The Cookie Counter Bakery is preparing for its grand opening at 53 Piercefield Road, near the Spar shop, and to celebrate, the first 30 customers through the door will each receive a FREE cookie!

The doors officially open at 10am tomorrow, and after Formby Bubble was invited inside today for an exclusive sneak peek, we can tell you that this lovely new addition to our village is looking absolutely fantastic!

From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a gorgeous display of freshly prepared cakes, colourful cookies and beautifully decorated sweet treats. The display counter is packed with tempting creations, and choosing just one might prove rather difficult!

Just Wait Until You See What’s on the Menu!

If you love a little indulgence with your morning coffee or fancy treating yourself at the weekend, The Cookie Counter Bakery has plenty to offer.

During our visit, we spotted an incredible selection of miniature sponge cakes topped with fresh strawberries, raspberries and cream, rich chocolate cakes covered in chocolate frosting, caramel-drizzled creations and deliciously thick cookies finished with all sorts of tempting toppings.

And that’s just a taste of what’s available!

There’s also a fantastic professional coffee machine ready to serve freshly made drinks, with a menu that includes:

☕ Hot drinks: Lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites, Americanos, mochas and espresso, alongside English breakfast tea.

🍫 Hot chocolate: Classic hot chocolate and a special signature hot chocolate for those who fancy something extra indulgent.

🧊 Iced coffees: Classic, vanilla, caramel and white chocolate flavours.

🍵 Iced matcha: Including vanilla, mango and strawberry varieties.

🍓 Refreshing cold drinks: Peach iced tea, strawberry lemonade and grapefruit lemonade.

And it’s not all about the sweet treats either! Customers will also be able to pick up locally produced bread, bagels and other freshly baked goodies.

Whether you’re after a quick coffee on your way to work, something delicious for breakfast or a little afternoon treat, there’s certainly plenty to look forward to.

Meet the Formby Girl Behind the Bakery

The Cookie Counter Bakery is the dream of local resident Jennifer Williamson, who has grown up in Formby and lived here all her life.

Jennifer has spent the last few years working as a chef in Liverpool city centre, but her love of baking began much earlier, watching her mum, Karen, create beautiful custom birthday cakes for her own small business.

Inspired by those early experiences, Jennifer began developing her own baking style and recipes, eventually taking her creations to pop-up events across Liverpool.

Now she’s bringing everything she’s learned back to her hometown, opening her very first permanent bakery alongside her mum.

It’s a lovely family venture, with a few friends also helping them bring their exciting plans to life.

Jennifer explained that she felt Formby would be the perfect place for a bakery offering fresh bread, bagels, cakes, cookies and quality coffee all under one roof.

And judging by what we saw today, she’s certainly put her heart into creating somewhere special.

Speaking ahead of tomorrow’s grand opening, Jennifer couldn’t hide her excitement after weeks of hard work transforming the premises into the bakery she’s always dreamed of owning…

“We’ve put so much hard work into the shop over the last few weeks, and we’re really proud of how it’s turned out. It still doesn’t feel real that it’s actually ours! “

“Opening my own shop has always been a dream of mine, and now it’s finally happening. We’re so excited and can’t wait to open the doors tomorrow at 10am!”

Grand Opening Tomorrow, Saturday 14th November!

The celebrations begin at 10am, with the bakery welcoming customers until 6pm.

Jennifer and Karen are incredibly excited to finally open their doors, and they’re hoping plenty of local residents will pop along to say hello and see what they’ve been working so hard to create.

Following the launch, the bakery will be open seven days a week, with early weekday opening times making it particularly handy for commuters and families on the school run.

Regular opening hours:

Monday to Friday: 7am to 6pm

Saturday: 8am to 6pm (10am on opening day).

Sunday: 8am to 4pm

Let’s Give Jennifer and Karen a Wonderful Formby Welcome!

There’s something really special about seeing a local person turn a lifelong passion into a business right here in the community where they grew up.

Jennifer and Karen have clearly put an enormous amount of effort into getting everything ready, and it was a pleasure to be invited inside today to see the results.

The bakery looks beautiful, the cakes look absolutely irresistible, and there’s a real sense of excitement ahead of the big day.

Everyone at Formby Bubble would like to wish Jennifer, Karen and their team a fantastic grand opening and every success with their new venture.

We love seeing new independent businesses bringing something different to our village, and we hope the Formby community gets right behind them.

So, if you’re looking for somewhere new to enjoy a coffee, fancy picking up something delicious for the weekend or simply want to support a lovely local family business, why not pop along tomorrow?
