Construction has officially restarted at 611 Columbia Road!

We're excited to announce that construction is underway at our future home - 611 Columbia Road in Upham's Corner, Dorchester.

Comfort Kitchen will soon open in the former Uphams Corner Comfort Station, which was originally built in 1912 to support the expanding streetcar system in Boston and is listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places and as a Boston Landmark.
