Boschetto Bakery was founded by two brothers, Andy and Larry Boschetto,
on June 12, 1952. The bakery was also supported by the help of John
and Joe Boschetto.
Andy and his family have a long history in the bakery business, dating
back to around 1900. Both of his parents were bakers. His father opened
his first bakery on Salem Street in the Boston's North End. This was
not Andy's passion back then. His father, however, made him work with
the rest of the family at the bakery, even though "Sonny",
as he was called, would hide out until summoned by his father.
In 1952, Andy and Larry broke off from the family bakery in the North
End, then run by their brother Joe, and took on a new location in Roslindale,
MA. Their primary focus was bread baking, tarrali, and Italian pastries.
Soon, the four brothers, Andy, Larry, John, and Joe, all worked together
running the new family bakery in Roslindale. It was around 1960 when
they began the expansion and addition to the bakery. More bakers were
hired and they began baking cakes.
Around 1985-86 Andy Boschetto sold his bakery to the  Marchionda
family and they in turn sold the bakery to Joe Murphy on May 6, 2004.
Joe will carry on with the famous cakes and pastries, but will be adding
delicious artisan breads, prepared gourmet foods, European danishes
and cookies, and also feature Green Mountain Coffee and Teas.
The staff has stayed on under the new ownership and everyone is working
hard at improving the bakery for our patrons. We urge you to come sit
with us in our newly decorated retail area and have a treat from the
cases. And don't forget to wash it down with a delicious cup of coffee
or tea! |
