(OPENPRESS) October 20, 2009 -- Harlem, get ready for Tonnie's Minis. Tonnie's Minis, New York's top destination for classic, moist and flavorful cupcakes will be having their Grand Opening on Monday October 26th for their new Harlem location, located at 264 Lenox Avenue. Already soothing the sweet tooth of many New Yorkers with a cupcake shop in Greenwich Village, known as a true bakery "gem" of the city, Founder and CEO, Tonnie D. Rozier III is expanding his cupcake and coffee shop business to make Tonnie's Minis a household name.
"Harlem's own was the first response I received after mentioning the possibility of bringing cupcakes to Harlem." says Rozier who resided in Harlem during his early childhood and again after college. "Who knew that a small mixing bowl and a hand mixer at age 7 would evolve to this? An abundance of support from family & friends has allowed my love for baking to come to fruition and bring Tonnie's Minis to Harlem. I would like to thank all the customers over the years who continue to support and share the experience with others for without you, Tonnie's Minis would not have found its way back to where it all began. As Harlem continues to be known for offering the finest foods and desserts, we recognized a void…cupcakes!!! Harlem has welcomed us with open arms, we are extremely proud to be part of a neighborhood thriving with new businesses and residents and so accepting of new ideas."
With indoor and outdoor seating, coffee and espresso bar, and undeniably the most delicious cupcakes in town, Tonnie's Minis will sure to become Harlem's dessert oasis. Tonnie invites his customers to pull up a stool at the bar seating inside, or relax in their backyard which is also available for private cupcake parties. As for the treats, Tonnie's Minis will still have their same, moist, flavorful cupcakes like the signature Carrot Dream, and Death by Chocolate in a variety of sizes to fit your sweet tooth, as well as cakes, cookies and newly introduced hand dipped ice cream. Look out for a signature Harlem cupcake with the option to have an ice cream filling.
Tonnie's Minis Cupcake Bar opened in 2005 by Founder and CEO, Tonnie Rozier. Only one of five cupcake retailers at the time, Tonnie belongs to the group of originators of the cupcake craze as his recipes are all uniquely crafted. Compared to their well-known competitors, Tonnie's Minis is on a level of its own with cupcakes that have the most flavorful icing and moist cake that can be found in New York City.
Now with Rozier's eyes on expanding his dessert empire, Tonnie's Minis Cupcake is coming to Harlem with the anticipation of opening additional locations across the 5 boroughs.
