When we visited again later in the same week, we saw that the rolling planters had been moved.

Despite the concrete getting some TL, we spotted quite a bit of chipped paint that could use a touch-up.

While we were there, the entirety of the BoardWalk smelled of construction dust and paint — not ideal for dining al fresco.

Originally announced to have a 2023 opening timeframe, The Cake Bake Shop’s Facebook page now says they’re scheduled for an early 2024 debut. When it opens, it will be both a table service restaurant and a quick service bakery, serving breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, desserts, and cocktails.
