New Jersey Cheesecakes? Junior's Is Moving Bakery

The cheesecakes that made Junior’s famous have been baked in New York City, and only in New York City, for more than 60 years — but not for long.

On Monday, the owners of the restaurant, which has stood on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn since 1950, made the logistical and symbolic leap toward a new baking operation in Burlington, N.J. By July, most of the cakes and other baked goods that carry the Junior’s name will be made there, said Alan Rosen, a grandson of Harry Rosen, the founder of Junior’s.

The 103,000-square-foot building will replace a much smaller one in Maspeth, Queens, that has housed Junior’s main baking operation for 15 years, Mr. Rosen said. But he insisted that customers of the company’s four restaurants and its wholesale and mail-order businesses will not detect any slip in quality.
