There’s a new cookie in town

Pete Solomita has opened Little Buddy Biscuit Company, which sells great cookies and, apparently, cupcakes, too.

Sometimes you just need a good cookie.

This was Pete Solomita’s “Eureka” revelation. A longtime chef, he came to this realization when he was between jobs and found himself hanging out at coffee shops with his young son, Jack.

“No one had a good cookie,” he said.

Hence, the Little Buddy Biscuit Company was born.

Initially operating out of Solomita’s apartment, the company supplied some of the increasing number of coffee shops in the South Slope with baked goods.

But last month, Solomita (pictured) put out his own shingle on Fifth Avenue, near where he has lived for 30 years. The product line has expanded to about a dozen cookies (don’t miss the Oaxachan chocolate chunk, with not too much cinnamon and chili), brownies, lemon bars, birthday cakes and savory treats such as a cheddar and black pepper biscuit and a red pepper and feta muffin (it’s a standout).
