With little fanfare, Larder and Cupboard, a specialty food shop co-owned by Brian Pelletier of Kakao Chocolate, and Cindy Higgerson, opened late Sunday afternoon, at 7310 Manchester Road.
“So the boss just ripped the paper off the windows. Ready or not…” Higgerson posted on Twitter. She’s @mcharcuterie.
The official store opening is Wednesday; the ribbon cutting is Nov. 18 at 5:15 p.m.
Higgerson said lots more product is due to arrive, beginning with a truckload on Monday.

In the store Sunday afternoon was bourbon barrel aged vanilla extract, bitters, cocktail kits, jams, jellies, preserves and honeys. Higgerson said no one in the Midwest is selling Mike’s Hot Honey, from New York. There is also locally-produced cheese.

Hours for Larder and Cupboard will be 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday; same as Kakao Chocolate (7272 Manchester Road).
I am also excited to try this new place. Christmas will be here sooner than we think (or at least sooner than I think, anyway). My partner and I love to shop local when we can. Thanks for offering yet another place to shop within our very own “Foodie Mecca.”
Thank you! We are excited to be a part of the growing food community in Maplewood.
Very excited to try out this new shop. It seems like a good fit for Maplewood.
Thank you!
Great concept
Thank you!
