Best Bakeries Around Boston | Eater Boston

"Greenhills Irish Bakery of Dorchester was opened by Dermot Quinn in 1993, and soon became known as Boston’s staple for Irish bakes. After emigrating from Ireland, Quinn founded the bakery to bring a taste of his hometown to Dorchester. Now, 30 years later, he continues to offer Irish breads and treats that his grandmother made back home, like her brown bread. Greenhills churns out four types of soda bread, Irish barmbrak (a slightly sweetened yeasted bread made with raisins that is particularly popular in Ireland around Halloween), and Irish biscuit cake, as well as a variety of sweets, sandwiches, and soups made in-house daily. They also offer Christmas specials during the holiday season, so keep an eye out for their Christmas pudding and Christmas cake." - Katie Draisen
