Bakers' Best to Sell (or Close) Its Cafe in Newton Highlands, Concentrate on Catering

A Boston-area cafe and caterer that has been in existence for 27 years is going to be restructuring--including the selling or closing of the cafe part of its business--which will allow it to focus on catering.

An email sent to us by to Callanan & Klein Communications indicates that Bakers' Best is putting its Newton Highlands cafe on the market, with the Lincoln Street eatery remaining open until they find a buyer for it. If/when it is sold, the same day-to-day and holiday menu items can be ordered and delivered from the company's 10,000-square-foot commissary on Gould Street in Needham, which is where Bakers' Best will concentrate on full-service and corporate catering (which makes up the majority of its sales).

[December 13 update: Messages sent to us from Server Not Servant as well as Bakers' Best via the Hiddenboston Twitter page indicates that the cafe is now closed, though the catering business is still in operation.]

Bakers' Best, which first started out in 1984, is one of the region's leading caterers, with 2010 being its second highest grossing year to date.
