What to expect from the new Able Baker opening in South Orange
South Orange is about to get a whole lot sweeter with the opening of a new bakery.
Able Baker, whose flagship location is at 187 Maplewood Ave. in Maplewood, announced on social media that they’ll have a new location about a mile and a half away from where they are now.
The new bakery will be at 4th and Valley in South Orange, according to its Instagram announcement.
The South Orange location will be 3,500 square feet with space indoors for seating as well as potential for outdoor seating in the courtyard. Quite an upgrade from the 1,200 square feet for the Maplewood eatery.
While a specific opening date has not yet been given, they are expected to open late May or early June. Here’s some of what you can look forward to…
