Paul & Jack Now Open in DTR

New bakery takes over Layered Croissanterie

The not-so-sweet news? Beloved DTR bakery Layered Croissanterie abruptly closed in February. The sweet solution? You can still get some of your favorites—plus new discoveries—thanks to the space’s new owners.

Paul & Jack, the Euro-style bakery that’s had Wake Forest salivating on the daily since opening about a year ago, has taken over the West Street fave. Owner Jacques Matar says the Layered team reached out to him “with the opportunity to carry on their legacy in their space,” which he gladly accepted. 

The former bakery team remains intact, and Matar says they’re keeping some of the OG menu faves on offer to boot. In addition, you’re gonna wanna try Paul & Jack’s signature bombolonis, aka Italian doughnuts rolled in cinnamon sugar and filled with housemade cream or fruit confit—or any number of their other droolworthy confections. Warning: Addiction likely. @paulandjack_nc
