About Us
The Brand
Peculiar Pastries is a licensed New York cannabis brand specializing in small-batch, artisanal infused cookies. Rooted in over a decade of NYC legacy experience, we craft cookies with high-quality ingredients, premium extracts, and uncompromising standards.
Every cookie is made with intention—from flavor and texture to consistency and effects. Our signature infusion blends THC with cannabis-derived full-spectrum CBD, designed for a smoother, more balanced experience.
Peculiar Pastries began as an underground kitchen run by a native New Yorker who believed edibles should taste like real dessert—long before legalization. We grew through the legacy market by doing things differently, and we still operate with that same integrity today. Now fully licensed in New York State, we continue to produce small-batch infused cookies built on craft, discipline, and detail.
Born in Queens. Baked in tradition. Elevated by science.

The Founder
Cookies—especially the chocolate chip cookie—have been my favorite sweet for as long as I can remember. My parents have told me all my life that after "mama" and "dada," my next word was "cookie"—and I said it while taking my first steps, chasing one across the kitchen floor.
Cannabis entered my life young—part curiosity, part rebellion, part escape. Over time, it became something steadier: a thread through different chapters of life that helped me slow down, open up creatively, and stay present.
I went on to attend the School of Visual Arts and spent years working in NYC's art world—assisting professional artists, managing studios, and handling work for galleries and museums. Art trained my eye for craft and detail—texture, balance, finish, intention—and those standards eventually carried into the kitchen.
I also spent years moving through the city as a bike messenger, a job that builds real discipline, resilience and a rare relationship with New York itself. That experience later led to running my own courier company, and eventually into cannabis delivery, where I learned production at scale—consistency, workflow, and quality control—from the ground up.
During that era, I began developing edibles—starting with a chocolate chip cookie. I refined it through years of small-batch testing with one rule: a great cookie first and foremost, with consistent effects you can rely on. Under Peculiar Pastries, the menu expanded and the brand earned a reputation for originality and repeat customers—not trends.
When legalization reshaped New York almost overnight, the market changed fast. I adapted by expanding wholesale relationships and continuing to meet demand as the culture and distribution landscape shifted. In November 2024, my New York State processor application was approved through the SEE program.
Since then, the focus has been clear: elevate everything to the highest standard. That meant building a compliant GMP kitchen, working with consultants and food scientists, and redeveloping recipes for shelf stability—without sacrificing the quality and character that built the brand in the first place.
Today, Peculiar Pastries is the refined evolution of that legacy: Queens-born, small-batch, handmade cannabis-infused cookies made with quality ingredients and lab-tested consistency. Because just because it's infused doesn't mean it shouldn't be delicious.
And that's what "Bakes Life Better" means: a cookie that improves the moment—whether you're getting through a long day, adding ease to the routine, or turning something good into a celebration.
