Without a doubt one of the
*Best* bakeries in Boston. The space is really charming--old pressed tin ceiling, wood floors. It feels hip in a chill kind of way. Fornax can be mistaken for just a shop where you just come to order bread and pastries (which you can certainly get there), but there are actually 5 or so tables where you can sit down and eat your meal.
Oh yes and the food is Fabulous...The bacci rolls make the best sandwiches, the multi-grain boule is rich, moist, and substantial, and the North Italian sourdough has a great crust and subtle flavor. The homemade
Banana Bread is so scrumptious, buy it by the loaf or the slice.
Their
lunch salads are excellent, abundant and well-priced. For example, the mesclun salad is organic greens, currants, pine-nuts, home-made croutons from their bread, plus a couple pieces of fresh bread. Add chicken for for an extra buck. These easily feeds two (or nice leftovers). Also for Lunch they feature soup/sandwiches, their are 4 soups available. The turkey asiago w/ tomato on semi-sourdough is pretty awesome.
