Tony's Bakery — Restaurant in Fall River

We began buying Tonys massa (Portuguese Sweet Bread) bread many years back. During visits to close friends in Fall River, a trip to Tonys before we headed back to Pennsylvania was always a must. I cant describe how thrilled we were when an Ocean State Job Lot opened in our town, and with it, Tonys baked goods display. Finally, authentic Portuguese massa bread available locally. Initially, Tonys Bakery display sold the same product we purchased in Fall River. However the condition of the massa bread varied. Many times the loafs were flatted and crushed. Then the unsliced loafs were replaced with sliced loafs. We preferred to slice the bread as we used it. sometimes thick (to lightly toast) and other times thin.

I used to love picking up these Portuguese muffins at Ocean State Job Lot. However, the past month and a half every purchase I make has moldy muffins when I cut them open. If this happened once or twice I might say it is a problem with the store not checking on the goods. However, this is an ongoing issue with many different store locations having same moldy muffin issue.
