Sweet 16th Bakery, located at 311 N 16th Avenue in East Nashville, has announced it will close.
Their last day of operations will be October 29th.
Dan and Ellen Einstein have owned the bakery for almost 20 years. In a social media post, they shared, “Over 18 and a half years ago, Dan and I had this crazy idea to open a bakery in East Nashville. We didn’t really know what we were doing, we just knew that we wanted the business to be an integral part of our community in East Nashville. Each year that went by, we didn’t know how we would continue, but somehow we did. Dan got sick in 2012 but he pushed through every day, even after his chemo treatments. We worked very hard together to make Sweet 16th Bakery a hub in our community.”
It continued, “After Dan passed in January, I knew that returning to the place we built together from the ground up needed to reopen. But now, after time has passed, Dan is not by my side anymore and it has gotten very hard to continue on.”
The message ended by saying, “So as of October 29th, I will be closing Sweet 16th Bakery and moving on to a new chapter in my life. East Nashville is such an amazing place to live with such an amazing community. We could not have done this without your love and support for all of these years. You will always have a special place in my heart.”
Hours of operation for the bakery are Thursday – Saturday, 8 am – 1 pm.
