Oh ok yeah, now I remember that place. It had the mannequin dressed up and waving outside. Great to see La Farm coming to DTR and especially something that’s not another shitty bar going into Glenwood South.

You can put a lot in them. I love mine.
I’m not seeing anything online about Le Farm opening up here. Seems odd they aren’t promoting it
Indeed… hoping this news doesn’t mean that is delayed indefinitely, that was to be a nice adaptive reuse/expansion.

That’s because it’s La Farm, not Le Farm. 
I couldn’t find anything either. Maybe they want to wait till it’s close to opening?

Do not get eastern wake and Pittsboro confused…
Some kind of tear out / construction was happening at the Darby tonight. Didn’t see any walls getting torn down between though

Yup, I’ve been seeing that too. It’s the same people that were touring the space as well. Still not sure if it’s to restart the Darby or a new concept, but guess we’ll see in the coming months.

Legendary La Farm Bakery Announces Raleigh Expansion
With Downtown Raleigh Pop Up Opening May 22nd & Permanent North Raleigh Location Opening Late Summer
[Cary, NC – May 15, 2024] – Renowned Master Baker Lionel Vatinet, co-owner Missy Vatinet, and new COO Omar Gaye, proudly announce expansion into Raleigh twenty-five years after opening the first La Farm Bakery, in 1999. Now, with three locations in Cary (including one in Whole Foods Market), a retail location in Fuquay-Varina, UNC campus retail store, and a full-service bakery and cafe in RDU Airport, La Farm Bakery will introduce a semi-permanent pop-up in downtown Raleigh at 122 Glenwood Avenue May 22nd, open from 7:30am-7pm daily, and later this Summer, a full-service bakery and café at Creekside Crossing Shopping Center in North Raleigh. A bread breaking will take place at 11am May 22nd to celebrate the opening!
The downtown Raleigh La Farm Bakery pop-up will be open seven days a week through 2024, with the long-term goal to extend the lease long-term in downtown Raleigh. Similar to the wildly popular Fuquay-Varina pop-up location that reopened in October 2023, La Farm Bakery will deliver fresh-baked breads as they’re baked throughout the day and offer the full rotating selection of over a dozen hand crafted breads, plus pastries, sandwiches and salads, and a full Counter Culture Coffee program. While there is not a full kitchen or café at this location, there will be a menu of sandwiches and salads for guests to enjoy on and off-site throughout the day. This location offers limited seating indoors for 20 and outdoors for 10, and parking in front and streetside and in neighboring parking garages.
At 11am on May 22nd, La Farm Bakery will host their traditional and celebratory “bread breaking” in place of a ribbon cutting, in partnership with the Downtown Raleigh Alliance. The Raleigh community is invited to attend, and enjoy complimentary mini white chocolate baguettes throughout the day.

Wasn’t expecting them to open so soon. I guess since they’re adding any baking equipment it’s a pretty easy buildout.
Love to see more bakeries in downtown. Especially ones that will thin out the lines for me at downtown’s best, Boulted Bread.

The owner of the Davie/Darby is a neighbor. Last time we discussed it, he said he was exploring different ideas.
That’s been a few months, so that could have changed
