Henry’s Sweet Retreat & Bakery, located at 4823 St. Elmo Avenue in downtown Bethesda, will be closing in mid-December.
The dessert and candy store describes itself as “a modern take on an old-world sweet shop that will satisfy anyone and everyone’s sweet tooth.” Its menu features cookies, cupcakes, pies, birthday cakes, ice cream, fudge, fine chocolates, popcorn, acai bowls, coffee, and candy by the pound.
In April, Robert Dyer reported that the owners were seeking a buyer to continue operating the business beyond the lease term as they prepare for retirement. No buyer has been announced, and the lease ends on December 31.
