If you’re walking by @marketonbroadwaynewport during the weekend or school vacation, chances are high that there’s a line out the door. There’s no shortage of food options inside, from savory sandwiches to tasty gluten-free cookies. 

These choices aside, you can bet money that this hungry line is waiting for a sourdough-based cinnamon roll from @codoughbakery, a relatively new business that local sweet tooths consider a city staple.

“There’s no better feeling than people saying that they love it,” says Courtney Brockwell, Co-Dough’s creator. “Curating a product that people enjoy is so satisfying.”

It’s hard to imagine Newport without Co-Dough, but Brockwell never imagined opening the beloved baking business. After graduating from the University of Rhode Island with a degree in fashion, she was an assistant for a cast member of TODAY Show segments. Eventually, she realized she was unhappy with her then-career path and returned home to Connecticut.

“I wanted to do my own thing,” she recalls. “I quit without anything lined up, so I was baking during all my time off. Then everyone was like, ‘you have to sell this!’”

Brockwell was hesitant—she had never worked in the food industry. She saw her sweet treats as a passion, not a paycheck. Her sister took matters into her own hands and created the Co-Dough Instagram account in 2023.

In July 2025, Co-Dough opened in Market on Broadway, and Brockwell began building its brand. She spent every day urging customers to tell their friends about her creations.

She didn’t stop there. “I would go out on the town and bring a stack of business cards to hand out,” she says.

Months later, Brockwell received a message from @perks_eats, beloved Rhode Island foodie, with a request to try Co-Dough. After he posted his review in November, Brockwell had her first line out the door. 

Business hasn’t been the same since—Co-Dough has gone from making 600 cinnamon rolls a month to selling 800 a day on weekends. 

“The path aligned perfectly for me,” she says. “I feel like I’m where I’m supposed to be.”

Visit Courtney and @codoughbakery at Market on Broadway! 🤤🥖
