Bryant Jones, Co-Founder & Baker
We like to say that Bryant Jones, our head baker, doesn't have a sweet tooth; he has sweet teeth! Growing up, Bryant spent summers - and at times a few years - living with his grandma, Sweetie, when his mom had military assignments overseas. Sweetie made everything from scratch, and Bryant absorbed these cooking skills and would serve decadent desserts and treats to friends and family, some of which were based on family recipes.

Andrea Jones, Co-Founder
Andrea Jones is one of five kids and the kitchen has always been at the heart of her childhood home. She’s fondly dubbed the chief taster in the Bee J’s Cookies kitchen! Andrea’s background is in communications and public relations. After meeting Bryant and tasting his delicious desserts, she helped craft the Bee J’s Cookies brand. Andrea met Bryant in 2018, and the two were married in 2025.
