box opened its first store in Perth, and after two amazing years of slinging cookies at markets, running a pop-up shop, and cruising around with our cookie van, it was time to grow! We took the leap and ventured into Australia’s food capital, Melbourne!
2020
From there, things got crazy!
Our Chapel St. store opened with a bang, selling out every day at the start of the year. After that huge success, we opened in Hawthorn, and once again, the locals fell in love with our cookies from day one.
Then came a few COVID lockdowns, staff shortages, and economic instability, so we hit pause on our expansion plans. It was time to put our heads down and focus on what The Cookie Box does best—making cookies. And trust us, a LOT of cookies were made!
2024
We opened our flagship store in the iconic Melbourne CBD, and once again, what a success for our team!
Our team is growing, and we've got some exciting things in the works… so stay tuned!
We’ll keep you posted.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We firmly believe Melburnians have incredible palates and know greatness when they taste it. That’s why we don’t just follow trends or make cookies that only look good on Instagram. Our focus is on using the best ingredients we can find to create cookies that really stand out.
Now, we’re not saying we make the absolute best cookies in the world (we’ll let you be the judge 😉), but we’re always striving to be the best we can be. Our recipes are always evolving because we're dedicated to constant improvement and delivering an unbeatable cookie experience!
We believe in the extraordinary power of food to spark joy and create memories that last a lifetime. Our cookies have the potential to ignite those magical moments, bringing happiness and bringing people together.
