Alejandra Jimenez
The Chocolate Chip Bakery is the go-to place for those who want to indulge in delicious food made from better-for-you ingredients. Owned and operated by executive pastry chef Alejandra Jimenez and her husband David Palmo, the bakery opened its doors in 2021 with the aim of catering to those with sensitivities to dairy, eggs, and gluten. Jimenez’s personal journey with dietary restrictions and allergies inspired her to develop a menu that is free of harmful components and full of flavor. Both Jimenez and Palmo are trained in the culinary field and the arts, and they offer artisanal breads and baked goods made from scratch, using only the finest ingredients available. The bakery has now expanded into a fully operating gluten-free, vegan restaurant and cafe that serves sandwiches, donuts, specialty coffee, and milkshakes. Whether it’s cakes, cookies, or savory foods, the bakery is committed to providing the best food that makes people happy. The bakery’s branding is centered around cartoon chocolate chip characters, which Jimenez created based on real people in her life. This unique touch adds a personal and whimsical element to the bakery’s identity, combining Jimenez’s love for art and illustration with her baking expertise.
