What is Kosher & Pareve?

Kosher describes any foods that are within the dietary laws of Judaism. In accordance with Jewish dietary laws, Pareve describes food that does not contain meat or dairy. At Blacker's Bakeshop, we are committed to providing the local community with the highest quality Kosher and Pareve baked goods and treats for your celebrations or everyday enjoyment. 

While not connected to kosher dietary laws, we have also decided to be completely NUT free to help our allergy aware customers.

Whether you're picking up our products in the shop or want to buy Kosher baked goods online, our products are clearly marked with kosher/allergy  information.
We are supervised by Rabbi Hamaoui through New England Kashruth (Crown K)

Meet the Owners

Husband and wife Richard and Karen Blacker are 30-year veterans in the food service business. Growing up in Newton, Richard worked at Blacker's Bros., a specialty fruit store owned by his father and a beloved staple in Newton Center that opened in the 1960s. 

From 1985 to 2005, Richard and Karen owned a wholesale cookie business. Blacker's Bakeshop has been their newest endeavor in the food industry, opening in 2008. Joining them in 2014, their daughter Becca works in a managerial role,  making this truly a family business. Blacker's has quickly become a favorite spot for locals in need of allergy-friendly, Kosher baked goods - and residents who just need a sugar fix.

​High quality products and real relationships with customers are the backbone of their successful businesses. ​Contact Us today to pick up one of our delicious treats, or place an order online

Best Challah
in Boston

"Blacker’s is my very favorite challah in all of Boston. Always soft and fluffy and great texture. Just the right amount of sweetness without tasting like cake. Boston has a lot of challah options, most are good. Blacker’s is my favorite!"

Amazing
Shop

"Great place for super yummy baked goods! Everything we’ve had there has been wonderful - and reasonably priced, especially for a small local business. As somebody with a severe nut allergy, I am so thankful for this amazing shop."

Neighborhood
Treasure

"I love this family-owned bakery. The baked goods are excellent and the staff is dedicated. The challah is out of this world...They source dairy-free chocolate, which is expensive, but well worth it...It's a neighborhood treasure!"
