Paris Baguette now open in Ross Township

ROSS TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Pittsburgh is often called the Paris of Appalachia, and now it has a new Parisienne-esque eatery.

Paris Baguette, a South Korean chain, has opened its first location in the Pittsburgh area at 8011B McKnight Road as part of the Block Northway, a Ross Township-based shopping mall, which is a separate entity from the nearby Ross Park Mall. The bakery serves a mix of French and Asian pastries, as well as sandwiches. It also has a full-service coffee bar which serves both hot and iced drinks, as well as frozen drinks and matcha teas. The location is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

“We are thrilled to bring the taste of Paris to The Block Northway,” owner Asif Shah said in a prepared statement. “Our team is dedicated to providing a unique, warm and welcoming experience for our guests and we cannot wait to share our passion for exceptional pastries and cuisine with the Pittsburgh community.”
