URGENT UPDATE: Concord, CA, is set to welcome a new culinary gem this Saturday, December 6, as renowned bakers from Michelin-starred backgrounds unveil their latest venture, The French Spot. This highly anticipated grand opening will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 785 Oak Grove Road, in the Oak Grove Plaza.
The excitement is palpable as the bakery prepares to delight the community with delicious offerings. The first 100 customers will receive a complimentary pastry, while all visitors can enjoy exclusive daylong discounts and surprise “mystery boxes” containing assorted desserts—some even hiding $30 gift cards inside!
Owned by accomplished chefs Vincent Attali and Maria Zapata, The French Spot is an extension of their popular San Francisco bakery. Both have impressive culinary credentials that will tantalize local taste buds. Attali has honed his craft in prestigious establishments like the three-Michelin-starred Joël Robuchon in Las Vegas and Daniel in New York. Meanwhile, Zapata boasts experience working alongside chocolatier Jean-Marie Auboine and has held pastry chef positions at several acclaimed restaurants.
The bakery promises to deliver a variety of grab-and-go items, including flaky croissants, gooey cinnamon buns, and artisanal breads like baguettes and sourdough. Their commitment to quality and creativity is evident as they prepare hundreds of pastries and breads for the grand opening.
Just this Thursday, the team shared on Instagram, “We only got approved this afternoon and have two days to prepare hundreds of croissants, pastries, kouign-amann, breads, and desserts. We will do our best to make it unforgettable.” Their enthusiasm is infectious, as they encourage the community to come out in droves: “We want to see a long line y’all, down the entire plaza. We’ll make your time worth it in sweets.”
As the clock ticks down to the grand opening, local residents are buzzing with anticipation. This bakery is not just a new addition to Concord; it represents a blend of high culinary standards and the warmth of a community gathering spot.
