Kai’S Kookies and More Bakery, Charlotte, NC
As its name suggests, this South End Bakery takes cookies as seriously as its homespun baked goods and coffee. Hand Iced Cookies are custom made and carefully decorated. Americano is the house coffee each cup served with two shots of espresso. Friendly Owners and employees greet you with a smile, and the coffee bar serves some of the best roasters in North Carolina (Larry Beans, Bouqette Mountain Coffee). Three inch round personal €Bouji€ cheesecakes topped with a flavorful cream are colorfully decorated with decadent flavors that include Mudslide, Banana Pudding and Cookies and Cream. Other coffee-pairing options range from breakfast breads to scrumptious Pound Cakes.
Kai's Kookies was started by the proud parents of Kai Watkins who was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at birth. Both parents are former Engineers who were laid off from their jobs and begin to pursue their dreams of owning a Bakery. With what remained of their retirement savings they embarked on a journey opening their bakeshop in a rundown shopping center close to their home. They had to overcome the many hardships of opening a new business on a tight budget and getting their customers to overcome the impression that they were not located in a safe environment. Not knowing much about running a Bakery business the Watkins relied on the recipes they developed and begin to make friendships with the local populace. Soon word spread of the one of a kind treats they offered and the beautiful creations made in the small shop.
Soon after opening the Bakery was broken into and most of the equipment was stolen along with some of the inventory. The Watkins decided to push through this setback and expanded their hours to midnight and begins to open on Sunday and Monday, not knowing Monday was the day most Bakeries in the country took off. They also begin to position themselves by marketing coupons and with their continual support of Easter Seals and contributions to other area causes in the name of their daughter.
Today Kai's Kookies and More Bakery have positioned itself as one of Charlotte's premier Bakery's. Becoming a hometown institution that many out of town guest consider a must stop and taste of Charlotte. Not a small task in the Four years since its opening.
