"A neighborhood bakery that opened as the chain's 13th location to serve the Berklee College of Music area, occupying the former Back Bay Beats space. The interior features the brand's signature white tiling, sprawling pastry cases, and hot skillets of shakshuka; the menu—available from 7 a.m. on opening day—includes croissants, tarts, egg dishes, coffees, and teas, with seasonal rotations highlighting summer items like cherry- and strawberry-filled pastries and garden vegetable salads. The expansion is part of founder Tzurit Or's broader growth plans, backed in part by investor Ron Shaich, and accompanies other projects such as D.C. expansion and a large production hub, test kitchen, and café in South Boston." - Dana Hatic
