Sad news! I just received news from Tim over at Chemical Cake that Sweet Melissa, the patisserie on Court Street near Douglass Street, has closed its doors as of today.
Sweet Melissa has been a part of this community since 1998, starting with one storefront and then expanding into the neighboring store a few years later.  Melissa's will be missed by many.
According to a note in the window from owner Melissa Murphy, she will be combining this location with her store in Park Slope (175 7th Avenue).
She writes: "We have been a member of this community for many years, and have thoroughly enjoyed being part of your family's special occasions.  For many of you, I have made your engagement cake, your wedding cake, your baby shower cake, and your baby's Fisrt Birthday cake. Having been part of your life in this way has truly been an honor, and I look forward to being a part of many wonderful event in the future."
I suppose Park Slope is not too far to travel for Melissa's delectable baked goods, but It sure isn't the same as being able to stop by the store on Court Street.

'Amgula' And 'Quiesh': Spell Check Needed At Court Street Eatery!

In front of Sweet Melissa's on Court Street

How does an Amgula and Brie Omelette sound? Or how about a Mushroom Gruyère Quiesh?

I know what you are going to say, dear Reader. Yes, yes, we all make spelling mistakes, including yours truly. I also know that spell check has not been invented for blackboards yet.

All the more important to check and make sure that the daily menu announced in front of one's eating establishment is checked before public viewing.

Just saying...because a 'quiesh' certainly does not sound appetizing. Unless, of course, its an 'amgula quiesh.'
