Vicki Melo’s Sugar Mama Cookie Company is the latest addition to an already charming block on Provencher Boulevard, making sweet company with neighbours Chocolatier Constance Popp and the Wayne Arthur Gallery.
After spending the last six years operating her business online, Melo chose the Saint-Boniface location to open her long-awaited storefront because, "this neighbourhood has so much life and culture and such a strong sense of community." She also loves the proximity to the Forks and Winnipeg's downtown, and how walkable it all is.
Follow the delicious aroma of baked gourmet cookies and look for the pink roof with green trim; it will lead you to an adorable, bright, and airy café where from the moment you walk in, your mood will immediately improve.
From the warm and friendly staff to the bright pastel colours and giant abstract cookie on the wall, this sweet spot has you covered for your next cookie craving.
Sugar Mama Cookie Co. opened on April 2, 2022, serving up flavours like lemon raspberry, cream cheese-stuffed red velvet and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. We give you fair warning, prepare to indulge! We suggest you try one of the crowd favourites, The Oskor, the epitome of decadence with a soft chocolate chip cookie dough base stuffed with Skor bar and toffee, then topped with melted chocolate and more Skor.
Being a strictly cookie bakery, you can find more than 150 recipes, while Melo and her crew also do custom sugar cookies for events and branded cookies for corporate clients and weddings. For those looking to level-up their own cookie game, they sell things like cookie apparel, baking supplies and cookie cutters--to name a few.
Who doesn't love milk with their cookies? For those with kids, this cookie shop is a must-stop because they've added a new level of fun by offering flavoured milk options such as strawberry, blueberry and banana. Quick parental advisory: Once you introduce this place to your kids, they'll want to go back!
Now that spring has really sprung, try their brand new Ice Cream Cookie Cups. Picture a layer of cookie crumbles of your choice that will sandwich a thick layer of ice cream topped with homemade caramel and chocolate ganache. Drool worthy and Instagram ready for sure!
Sugar Mama Cookie Company (184 Provencher Blvd.), hours are Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., closed Sundays. You can order online here and find them on Instagram at @sugarmamacookiecompany.
