Boro Bagels

Boro Bagels is a coffee shop in Attleboro, MA. In addition to its café offerings, the shop provides sustainably sourced authentic Japanese textiles, an indigo‑dye vat service, Boro and Sashiko remaking and mending, and a personal shopper who sources vintage Japanese fabrics and antiques. These services are tailored for the Boro Living community of makers and local customers who value sustainable textile art, and the business holds a 4.70 rating.

The shop’s approach is rooted in the Japanese tradition of Boro, a practice that celebrates resilience and resourcefulness through repaired and layered fabrics. The founder’s training in East Asian art history and years of travel in Japan inform the sourcing of vintage textiles and the use of a traditional Sukumo indigo fermentation vat. Items sent for dyeing receive multiple dips for deep, uneven blue, while hand‑stitched sashiko repairs turn worn garments into functional pieces of art. The personal shopper service curates one‑of‑a‑kind fabrics and antique homewares, providing provenance and cultural context for each piece.

Boro Bagels is located at 5 Bank St #104 on Bank Street. It sits just steps from the Park Street highway and the Peters Square memorial, with the public artwork Cuddy Court Creatures nearby. A short walk of about a tenth of a mile brings patrons to Charles O. Fiske Square park and the Big A Hedge garden, while South Main Street runs close by.

By blending a coffee‑house setting with a deep commitment to sustainable Japanese textile practices, Boro Bagels offers Attleboro a distinctive combination of community gathering and mindful craftsmanship.
