Paul Bakery and Cafe Opens 6th Restaurant in D.C. Area

We were on hand Wednesday night, Sept. 10, for the opening cocktail party for the new Paul Bakery Metro Center at 555 13th St., NW, near the National Press Building in Washington D.C. This will be the sixth Paul Bakery and Cafe to open in the D.C. area. Founded in France in 1889, the company is “built upon a foundation of time-honored production methods passed down for five generations, Paul’s Bakery philosophy is very simple: excellent bread depends on excellent ingredients and time-honored methods of production.” Paul’s U.S. flagship bakery officially opened in Penn Quarter on 2011 and was quickly followed by a second restaurant in Georgetown. Paul USA has two more restaurants in Miami, Fla., with plans to open five more this fall in the Boston, Mass., area.
