Tombler's Sets Up Temporary Kitchen

Easton's zoning board approved a temporary kitchen for Tombler's Bakery.

But the company hasn't given up; it hopes to move into new building until the end of the year.

Until that happens, owner Karen Drake will be making her baked goods in Easton, using the kitchen at synagogue. The Easton Zoning Hearing Board gave Drake approval Monday night to use the synagogue kitchen for the rest of the year.

She said they'll operate two days a week, six hours a day at the temple, located at 1451 Northampton Street.
