Plank Road Pizza owner to open Cottleville Cookies & Cream

Cottleville residents can look forward to a sweet summer as Plank Road Pizza owner Andrew Brewer plans to expand into desserts. Located at 5525 Oak St., Cottleville Cookies & Cream is set to open sometime in the late spring or early summer.

The transformed residential building is just a block away from Plank Road Pizza, and Brewer said the space will feature a large patio with seating for around 60 and a dining room that can accommodate around 30. Menu items will include house-made cookies, hand-scooped ice cream and Fitz’s bottled sodas.

“We want it to be a family thing,” Brewer said. “We’ve been making pizza and cookies and ice cream in my family since before I was born, and I wanted to bring that to Cottleville.”

Up to 12 different flavors of ice cream will be offered, all of which can be topped with a multitude of traditional ice cream toppings. As for cookies, chocolate chip is set to be the mainstay, while other recipes like rich gooey butter cookies will come and go depending on season and popularity.

Brewer said he hopes Cottleville Cookies & Cream will help build community in the St. Charles County town. “What I like most about Plank Road is the family atmosphere,” Brewer said. “I think that is what helps a community grow, having those things to go out and do in the daytime.”
