UPDATE: A new culinary landmark is about to open in Concord! This Saturday, December 6, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., The French Spot, a bakery with roots in Michelin-starred kitchens, will officially debut at 785 Oak Grove Road, inside the Oak Grove Plaza.
The excitement is palpable as the bakery prepares to sweeten life in Concord. The first 100 customers will be rewarded with a complimentary pastry, and throughout the day, patrons can enjoy exclusive discounts and “mystery boxes” filled with assorted desserts, some hiding $30 gift cards!
Owned by Vincent Attali and Maria Zapata, both of whom boast impressive credentials from renowned restaurants, The French Spot promises to deliver a delightful array of grab-and-go items. Attali has worked in prestigious establishments such as Las Vegas’s three-Michelin-starred Joël Robuchon and New York’s Michelin-starred Daniel. Meanwhile, Zapata has trained under chocolatier Jean-Marie Auboine and has held chef roles at top venues like Esin Restaurant and Bar.
The bakery’s menu will showcase an enticing selection of pastries, including croissants, cinnamon buns, and laminated doughs, along with a significant emphasis on freshly baked breads such as baguettes and sourdoughs.
In a passionate message shared on Instagram, the team expressed their eagerness for the grand opening: “We only got approved this afternoon and have 2 days to prepare hundreds of croissants, pastries, kouign-amann, breads, and desserts. We will do our best to make it unforgettable. We want to see a long line y’all, down the entire plaza. We’ll make your time worth it in sweets.”
As anticipation builds, local residents and food enthusiasts are encouraged to arrive early to secure their place in line. This grand opening signifies not just a new business, but a fresh addition to the community’s culinary scene, and it is set to attract both local patrons and visitors eager for a taste of exceptional baked goods.
Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the flavors and expertise that have made The French Spot a beloved name in San Francisco. Mark your calendars and get ready for a sweet Saturday in Concord!
