Description
Opened in the summer of 2014 by Akim Vann—a baker who also works as a student life coach and math tutor—The Bakery on Bergen operates under the philosophy of being '#More Than A Bakery.' The shop turns out a rich lineup of handcrafted confections, including cookies, cupcakes, and doughnuts. They are particularly known for their accommodating approach to custom cake orders, handling dietary restrictions and tight timelines with care. It functions as a community-minded, diverse local business that brings a personal touch to Prospect Heights.
