UPDATE: The soft open has been pushed back to Dec. 21
It looks like the wait for Vancouver’s first Paris Baguette is finally almost over.
After months of silence, the team behind the popular Korean-French bakery café has shared some exciting updates about the much-anticipated Alberni Street location.
In a video on their new Chinese social media account, the Vancouver team revealed the progress of their renovations and shared behind-the-scenes moments, including their team’s trip to California for training in perfecting Paris Baguette’s signature pastries and cakes.
When asked about the opening date, Paris Baguette confirmed to Noms Magazine that the downtown Vancouver location will be “open to the public around Christmas.”
On Dec 15th, the Alberni Paris Baguette Instagram made a post announcing their soft opening is Dec 20th.
It is unsure if it is coincidental as the Coquitlam outpost will be grand opening on that same day, even though the ownership is different.
Regardless, this upcoming location will mark Paris Baguette’s debut in Vancouver.
Previously, we shared the exciting news of its ‘Coming Soon’ signs spotted last December.
Situated on Alberni Street, this bakery will join a prime dining corridor, nestled between the upcoming Din Tai Fung and the Michelin-recognized Archer restaurant.
Known for its sleek and welcoming spaces, Paris Baguette locations around the world are beloved for their self-serve displays filled with fresh pastries, breads, and cakes.
Signature treats like the Strawberry Soft Cream Cake and mochi donuts are likely to make an appearance here as well, along with an open kitchen where visitors can see the artistry behind the creations.
Paris Baguette has been aggressively expanding across North America, aiming for 1,000 locations by 2030.
With over 4,000 stores worldwide, the chain’s mission is to bring the neighborhood bakery café experience to life—and Vancouver’s vibrant downtown food scene is next in line.
There is also a location in Coquitlam that is in progress.
