Where community, cooking & creativity come together

Browse our boutique, host your own gathering, or take a class with one of our expert chefs. Cranberry & Rose is the South Shore’s space for celebration, education and the pleasure of sharing food.

We share what brings us joy…

And we offer our space so that others can do the same. Through gatherings, classes and clubs (ours or yours), and through the products we sell in our boutique, we unite people around learning, playfulness, and the sharing of food.

  • Find the dishes, decor, specialty foods and cookware that we’re wild about. Our themed, ever-changing selection will keep you coming back.

  • Want to host a party in our space? In your home? At a park? We can help plan, develop recipes, create menus, or decorate the tables.

  • We offer our own classes (at the boutique or in your home), and host people who are seeking a place to teach theirs.

  • Through our monthly buyer’s club, we offer bulk goods for less than you’d pay at the store. Our “mixer of the month” club supplies you with delicious fixing for a monthly mocktail or cocktail. Stay tuned for our other offerings.

know us

Owner Laurie Alta Roth draws on inspiration from her Italian family's love of food and hospitality to create the warm, welcoming vibes at Cranberry & Rose. An experienced event planner and caterer, Laurie is an expert at customizing events so that they are one-of-a-kind. After a cancer diagnosis, she dedicated herself to creating a "third space" in Cohasset, where people can gather and build community around delicious food, art and fun activities.

Teaming up with Laurie is cooking teacher, chef and manager Suzanne Podhaizer. Suzanne discovered a passion for food at an early age, and taught herself to cook from her mother's cookbooks. An avid gardener and forager, she loves demystifying the cooking process and helping people feel more confident and joyful in the kitchen. She also seeks out gorgeous artisan food products and crafts for our shelves.

As part of their work at Cran & Rose, Laurie and Suzanne are available for event planning, recipe and menu development, creating personalized gifts for special occasions, kitchen design and decoration, and more. 

Local Chrissy McCormack and her son, Aidan, are C&R’s all-around support people, and you’ll see their smiling faces when you visit for classes and events.
