Wonderful Wellesley initiative celebrates the town’s amped-up restaurants scene

June 8, 2022 by admin Leave a Comment

SPONSORED CONTENT: Eight—count ’em, eight—new restaurants have either opened in Wellesley or are slated to do so in 2022. From a seven-seat coffee house in Wellesley Hills (Jeje’s, expected to open in early summer) to a southwestern-themed tacos-plus restaurant with room for 120 in Wellesley Square (Lockheart is currently moving through the permitting process), to Tatte Bakery’s expected mid-June opening in Linden Square, diners suddenly have a dizzying array of new choices. It’s finally happening. Wellesley is becoming a real restaurants town.
