Gooie Plans A Scoopable-Cookie Bakery in Toronto’s Entertainment District
Gooie is preparing to bring warm, scoopable cookies to Toronto’s Entertainment District. A new dessert shop expected to open at 106 John Street by late November 2026.
The family-run bakery plans to serve freshly prepared, soft-centred cookie scoops alongside soft serve, sauces, toppings and a specialty coffee menu.
What Is Gooie Bringing to Toronto?
Gooie is putting a new spin on the traditional cookie by focusing on its warm, gooey centre.
Instead of serving conventional individual cookies, the bakery will offer scoops of warm, partially baked cookie dessert, giving customers a soft, spoonable texture.
Visitors will be able to enjoy the cookie scoops on their own or customize them with soft serve and a selection of sauces and toppings.
The planned menu includes a signature classic flavour alongside rotating seasonal options.
Co-founder Maria Tsianos has described Gooie as Toronto’s first scoop bar. However, other Toronto dessert businesses have previously offered scoopable cookies, so the description reflects the business’s own positioning rather than an independently established first.
Who Is Behind Gooie?
Maria Tsianos, her siblings Nicolette, Dimitria and Vasili, and their longtime friend Katherine Noitsis own Gooie.
According to reporting by What Now Toronto, the concept grew out of the group’s shared love of baking and their preference for cookies with soft, gooey centres.
The founders are turning that longtime interest into a dessert shop built around the experience of enjoying warm cookies by the spoonful.
Gooie Will Also Serve Specialty Coffee
Alongside its cookie desserts, Gooie plans to offer a full coffee menu.
The beverage program will feature homemade syrups and creative flavour combinations designed to complement the bakery’s sweet offerings.
Customers will have the option of pairing their cookie scoops with coffee or adding soft serve and toppings for a more elaborate dessert.
The brand is yet to confirm their full drink menu, individual prices, and operating hours.
When and Where Will Gooie Open?
Gooie is expected to open at 106 John Street in Toronto’s Entertainment District by the end of November 2026.
The location places the upcoming bakery near downtown restaurants, theatres and entertainment venues.
However, an exact opening date has not been confirmed, and the late-November timeline remains a target rather than a guaranteed launch.
Customers interested in visiting can follow Gooie on Instagram for opening announcements, menu updates and operating hours.
