Awesome Bites treats were never “just something you could eat.”
They were the treats people got excited about.
The muffins, cookies, cakes and n’ice cream were made to feel freakin’ . Not like a possibly “edible”check-in-the-box. Not like the thing you ate because it was the ONLY option.
More like, “Wait… your treat looks better than mine.”
The secret sauce was an unreasonable, uncompromising dedication to making treats that people actually wanted.
Top 9 allergen free. Dye free. Completely . Made with care 💕so you didn’t have to wonder about the chance of cross contact. By a possibly OCD founder who checked for shared lines of every single ingredient and bought her team snacks so they wouldn’t bring anything outside in.
Is there another bakery and ice cream shop in Houston doing all of that? No.
That’s what I don’t want us to lose.
We have 3 days left in our storefront.
What comes after that is Awesome Bites 2.0: a way to keep making the treats you love, not from our one shop far from many but neighborhood pop ups closer to you.
What you fundraise now will determine how Awesome Bites continues in Houston. Today it looks like it ends at a Halloween 🎃 pop-up.
If our treats have mattered to you, if we’ve ever made a birthday, celebration or ordinary day feel a little more awesome, please give. Please share.
If just 10% of the 40,000+ people we’ve served over the last 11 years gave $11, we’d be there.

UPDATED: This may be goodbye to Awesome Bites altogether. And that’s the hardest part to say. 💔
I tried to explain where we are in the videos. It’s 4 minutes of me, unfiltered, trying to put a decade of love into words—and explain how hard it is to feel like I’m letting y’all down. I hope you can stay with me. Thank you for listening.
If you need the short version…
Our last day at the Houston storefront is Sunday, September 27. The plans I’ve been working on for Awesome Bites 2.0 haven’t progressed as I hoped, and I find myself at a crossroads.
Closing the storefront is definite. Being able to continue afterward isn’t. If we can’t reach the funding milestones to make a next chapter possible, Awesome Bites could be gone for good.
I wish I had better news. I wish I were better at asking for help. And asking sooner.
I hope over the years we’ve filled your tummy and your heart with a feeling of safety and care. It has truly filled my heart to feed y’all—to give you a bite of what’s been missing and a place where what makes you different is celebrated.
I hope this isn’t goodbye. But if there’s going to be a next chapter, I can’t do it alone. I need your help.
We’ve started a campaign to help Awesome Bites live on through neighborhood pop ups. Every milestone helps us bring more food, connection, and community back to you:
💛 $2,700 — One fall pop up
🎃 $5,000 — Halloween pop ups
🥧 $10,000 — Thanksgiving pop ups
🎄 $25,000 — A Christmas pop up
💕 $40,000 — Monthly pop ups near you
🙌 We reached our first goal for a fall pop up in less than 24 hours 🙌. THANK YOU to so many generous givers and fans!
Every dollar moves us closer to the next chapter.
Please help if you can:
💛 Give at: bit.ly/AwesomeBitesLivesOn
💛 Share this post with someone who wants to help keep Awesome Bites here
💛 Help us reach the next milestone
Every gift, share, and person you help us reach matters.
Thank you for letting me love y’all through food. You’ve filled a place in my heart that I won’t know how to replace.
Make today an awesome one.
💛 Jennifer

I have heard what our place means to so many in this community, and I know what it means to me, my family, and my team.
It’s not what my heart wants to do, but after a lot of trying, pivoting, hoping and holding on, I’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to close the Awesome Bites storefront at the end of September.
But this isn’t necessarily goodbye to Awesome Bites. It is goodbye to this version of it.
There’s a lot more I want to share about how we got here, what the next few weeks will look like, and what I hope might come next. I’ll send follow-up emails in the coming days that should answer many of your questions.
But today, as it is now my 3rd attempt,
I just needed to start by saying this:
Our final day at the storefront will be Sunday, Sept 27 💛
