More than two years ago, a big sign went up on a Flatbush Avenue storefront near the corner of Prospect Place announcing the impending arrival of a business called “Da Cake Spott.” The shop then proceeded to sit empty until recently, when workers started fixing it up again. According to one of the guys on the job, it will be a physical therapy facility.

“Fish & Sip” is another Flatbush shop with a goofy name.

I second that obsession.

The cake sign was still up at least as recently as last weekend.
There’s an Almondine branch on 9th St. now? Oh no…it was only the inconvenience of getting to their DUMBO locale (opposite Jacques Torres chocolates yet, the Scylla and Charybdis of the hormonal female) that kept me from mainlining their almond croissants…must check out…
…can’t stand the absurd high price of Sweet Melissa, I can make most of that stuff myself (and often do); I love Three Little Ladybugs or whatever the one on 8th Ave./10th St. renamed itself, for the sublime artistry of their cake decorating (which I canNOT do); agree that most of the monster trendy cupcakes in Mannahatta are vile and absurd (half frosting, yuck) (but yes, in the Slope, a branch would be a license to print money); apparently they were popularized by Sluts & the City, I even saw a bus tour visiting Magnolia! Funny that a cupcake enterprise should by popularized by actresses with the BMI of stick insects.
Not sure when the above photo was taken but it is not physical therapy facility?
Looks to be another Tui-Na joint called Oasis.
Wish they had stores to serve my obsession – potato chips. How people choke down baked goods at such prodigious rates is incomprehensible to me.

is Almondine a ridiculous name? YES Colson? YES Sweet Melissa? DOUBLE YES
what’s an acceptable name for a bakery in your eyes?–
something simple like Butterfly’s Bagels or something. (and no i do not want to open a bagel shop, just giving and example) actually that is a TERRIBLE example.

“take yo wig off we eatin!”
The defunct place on 9th street was Delices De Paris.
I believe there was a nasty divorce involved which resulted in the new place on 7th street being opened by the ex-wife. Something like that.
