How it All Started

Meet Fabian Ton, the Dutch baker from Boston known for his European pastries. Ton started Fabian's European Pastries over 19 years ago as a small business to cater to people who appreciate exceptional flavor and high quality cookies, cakes, tarts and pastries. Today, Fabian continues to expand his selection and shares his products with a wider audience through the Melrose Farmer’s Market in Melrose, Massachusetts.

In 1987, he moved to the US after reading an advertisement in a Dutch newspaper asking for Dutch pastry bakers to start a European bakery in Boston. After that, Fabian decided to start working for hotels and continued to sell his European specialties to the Dutch community.

Shortly after, a journalist published an article in the Boston Globe after trying some of Fabian’s products, making his ‘Kerststollen’ instant celebrities. The article resulted in countless orders and many Americans now know their way to Fabian too. Years of experience led to impressive projects such as making pastries for the Royal family during their stay in New York, the Dutch soccer team during the World Championships in Orlando and the Tulip Festival at Hofstra University.

Melrose Farmer’s Market starts up again in June , 2022, Thursdays 1 - 6 pm. Fabian is also at a year round farmers market - the Salem Farmer’s Market in Salem, NH on Sundays 10am-1pm. To order Farmer’s Market products ahead of time, please call 781.697.7912 or email - fabianton1967@hotmail.com.
