Grand Opening June 15th and 16th
Hunny’s Cookies is officially open and ready to satisfy the sweet tooth of cookie lovers
everywhere in South Georgian Bay. Hunny’s, developed and run by young entrepreneur
Rochelle Reynolds, is currently a home-based cookie shop with plans to expand to a
commercial cafe/storefront in due time. Hunny’s offers crowd favourites like Chocolate Chunk
and Peanut Butter, higher end deluxe flavours like White Chip Macadamia and Cinnamon Oat
Craisin, and whimsical delicacies like Fancy Cookies and delectable Cookie Sandwiches.
Curious to know what makes a cookie Fancy? Reynolds adds rich homemade buttercream to
any of her signature cookies, then decorates them with fun, delicious toppings like chocolate bar
bites, gummy candies, salty snacks, and even toasted coconut crumble. While all of her cookies
are outstanding, Reynolds’ personal Fancy favourite is the Chocolate Bar Star on a Double
Chocolate cookie base. If you are familiar with the enormously popular Crumbl Cookies chain,
Hunny’s Fancy Cookies are of a similar style.
Reynolds, a lifelong theatre and film creator by trade, has quietly aspired to run her own cafe or
bakery for the better part of a decade. All through high school and university, she would frequent
local cafes to absorb the atmosphere, soak in the coffee culture, and of course, indulge in fresh
baked treats, and the ability to create a welcoming space like this of her own for others to enjoy
has been on her mind for some time. After so many years telling herself that “one day” she’d
launch this venture, it was the spring of 2024 that finally pushed her to turn one day into day
one, and she has embraced the challenge wholeheartedly.
This is not Reynolds’ first foray into entrepreneurship, either. From 2016-2020, she ran Quarter
Century Theatre, based in Collingwood, and focused on enriching Simcoe County with powerful,
edgy, and largely original theatre and film productions. While she is still very much acting,
writing, and directing professionally, she chose to pivot away from self-producing in favour of
freelancing for other production companies, and therefore has the time and resources to
successfully launch Hunny’s here in the community.
If you want your chance to sample what Hunny’s has to offer, you’re in luck! Reynolds is running
a Grand Opening June 15th and 16th, 2024. The full menu will be available by donation, or
visitors can claim a free Classic or Deluxe cookie if they follow Hunny’s on social media to stay
connected with all the goings on. The Grand Opening runs from 1pm-6pm on the 15th, and
11am-4pm on the 16th. Details can be found on Hunny’s website (hunnyscookies.com) as well
as their official Facebook event (Hunny’s Cookies Grand Opening!!!)
Hunny’s has been zoned by the Town of Wasaga Beach and certified by Simcoe Muskoka
District Health Unit since spring 2024, and officially opened its doors on May 25th. All cookies
are made to order, and all orders are available for pickup right from Hunny’s kitchen. Hunny’s
accepts orders by phone/text, email, and direct message through any of their social channels.
