David Garcia Moraza (36 years old) and his partner, Laura Uhalde Barbarin they are the owners of The Cookie Shop en Pamplona. They both spent three years in London and learned how to make these homemade cookies, so when they returned they thought “why not” and decided to take a chance.
“When my partner Laura and I finished the race, we went to London to learn the language, work and find a little life for ourselves,” says García. He explains that at the beginning they went with the Leonardo scholarship and that little by little they were working in different sectors. “In our jobs there we got into the world of cookies and we found it very interesting,” he adds. David García also worked as a cook at the Olympics.
In London they saw many stores of these cookies and Ben’s Cookies in particular they liked very much. After spending three years in London they came back and “it seemed like a good idea to do something different and that we had learned there,” says the owner. This is how The Cookie Shop came into being in December 2013.
Now they have twelve varieties of cookies and the most demanded are apple and almond, triple chocolate and dark chocolate and walnut. “In terms of preparation, they are all similar, what makes the most difference is the type of audience. The people of Pamplona consume a lot of apples and almonds, but tourists go more to chocolate ”, says the owner of the place.
At specific times they also do some special editions that “yes they are more elaborate because they have more difficulty and cost in the elaboration and production”, he affirms. Some of these cookies have been blueberry and white chocolate or cheese and strawberry.
They are also specialized in specialty coffees like mocha. “We have coffees, different chocolates, for example white chocolate, which is not very common. Now in summer the consumption of cookies and coffees does drop a bit due to the heat, but we also offer natural fruit smoothies, shakes and frappes ”, explains David García.
