Umpleby's Bakery & Café

Because of the storm we have decided to close today at around noon.   The sandwich station will be open today from 11am until then so if you want to pick up a sandwich to eat later when the power goes out come on by before then.

Be safe.

So there is a hurricane coming, eh?

Well,  we’ll be open on Sunday so come on by for a latte and watch and hear the rain and wind beating against the windows.    I would say the patio will be open but I guess that is silly to say unless you bring your oilskins

I used to work in the City at Gramercy Tavern while living in Brooklyn and I read how they are shutting down the subways at noon tomorrow.  While I guess I can understand their reasoning on expecting the worst I know it certainly would be a drag if I was still working there and had the Saturday PM shift.  I can assure you Danny Meyer didn’t pay us enough to take cabs from Carroll Gardens to Gramercy!  P.S. I loved the job but it wasn’t because of the money!!

So, I’ll be thinking of all you NYC kitchen staff tomorrow night. Good luck and Godspeed.

Sadly a lot of our terrific staff are returning to school now that the summer is coming to an end.  As a result, we are looking for people interested in working out front in the cafe and working back in the kitchen as a baker’s helper or lunch cook.  If interested please download our application and call or come by  an interview!
