A new French fine foods shop that will also sell bottles of wine and liquor is being planned for the northern suburbs of Boston, and it would replace a longtime bakery-cafe that closed a few months ago.
According to a couple of sources, including @Foodyguy1 who posted a tweet about it, Nouvelle Maison is hoping to open in Winchester, moving into the former La Patisserie European Bakery Cafe space on Church Street in the center of town. We have been told that owners Celine and Tom Kimberly have plans to make the place a bakery-cafe that offers such items as cheese, meat, bread, croissants, and more, and it will also have a section with bottles of alcohol, though alcohol will not be served within the place (the Winchester News says it will have seating for approximately 12 but will not be set up as a sitdown restaurant). It appears that if all goes well, Nouvelle Maison could be opening next summer or fall.
La Patisserie had been in business for almost 20 years before shutting down over the summer.
The address for the upcoming Nouvelle Maison is 30 Church Street, Winchester, MA, 01890.
[November 5, 2024 update: According to a press release, Nouvelle Maison is now open.]
