Jonquil's Cafe and Bakery in Boston's Back Bay Has Closed

A bakery-cafe in the Back Bay of Boston has shut down after being in business for approximately six years.

According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Jonquil's Cafe and Bakery on Newbury Street is closed, with "for lease" signs now up in the windows. Several weeks ago, the business said in an Instagram post that it was "closed until further notice" and to "please stay connected with us through our social media channels or contact us directly," but a subsequent reply indicated that it was not closing for renovations, hinting that it may indeed be a permanent closure which it apparently turned out to be.

The address for the now-closed Jonquil's Cafe and Bakery in the Back Bay was 125 Newbury Street, Boston, MA, 02116.
