“I never thought that I would have the opportunity to open a brick-and-mortar store but once everything lined up, I knew it was time to take this leap,“ expressed Susan Palmer, Founder of Little Red Kitchen Bake Shop, native New Yorker, and Bay Ridge, Brooklyn resident. “We have been shipping baked goods to doorsteps nationwide for a decade, and it brings me an immense amount of joy to celebrate this major milestone during our 10th year in operations.”

“I am so proud to be opening a store in such a beloved Brooklyn neighborhood, one that has played an important role in my life for the last twenty years,” continued Palmer. “Little Red Kitchen is looking forward to getting to know the Park Slope community and helping bring smiles to their faces with our sweet treats.”

Before launching Little Red Kitchen Bake Shop in 2014, Palmer won the Brooklyn Cookie Takedown in 2011 and 2012.

She spent a year perfecting her chocolate chip cookie recipe and learning how to build a business from scratch.

“As a self-taught baker, it's my mission to provide a home-baked taste, using only ingredients that folks can pronounce and find in their own pantry,” said Palmer. “When you bite into one of our baked goods, we want the first mouthful to evoke a memory, or create a new one in the moment.”

The brand uses high-quality ingredients, mostly organic, fair trade, and non-GMO, and the recipes never include artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. All of the products available online, including their hot chocolate mix and DIY Cookie Kits, are kosher certified.
