Maryam, 42, started Matryoshka’s in 2019 in the family’s St. George kitchen, she has focused largely on perfecting her almond-flour macarons. She built the business selling them at the original Good Times, directly online and to a few local coffee shops.
Matryoshka’s shares its South Burlington location with a second outpost of Hinesburg’s Good Times Café. Maryam and Travis Counter co-own the sister businesses; she runs the bakery, while he is chef-manager for both cafés. They opened their joint, counter-service eatery in late March in a bright space at the rear of the former Shelburne Road Uno Pizzeria & Grill, tucked behind a new NBT Bank branch.

"Matryoshka” is a Russian Nesting Doll. It represents family. The outermost doll is the mother in her traditional dress. The inner dolls are her children. With my three little ones, the name Matryoshka’s Bakery spoke to me, our family, and our kitchen—where everything is made with love.
