Marlo's Bakeshop

Our mission statement is three-pronged: we want our products to nurture our customers, strengthen our community, and promote women's entrepreneurship. We have a signature line of soft-baked biscotti and a line of heirloom cookies, and all of our products are made with clean, wholesome ingredients; they have 34% less sugar than the leading cookie per serving, and they're non-GMO project verified and/or organic- that's the wholesome indulgence piece of our mission statement that nurtures our customers. We donate as many cookies as possible to local and national non-profit organizations, schools, and fundraisers- that's the community piece of the mission. The third piece is promoting women's entrepreneurship, which is important to us as a woman-owned company. We created a seal that goes on all of our packaging that easily identifies our product as coming from a woman-owned company, to make it as easy and seamless as possible for consumers to identify products made by a minority-owned business if that’s something they'd like to support.
