Northwest Side bakery closes after recent rain causes water intrusion

SAN ANTONIO – Water seeped into a Northwest Side bakery during recent rain, damaging the ceiling and flooding the floor.

Sweet Cheeks Bake Shop shared photos and video with KSAT showing water on the floor near the windows and damaged ceiling tiles after Thursday’s rain.

In an Instagram story, the shop said it’s been dealing with an ongoing roof issue that requires repair from its landlord or property management.

“Unfortunately, the water intrusion is still ongoing this morning and conditions are just as bad as yesterday,” the shop told KSAT. “We are remaining closed today because we cannot safely operate under these conditions.”

The shop said it is unclear if it will reopen Saturday, and reopening will depend on addressing the water intrusion and ensuring the space is safe for the team and customers.

The closures are significantly impacting the bakery shop, with employees, customer orders and inventory already affected for the week, Sweet Cheeks Bake Shop said.

“As a small business, every day we are forced to close has a significant impact,” the business said.

Despite the difficult situation, the owner expressed gratitude for the community’s support.

“We’re incredibly thankful for our community. So many people have reached out asking how they can help, and that support has meant so much to us,” Sweet Cheeks Bake Shop said.

Sweet Cheeks Bake Shop is located at 6019 Callaghan Road.
