Thinking she might retire, Mildred enlisted her son, Michael to run the restaurant. She continued to work five days a week until her death in 2003 at the age of 89. In 2006, Michael expanded the restaurant’s services to offer full service catering, specializing in large and small corporate events.
Mrs. Rowe’s Restaurant and Bakery remains family-owned and operated as the third generation, Mrs. Rowe's grandson, Aaron DiGrassie manages the bakery and kitchens while Michael continues with the overall general management.

Over 110 newspapers nationwide have written articles about the restaurant. We hope you enjoy dining with us and don’t forget to take home some fresh baked pastries and cookies.
