Placing an order

The Tart is on temporary hiatus! Email us for special order requests
at laughingtart (at) gmail.com ... And save up those cookie cravings, we'll be back to regular business as soon as we can!

As a cottage-food kitchen located in Alexandria, VA, we are currently unable to ship orders. Orders are for local pickup only. We're hoping to add out-of-state delivery as we grow the business, so don't forget to check back in the coming year!

The Fine Print

We're a one-person, small-batch, artisan shop, and we'll be baking your cookies to order (so you get the freshest and most delicious cookie experience). The amount of time needed to process, bake, and pack your order for pickup will depend on your order size and our order volume. We turn around orders as quickly as possible, but your patience is greatly appreciated.

We try to confirm your order request within 24 hours of receipt, and let you know when you can expect to get your cookies. When things get really busy, we might need more time to schedule your order (if you haven't received a response after 24 hours, and you're feeling nervous, feel free to ping us at the email address below.) And remember, all good things are worth the wait!

Order pickup

We'll give you a pickup window when we confirm your order. Once your order is confirmed and paid, pickup is quick and contactless! We'll send you a notification on your pickup day when your cookies are ready. Our location is an Alexandria, VA, residence near George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate. Reply via text when you arrive and we'll bring your order out to your car (or motorcycle, or bike, or little red wagon). We'll be wearing a mask and observing safe social distancing.
