Mara's Cafe & Bakery - Denville

08/21/2022

Mara's Cafe & Bakery - Denville has officially left Denville. I wanted to take a moment and Thank Mara & Glen Magley for creating these delicious products and giving us decades of incredible desserts for our holidays, special occasions and daily dose of sweetness. I'm so grateful to of been able to keep this brand alive for the last 4 years.

Special Thank You to a few exceptional employees who made a huge difference & always gave their best. Front of the House Managers Joy DeLuca & Nancy Zotynia Loizou, Bakery Manager Beth Ann Garabrant Shalongo & "My Mara's Girls" Annie Clancy, Anna Torres, Marissa Fiumara, Paige Haltmeier & Rachel Brunner.
You are all Rock Stars! Thank you again and I'm glad you were all part of this journey.

Want to wish all the local small businesses the very best. It is not easy out there & hasn't been for awhile. Please continue to support your local small businesses.

If your looking for a custom cake, you can not find anyone better, is priced right or who cares more than Beth Ann's Custom Dessert Design. Her creativity, care & attention to detail was the driving force behind Mara's.

And Stay Tuned.....you never know where you might find Mara's classic products in the future.

Thank you and God Bless

This will truly be the last time you can buy Maras products at the denville location.
The mousse is in white boxes because someone bought all the brown maras boxes 🤣

It is with profound sadness and a broken heart that I announce the closing of Mara's Cafe & Bakery - Denville.
Our last day open will be Saturday, August 13. We will be offering all of great products & custom cakes up until the very last day.

I bought Mara's 4 years ago. I was a long time customer who was obsessed with their products (and still am) and that was the driving force behind my purchase. I couldn't imagine a world without Mara's.

Nothing was as it was represented prior to the sale. It was a long hard, expensive road, made much more difficult by 2 years of Covid, increased costs of supplies, significantly less business and who would ever think there would be an employee shortage!

This is the last thing in the world I wanted to do but it's the right decision at this time for me personally. I want to thank all of the Mara's customers thru the years. Thank you for letting us be a part of your special occasions and your lives. I want to thank all of our past and present employees and all of the restaurants we provide product for. Thank You All for allowing us to make your day delicious!

That being said - Mara's is FOR SALE! If anyone is truly interested, please contact me. The business is turnkey and all the equipment, recipes, established customer list and long standing name & brand is available at an extremely reasonable price. If not, we will be selling off all equipment and supplies.

Please refrain from any negativity on this post. This is difficult enough.
