La Farm Bakery is expanding into Raleigh with two new locations.
The bakery, which opened its first location in Cary 25 years ago, will open a semi-permanent pop-up in downtown Raleigh at 122 Glenwood Ave. on May 22. It will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily through the rest of the year. The goal is to extend the lease long-term.
Later this summer, La Farm will open a full-service bakery and cafe at Creekside Crossing Shopping Center in north Raleigh.
Renowned Master Baker Lionel Vatinet, co-owner Missy Vatinet, and new COO Omar Gaye,
“It’s been an honor to grow with this community. With our thriving production facility in downtown Cary and strong team of bakers and front-of-house professionals, we’re excited to finally make our sourdough breads and pastries even more accessible to our fans in Raleigh, and reach new bread lovers who live, work and visit Raleigh,” said co-owner Lionel Vatinet, a three-time James Beard Foundation “Outstanding Baker” nominee.
Similar to the bakery’s Fuquay-Varina pop-up location that reopened in October 2023, La Farm’s downtown Raleigh location will offer fresh-baked breads, pastries, sandwiches and salads, and a full Counter Culture Coffee program. There will be limited indoor and outdoor seating.
A “bread breaking” and ribbon cutting will take place at 11 a.m. on May 22. The community is invited to attend, and enjoy complimentary mini white chocolate baguettes throughout the day.
La Farm Bakery has three locations in Cary, including one inside Whole Foods Market, a retail location in Fuquay-Varina, a retail location on UNC’s campus and a full-service bakery and cafe inside RDU-International Airport.
