15 Essential Bakeries Around Boston
"Known across the city for exceptional Montserratian fare, Auntie Vie’s is a family-owned restaurant and bakery in the heart of Dorchester. Violet Francis, known to friends and family by the nickname Auntie Vie, opened the restaurant in 2013 after running her own catering business for years. While the restaurant is known for savory entrees like their goat curry and jerk chicken, Auntie Vie’s also has a selection of house-made meat patties, not to mention an eye-catching lineup of dessert items like the pineapple turnovers, potato pudding, and Black Cake, a popular Caribbean dessert made with dried fruits that have been soaked in rum and red wine. Keep an eye out on their Instagram account for their special bake sales around Easter, Christmas, and Thanksgiving." - Katie Draisen
