Emily Stewart, a
worker-owner of BreadHive, an artisan bakery at 123 Baynes St., stands in front
of the bakery’s second location at 402 Connecticut St., set to open spring
2016. The Connecticut Street location will host the bakery’s first sit-down
café, serving sandwiches, pretzels and dips, soups, salads and light pastries. BreadHive
will keep the Baynes Street location for the wholesale baking of its breads,
bagels, pretzels and granola. The bakery has flourished into a booming business
in its nearly two years of existence. Its success can be largely attributed to its
community support. The bakery got its start in 2014 by selling 65 shares at
$1,000 a piece to 40 individuals, which has led to the owner’s confidence to expand
its venture, Stewart said. At least 50 individuals have inquired about the
second location and offered their support. By
