Le Petit Four bakery reopening on Jan. 21
Let Petit Four bakery, which opened briefly on Christmas Eve morning at 380 Washington St., now plans for its official opening on Tuesday, Jan. 21 at 8am.
Here’s the official list of hours from Le Petit Four for its opening week:
The much anticipated French bakery got its formal common victualler’s license approved by the Select Board during that body’s Jan. 7 meeting (see Wellesley Media recording near the start).
We got a sneak peek inside the bakery late last year.
