The Bittersweet Shoppe May Be Opening in Boston's Back Bay

A new food place could be coming to one of Boston's busiest streets, and its name may be familiar to those who frequent farmers markets and festivals.

According to a licensing board hearing page within the city's website, The Bittersweet Shoppe is planning to open on Newbury Street in the Back Bay, with the notice mentioning that the restaurant space would include a lower garden level along with a lower patio and the manager being Tracy Casavant. A post on the designcrowd.com site indicates that Casavant is the owner of Bittersweet Homestead, a business known in part for its fresh-squeezed lemonade along with such items as sweet and salty kettle corn and maple vanilla walnuts, and the post indicates that she may be calling the brick-and-mortar "The Bittersweet Shoppe & Soda Fountain."

Bittersweet Homestead, which was formed in 2015, has been set up at such spots as City Hall Plaza in downtown Boston and the Wachusett Mountain Ski Resort. Its Facebook page can be found at https://ift.tt/2VE00IU
