Hearth and Hug Opens in Somerville

Several months ago, it was reported that a Somerville shop known for its gourmet roasted nuts was closing and that a bakery with a location in Boston would be moving into its space. Now we have learned that the bakery is up and running--and that this is a move for the place rather than a second location.

According to an Instagram post from the business, Hearth and Hug Bakery opens today, with the note indicating that its official opening is Saturday. Below is what was posted:

We're so excited to finally open our doors and invite you in! Stop by today between 7am-12pm for our soft opening! While we may be limited on some menu items, we will still have coffee, drinks, breads, breakfast lunch, and tons of pastries to try! Can't make it today? Come by Saturday, the 8th for our grand opening! We can't wait to see you all!!!

Hearth and Hug Bakery had been located at Boston Public Market, but it closed in September in anticipation of a move to the new Highland Avenue storefront, which was previously home to Q's Nuts (Q's Nuts continues to operate within Boston Public Market).

The address for the new home for Hearth and Hug is 349 Highland Avenue, Somerville, MA, 02144. Its website can be found at https://www.hearthandhugbakery.com/

Mass Hole Donuts Plans to Leave Its Space in Somerville's Teele Square; Hoping to Find New Location

A specialty donut shop that is known in part for its donut holes is making plans to leave its space, as it begins a search for a potential new location.

According to an Instagram post from the business, Mass Hole Donuts in the Teele Square section of Somerville is looking to say farewell to its storefront on Broadway, with the note saying the following:

Our lease is up at the end of September, and unfortunately, we won't be able to stay in our current Somerville home. The city is putting in a new bike lane that will remove every parking spot on our block and surrounding blocks. Since 40–60% of our customers drive to us, that change would have a huge impact on our business and make staying here financially impossible. This isn't about being pro-bike lane or anti-bike lane — we're not trying to be political. We just know what's best for our business, our team, and our customers, and in this case it means we can't renew our lease. This is not a move we want to make. We love our neighbors, our local customers, and the community we've built here. But it's clear we need to find a new space where Mass Hole Donuts can keep thriving. We're looking for our forever location — not a chain, not a satellite shop, not a Mass Hole on every block. Just one perfect home where we can keep making the best damn donut holes in Massachusetts.

The post goes on to say that it is seeking a new space in Somerville or the surrounding communities.

The current address for Mass Hole Donuts is 1157 Broadway, Somerville, MA, 02144. Its website can be found at https://www.massholedonuts.com/

Third Time Ice Cream Is Looking to Open a Brick-and Mortar Shop in East Somerville

It looks like a local ice cream business known for its pop-ups could be opening a permanent space sometime this year.

According to an article from Boston Magazine, Third Time Ice Cream is planning to open a brick-and-mortar shop at an as-of-yet undisclosed location in East Somerville, with an Instagram post from the business saying the following:

As some of you know, we're headed for a permanent home in East Somerville--a home with tables, and chairs, and a patio, and coffee, and breakfast, and lunch, all while still offering our unique take on ice cream. But while our new location is under construction, we thought we would do a little residency to give folks a preview of what our new menu will look like. So we reached out to our friends at Tilde and they have generously offered to be our home away from home for a little bit!

Third Time Ice Cream Founder Nick Ladin-Sienne, who comes from such restaurants as Oleana, Sofra, and Puritan + Co., brought the business (as a temporary residence) to Somerville's Bow Market last fall.

The website for Third Time Ice Cream is at https://www.thirdtimeicecream.co/

Dorchester Brewing Company and Aeronaut Brewing to Merge

A couple of local breweries are going to be joining forces.

According to posters within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page along with an Instagram post, Dorchester Brewing Company and Aeronaut Brewing in Somerville and Everett are merging, with the Instagram post saying the following:

As two likeminded local brands with similar missions to create the highest-quality craft beer while positively impacting our communities, this partnership will usher in a new era of innovation in the local craft beer scene. Never fear, the beer you know and love will continue to be brewed and enjoyed by all. Both beer brands are staying as is and functioning independently - just now under one parent company allowing us to make things even better! For you, our customers, nothing really changes on your end. You get to continue enjoying all your favorite beers from both DBC and Aeronaut at each of our local taprooms and throughout the local beer scene. We are moving Aeronaut's larger-scale production to our Dorchester location, while the Aeronaut team will continue to brew small batch beers for their own taprooms at their Somerville location, with the Everett Cannery taproom continuing to operate into 2024. We are beyond excited about this partnership and look forward to what the future brings!

Dorchester Brewing Company debuted on Massachusetts Avenue in 2016, while Aeronaut Brewing first opened on Tyler Street in Somerville in 2014 (its Everett cannery was launched on Ashland Street in 2020).

bfresh in Somerville's Davis Square Has Closed

Another outlet of a local group of small grocery stores has shut down.

According to an article from Cambridge Day, bfresh in Somerville's Davis Square closed on October 12, with Caroline Medeiros--who is the external and corporate communications manager for sibling grocery chain Stop & Shop--saying that "Stop & Shop has made the difficult decision not to renew the lease for our bfresh store....The store was not meeting financial expectations." The Elm Street shop opened in early 2017, joining other locations in Allston and Brighton, neither of which are in operation anymore, though Nichole Davis of WBZ 1030 tells us that a location of Stop & Shop in Newton is now a bfresh location.

The address for bfresh in Davis Square was 240 Elm Street, Somerville, MA, 02144.

According to an Instagram post, M.F. Dulock on Highland Avenue is closing and being replaced by Highland Butcher Shop, with Michael Dulock saying the following in the post:

Bantam Cider in Somerville's Union Square Is Closing

A local cider company and taproom is saying farewell.

According to Patrick Maguire of Maguire Promotions & Hospitality Consulting, Bantam Cider in the Union Square section of Somerville is closing down, with an Instagram post from the Merriam Street place saying the following:

...as we look into the future, and having recently evaluated various scenarios, we understand now more than ever before, that we would ultimately need to make some compromises to continue to grow. The most obvious would have us rethink our choice of ingredients and processes to reduce our expensive production costs. While this could be a savvy business decision, it just isn't something we want to do, nor is it something we're willing to hand off to someone else to do. In fact, we believe it's the kind of compromise that would kill what we've always considered the ethos of Bantam. And faced with this as an inevitable predicament, we've decided to retire Bantam Cider as it is today, something we're proud of.

The note mentions that Bantam's ciders will be available in retail stores for a few more months.

Bantam Cider first opened its facility in 2014, with its cider taproom being the first to open in the entire state; the company eventually ended up producing more than a dozen varieties of ciders, including ones that were available all year long, limited ciders, and ciders only available at the taproom.

The address for Bantam Cider is 40 Merriam Street, Somerville, MA, 02143. Its website can be found at https://www.bantamcider.com/
