Boundless Bakery hopes to open its new location at 71 West Main Street late this fall. The 100% vegan bakery uses plant-based ingredients free of animal byproducts. While an opening date has not been set, owner Mike Glatfelter said significant progress has been made on the space.

“We’re pretty far along,” said Glatfelter. “We’re doing some finishing touches and getting equipment delivered over.”

Boundless currently operates out of a 225-square-foot kitchen in Walpole. Glatfelter explained that the bakery’s new Hopkinton location offers more space and allows the business the opportunity to expand its offerings. Those expanded offerings will help Boundless maintain both wholesale and retail operations.

Glatfelter informed the Independent that he hoped for an opening date sometime in November, but he would not have more information until September. The bakery has been closed since May due to a family emergency.

As for why the bakery settled on Hopkinton as its next location, Glatfelter said that it was a matter of the right connections. His family is from town, and he lived on West Main Street until he was 3 years old.

“My father actually knows the original owners of that building,” Glatfelter said. He also said the business’s growth since its founding in 2022 provided ample opportunity to move into a new space.

Once open, the bakery will operate its retail business 2-3 days a week. It will offer items like muffins, whoopie pies, fruit bars and cookies, with plans to introduce items like cakes, cupcakes and pies as the bakery ramps up production.

Glatfelter is optimistic Boundless will open just before the holidays. “It depends on what happens in early September,” he said. “There’s more info to come.”
