Swissbakers in Reading Is Opening a Second Location in Allston

A bakery and cafe in the northern suburbs of Boston is planning to open a second location, with this one residing in a neighborhood of the city.

According to Eater Boston, Swissbakers on Lincoln Street in Reading looks to be opening a new spot on Western Avenue in Allston (which will be their new headquarters for production as well) early next year. The article mentions that in addition to having both indoor and outdoor seating at their new cafe, the Allston location of Swissbakers will also have a fireplace and a children's play area. Expect items such as croissants, pretzels, cookies, challah, quiche, soups, sandwiches, hot chocolate, and coffee at the new spot.

[August 17, 2012 update: Eater Boston is reporting that the new Swissbakers in Allston is hoping to open sometime this fall. The article also says that in addition to the features mentioned above, the new bakery and cafe will have an herb garden as well.]

[December 3, 2012 update: Based on posts from their Facebook and Twitter pages, it appears that Swissbakers may be having some sort of opening in Allston today, with hours being 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM Monday through Saturday until Christmas.]

[December 3, 2012 update #2: According to a post from Allston Rat City, this is the first day of a marketing campaign from Swissbakers, so it is apparently not a grand opening.]

[February 21, 2013 update: An email sent to us indicates that Swissbakers in Allston will have its grand opening a week from today (Thursday, February 28).]

[February 28, 2013 update: Eater Boston confirms that Swissbakers is indeed having its grand opening today in Allston from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM.]
