2 Restaurants And 4 Stores To Open At Mall In Bergen County

PARAMUS, NJ — Two eateries, three stores, and an interactive attraction are debuting this season at the Westfield Garden State Plaza mall in Paramus, just in time for the holidays.

The six businesses will be among 15 new stores at the mall this year, said mall vice president Sue Newsom.

They are:

Food And Drink

Liv Breads, founded in Essex County, will open this month. The first Liv opened in downtown Millburn in 2018. Now they'll bring their artisan bakery and coffee bar concept to Westfield Garden State Plaza. Liv Breads specializes in slow-fermentation wild yeast sourdough breads, laminated pastries, and tender buns, cakes, and cookies, all made from scratch. Their bakery menu also includes sandwiches, salads, and spreads, using seasonal ingredients.

Blue Bottle Coffee's first New Jersey location opened last month. They serve their signature coffee and espresso beverages alongside a selection of culinary items. Guests can enjoy the new Kyoto-Style espresso cold drinks menu, featuring the Kyoto-Style Vanilla Bean Shakerato and Espresso Tonic, as well as favorites like the New Orleans-Style iced coffee, made with coffee, and chicory

Stores

MINISO is an Asian lifestyle brand has built an international following with its store experiences. "When you visit the new store, make sure you look for the cheerful penguin mascot of MINISO, PenPen, waddling on store posters and products," they noted. The store opened last month.

Thirdlove has a philosophy: Women deserve underwear designed around their bodies, without having to choose between comfort and style. They offer bras (including in half-cup sizes), underwear, activewear, sleepwear and loungewear. They offer in-store stylists to help. They opened late last month.

Paul Fredrick sells fine American-made menswear. The company’s Perfect Fit Guarantee promises that customers will look and feel their best. They are set to open at the end of this month.

Levi’s, the famous denim brand founded in 1873, will open in early December. Head to level 2, near Macy's, to pick out your clothes (dungarees, anyone?)

Attraction

Escapology is an immersive private escape game where players are gathered inside a themed room and must complete their mission before time runs out. They must find hidden clues, crack codes, and solve puzzles to make an escape. Each game blends cinematic design, teamwork, and suspense. They say it's perfect for friends, families, and team-building activities. It opens in mid-November near AMC Theaters, and will feature a holiday-themed escape room.

“There’s a real energy at Westfield Garden State Plaza right now, and these new openings add even more reasons for people to visit,” said Newsom. “We’re excited to carry this momentum into 2027.”
