About
Our Story Founded in 1977 by Ms. Lea Malek, a holocaust survivor from Hungary, Malek’s Bakery opened at 1795 Monroe in what had previously been a bakery owned by Herman Storer. (Before that, the building was once the Brighton Town's offices and even has the old jail holding cell in the basement!) Ms. Malek baked cookies and pastries for daily treats, as well as breads and cakes for the Jewish sabbath and holidays.
