We had the good fortune of connecting with Sana Haq and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sana, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Never in a million years would I have thought of selling cookies. I started out as a hobby baker, mainly using it as a creative outlet. I would make batches of cookies on my days off and bring them into work. As I got better, my coworkers and friends kept telling me the cookies were good enough to sell and that I should consider doing it professionally. I finally gathered the courage to do so this summer and am happy I took the plunge.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am proud of the work I put out. With each set, I get very invested and do not hesitate to add little details that may take longer, but give a beautiful result. I also love doing small batch cookies. Sets of 6 have been my favorite. I like the thought of giving custom cookies to a host, new mom, graduate etc. Cookies can be made very personal and I love doing that for my customers.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I really love nature, I would choose a sunrise hike to start with. I like going to mom and pop places, little cafes and bakeries and like to support small businesses. I also like to cook at home, so planning a menu I don’t make regularly and cooking it together one day (think pasta from scratch).
I love Bubble tea and have been really liking Feng Cha.

I have many interests and they don’t seem related to one another, but that’s me. I like a lot of different things.
