The Bok is getting a bakery.
Later this spring, Le Bec-Fin alum Emily Riddell and partner-in-flour Katie Lynch will open the Machine Shop Boulangerie on the fourth floor of the building at Ninth and Mifflin in South Philly. The imposing structure, which was formerly Bok Technical High School, has been transformed by development company Scout Ltd. into a hub of artisan businesses.
The Machine Shop Boulangerie, which takes its name from the original use of the schoolroom it occupies, will be Bok’s first food tenant.
“We were blown away by this really cool project,” Lynch said, describing how she and Riddell chose the location. “They were intrigued by our idea to have a bakery there, and we were intrigued by their idea to have this large, communal, repurposed space.”
