Arlington Bakery
About
Arlington Bakery is a Greek bakery in Arlington owned and run by pastry chef Lika Velentzas. It offers homemade Greek pastries, baklava, cookies and cheesecake, along with custom cakes for birthdays, showers and other celebrations. Custom orders have included chocolate cake with raspberry filling and Swiss meringue buttercream, lemon cake with raspberry, and berries and cream, a popular request, finished with fresh fruit, real flowers or edible gold.
Lika grew up in Worcester working in her parents’ restaurant and earned a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts with a business management focus. When her parents retired, she followed her passion for baking, graduated as a pastry chef from the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts and bought Arlington Bakery when it came up for sale. The bakery’s Méli Marketplace now stocks Greek goods made in-house and imported from Greece, from tzatziki to jams and coffee.
