Andrew Worth, the proprietor of Worth, is an amazing pastries chef and baker. His concoctions are to die for!!! I'm not joking, I heard someone did once from the "Trevor" ( a chocolate stoute cake). Ok I might be kidding but his stuff is really good!
He has a home based cottage food baking business, which basically means he works out of his home and you call and make an order and then BAM you get it. He is very easy to work with and if you have an allergy (talking to you peanut people) he is able to accommodate and work with you so you don't have some crazy reaction and loose a foot. Once your order is complete he then is only allowed to have pickup, retail sales at locations or provide limited delivery only in Columbus. Who knows how old this Cottage rule is but someone has to follow it.
Enough about him and his place of business lets talk about the goods the baked goods that is. My wife and I have tried pretty much everything he has made, we are the go to guinea pigs.
My favorite, the good ol "Standard" Chocolate Chip Cookie as he calls is. It is a huge cookie, I would say a little larger and a lot thicker than a CD/DVD. The large chunks of chocolate chips are out of this world. He adds a pinch of sea salt to the top of the cookie, it makes everything in the cookie that much better tasting but it gives a visual appeal of pure greatness too! The cookie is at just the right moisture, so it bends when you bite into it and is still soft. AWESOME-SAUCE!
He has all kinds of goodies some examples are Chocolate-Lavendar Cake, Chocolate-Cinnamon Mustache Sandwich Cookies with Nutella Filling, Pistachio & Lavender Chocolate Toffee, Ligurian Olive Oil, Lemon & Raspberry Cake. These are some of the items he had at his pop-up at the Old Familiar Barber Shop (which is also a great place).
Onto price...
The cookies (mentioned above) are $2.50 each or for you math whizzes $30/dozen. Hell he might even make is a baker's dozen, who knows? One might say that's too expensive for a cookie, listen here you- you Debbie downer, it is an amazing cookie and is made from scratch, everything is made from scratch. With high quality ingredients. It is just like anything in life, you pay what you get for. So for a gourmet cookie and other desserts, the price is spot on maybe even a little cheap.
I couldn't be more impressed with these amazing baked goods and other savory fares. read more
