Treat Cupcake Bar Is Opening in Chestnut Hill

A cupcake shop in Needham is expanding, with a second shop coming to a retail complex a few miles to the east that is currently undergoing redevelopment.

Eater Boston is reporting that Treat Cupcake Bar plans to open at The Street Chestnut Hill (formerly the Chestnut Hill Shopping Center) on Route 9, with a possible opening coming in the next week or so. The original location, which is on Highland Avenue in Needham, is an "interactive" shop where customers can design their own cupcakes by picking a cupcake option, choosing a frosting, then adding treats to the top.

[April 8 update: An email sent to us indicates that the new Treat Cupcake Bar in Chestnut Hill is now open.]

The Street Chestnut Hill is also home to a location of the Shake Shack, a New York-based eatery that opened earlier this month.

The address for this new cupcake shop in Chestnut Hill is: Treat Cupcake Bar, 55 Boylston Street, Chestnut Hill, MA, 02467. The website for the original shop can be found at http://www.treatcupcakebar.com/
