Update: Hi-Rise Bread Company in Cambridge Closing Brattle Street Location, Opening on Mass. Ave.

[Ed note: This article was updated on August 19 and October 13.]

A bakery and cafe with locations in Harvard Square and Huron Village in Cambridge is apparently closing their Harvard Square spot, and opening a new location between Harvard Square and Porter Square.

Based on information given to us by Eat Boston, Hi-Rise Bread Company is planning on opening on Mass. Ave. by the Wendell Street intersection. A notice on the City of Cambridge website also indicates that Hi-Rise is looking at this space, as it mentions that an upcoming Board of Zoning meeting will take up the case of parking for the restaurant. The case notice also states that the new Hi-Rise would have a capacity of 59.

[August 19 update: According to The Feast (via the Tosci Twitter page), the Brattle Street location of Hi-Rise in Harvard Square is closing on Saturday, August 27, with the new, larger Mass. Ave. spot opening sometime in early September. The location on Concord Avenue in Huron Village will remain open. Thanks to Grub Street Boston for bringing this to our attention.]

[October 13 update: According to @barismo, the new Hi-Rise Bread Company on Mass. Ave. has soft-opened.]

Hi-Rise Bread Company features freshly made breads as well as soups, salads, sandwiches, dinner entrees, and pastries.

The address for the new Hi-Rise is: Hi-Rise Bread Company, 1663 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA, 02138.
