Sweet Melissa Closes Cobble Hill Location February 7, 2012, 11:41 am Melissa Murphy has closed her original Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, location of Sweet Melissa, in business since 1998, because of rising rent. She has now consolidated everything in the Park Slope location. "I'm really happy about doing this because it will also allow me to get back into the kitchen and bake instead of just dealing with the business side in two locations," Ms. Murphy said. I'm sorry to inconvenience our Cobble Hill customers but the rent hikes gave me no choice. She opened the Park Slope shop, at 175 Seventh Avenue (First Street), in 2006 and later expanded the Cobble Hill bakery with Sweet Melissa Crémerie.
