Rising to the Occasion

If you stop in to When Pigs Fly Sourdough Bakery’s new shop outside of Davis Square, be sure your stomach is empty—the friendly loaf slingers behind the counter have samples of every bread right out on the counter, and it’s hard to say no. Bostonist enjoyed all of the bread we sampled, but we really loved the banana pecan, maple, and brown sugar bread, especially smeared with a little bit of their own pumpkin butter… perfect for breakfast. The potato, roasted garlic, and onion bread was another favorite. The onion and garlic on the outside of the bread was soft and caramelized, and the loaf itself was tender and delicious. With about 20 different breads to choose from, each between 5 and 7 dollars, it’s definitely worth stopping by (and maybe picking up a treat from nearby Kickass Cupcakes while you’re at it). The bread isn’t baked on premises, unfortunately—the smell would be fantastic—but it is trucked in fresh daily from York, Maine. And if you can’t get out to Davis Square, several local grocery stores also carry the breads, including Whole Foods and Stop & Shop. Photo by Lisa Scanlon.

Delicious bread but be warned, when they say no preservatives they mean it. I once bought a loaf on Saturday that turned into a giant green science project in the bread box by Monday. Eat or freeze immediately.
