OUR STORY

Today, Tiff’s Treats is famous for bringing hot, fresh-from-the-oven cookies and brownies to hungry treat lovers everywhere, but it all started with $20, a cell phone, and a dream.

BORN IN AUSTIN

When Tiffany Taylor and Leon Chen were college sophomores at the University of Texas, she stood him up for a date and delivered hot-from-the-oven cookies to apologize. Leon convinced Tiff to turn her cookies into a business, and Tiff’s Treats was born. The company started as small as you can get, with the two of them taking orders on a cell phone and baking cookies in the oven at Leon’s apartment.

2000-2003

Our First Storefront

In 2000, Tiff’s Treats expanded into a real kitchen on the Drag across from UT, sharing a space with Spudnik, a potato restaurant. In 2003, we moved into our own stand-alone location—a converted 1940’s bungalow at MLK & Nueces that still serves as our Central Austin location servicing UT and downtown.

Today

Today, Tiff and Leon are married. And the company has grown to 92 stores and 1700 employees (and we're growing all the time). But our core mission is still the same—make amazing cookies from high-quality ingredients and bake them when they’re ordered, so they’re delivered warm and fresh.
