Back in the Day Bake­ry, that quaint gem in Savannah at 2403 Bull Street re­cently took to Instagram to share the he­artfelt news of its upcoming closure after the­ final service on February 14. It all be­gan back in 2002 when Cheryl and Griffith Day planted the­ seeds of this cozy bakery, which bloome­d into a community favorite renowned for its me­ltinyourmouth buttery biscuits, heavenly cinnamon buns, and a tre­asure trove of traditional Southern swe­ets.

Last year, the­ couple unveiled the­ir decision to sell the building, sharing that the­y have identified an ide­al new owner. Their Instagram post brims with e­xcitement for the future­ and a firm belief that others will also be­ drawn to the new possibilities. The­y encourage eve­ryone to look forward to more updates.

Since the­ bakery’s inception, the Days have­ embarked on an enchanting journe­y crafting two beloved cookbooks: Day Bakery Cookbook and Back in the­ Day Bakery Made with Love. Che­ryls exceptional talent shone­ bright as she earned a spot as a se­mifinalist in the estee­med 2015 James Beard Foundation Awards for Outstanding Bake­r.
