LOS ANGELES — Sweet Lady Jane, a popular California bakery best known for its Triple Berry Cake, announced it has shut down after 35 years in business, with its last day of operations on Dec. 31, 2023.
“We did not come to this decision lightly nor quickly,” the bakery said in a statement. “While the support and loyalty of our customers has been strong, sales are not enough to continue doing business in the state of California, allowing us to service our lease obligations and pay our treasured employees a living wage without passing those costs directly on to you.”
Sweet Lady Jane was first established in 1988 by Jane Lockhart and expanded to six locations in California: Manhattan Beach, Calabasas, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Santa Monica and Encino.
