“We’re thrilled to bring our tradition of small-batch, scratch-baked excellence to Coffee Cup Overflowing,” said Donna Drury-Heine, CEO of Blue Chip Cookies. “As a company rooted in the Cincinnati area for over 40 years, it’s incredibly meaningful to grow just up the road in Hamilton—with a partner who shares our values of quality, community, and craft.”
Joseph Bakhit, owner of Coffee Cup Overflowing, shared his longtime connection with the brand:
“I’ve loved Blue Chip Cookies since the mid-’90s and even looked into franchising back then. About 10 years ago, I met Donna in a coffee shop and kept her business card. When I reached out a couple of years ago, she told me about their licensing model—it was the perfect fit for our café. We’re thrilled to bring these incredible cookies to Hamilton. They pair perfectly with our gourmet coffee—and now we’ve added premium ice cream too. It’s going to be a sweet journey for our community.”
In addition to its growing retail presence, Blue Chip Cookies operates a national online store, shipping gourmet cookie gifts nationwide for birthdays, celebrations, and corporate gifting. Recent expansion includes new licensed locations in Sherman, TX (opened October 2024) and Valencia, CA (opening July 2025)—marking a new chapter of coast-to-coast cookie joy.
