Flake Bakery Is Opening in Brookline

A new bakery that features a popular Portuguese dessert item is on its way to Brookline.

According to a poster (Geoff Wong) within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Flake Bakery is planning to open sometime this spring on Beacon Street in the Coolidge Corner section of town. The Instagram page for the upcoming shop indicates that it will offer freshly baked handmade Portuguese Pasteis de Nata, which are custard tarts made with puff pastry filled with a sweet baked custard.

The address for Flake is 1298 Beacon Street, Brookline, MA, 02446. Its Instagram page can be found at https://www.instagram.com/flakebakeryboston

Legal Sea Foods Is Featuring Azorean Food This Spring

A local chain of seafood restaurants is going to be adding a new section to their menu for one month, and it will be focusing on food from a group of islands that are west of Portugal.

According to the Portuguese American Journal, Legal Sea Foods will offer Azorean fare on their menu between March 14 and April 11 as part of a promotional campaign of the Azores as a destination for tourists. The article states that dishes that will be served on the "Menu Azores" at Legal during this time period will include fish that is caught in the Azores along with local preserves, pepper, and queijadas, which are a type of cheese tart served as a dessert. Legal Sea Foods will include images of the areas where the products come from, and they will offer tourist information about the islands as well.

The Legal Sea Foods chain includes locations within Boston at Long Wharf, Park Square, Copley Place, the Prudential Center, and Logan Airport, with Legal Harborside and Legal Test Kitchen being in the Seaport District of the city. Other locations can be found outside of the Boston city limits as well (including two in Cambridge), and a couple of Legal C Bar restaurants are located at Logan Airport and Dedham.
