In the first big opening at Rockville Town Square since new owners took over last fall, Paris Baguette made its debut this week at the corner of Gibbs Street and East Middle Lane. This is the first Maryland location for the South Korean chain, which has a major presence in New York and is now aiming for 1,000 U.S. stores by 2030. Paris Baguette is known for its coffee and fresh baked goods — croissants, cookies, pastries and pies, as well as grab-and-go sandwiches, breads, and a variety of fancy cakes. The Rockville location features ample seating plus a picture window where you can watch the pastry chefs in action.
