When Capri Bakery's Melrose location opened, Welcome2TheBronx reported strong foot traffic right away, noting 'dozens of people have come and gone happily after purchasing their fresh baked delights' during the outlet's visit. The bakery sits half a block from Lincoln Hospital near the Hub, an intersection Welcome2TheBronx says sees over 200,000 pedestrians daily, second only to Times Square in the city.
A longtime customer told Welcome2TheBronx, 'I'm so happy they're finally open...Now I don't have to go far for a good bakery,' underscoring pent-up local demand from the original East Harlem shop's fans. No formal wait-time or line reporting beyond the steady in-and-out traffic described was available.
