Settle Into Summer. Fall Into Place. 💙
After what feels like the longest, twistiest build-out ever, with more than two months of delays we couldn’t control (and rent that made us giggle-cry 🤣), we’re finally opening our new bakery this Friday at 12 PM!
Opening our fourth bakery, and our very first with a cozy café space, was supposed to be the sweetest next step… until our storefront literally became home to monster-sized temporary Con Edison power lines powering the entire building (thank you, Great Snow Melt of 2026 😅). Then came our equipment adventures (truly deserving of their own movie, starring one particularly memorable equipment person who seemed to be running what felt suspiciously like a Ponzi scheme 😂). It has been a saga.
Tonight (Thursday) will also be the final service at our little 80th Street shop. It’s bittersweet, but it feels right. Don’t worry, I’m not saying goodbye to my first child forever. We’re hanging onto that little space for future magical ideas. ✨
And because it’s a Janie’s opening, you know how we do it. We’ll have lots of samples, a fun raffle, great deals, and plenty of “buy some cookies, get something awesome free” surprises.
This summer is all about settling into our new home. We’ll be serving your Janie’s favorites while slowly adding cakes and pies (a sweet little nod to where it all began), plus a few new treats as we find our rhythm.
Then this fall, we’ll celebrate with our Fall Into Place Party and unveil a brand-new menu.
I’ve always dreamed of creating a place to connect. Somewhere you go when you don’t want the night to end. A place with incredible espresso that doesn’t cost a fortune, where you can meet your chosen people, sit, stay, and really be together. (Yes, there will be a no-laptop rule and a kid corner with books and crayons.)
I’m still a true bootstrap small business owner. I still get to say I own 100% of this company because you’ve kept our ovens on, one magical Pie Crust Cookie at a time. Every cookie, every Thanksgiving pie, every gift card, every online order, and every visit has built this place.
This little bakery belongs to all of us.
