Let Petit Four bakery, which opened briefly on Christmas Eve morning at 380 Washington St., now plans for its official opening on Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 8am until sold out. The same schedule will hold through Friday, then the bakery is slated to open at 8:30am on Saturday and Sunday.
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.
