Several readers have noted the for-lease sign hanging in the window at Elisa's Love Bites, the gluten-free dessert shop at 441 E. Ninth St. just west of Avenue A.
The storefront is now closed... though, based on a recent Instagram post (see below), we're guessing that the business will continue in service online at the very least.
After nearly four years in Brooklyn, owner-pastry Elisa Lyew moved to this storefront in March 2020. Elisa's Love Bites had its fans (the imported coffee from Panama was a hit).
You can follow the shop's link tree or Instragram for any business updates.
The landlord of this building is Icon Realty. They are one of the worst of the worst to infiltrate our neighborhood over past few years.
ReplyDeleteElisa is an absolutely lovely person. Best of luck to her! I agree with the previous post. The owners of this building, Icon Realty, are just awful to residential and commercial tenants. I live in a neighboring building and have watched so nice people over the years being treated like garbage by Icon beginning in 2014 when they forced long time tenants out. 2016 Icon settled a harrassment case with the AG of NY and this building was central to the case but it changed very little with the way Icon does business.
ReplyDeleteicon realty raised my rent by over $2,500. they offered to give me $25 off when I called to ask if it was a joke. obviously, i had to move. They are a horrible company
