Chicagoan Creates Jamaican Inspired, Vegan Soft Cookies
Tubby’s Taste is more than just a vegan cookie company; it’s a flavorful journey rooted in Jamaican tradition and inspired by a lineage of skilled bakers. Growing up in Miami surrounded by the tantalizing aromas of rum cake, sweet potato pudding, and black cake, baking was in Tubby’s blood, even if the grunt work initially felt like a chore.
After college and a move to Chicago, Tubby’s Taste was born out of a desire to share the bold flavors and cultural richness of Jamaican-inspired cookies. The name, a playful nod to her college nickname “Tubby” and family heritage, symbolizes a stamp of approval on every batch.
What sets Tubby’s Taste apart is not just the delectable vegan cookies but the deep connection to Jamaican American roots. Each cookie is a story, a vibrant chapter of growing up with three influential Jamaican cake ladies—her mom, aunt, and grandmother. The flavors are a reflection of South Florida’s tropical abundance, with memories of sugar cane, juicy mangoes, and coconut trees shaping Tubby’s culinary creations.
Tubby’s Taste is more than a business; it’s a commitment to authenticity and community. As a black-owned, women-owned enterprise, supporting Tubby’s Taste means supporting a living wage and a business that gives back to its neighborhood. Conscious ingredient choices and a genuine care for customers make Tubby’s Taste a trusted source for unique, boldly flavored cookies.
Beyond everyday treats, Tubby’s Taste becomes a part of special occasions through their holiday boxes. This isn’t just about cookies; it’s a gesture of gratitude, a way to connect and appreciate others. Whether thanking employees, team members, board members, or loved ones, Tubby’s Taste aims to be the conduit for expressing gratitude, delivering uniquely flavored cookies on behalf of those who want to share a moment of appreciation and love.
