About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every day at exactly 3 PM, an old lady appeared from nowhere and stood in front of Mekato’s door for two minutes before vanishing just as quickly. No one else saw her—just him. Curious, he mentioned it to his colleagues. Over time, more drivers started noticing her too—but only when they were alone. One day, while delivering pastries to a neighbor, she even waved hello! Turns out, she was just an invisible friend who loved fresh bread.
2. Every night around midnight, a mysterious aroma wafts through the streets of Brooklyn. Neighbors sniff and wonder: is it coffee from Mekato's, or something more exotic brewing in the early hours? One night, a delivery driver pulled up outside, thinking he smelled freshly baked pastries. But when he opened his truck door, he found himself face-to-face with an enormous cookie—left there by a mischievous prankster who loved playing tricks on late-night workers. Everyone had a good laugh over that one.
3. A curious customer asked one day: ‘Why does Mekato’s smell like a tropical vacation even when it’s snowing outside?’ With a twinkle in his eye, Mekato replied, 'Because every morning I sprinkle a little bit of sunshine from Colombia right here.' A regular then whispered to his friend, 'I bet he uses more sunshine than flour!' And everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes the best places are those where winter feels just a little warmer.
4. A delivery driver once found an unusual package on the bakery’s loading dock—wrapped in colorful paper and tied with a bright ribbon, but completely unmarked. Curious, he opened it during his break, only to discover a small bag filled with freshly baked pastries. Surprised and delighted, the delivery driver quickly wrapped up the pastries and brought them back inside. Later that day, a regular customer asked if they had tried the new ‘specialty’ pastry—a flavor no one recognized. Turns out, it was just Mekato’s way of saying, ‘Happy Tuesday!’
