Lyndell's Bakery Is Closing Its Shop in Cambridge's Central Square

A bakery that has been in Somerville for more than 125 years, and once had a total of three locations, will soon be back to just one as its shop in Cambridge is going to be shutting down.

Eater Boston is reporting (via the bakery's Facebook page) that the outlet of Lyndell's in Central Square will be closing because it was unable to renew its lease. As EB mentions, there has been talk that an outlet of Tasty Burger may be coming to the Prospect Street space, though this has not yet been confirmed. The original location of Lyndell's in Somerville's Ball Square neighborhood will remain open. (It is not yet known when Lyndell's will be closing its Cambridge shop; as soon as we get more information, we will post an update here.)

[September 3 update: Based on a Twitter post as well as a Chowhound post, Lyndell's in Cambridge's Central Square is now closed.]

Lyndell's also had a location in the North End of Boston, which closed in June of 2011.

The address for Lyndell's in Central Square is 74 Prospect Street, Cambridge, MA, 02139. The website for the bakery can be found at http://lyndells.com/
