Cocoa Bean & Cream

Hello friends! I hope your holiday season has been as fantastic as mine. I was busy this weekend making cookies for a 70th birthday. This weekend I made 7 DOZEN!! !! Thanks Deanna K., I know you had been patiently waiting for an opening in my calendar. Also, January has been booked up and I will only be taking a very limited amount of orders for Feb so please get your orders in now to ensure a spot. Thanks to you all for your continued support

Hey yall!! The holiday season is off to a great start. Thanks Shannon Baird-Martin for your order. I missed baking so much. I am looking forward to the other orders this month

Hello my dear friends, I just wanted to share this great pic that I use often when baking. Keep it on your phone’s camera roll and it will come in handy!

https://www.facebook.com/marissacalifornialiving/ HELLO MY BEAUTIFUL COOKIE FRIENDS! MY NEW PAGE IS UP. You all have been so supportive to me with my cookie business so I wanted to ask for your support in my real estate business as well. Please squish that LIKE button on this page!

Hello my sweet cookie loving friends! It has been a while and I apologize for not being able to take your orders but this mama has been busy. This summer I focused on obtaining my real estate license and last Friday I passed my exam! Now that I wont be studying all day I will have time to make cookies again (yay!) please message me for any questions regarding cookies or real estate haha!! Thanks and I missed you all #thehustledontstop #anotherdreamcometrue #ilovehelpingothers #ilovehomes #ilovecookies haha

Hello friends!!! It's me! Just wanted to wish everyone an amazing summer. I have been busy getting our new place in order, end of school stuff with the kids and am currently studying for my real estate license. Now that I have a mortgage I have to step up my income and while cookies are fun to make, you need to bake tons and tons (and tons) in order to be financially stable. Once I am done studying and get my license I will be able to bake again as a small side gig so this is by no means a good bye! I just need to focus on this so I can finish my courses quickly. I am being mentored by an amazing realtor and getting lots of field experience. I hope to see you all sooner than later lol big hugs to all!!!

Hello my friends! It has been a bit quiet over here at Cocoa Bean's HQ because guess what?!? We moved AGAIN! Ugh....Yes, very unexpectedly but we are so excited to have our own home in Discovery Bay. I am going to be closing down the shop for a bit while I try to figure out the logistics of serving my customers from way out there plus applying for my permits all over again . Please bear with me thru this new phase and feel free to keep in touch. Until further notice, closed but hope to be back soon. Xoxo Marissa A.

Today is as many of you might already know, International Women's Day. I would say 99% of my amazing customers are women. Amazing women who support small business owners like me. Thank you for helping a girl out, thanks for buying local and thanks for all of your continued support. I am successful because of you awesome ladies and for that I am ever so grateful. Love my tribe, Marissa

F.A.Q's Hello and welcome to Cocoa Bean & Cream! Cookies typically range from $40-$48 a dozen depending on how intricate the design is. I do offer individually wrapped cookies (bags and ribbon) for $6 extra per dozen or $3 a dz for individually heat sealed cookies. I also offer a cookie platter set if you wish not to do individual bags. I ask for 1/2 down as a deposit in order to officially book your order via Paypal, cash or check. Dates are booked on a first deposit... received basis. Please message to place your order as soon as you have a date, I tend to book up really fast! I may be able to squeeze in a last minute order for a small convenience fee. Cookies are a delicious vanilla bean homemade sugar cookie. Not crunchy or overly soft. Thank you and I am glad to answer any other questions you may have. -xoxo-Marissa See more
