After months of waiting, Paris Bakery & Cafe will officially open its doors in downtown State College.

The French bakery and cafe will host a soft opening on Friday, November 13, from 4 to 10 p.m., followed by its grand opening on Saturday, November 14, at 3 p.m.

The new location will be at 122 W. College Ave., in the former location of BRGR.

Paris Bakery & Cafe first announced its plans to expand to State College in April. At the time, the bakery said it would offer a larger menu and more space than its first location in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.

Its menu includes French pastries, croissants, artisan breads, specialty coffees, sandwiches, and other baked goods.

The State College location will also feature a wood-fired pizza oven, with a chef from Italy overseeing the culinary side of the operation.

The bakery’s owners previously said they hoped to bring a wider variety of food options to downtown State College.
