Leons Bakery gone?
Don't remember the name of the bakery that was at Flatbush & Flatlands - just that it was there, moved from Flatbush to Canarsie when I was six.
But I do want to let all know that Tinas Cake Fair is still going strong on Ralph Ave., between Farragut and Foster Avenues. Was just there tonight. Still run by the same family, Aaron still keeps his hand in all the baking. Without question there are no competitors within a half hour ride of my Canarsie location that are worth mentioning in the same sentence.
Like everyone says, everyone has their own favorites. I have to mention their Scotch Brownie and Munn (poppyseed) Roll. Great breads and onion rolls too.

I think you refer to Sterns Bakery. It was a German Jewish bakery at J & E.12th street. They also made the best Rasberry Russian Tea Cakes I ever tasted. Unfortunately they went out of bussiness more than 20 years ago. Grey.
