Where Flavor Reigns Supreme

Our story begins year 2002, in the city Phoenix, AZ. That is the year my parents opened their first bbq & soul food restaurant. From day one, they achieved a mass amount of popularity. One of the most popular and highly requested items was my mothers' peach cobbler! By 2007 we had three locations, one being located in Sky Harbor Int'l Airport. Even there, the peach cobbler would sell out daily. We could not keep them in stock! At that time we were just providing slices. My parents ended up shutting the family business down for good in 2011. Ever since, I have expressed serious interest in starting my own restaurant eventually. 

Queens of Cobbler as you know it was born in November of 2019. I guess you can say it was a light during a dark period. At the time, my mother (Verdie) had been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in July and she was currently undergoing chemo therapy treatment. During this treatment, she was having a lot of sleepless nights due to feeling physically ill. Considering her condition she was on a leave of work and thinking of ways to bring in a little more income. Well on one of these sleepless nights, she came up with the idea of selling the cobblers that were so popular once upon a time. I thought, "perfect!" And we set our minds to at least looking into it selling in our area. 

So after coming up with name and the logo, paying homage to my mother & her sisters, we began doing local deliveries here in San Jacinto, CA in November of 2019. We started to build a little buzz, however, the pandemic began shortly after and our plans were halted for what seemed like forever. So nothing moved for a year or so until August when my mothers twin sister (Vicki) was also diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer; and I was laid of from my full time due to the pandemic. 

So we began participating in a local Farmers' Market. And on our first day, the cobblers sold out! a few people recognized us or had heard of us but we were sure the hype was because we were new. But the buzz kept growing! So much so that I went to doing three markets weekly to wanting to be more available to the demands of the public. So we embarked on our journey to find a brick & mortar home. We found our original location at 249 East Main Street in the heart of San Jacinto. It was bare when we acquired it and we built it up to a commercial kitchen ourselves; laying tile, hanging chandeliers, painting, moving our oven and display case in. That was a proud moment  and we were ready for the public, opening our doors in December of 2021!

From there we hit the ground running, doing everything we could to build our name and grow our small family business. As a participant on Let's Make a Deal, she was even able to get a cobbler in Wayne Brady's hands! Alongside my Aunt Valeria. He loved it and even it made it 'The Deal of the Day'! The $200 cobbler! After the exposure we began shipping nationwide to be even more available but unfortunately, times were hard and life does not stop. The foot traffic and orders boomed and it unfortunately overwhelmed us and our capabilities to complete what we had and that created inconsistencies on our part as a small business- and for that we apologize. 

Our little bake shop was a pride and joy but unfortunately we had to close the door in July of 2023. And we have been quiet ever since. We do apologize for the disappearance. We had to take a step away and handle some real life things in order not to give up on our baby completely. Verdie is doing good and is cancer-free. Unfortunately my aunt Vicki's cancer did return and she is currently undergoing treatment again; (UPDATE: as of 7/10/2024 Vicki is cancer-free!). We appreciate all the love, support and understanding. And we are happy to be back and providing the desserts you love again!  We could not do this without y'all! We sincerely apologize for our disappearance but we still stand by our desserts and promise you will not be disappointed in these recipes. Feel free to check out our reviews on Yelp and Google.
