Legendary Los Angeles bakery Sweet Lady Jane closed all six locations (Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Calabasas, Encino, West Hollywood, and San Fernando) on December 31, 2023, following 35 years of business. In an Instagram post and on the bakery’s website, the owners shared appreciation for its loyal customers while noting the challenges of running a bakery in California, “lease obligations,” and paying a living wage without increasing the costs of goods. The closure feels especially abrupt given the bakery’s newly renovated Encino store and planned expansion into Marina Del Rey and Larchmont; the West Hollywood shop closed at the end of last year for renovations.
Founder Jane Lockhart opened the original Sweet Lady Jane on Melrose Avenue in 1988 and built a strong following for her Triple Berry cake, a three-layer creation made of yellow butter cake filled with lightly sweetened whipped cream and a trio of fresh berries.
