Somedays Bakery, a fast-growing Queens-based bakery known for its artisanal croissants and expertly brewed La Colombe coffee, will open its second location in Long Island City on Friday, Jan. 31.

The new bakery will be located at 4630 Center Blvd., bringing its celebrated blend of French tradition and modern flair to the heart of LIC’s waterfront community.

To celebrate the grand opening, the first 100 customers will receive a free small cold brew coffee or soft serve. The Long Island City location marks an important step in the bakery’s expansion, as plans are already underway for future openings in Bay Terrace, Montclair, and beyond.

Phillips, along with CFO Dion Vangelatos, CDO Eddie Mamiye, and Chief Culinary Officer Arlander Brown, has built the bakery’s reputation on delivering handcrafted pastries that elevate the everyday.
