"I'm especially interested in Flourhouse Bakery, opening in Newton’s Nonantum village at 140R Adams St.; it will produce the English muffins and breads used at Mike & Patty’s and a variety of other scratch-made baked goods for consumers and wholesale accounts. The space, which took over the former Prelude Bakery (and continues an address that has housed bakeries since the 1940s), will offer breads like sourdough, seven-grain, and gluten-free brioche, as well as torta rolls, vegan English muffins, everything bagel dinner rolls, lemon curd cruffins, kouign-amann, cookies, and more. According to M&A Brands’ director of culinary and innovation Chris Strange, Flourhouse won’t be limited to French- or Italian-style baked goods and will use quality ingredients sourced locally whenever possible; it is already accepting preorders online with pickups beginning on September 23 and will hold an open house with free samples on September 25 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with plans to offer delivery, pop-up menus, and a full retail space down the line." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
