FAQ

Our company

Why was YES Bar founded?

• YES Bar was founded in 2012 in a mother’s kitchen in Los Angeles. Our founder, Abigail created these bars out of love for her son Arthur who suffered from various food allergies and food sensitivities.

Where are YES Bars made?

• YES Bars are made in a state-of-the-art, HAACP certified, bakery facility in Los Angeles.

Why the name YES Bar?

• Abigail was tired of saying NO to all the things her son was not able to eat. So, she took out all the yummy things in her kitchen he could say YES to and the YES bar was born.

Has the recipe changed at all?

• The recipe is still the exact same recipe that Abigail created in her kitchen all those years ago. We believe you shouldn’t mess with perfection.

Is it a bar or a cookie?

• YES Bars are shaped like a cookie because of our unique recipe and process. Abigail created them to be round for her son so that he thought he was eating a cookie. It’s a nutrition bar, shaped like a cookie, it’s a YES Bar.
