Ivy's plans multiple bakings per day...

Ivy Bakery is now open on 138 W. Houston.  I happened to walk by the night of their soft open and scored a 2-hour-old chocolate cupcake that was excellent.  Ivy seems to have a larger than normal array of baked goods (pies, scones, cupcakes, cakes, cookies) and the best part is they will be featuring, multiple, fresh bakings per day.  So that means hot scones, fresh pie and other treats at 10pm.   They also have a DJ console and dark, woody tables to chill at.  More soon.

Ivy Bakery Website is here .  Their Facebook page is here.

Hours: Mon – Wed: 7:00 am - 11:00 pm, Thu – Sat: 7:00 am - 2:00 am, Sun: 7:00 am - 11:00 pm
