Back in May, we reported that Rossy's Bakery & Café, located at 242 E. Third St., between Avenue B and Avenue C, would soon be closing after 15 years in business.
Owner Roselia "Rossy" Caba cited rising costs and her mother Norma Ortiz's planned retirement as reasons for the closure.
As the end nears, Rossy wants people to know the doors stay open — and she hopes neighbors will continue stopping by to order her food while they can. Norma is still in the kitchen, baking cakes, though Rossy isn't sure for how much longer.
The business, minus the name, is available for sale as a turnkey operation, complete with the lease, equipment, and location. (Find the listing here.)
Over the years, Rossy's has built a loyal following with affordable lunch plates, including BBQ ribs and baked chicken with rice and beans, as well as empanadas, smoothies, and, of course, Norma's Dominican-style cakes.
For now, the family-run café is still here — one more chance to get a plate, a pastry or a slice of cake before the lights go out.
