Boston: Sorelle Bakery and Cafe (August 2010)

Sorelle Bakery and Cafe on Monument Avenue is the "original" Sorelle (there are other locations on Congress Street and City Square), which has long served as the social epicenter of Charlestown's Main Street district. Woven tightly into the fabric of the neighborhood, it serves up gourmet coffee, local favorite scones, muffins
and assorted pastries that are baked on the premises. Sorrelle also offers a wide assortment of sandwiches and salads made to order, as well as daily specials and soups. On any given day, you'll hear lively discussion on topics of local politics, current events, and Red Sox pitching over a bowl of soup or a sandwich.
