What Type of Business Should Replace Sweet Melissa?

The recently shuttered bakery leaves behind many possibilities.

was a fixture of the Cobble Hill neighborhood for 14 years, serving up French-American inspired pastries, snacks and desserts from miniature madeleines to bread puddings to cupcakes and even ice cream and savories—all dreamed up by chef and owner Melissa Murphy.

due to rising rental costs and choosing instead to focus on the Sweet Melissa Park Slope location on Seventh Avenue, the space at 276 Court Street between Butler Place and Douglass Street now sits vacant.

What should take Sweet Melissa's place?

The block is already occupied by other restaurants, realtors, , Cobble Hill Fitness Collective and multiple toy stores. So what type of new business would contribute most to the neighborhood's needs? Another dry cleaners? A home decor shop? A butcher? A florist? Vote in the poll below. Or, if you have an original idea of your own, share it in the comments section below!
