Paris Baguette plans second San Antonio café on North Side, with renovations projected to finish in August

A fast-growing international bakery brand adds a new San Antonio address

Paris Baguette, a bakery-café chain that originated in South Korea and has expanded globally, is preparing to open a new location on San Antonio’s North Side. Project filings list the site as 5518 N. Loop 1604 W., within the Landmark North shopping center.

The planned North Side shop would follow the company’s first confirmed San Antonio outpost downtown at 205 E. Houston St., inside the Gunter Hotel property. The downtown café’s published store listing includes daily morning openings and evening closing times, consistent with a bakery-and-coffee format aimed at all-day traffic.

Construction timeline: an estimate, not a firm opening date

State-level project documentation tied to the North Side buildout indicates renovations are expected to be completed in August. Such filings are commonly used to track construction scope and target completion windows, but they do not guarantee an opening date, which can shift because of permitting, inspections, staffing, supply lead times, or changes in construction sequencing.

As of the most recent public information, no definitive grand-opening date for the North Side café has been formally confirmed in a way that would lock in a day-and-date launch timeline.

What customers typically see at a Paris Baguette café

Paris Baguette locations are known for extensive pastry and bread cases with a mix of sweet and savory items, alongside a coffee program. The company’s published menu materials describe offerings that include pastries, specialty cakes, breakfast sandwiches, and a range of savory baked goods such as quiches and pizzettas, positioning the brand as both a dessert stop and a quick-meal option.

Operationally, many stores use a display-case approach that encourages customers to select items directly, supporting higher-volume bakery service compared with traditional full-service café dining.

Local context: why location and format matter

The North Side address places the new café near Loop 1604, a corridor defined by rapid residential growth, heavy commuter flows, and shopping-center clustering that favors quick-service concepts with strong morning and weekend demand. For bakery cafés, visibility, parking access, and proximity to retail anchors can be as important as neighborhood density, particularly for chains seeking repeat visits for coffee and grab-and-go food.

• Planned site: 5518 N. Loop 1604 W., Landmark North shopping center.

• Existing city presence: Downtown café at 205 E. Houston St.

• Timing: Renovation completion projected for August; opening date not yet locked in by public confirmation.

Paris Baguette’s North Side buildout signals continued chain interest in San Antonio, following its initial downtown entry and broader Texas expansion activity reflected in additional project filings elsewhere in the state.
