Both Lauri and Kimberly have worked in tourism on Block Island, over 25 years. It wasn't until  later in their careers their paths crossed at Kimberly's restaurant. Lauri, a local first grade teacher, had been working shoulder seasons as a waitress. It was at the restaurant where they discovered that they both shared the same entrepreneurial dream of owning a cookie business. Lauri, surrounded by a family of bakers, has been baking since she was a young girl . Kimberly has been in the restaurant business over 30 years surrounding herself with some of the best bakers in the business in both Newport, RI and Mystic, CT. It is the combination of personalities, motivation, and experience that sets Block Island Cookie Company in the forefront. Lauri and Kimberly are dedicated to producing the finest cookies and sweet treats available on the island.
