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. Visit Blacker's Bakeshop today to pick up one of their delicious treats, or place an order online
