Fantastic Artisinal Bakery in Winchester
MAMADOU"S bakery has just opened a retail shop at 63 Swanton St. in Winchester, MA. Mamadou opened his bakery over the past summer and his bread was a big hit at the Winchester Farmer's Market that was held every Saturday morning in the park in the center of town. Before opening his own bakery Mamadou was a baker at the Hi-Rise bakery in Cambridge.
I stopped in his new retail shop (which is also where all his breads are made) the day before Thanksgiving and bought a fresh baguette that had just come out of the oven and a loaf of of his Paysan both of which were excellent. He usually has 6 to 8 different freshly made breads available including whole wheat and breads with nuts and raisins. All of them looked delicious.
This bakery is a great addition to Winchester and I hope they are a success

Thanks for the heads up. This is really excellent bread- reminds me of Clear Flour. I am so thrilled to have bread of this caliber in our area! For their sake, I wish their store front was a bit more welcoming- it's a stark looking brick building with no windows to the interior.

royron, thanks so much for posting this. I also live in good restnt-starved Winchester.
I have always bought Iggy's bread for my business but last week, picked up an emergency baguette at La Patisserie. what a joke- all 1.5 ou of it. So , while I have never been a Hi Rise devotee, it's great to learn of this new place; th you. -
