Bakers' Best to Focus on Catering Side

The popular Newton cafe , announced plans yesterday to sell its Newton Highlands location and move on to bigger ventures in its catering business, which is based in Needham.

According to a press release issued yesterday by the cafe, the owners of Bakers' Best wish to focus on their full-service catering, which makes up 85 percent of the company's sales. 

“This was one of the most difficult decisions that I’ve ever made” stated Michael Baker, owner and founder of the company.  “Our plans to restructure are not the results of financial strain or floundering sales. Frankly, that would have made the decision easier.”

The cafe, , will remain open and offer its same services as the sale process moves along. Even after the Newton location is sold, the same menu items cam be ordered from the Bakers' Best commissary in Needham, at 150 Gould St.

Baker said he and his family, who live in Newton, will continue to be active within the community. 

“Not many restaurants are lucky enough to be open for 27 years, and we consider ourselves fortunate to have had this great opportunity,” Baker said in the statement.  “As a long-time business owner in Newton, I remain committed to being part of the community going forward.”
