(we bake cookies - big fresh ones!)
At Lion Cub’s Cookies we’re passionate about crafting the ultimate cookie experience. We are a cookie shop unlike any other! We start by hand-making our dough daily from scratch, using only the finest ingredients. Then, we bake these beauties to perfection right in front of you, ensuring a warm, fresh-out-of-the-oven treat every single visit.
The result? A delightful textural contrast – a slight crunch on the outside gives way to a ooey-gooey center bursting with flavor. It’s everything you love about cookies, elevated to a whole new level!

(because our customers love us)
Our journey began in 2019 with a folding table, a dream, and a local market. We quickly became a Columbus cookie sensation, but the pandemic threw us a curveball.
With just 6 pop-ups under our belt, we pivoted to delivery, which was fueled by passion and, of course, cookies! Our small team hand-delivered happiness from a shared kitchen, managing orders via Instagram DMs. Delivery exploded, and within months, we needed a permanent home. Our amazing community stepped up, helping us reach our crowdfunding goal in a record 30 hours! THANK YOU!
June 2021 marked the grand opening of our first store in Grandview. We have big dreams and even bigger plans for the future!
Our philosophy is simple: we will never sacrifice on quality, we will always create lasting connections with our customers, and we will only treat people fairly and with respect.

How do I become a taste tester for Lion Cub's?
Taste tester?! That’s right!
All you have to do is join our Roaring Rewards Program and follow us on Instagram or Facebook @LionCubsCookies. Be on the look out for texts, posts and stories where we ask if you wanna come in for some free cookies to try out!
The reason we do this you ask? We believe firmly it’s about you, we only want to give you a nice, fresh cookie you won’t forget. So, this is our way of having you tell us what you like.
How do you handle known allergens (peanuts and tree nuts)?
Anytime there is a cookie with any type of nut in it, it is either indicated in the cookies name, or it is mentioned below the cookie in the description (for both online and in-store orders).
In addition, we take several precautions to not cross contaminate while in the kitchen. Specifically, we thoroughly wash and sanitize cookie dough making equipment before and after all allergen laden batches. Also, when boxing cookies we have separate spatulas used for cookies with nuts in them.
At this time however, we will only put nut-laden cookies in different packaging than our other cookies if specifically asked to do so.
That said, we do process our nut-free cookie dough on equipment that also processes nuts, so, we advise extreme caution if there is any concern of an allergic reaction. That is to say, we recommend anyone who may have an allergic reaction to our cookies due to the above stated fact to not eat the cookies. We take your safety very seriously, safety and caution is always the best practice!
If you have questions, concerns, or want to know more about this or any other allergy, please email us at hello@lioncubscookies.com!

Do online pick up orders and catering orders earn Roaring Rewards points?
Yes! Simply enter in the email and phone number associated with your Roaring Rewards account on the checkout screen and your points will be automatically added to your account!
Why can't I redeem points online?
If the option to redeem loyalty points is not appearing on the checkout screen, verify the email address and phone number are correct. Additionally, if there are cookies and a gift card in the cart, each will need to be placed in separate transactions in order to redeem points.
Gift card purchases do not earn points. Points are earned when gift cards are used to purchase cookies.
You’re in luck! We’ve got two spots where you can find the best cookies in town!
