Bruegger's Bagels in West Roxbury Has Closed

A location of a chain of bagel spots with roots in the local region has closed, and now there is only one remaining within the Boston city limits.

According to an article from Universal Hub, Bruegger's Bagels in West Roxbury is no longer in business, with a sign out front saying "thank you for allowing us to make your mornings brighter and mor delicious." The note refers customers to the Longwood location of the chain, which is the sole remaining outlet in Boston as its downtown location closed earlier last year. (A number of others can still be found in the suburbs.)

Bruegger's Bagels first started out in Troy, NY in 1983, with its corporate offices being in Burlington, VT, until about ten years ago (they are now headquartered in Denver). 

The address for the now-closed location of Bruegger's Bagels in West Roxbury was 667 VFW Parkway, West Roxbury (Chestnut Hill), MA, 02467. The website for the chain is at https://www.brueggers.com/

Donna's Cakes in West Roxbury Is Up for Sale

A longtime bakery that is known in part for its custom cakes is on the selling block.

An article from Universal Hub says (via a Facebook post from the business) that Donna's Cakes in West Roxbury is up for sale, with the note from the Spring Street shop saying that "Due to unforeseen family circumstances and after much deliberation, it is with a heavy heart that we have painstakingly decided to sell our family business that has been serving this wonderful community for the past 30 years. We hope to find the right buyer who will love it as much as we do and continue its legacy for many years to come." The post also says that Donna's will remain open until the "right buyer is found," so it looks like the bakery will remain in operation for at least the time being.

In addition to cakes made for a variety of occasions, Donna's Cakes also offers custom cupcakes as well.

The address for Donna's Cakes is 100 Spring Street, West Roxbury, MA, 02132. Its website can be found at http://www.donnas-cakes.com/home.html

Universal Hub is reporting via a Facebook post that BakerBaker in West Roxbury is shutting down at the end of the week, with a note within the Facebook thread indicating that Thursday may be the last full day for the Spring Street shop--though owner Fran Kolenik will apparently be at the store on Friday morning as well.
