## Story

CHICAGO – With spring in full bloom, a bright and craveable favorite is making its return to Potbelly. Beginning Monday, May 4, the fan-favorite Lemon Cheesecake Cookie is back for a limited time, giving guests a chance to enjoy the seasonal treat while supplies last.

Baked fresh in-shop daily, the Lemon Cheesecake Cookie features a soft, zesty lemon cookie base with rich, indulgent cheesecake pieces folded throughout, delivering the perfect balance of tart and sweet in every bite. Light yet satisfying, it’s seasonally refreshing and pairs perfectly with the brand’s signature sandwiches and salads.

“We know our fans love it when we combine craveable flavor combinations to create distinctly interesting cookies,” said Eric Chenel, Director of Consumer Insights and Innovation at Potbelly. “For those who are awaiting its return and for those who have yet to try it, the Lemon Cheesecake Cookie is definitely one to put on your list this spring.”

Joining the brand’s collection of daily cookies, including Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Sugar and Chocolate Brownie, the Lemon Cheesecake Cookie reflects the brand’s approach to using quality ingredients and in-shop baking.
