Stone Oak is getting a fresh dose of carbs and coffee this fall, with Paris Baguette lining up a new bakery cafe for San Antonio's Northside.
Permit filings show the South Korea-founded chain is taking roughly 3,750 square feet inside Stone Oak Mercantile, with the tenant build-out budgeted at about $750,000. Construction is scheduled to start in early June and wrap in October, which would put the cafe on track for a fall opening, assuming everything stays on schedule.
Local permit records reviewed by MySanAntonio and Community Impact list the address as 20135 Stone Oak Parkway, Suite 102, and describe a tenant improvement that will convert an existing cold shell into sales, dining and kitchen areas. Community Impact cites a June 4013Oct. 7 build window and confirms the $750,000 estimate, while MySanAntonio notes the Stone Oak spot will join other San Antonio locations announced this year. The filings do not include a firm grand-opening date.
Paris Baguette traces back to the Paris Croissant company, founded in South Korea in 1988, and the bakery brand entered the U.S. market in 2005, according to company materials. The chain already operates a downtown San Antonio cafe inside the Gunter Hotel, per Paris Baguette, and has been rolling out multiple Texas locations this year, as covered by CultureMap San Antonio.
Stone Oak's retail pull
Developers market Stone Oak Mercantile as a two-story, roughly 57,000-square-foot mixed retail and dining center at the corner of Stone Oak Parkway and Canyon Golf Road, a natural magnet for bakery and quick-serve concepts. Fulcrum Development's leasing flyer touts strong neighborhood demographics, and local coverage shows both independents and national chains jockeying for space along the corridor, including a recent La Panadereda flagship.
What to expect
Paris Baguette cafes typically serve cakes, sweet and savory pastries, breads, sandwiches and a full beverage program, and the chain lists similar offerings for its San Antonio locations on its site. WhatNow San Antonio reports it reached out to the tenant named on the filing, Jiwon Choi, but had not heard back by publication time, and neither the franchisee nor the landlord has announced a ribbon-cutting date.
For Stone Oak residents, the arrival of another bakery adds to an already busy Northside food scene and gives nearby shoppers one more reason to linger over breakfast or a mid-day pick-me-up. This story will be updated once permit records or the company lock in an official opening date.
