Euless has a new place for an early coffee and a box of pastries. Paris Baguette opened Oct. 9 at 2920 Rio Grande Blvd., Suite 120, in the Glade Parks development, a few minutes from the north end of DFW Airport. The doors open at 6 a.m. every day, which makes it useful for anyone heading to an early flight or a long workday on Highway 121.
The café is the bakery chain’s 29th location in Texas, and it is owned by four women. Swapna Varala leads the group. She comes out of hospitality and already owns restaurant businesses across North America. Her partners, Sunaina, Anusha and Deepthi, are software engineers taking their first run at the bakery business.
The group says it picked Paris Baguette largely for the format. Customers grab a tray and tongs, work their way along the cases at their own pace and pay at the register, which suits both a quick stop and a slow Saturday morning.
“We’re thrilled to bring the Paris Baguette experience to Euless and create a welcoming neighborhood café where families, friends and neighbors can connect,” Varala said.
State construction records show the owners put about $750,000 into turning an existing storefront into a working bakery café, with a new kitchen and new plumbing, mechanical and electrical work. Construction started in April.
The cases hold the chain’s pastries, breads and whole cakes, and the coffee bar pours Lavazza. For something more substantial, the menu runs to sandwiches like the Sourdough Turkey Melt and the Caprese Baguette.
Paris Baguette has more than 4,000 locations worldwide and more than 300 in North America, and it wants to reach 1,000 bakery cafés across the U.S. and Canada by 2030. Most of that growth depends on franchise owners like the Euless group. “We’re on a mission to re-establish the neighborhood bakery café as the heart of the community across the U.S.,” said Darren Tipton, the company’s chief executive officer.
Paris Baguette Euless opens daily at 6 a.m. Call (682) 503-2678 for evening hours or to ask about cake orders.
