Middletown is set to get a new sweet spot. Paris Baguette had scheduled its grand-opening celebration for Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 309 Middletown Warwick Road, next to Honeygrow at the front of the shopping center.
The café had been building buzz for weeks. According to Town Square Delaware, Paris Baguette had planned its grand-opening celebration for Tuesday, Nov. 10, at the Middletown Warwick Road address. The location is listed by Paris Baguette itself, which describes the shop's offerings as handcrafted cakes, freshly baked pastries and breads, and Lavazza coffee.
Behind the new storefront is franchisee Payal Shah, whose Paris Baguette expansion includes a Cherry Hill, New Jersey, location.
A Growing Footprint Across Four States
Shah's ambitions extend well beyond Middletown. She plans more than 16 Paris Baguette locations.
How It Compares to Delaware's Pennsylvania Neighbor
Paris Baguette's expansion into the region echoes a similar debut just over the state line. A Newtown Square location held its ribbon cutting and grand opening celebration on Oct. 24, 2025, according to the Delco Times. That opening featured a free pastry for the first 100 guests, an 11 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony and free samples throughout the day.
The Newtown Square shop, located at 104 Squire Drive and open daily from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., is owned by Vicky Yan, a former finance professional, per the Delco Times. At the time of that report, Yan already had two additional locations in the works, suggesting the chain's franchisee network is growing on multiple fronts at once.
For Middletown residents, the planned café would add another option along Middletown Warwick Road. Shah plans more than 16 Paris Baguette locations.
