To the best of my knowledge, R. Halbfinger, does not allow this into his shul and doesn't reccomend it. Check with him or your LOR. Also, I'm pretty sure that NO Orthodox rabbi in Boston trusts the kashrut of any kosher bakery in MA that is not in Brookline/Brighton or Newton with the exception of the kosher Stop and Shop bakery locations.

Their speciality is "baigels," which are larger and breadier than what I've come to enjoy. They also sell a wide variety of cookies, cakes, and breads (including challah), and have a sandwich bar (a la Kupel's). I believe they're still under Vaad supervision (as I've seen their rolls used at Rubin's), but their bags, etc., don't include the Vaad symbol, only the word "Kosher." On a recent visit, we noticed they now sell Italian-style pastries like cannoli and lobster tails. Very good. I’m quite familiar with Zeppy’s, having grown up in Randolph.

It is a Portugese bakery that sells very treif items like pepporoni pizza and other pork filled pastries. They DO make kosher bread under the KVH that is packaged and sold frozen. Unless you buy the frozen break that is labeled with KVH, it is NOT kosher. Be careful. -David Boschetto’s LaRonga is NOT a strictly kosher establishment.
