The person behind a local food truck that sells cookies is opening a permanent shop in the western suburbs of Boston.
According to a couple of sources, Kai Moreto is planning to open Elite Dough Cookies in Needham, moving into the former Cookies by Design space on Highland Avenue in Needham Heights (which Moreto also ran). An earlier Needham Local article mentioned that Moreto will also be keeping his food truck in operation, while the store will be offering the same "jumbo cookies" offered by the truck.
The address for Elite Dough Cookies in Needham is 54 Highland Avenue, Needham Heights, MA, 02494. Its website can be found at https://elitedoughcookies.com/
[March 11, 2026 update: A post from @jeremyk.bsky.social on Bluesky mentions that Elite Dough Cookies is now open in Needham.]
