“The expansion of our bakery cafés into Canada marks an exciting period of growth for Paris Baguette,” said Darren Tipton, Chief Executive Officer, Paris Baguette North America. “We can’t wait to celebrate moments of joy with our guests as we establish our neighborhood bakery cafés in Toronto and bring our vision to life throughout Canada.”

As for what we can expect, in Toronto, the bakery is 2,300 sq. ft. and has seating for up to 20 guests. There is an open kitchen concept, which provides a window into the bakers and cakers at work behind the scenes.

“The café has a modern design with French architectural features that add eclectic flair,” states the brand.

Paris Baguette already has several US locations, and it is projecting 1,000 more in North America by 2030. It says it “is on a mission to reestablish the neighborhood bakery café as the heart of the community.”
