Baking Our Way to Arlington

According to Boston.com, Breadboard Bakery opened in East Arlington on November 19 in the former Commune Kitchen space, offering an expanse of goods from accomplished baker Daisy Chow. This is the first brick-and-mortar bakery Chow has owned, though she’s been a vital talent in Boston’s baking community for two decades, working in the kitchens at Ames Street Deli, Maison Robert, Via Matta, and Clear Flour Bread, the last of which she baked at for over 15 years. Chow also ran a successful pop-up at Cutty’s, a deli in Brookline Village, where locals fell for her fruit-filled kolaches — Czech pastries that are popular in Chow’s native state of Texas.

Breadboard customers can find those coveted kolaches at her new shop, along with croissants, chocolate wacky cake, chocolate chunk shortbread, buckwheat chocolate cookies, cranberry muffins, and loaves of Danish rye and sourdough bread. For Chow, who recently moved to Arlington, the bakery is a highly personal project.

The bakery aims to be a place where one can get good bread and pastry, and know the bakers making the food. Chow also wants to focus on community and development, wanting the bakery to be a place where her employees can have a venue to share their craftsmanship and feel proud of their workplace.
