What a shame, sounds like they were incredibly hard working and really tried hard to make it work. Wonder how long their store will be empty before they find someone to fill it. Working with someone on the rent is better than no rent at all.
My wife was telling me about this today. Pretty disappointing. But also kinda sad they had to work so so hard at it.
After hearing about them on the podcast, I knew I had to tell my wife. She's a native New Yorker that's always on the lookout for a 'taste of NY' here in Orlando. We luckily have a great NY style pizza place near us; but this bakery was the tops for her. I guess our search for another "New York" bakery starts again.
