Farmington Valley · Since 1987
A Portuguese-American bakery in small-town Connecticut. Three generations, one oven, and the smell of pastéis de nata in the air.

Our story
Bolo started in a Connecticut kitchen with a grandmother, a rolling pin, and a stack of recipes brought over from Portugal. Three generations later, the oven is a little bigger, the kitchen has a sign out front, and the recipes are still the same.
We bake in small batches, by hand, every morning. Some days we sell out. On those days, we are sorry — and also a little proud.
