Paris Baguette Bringing Sandwiches, Salads, Dessert To New Hoboken Shop

HOBOKEN, NJ — Back in 2022, the national bakery/cafe chain Paris Baguette pledged to open 40 new stores around the country by year's end, and in fall of that year, they said their first Hudson County store would open in West New York.

Now, they plan to open a new shop across the street from Hoboken's Elysian Park, the iconic park where "On The Waterfront" was filmed.

The chain has placed signage, as well as images of rainbow cake and other goodies, in the Maxwell Place development on the corner of Sinatra Drive and Eleventh Street. See photos above.

The chain offers sandwiches, salads, hand-crafted cakes, breads, and coffee drinks. They also serve up seasonal items, pastries, and catered goods.

In New Jersey, the cafe has opened in Livingston, Fort Lee, Red Bank, and West New York. The latter has opened near the water as well, in a waterfront development called The Capstone at 17 Avenue of Imperial Blvd.

The chain also has stores in Manhattan and around the world.

A Princeton store opened in February.

Some of the more unique items that have appeared on the chain's menu have included:

• Rainbow cake and cheesecake souffle, sold whole or by the slice.
• Turkey club baguette.
• Cinnamon apple king cream donut (seasonal).

The owners of the chain, headquartered in Moonachie, expected to have at least 150 stores around the country.
