Shompa's Goods

Shompa, the founder of Shompa’s Freshly Baked Goods, grew up in NYC as a first-gen Bangladeshi-American from the little island of Sandwip.

She fell in love with baking at a young age (thanks to strict parents and lots of time in the kitchen) and got her first job at 17-years-old, running the back of a Jamaican vegan spot.

From there, she dove into NYC’s café and bakery scene, soaking up all things coffee, flavor, and pastry life. Even after a six-figure corporate career, she couldn’t shake her love for sweets.

After a year of baking hundreds of cookies and chasing the perfect flavor, she launched Shompa's—an artisanal cookie brand serving up soft-baked treats inspired by the South Asian and International flavors that made her who she is. She took a risk and soon pivoted to doing her best-selling South Asian cookies full time after leaving her corporate tech job. She soon appeared on Season 16 of MasterChef USA with Gordon Ramsay, being the first Bangladeshi-woman representing her South-Asian heritage, and feeding Gordon with a deconstructed version of her famous Roshmalai cookies.
