These 7 Fall River, Massachusetts Portuguese Bakeries Still Pull Malassadas or Sweet Bread From the Oven Every Morning

One bakery on this list unlocks its door at 4:30 in the morning. That’s before most coffee makers in Massachusetts have even clicked on. I love that detail because it tells you who these ovens are really for. They serve early shift workers, Sunday regulars, and anyone who knows that sweet bread tastes best before the sun is fully up.

FALL RIVER — The operators of Miss Lizzie’s Coffee announced on Monday, Nov. 9, that owner Joe Pereira has died. “Please bear with us during this difficult time. We will be open for limited hours for the next few days while we make arrangements,” the café announced on its Facebook page.

Will You Help Foster Find a Home on the Cape?

This handsome fella is Foster, a 10-year-old Australian Cattle Dog on the hunt for his next home! Foster is an absolute pro when it comes to walking on leash, and would make a great companion for a hiker or a fan of the great outdoors. He’s happy to romp around and get silly in the yard with his friends, but is also a big fan of settling down for some quality couch time while you catch up on all your favorite shows. Foster is doing great with his training (he’s got crate training and house training in the bag), but he can get a little jumpy when excited!
