Bennett St Dairy: Bondi cafe behind ‘game-changing’ cookie dough sells out in just ONE day

A Bondi café that launched its popular cookie dough mix in Woolworths stores has sold out of stock in only one day. 

Bennett St Dairy is known for serving specialty coffee and fresh food, but the pre-packaged cookie dough has become the café’s cult favourite among customers.

Co-founder James Meek, 38, told Daily Mail Australia he received the ‘unexpected’ call from Woolworths earlier this year to discuss a possible partnership trial.

He said the interest likely sparked after the café started stocking the 500g packs of cookie dough in smaller retailers – including Romeo’s IGA. 

Customers can choose from the original cookie dough or white chocolate and macadamia dookie cough for $13 for 500g.

The huge chunk of cookie dough makes between eight small to one giant cookie, allowing customers to decide for themselves how big or small they’d like the cookies to be.

Across participating Woolworths stores James said the cafe was selling 300 packets of the cookie dough per week. 

‘We were surprised from the response because we’re not a huge marketing machine, simply a small business,’ James said. 

‘But we’re thankful for the support from our loyal Sydney customers.’  

Last year the business introduced a delivery service at the start of the Covid-19 crisis after James and his business partner Cliff Baskin, 34, shared a post on Instagram stating they are selling excess cookie dough. 

The business sold 100 kilograms of dough in only two hours and soon decided to offer the new delivery service to customers.
