What Led to the Closure
In the official announcement, the team mentioned that for the last 6-7 years, the bakery has been struggling at the Tacoma location.
“With COVID, the downturn of the economy, and other factors, customers have had to choose between treats and necessities for them and their families,” added the team. The owners also cited a recent rent increase of nearly $2,000 per month.
The owners encouraged customers to continue visiting the brand’s other locations. The brand continues to operate locations in Issaquah, Covington, and Kent Station, among other Washington communities.
