The brown bread is a must-try, served warm in the traditional can-shape with plenty of butter. It's the quintessential Boston experience.

The best brown bread in the city, hands down. It reminds me exactly of my grandmother's recipe—not too dry and full of molasses flavor.

Perfect pairing with the beans. The bread is sweet and dense just like it should be, providing a great contrast to the savory beans.
