15 Essential Bakeries Around Boston

"At Fornax in Roslindale, bread is the star. Kim and Chris Fallon opened Fornax — named after the Roman goddess of baking — in 1997, and have been providing their community with high-quality breads and pastry ever since. A few menu highlights include the English muffins, or any of their loaves such as the sfilatino or rye. If you’re in the mood for a sandwich, be sure to try the unbeatable salami and onion, which can be ordered on your choice of their house-made breads. Catch them at the Roslindale Farmers’ Market or at one of their many restaurant wholesale partners like Sophia’s Grotto in Roslindale or Antonio’s Bacari in Hyde Park." - Katie Draisen
