Staccato Bakery was founded by Saleem Ahmed, a Cornell MBA and former finance professional turned DJ and event producer. The name “Staccato” captures that mix of rhythm and flavor—cookies crafted with balance, intention, and love. The bakery blends his love for music with a knack for precision and quality.
Staccato cookies have always been a family affair. Guided by a history of diabetes in the family, Saleem refined recipes over years of experimentation and care alongside his mother to create balanced, thoughtful sweets that everyone could truly enjoy.
That same spirit of love, history, and precision still shapes every batch we make today.
From donating to fundraisers and galas to surprise giveaways for those “in the know,” sharing what we bake has always been our way of sharing love.
