Rumor confirmed: the old Music Emporium on Flatbush near Prospect Place is being turned into a bakery. Per the signage, Da Cake Spott is set open in the space, which we’ve been seeing workers rehab for a number of weeks. Anyone know who’s behind the new biz or when it’s gonna open? Competition for Fort Greene’s Cake Man Raven? GMAP

  1. back to the matter at hand… if this is truly a bakery I think its a welcome addition. by bakery I mean cookies, cakes, bread etc. I would love to find a place that had nice baked bread in the ‘hood. I totally agree with the first poster about the cake man raven too. first of all the cake is overrated and overpriced. also, the place is small and there’s usually a crowd to even get the cake. not to mention the ‘bakery’ is really a storage room for the small amount of cake they offer compared to the large demand of ppl who want it – they ALWAYS run out of cake. I can’t see how they stay in business

  2. “Guess it’s supposed to broadcast that it’s a black-owned business.”

    The mis-spelling of “the” as “da” is hip-hop slang. Black people are really not the only ones who use this. I would say that owner is advertising his/her age and musical preference more that his/her skin color.

    I highly doubt a 50 yr old black person would name his/her bakery this way.

    “hopefully the owner will read this and consider a name change…

    something a little less rough sounding perhaps. ”

    Because gentle people never misspell.

    C’MON PEOPLE- It’s the name of a business. It’s meant to attract attention, which it obviously did. Can we not make assumptions/criticisms about everything.

  3. Time will tell whether the name of this new establishment matters cause if the product is good who cares what they call it. There is a seafood place in Brooklyn called Get it and git….silly name, delicious food, lines out the door.
