Lauren Arnsdorff's Flour & Branch Bakery defied pandemic odds by opening just before COVID-19 lockdowns. Despite numerous challenges, including high rent and personal tragedies, her online bakery flourished. In 2022, they opened a physical location in San Francisco and received media acclaim for their unique cookies. The business story showcases resilience, as they navigate adversity while being spotlighted as a successful woman-owned enterprise, with notable mentions from Food Network and other publications.
"We've had a series of really incredible, horrific challenges. It's not to say other businesses don't also have their own. But we've had a steady influx of challenges."
"In 2022, Food Network Online added the business's 'Chipper' chocolate chip cookie, a Guittard chocolate-infused treat with Rice Krispies and a marshmallow on top, to its list of 15 Seriously Delicious Cookies You Can Order Online."
