Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are Joanie’s Cheese Straws?
Joanie’s Cheese Straws are a crispy, Southern-style snack with bold cheddar, a hint of spice, and a whole lot of heart. Baked with love in New Orleans, they’re dangerously addictive—once you open the bag, there’s no turning back!
2. Are your cheese straws made with real cheese?
Absolutely! We use 100% real sharp cheddar cheese in every batch. No shortcuts, no substitutes—just rich, savory, cheesy goodness in every bite.
3. Do you offer gluten-free options?
Not just yet, but we’re testing recipes in the kitchen as we speak. Stay tuned by signing up for our newsletter—you’ll be the first to know when we launch!
4. How should I store my cheese straws?
Keep them cool, dry, and sealed tight once opened. They're best enjoyed within 2–3 weeks (if you can hold off that long!). Want to stash some for later? They freeze beautifully for up to 6 months.
5. Do you offer local pickup or delivery?
Yes to pickup! If you’re in the Greater New Orleans area, select Local Pickup at checkout. Pickup is every Wednesday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at 4228 Eve Street, New Orleans, LA 70125.

9. What’s your return policy?
