Baked with purpose.

Oli's Cookies was founded on a simple idea: that great food can bring people together. What began as one family's story has grown into a mission to create exceptional plant-based cookies while building a more inclusive future.

Every cookie is baked in small batches using premium plant-based ingredients because we believe purpose should never come at the expense of quality. Whether it's a classic chocolate chip or a seasonal favorite, our goal is simple: make cookies people genuinely crave.

Our story

Oli's Cookies began in Poway (northern San Diego county) in 2022, inspired by Oliver — a bright, creative, and endlessly curious kid whose unique perspective continues to shape everything we do.

Baking became a way to connect with family, friends, and community. What started as sharing homemade cookies with neighbors quickly grew into something much larger: a business built on exceptional recipes, genuine relationships, and the belief that everyone deserves opportunities to thrive.

We believe meaningful employment changes lives.

Autistic adults continue to face disproportionately high rates of unemployment and underemployment, despite bringing valuable skills, creativity, and dedication to the workplace.

Our long-term vision is to build a company that creates meaningful employment opportunities for autistic adults while fostering an environment where different ways of thinking are welcomed and celebrated.

Every cookie purchased helps us move one step closer to that goal.

Meet Oliver

Oliver has always loved creating. Whether he's drawing, exploring new places, or discovering new interests, his creativity reminds us that every person experiences the world differently — and that those differences are worth celebrating.

Our logo, artwork, and company spirit all reflect the imagination that inspired Oli's from the very beginning.

Building a Lasting Impact

Our mission extends far beyond baking cookies. Through partnerships with local nonprofits, fundraising initiatives, and community events, we're proud to support organizations serving autistic individuals and their families.

We're also investing directly in the next generation by offering internships and job training opportunities for autistic individuals in our bakery and at local markets. We believe meaningful work builds confidence, independence, and community.

As Oli's continues to grow, so will our impact. We're building more than a bakery—we're building a business where exceptional food, meaningful employment, and community come together to create lasting change.

We're honored to support organizations that champion inclusion, advocacy, and opportunity for autistic individuals and their families.
