Today is the last day for Sweet Generation on 1st Avenue

ICYMI from Dec. 24: After nearly six years at 130 First Ave. between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place, Sweet Generation is closing its bakery ahead of a move to a larger location in Brooklyn.

And today is their last day, when they'll be open for curbside preorder pickup only ... taking orders by phone: (646) 964-5777. (And they have flash sales via their Instagram Stories.) 

Sweet Generation partners with several nonprofit organizations and local high schools to create an internship program that teaches baking, food safety, customer service, work readiness, and entrepreneurship to teens and young adults from low-income communities.

    I finally made it to their Bushwick location a few days ago only to learn it was their last day in business. Really sad to hear as it was a beautiful space and, of course, supported the Girls Club. I really hope they can have another go of it somewhere.
