||| FROM JONI & JOHN TRUMBULL |||


Very dear friends and neighbors,

Joni and I would like to announce that as of November 30th, the old fire station building that Roses Bakery Cafe inhabited over these past years in Eastsound has new owners. Erin Gainey and Philip Kramer of Deer Harbor will be embarking on their new enterprise in the new year, and we are eager to watch its unfoldment. We welcome them into the business community, and look forward to becoming their good customers.

Also at this time we would like to let you know that we have been deeply touched by the recent outpouring of gratitude, love, and fond memories that have been shared regarding what Roses has meant to you over these past 30 years. It could not have existed without your wonderful support. We share these warm memories with you.

Finally, Joni and I would like to share our deepest gratitude to the many wonderful workers who made Roses what it was,- baking the great breads and desserts, cooking the delicious dishes, maintaining a welcoming environment, helping you to stock your larder, and prepare for your special occasions. Thank you, dear Roses crew!!!
