Join the Ruckus Cookie Club
Southern treats, modern values. Always baked from scratch.
Ruckus Bakehouse is a playful new cookie concept in Nashville, TN focusing on seasonal, regional, and high quality ingredients.
Journey through nostalgic classics and modern concepts that honor heirloom recipes while pushing the boundaries of what a cookie can be. You’ll find a menu that changes with the seasons to support local farmers and purveyors of southern and exceptional ingredients. You won’t find any artificial extracts, food dyes, or novelty royal icing here — only recognizable ingredients that bring you the best flavor possible. A portion of all sales are redirected to local social justice & mutual aid efforts. Let’s build a better Nashville together, one cookie at a time.

A NOTE FROM JENNA, BAKER & OWNER
Every Ruckus recipe draws inspiration from my southern roots, personal travels, and passion for science to create nostalgic, understated treats with a nod to modernism.
As a southern woman who identifies as queer and neurodivergent, I know how important it is to bring people together and make them feel comfortable as themselves — hospitality is in my veins. I believe human connection begins in the kitchen. Ruckus is all about kinship, community, and challenging the status quo so that we can make tangible connections across race, class, gender, abilities, and backgrounds. From my hands to yours, I hope these cookies bring people together to fight for a better future.
When I’m not sourcing ingredients, relentlessly recipe testing, and dancing around the kitchen as if my life is a musical, you can find me: renovating my mod house, creating in my art studio, snuggled under an heirloom quilt with a good book, or insisting folks describe their favorite childhood dessert to me (I can’t wait to hear about yours!).
