Buckhead's Piece of Cake is on the move! The popular cake shop and bakery is moving from its current and longstanding home in a freestanding building at 3215 Roswell Road to a space within Buckhead Court (3872 Roswell Road), just under a mile away.
Cartel Properties, which owns the existing Piece of Cake property, is already marketing it for lease. In the offering, the firm indicates that a new daycare is coming to the former Buckhead Saloon property next door which it also owns, but which has sat vacant since an October 2022 fire destroyed the building.
The planned move comes just over one year after Atlanta-based Chicken Salad Chick acquired what was then the 10-unit Atlanta bakery business. There are currently eight standard bakery locations - Buckhead, Camp Creek, Collier Road, Decatur, Dunwoody, Johns Creek, Kennesaw and Vinings, plus a licensed location on Terminal A at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Piece of Cake has over the past year or so closed two locations, one on Peachtree Street in south Buckhead and another on North Point Drive in Alpharetta. The North Point shop, located in Stone Walk at Northpoint, was perhaps the only location situated in a space next door to an existing Chicken Salad Chick.

Piece of Cake was founded in 1985 by Melissa Bunnen Jernigan, who continues to serve as the company’s “Cakexpert.”
Sources close to the bakery tell ToNeTo Atlanta current plans call for a nearly seamless transition from one location to the next shortly after the first of next year.
ToNeTo Atlanta reached out to representatives for Piece of Cake [Chicken Salad Chick] regarding the Buckhead shop and plans for potentially more stores, but did not receive an immediate reply.
