About

A bakery with a goose problem

We bake cookies like we mean it and cakes like we have somewhere to be — which is usually right here, behind the counter.

Our cottage-whimsical mark — goose, cake, and a little celebration.

How we got here

One Sweet Goose began as weekend cookie trays for friends who kept “forgetting” their wallets. Demand got louder than our apartment oven. We rented a small kitchen, named the shop after the alley goose who supervised cooling racks, and settled into a rhythm of brown butter and buttercream.

Today we focus on what we can do well: thick cookies, soft layer cakes, and custom cakes that don’t look like they were printed by a robot.

Values we bake by

  • Same-day cookies when the case says so
  • Clear allergen labels — nuts called out every time
  • Honest lead times for celebration cakes
  • No mystery frosting — ask us what’s in it
