Popover King in Boston's North Station/Haymarket Area Has Closed

A bakery-cafe and restaurant that featured a beloved regional food item has shut down.

According to a tweet from @AlexDiPrato, Popover King is no longer in business, with a message from the Canal Street shop confirming that it has indeed closed its doors. The message does give what appears to be a glimmer of hope, however, saying that "We hope to someday come back," though no other details were given about a possible return, including whether it might return to its space or reopen elsewhere.

Popover King first opened in March of 2019, being a "bakery/cafe by day and an elegant bistro by night" and offering a variety of popover options; the place switched to takeout/curbside pickup and online ordering as the pandemic took hold this spring.

The address for Popover King was 74 Canal Street, Boston, MA, 02114.

by Marc Hurwitz

A bakery-cafe that focuses on a beloved regional food item is on its way to Boston.

According to a poster on the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Popover King is opening on Canal Street between North Station and Haymarket in the city's West End area. The website and Facebook page for the business indicate that a variety of popover options will be offered at the shop, while the "about" section of its Facebook page mentions that it will be a "bakery/cafe by day and an elegant bistro by night," celebrating "the venerable New England popover and the rich classic tastes of the region." (Coffee, espresso, and cappuccino will also be available at the place, according to the menu on its website.)

No specific opening date has been given as of yet for Popover King, so stay tuned for updates.

The address for this upcoming bakery-cafe in Boston is: Popover King, 74 Canal Street, Boston, MA, 02114. Its website can be found at http://www.popoverking.com/
