On a month-to-month lease, 9th Street Bakery hopes to last through the summer

Back in January, we first reported that 9th St. Bakery, which has been around since 1926, will have to close due to a huge rent hike ... and a downturn in business.

EVG reader Dave M. from 13th St. originally told us the sad news. He provided an update from Oleg, who has owned the bakery with his wife Tetyana since the 1990s.

The bakery is currently on a month-to-month lease with the landlord, who will give them 30-days notice when he needs to terminate. It is not known whether the landlord is actively seeking a new tenant at this time. So Oleg thinks there is a good bet that the bakery may last the summer into the fall.

Good news for now, anyway.

    Yay! But they've raised prices: babka went to $6.95 from 6.50, and rolls from .50 to .75 and no 2 for 1.00 deal...

    Considering their circumstances it's completely understandable.
    Great little spot, hope they exist for a long time.

    Pased by there on a recent Sunday afternoon and wanted to stop by to get get a drink and a snack so that I can think, and the place was packed. Didn't have a place for me to sit down. Hope this goes on for a while. Good for them.
