Pressed Cafe Plans to Open in Dedham

Last week, it was reported that a local group of dining spots that focus on healthy, freshly-made options had expanded to another space in the Boston suburbs, and now we have learned that yet another new location is coming to the suburbs as well.

According to a source, Pressed Cafe is planning to open in Dedham, with both the source and an Atlantic Retail page indicating that it will be moving into a space at the former TGI Friday's property. Once it opens, the new outlet of the eatery will likely offer such options as soups, panini, bowls, fresh-pressed juices, coffee, and more, and it will join others in Boston's Back Bay and Seaport District, Burlington, Chelmsford, Lawrence, Newton, and a brand new one in Woburn, along with four in New Hampshire (another new one is also in the works for Beverly).

The address for the upcoming location of Pressed Cafe in Dedham is 750 Providence Highway, Dedham, MA, 02026. The website for all locations can be found at https://www.pressedcafe.com/

Three New Dining/Drinking Concepts Coming to South Station Tower in Boston

A trio of dining and drinking concepts will be coming to a new mixed-use tower in the heart of Boston, and a familiar name is involved.

According to a press release, The Moseley, Proper Fare, and an as-of-yet unnamed bar/lounge will be opening at South Station Tower, and David Morton of Episcope Hospitality (and who is part of the family behind Morton's Steakhouse) will be heading up the three concepts. The release says that The Moseley will be a casual fine dining restaurant while Proper Fare will be an all-day market and cafe, and the bar and lounge will be an extension of The Moseley, transitioning throughout the day from a place to get coffee during the day to a spot to get an evening cocktail.

All three concepts hope to open sometime in the spring of 2026.

Fable Brewing Company to Open in Woburn

A brewer that is based in the northern suburbs of Boston has found a permanent home for the business.

According to a Facebook post, Fable Brewing Company is going to be opening a facility in Woburn, with the post saying the following:

We're thrilled to announce that Fable Brewing Company has officially secured a location for our brick-and-mortar home! Nestled at 3 Gill Street in Woburn, Massachusetts, this space will soon be filled with the warmth of community, the hum of conversation, and the clink of glasses raised in celebration. This isn't just a building—it’s the beginning of something magical. A place where stories are shared, legends are brewed, and every pint has a tale to tell. Stay tuned for more updates as we build out our space and bring the Fable vision to life.

Fable was first established by James Sparks in 2020, with an earlier bcattv.org article saying that the original plan was for Sparks to open a facility in his hometown of Burlington.

The website for Fable Brewing Company is at https://www.fablebrewingco.com/
