This used to be the back way; now it's the main entrance.
The facade is painted in the orange of the Tuck-It-Away self-storage company; service bays that used to admit Ebinger delivery trucks now accommodate passenger vehicles and rental vans. The entrance to the bakery offices, on the far side of the building, has been bricked in and painted white, but not recently. Shown at bottom: an old-building-edge protector, something like a bollard, beside a driveway.

By email, an EIT reader writes that "they made the world's best brownies. And blackout cake. Both were staples at my grandmother's house."

They made the world's best EVERYTHING: Bee Cake, Chocolate Cream Pie, Boston Cream Pie, Layer Cake, Sticky Buns, Petit Fours, Pullman Loaves, butter cookies, cupcakes, coconut cake, I can happily go on. Losing them was a greater tragedy to Brooklyn than losing the Trolly Dodgers.

I would absolutely KILL for a piece of Ebinger's bee cake! I used to work at an Ebinger's and discovered what truly fine baked good were. Tragic that they couldn't stay in business; many broken hearts there!
