The new Fornax is very sad and makes me sad. Smaller sized items at a higher price and not quite as good. Could anyone make a smaller Hostess cupcake? I for one liked the previous unique style of the food and the slightly funky look of the place. Now it's just another blando place. And the Breakfast sandwich is not the same -terrible. It tasted like old grease.
Rough. Was so excited. Just needed bread to make garlic bread with pasta… At the cash register I decided to treat myself to a chocolate chip cookie. It was terrible. Dry. Hard. Cashier said - oh, those were baked on Sunday - it was now Wednesday. I asked for a different cookie. I thought I’d try an oatmeal raisin. Cashier said - oh, people don’t like those. Ugh. I ended up with a giant Oreo. It was meh. Got a batard for garlic bread… I’d give it a 7 out of 10? It was a day old too, as per my cashier… So, not fresh. Not good.
I literally googled Best bakery in Roslindale, This bakery popped up. Best bread in town I agree. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kid-friendliness: Nothing better than Smiles when you walk into any establishment. Thank you staff❤️
Bought a whole of bread and was dry, i am pretty sure was old. I threw half of it away. Came back to give another try and bought chocolate cake. Also dry. Didnt offer to warm it either.
The new owners stripped out everything that made this place so eclectic, fun, and special. Now it's generic and boring. Such a shame.
I stopped by here during my morning walk, and it was awesome! Can tell everything is made fresh. Highly recommend!
I have been a frequent customer at Fornax for well over a decade. I have always been a fan of the delicious sandwiches, salads and homemade soups (butternut squash soup my favorite) When COVID hit I stopped being in the area. Well in December my foster daughter started play therapy at The Home for Little Wanderers on American Legion. Stopped by Fornax a few times to get a chicken salad. Chicken was very dry and they forgot to add dressing ♀️ . 2nd time same dry chicken and forgot some ingredients that I was able to correct before I headed home in the South End. 3rd salad I was pretty mad and called the bakery. I know The owner Kim and asked to speak to her. Welp...found out Fornax was sold and under new ownership . No more Kim . Not sure what is going on with the new owners but I'm not feeling it. That chicken on the mixed green salad is like chicken chips. Please fix this. Also my delicious bread got moldy after 2 days . Maybe they are working out the kinks ♀️. Soup was good, sandwich was good Lil Skippy on the salami. Staff was nice and helpful. I had plans to ask Kim for the butter nut Squash recipe . Can't believe your gone Kim. I feel like this, if your not going to stick to good quality like Kim always did change the name. Fix the chicken. It's dry AF. Best wishes to Kim and her future endeavors❤️
