The new café is set to pop up at the prime intersection of Beach Boulevard and San Pablo Road. A crew from First Coast News has already spotted a beautiful, lit-up sign featuring the café’s branding gracing this new location, and it gives a promising hint of what’s to come!
A Taste of France in Every Bite

Exciting Sneak Peeks and Updates
On social media, the team at Le Petit Paris funnily teased a “big announcement” scheduled for Tuesday, giving their followers glimpses of the new spot’s flooring, vibrant artwork, and sparkling lights. However, the café has yet to pin down a specific grand opening date, so keep your eyes peeled!
All the Space You Need
This new venue promises to be quite the adventure, boasting a footprint of around 4,000 square feet, which is double the size of their other locations! With room to seat between 110 and 120 patrons, and an enticing outdoor seating area for approximately 50, this café is poised to be a social hub in the neighborhood. The design draws inspiration from French impressionist Claude Monet, enveloping customers in a warm, pastel ambiance that evokes a Parisian dining experience. Each table will be adorned with fresh flowers, embodying the café’s charm.
Your New Go-To Spot
For those worried about noise, fear not! The new café will feature outdoor dining paired with landscape buffering to minimize traffic clatter. Moreover, the bustling café plans to employ a dedicated team of around 70 staff members to deliver that sought-after “café feel” without drive-thrus or televisions, encouraging visitors to relax and truly savor their meals.
What’s Cooking?
The initial operating hours will be set for weekdays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and weekends from 8 a.m. to 5 or 6 p.m., although these times may adjust as the café settles in. But that’s not all; the new restaurant will also serve as a prep kitchen for their other locations, helping streamline operations while maintaining quality.
Looking Ahead
As if the existing menu isn’t enough to tickle your taste buds, there are plans for future offerings that could include tempting dishes like French toast, tartines, and crepes, as well as catering services too!
While the grand opening hasn’t been announced yet, it’s safe to say that Jacksonville is getting ready to welcome a little taste of France. So, get ready to indulge in artisan goodies and immerse yourself in that dreamy, vibrant Parisian vibe. Bon appétit!
