Plano just scored a fresh source of croissants and caffeine. Paris Baguette opened a new café in the city this week, adding another bakery‑café to the Dallas–Fort Worth market. The shop serves French‑style breads, pastries, cakes, savory bites and freshly brewed coffee, aiming to be a neighborhood stop for morning coffee runs and family treat breaks. Local franchise partners Charanjit "CJ" Singh and Punya Kushalappa are operating the new location.
Location and Hours
The Plano café sits at 5500 State Highway 121, Suite 100 in the Village at 121 retail center, and the company's location page lists daily hours of 6 a.m.–9 p.m. Visitors can order for dine‑in or delivery, according to Paris Baguette.
Franchisees Behind The Spot
Franchisees Charanjit "CJ" Singh and Punya Kushalappa said the café grew from a shared passion for coffee and hospitality, The Dallas Morning News reports. The paper placed the opening among Paris Baguette’s recent North Texas rollouts and noted the brand’s expanding footprint in Texas.
What’s On The Menu
The Plano café follows the chain’s typical mix of artisanal breads, French‑inspired pastries, cakes, sandwiches and Lavazza coffee, and the company says the location will offer catering and PB Rewards membership, per a company release shared via PR Newswire. The release frames the concept as a neighborhood bakery‑café that blends walk‑in pastry service with café drinks.
Part Of A Rapid Expansion
Paris Baguette operates thousands of cafés worldwide and has been accelerating its North American growth in recent years. Industry coverage notes that the brand has more than 4,000 locations globally and that its U.S. business is targeting roughly 1,000 cafés in the U.S. and Canada by 2030, according to NJBIZ.
Buildout And Local Context
State project records list the tenant for the Village at 121 space as Punya Kushalappa and Charanjit Singh and show a renovation budget of about $700,000 for a roughly 2,814‑square‑foot café, per the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Local trackers have flagged multiple Paris Baguette filings across North Texas this year, suggesting the chain will continue to add cafés in the region, as documented in a Custer Road carb invasion report.
