About Us

Nestled in the heart of Portsmouth, Ohio, The Taylored Cookie is more than just a bakery; it’s a slice of history and heart. From their charming spot on Market Street—once home to the beloved Helen’s Bakery—Taylor and her team carry on a century-old legacy of baking with love. With recipes passed down through generations, every treat is a celebration of tradition, made fresh daily to delight locals and visitors alike.

The story of The Taylored Cookie began with Taylor, a proud mom whose love of baking became her creative sanctuary. Starting with late nights in her kitchen crafting custom orders, she realized that her passion was worth pursuing full-time. With a leap of faith, she traded her day job for an apron and built a bakery where dreams rise like fresh dough. Today, Taylor’s joy of baking shines through in every cookie, donut, and pastry, making her shop a favorite in the Portsmouth community.

  • “I stopped in for the first time last week, and wow—I’ve never tasted a donut so fresh and flavorful!”

  • "These pastries were literally some of the best things I have ever had."

  • “The decorative cookies for my daughter’s birthday party were a huge hit, too. They’re almost too pretty to eat… but not quite!”
