Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Wrigley Field at the corner of Clark Street and West Grace Street sits Cloud Cookie, a vibrant, cloud-themed grab ‘n’ go for luxury cookies and other sweet treats.
The “shoppe” — as founder and owner Anne Marie Morin, aka “Cloudy,” calls it — had its grand opening in December 2020.
Her inspiration?
Covid-19.
To survive pandemic life, Morin exercised by day and baked with — and for — loved ones by night.
“Coming up with some cute little cookie ideas and sharing them with the people I was quarantining with was kind of what was getting me through every day,” Morin said. “And they were loving that. Everybody was loving the cookies, so that’s where Cloud Cookie was born.”
