Lyndell's Bakery Has Closed Its North End Location

A bakery that has been in Somerville for well over 100 years--and had recently opened two other locations in Cambridge and the North End of Boston--has closed its Boston shop.

According to posters on both Chowhound and Yelp, Lyndell's Bakery on Hanover Street in the North End is now closed. (A check on their website seems to have confirmed this, as the only listings for the bakery on the site are in Somerville and Cambridge.) The North End location of Lyndell's first opened in the summer of 2009, with the Central Square location opening on Prospect Street about a year later. The original Lyndell's first opened on Broadway in Somerville's Ball Square in 1887, according to the bakery's website.

Lyndell's features a wide variety of baked goods and pastries, including breads, cookies, cakes, cupcakes, and pies. One of their best-known items is their handmade half moon cookie.

The address for the now-closed Lyndell's in Boston's North End was: Lyndell's Bakery, 227 Hanover Street, Boston, MA, 02113. The website for the Somerville and Cambridge locations can be found at http://lyndells.com/
