Popular Bakery Expanding With New Location In Farmington

FARMINGTON, CT — Hartford Baking Company is expanding into Farmington with what will soon be its third shop on Farmington Avenue.

Hartford Baking Company officials said Wednesday they will be taking over the spot formerly occupied by Truffles. A lease is signed and the bakery is slated for a Sept. 1 opening, officials said.

The former truffles is located at 767 Farmington Ave.

Hartford Baking Company president Scot Kluger said the Farmington shop will feature the same menu as the West Hartford and Glastonbury locations.

The menus may change to reflect "seasonality," he said but a sneak peek is at: http://hartfordbaking.com/orderonline .

HBC will also sell freshly baked bread by the loaf at the new Farmington location, he said. All bread for the business is scratch-baked the night before at the same HBC commissary in Bloomfield that currently provides bread for the other two cafes, Knuger said.

Said Kluger, "We are thrilled that we are going to be able to continue the tradition of having a bakery at this location in Farmington Village. Truffles was in business for over 20 years, so it will be great to have the opportunity to give people a spot for breakfast, coffee, sandwiches, and more — all scratch-baked of course."
