Today we are going to share our top 5 favorite shops in Wellesley. What makes Wellesley so special is the places that make our community!

#1 is Wasiks, The Cheese Shop. You’ll find hour long lines during the holidays and a staff that matches its knowledge with enthusiasm. People come from all over to visit the Cheese Shop and it’s a town staple, even our 6 year old is hooked!

#2 is the new Le Petit Four Bakery. This small bakery that was previously operating out of the owners house in Needham, brings authentic French pastries to our small town. It’s no surprise long lines are already forming on busy weekends!

#3 is the Linden Store. A favorite of ours since our college days. You can’t think of lunchtime in Wellesley without thinking of the Linden Store. My all time favorite sandwich is the Thanksgiving!

#4 is Tutto Italiano. Located on one of the busiest corners in town, Tutto offers an authentic Italian shopping experience with some top notch sandwiches and prepared meals for last minute dinners. Our kids love their meatballs!

#5 is Captain Mardens. This Wellesley institution is a triple threat - with a restaurant, a fish market and a food truck! Having access to fresh seafood from purveyors that take such pride in their craft is a priceless asset to Wellesley.

Bonus: Captain Mardens has been baking up fresh bagels on Fridays and Saturdays for over a year now.
