ABOUT US

The story of Famous Amos.

It all began in 1975 at a bakery on Sunset Boulevard. Big was in, but Wally Amos dared to go small and perfected the ultimate bite-size chocolate chip cookie. He used only the best ingredients from an original family recipe to create the cookie you know and love. From there, the Famous Amos story became a Hollywood success story. Iconic musicians and other Hollywood celebrities began singing the praises of the delicious cookies from a small bakery on Sunset.

Ever since then, Famous Amos has been committed to making a classic cookie from the highest quality ingredients.
