Nestlé Toll House Café operated as a franchise across the United States and Canada, established by Ziad Dalal and Doyle Liesenfelt. In 2000, they introduced Crest Foods, Inc., operating under the name "Nestlé Toll House Café by Chip," headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Crest Foods acted as the primary franchisor, expanding cookie store franchises throughout the country in alignment with Nestlé USA's approach to rival the leading competitor Mrs. Fields Famous Cookies Inc. The café's offerings included a variety of cookies, cookie cakes, brownies, ice cream, milkshakes, smoothies, along with an extensive selection of hot and frozen coffee beverages. These outlets were commonly located within shopping malls and retail centers.
In May 2022, the California-based restaurant franchising firm FAT Brands acquired Nestlé Toll House Café for an undisclosed sum. By the close of 2022, every Nestlé Toll House Café location had been rebranded as Great American Cookies stores.
