The Bainbridge Bakery, which was destroyed along with nine other businesses on Bainbridge Avenue last Halloween, has re-opened with a new a name and a new location.
The bakery, which suffered two devastating fires last year (the other happened in April) and is owned and operated by mother-son team Anna and Jon Mirdita, is reinventing itself as Anna’s Bakery and Cafe. It will fill two storefronts and feature a bakery as well as an area to enjoy sit-down dining for breakfast and lunch.
The new shop is located at 2125 Williamsbridge Road, between Pelham Parkway and Lydig Avenue. They officially open their doors on Saturday morning at 8 a.m. Through the early morning hours, they will be offering free coffee and perhaps other goodies.
