Craving something sweet and have your pup along for the ride? Head to Goodnight Fatty, a beloved weekend cookie spot that’s as welcoming to dogs as it is delicious.
Located right across from the dog-friendly Salem Common and the Hawthorne Hotel, Goodnight Fatty is easy to find and even easier to fall in love with. Open only on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, this cozy bakery dishes out warm, gooey cookies that locals and visitors line up for every weekend. The menu changes weekly, so there’s always something new to try. From classics like chocolate chip to inventive flavors like blueberry pancake or banana bread blondie, you never know what decadent combo you’ll discover. If you’re not into sweets (or just want to mix it up), they’ve got you covered with Good Morning Chubbies for a savory start to your day and Bedtime Chubbies for a late-night bite that’s not all sugar.
While pups can’t go inside, the outdoor terrace is warm and inviting. There’s nothing quite like enjoying a just-baked cookie under twinkling lights, with your dog lounging happily at your feet and the buzz of Salem all around you. Whether you’re visiting for the weekend or lucky enough to live here year-round, Goodnight Fatty is a must for anyone with a sweet tooth—and a pup who loves to tag along.
Local Tip: Bring a blanket and cozy up on the grass at the Common with your cookie haul if the terrace is full. Salem nights + sweet treats = pure magic.
