Our Story
At Alvarado Cookies, every crumb tells a story. Founded by Daniel Alvarado, our bakery and cafe were born from a lifelong passion for baking and creating memorable experiences around the table..
Growing up in a family that cherished homemade recipes, Daniel spent countless hours in the kitchen, perfecting cookie dough and experimenting with flavors. Inspired by the joy a simple cookie could bring to someone’s day, Daniel set out to create a space where everyone feels at home.
