Cheryl Ann's Bakery

Cheryl Ann’s Bakery in Brookline’s Putterham Circle will celebrate 25 years in business next year. Owners Ann Moore, her sister, Cheryl, and their mother, Joan, bought the bakery after Ann returned from baking school in Minnesota. She was 22; Cheryl was 27. They had grown up in the baking business. The women, who are not Jewish, are well versed in Jewish culture. They’re known all over for their superb, moist, cakey challah, the traditional braided bread served on the Sabbath table and baked in a round (for continuity in life) at the Jewish New Year.
