Bonrue Bakery made its Utah County debut on Saturday, Oct. 10, at 1545 N. Canyon Road in Provo, according to a report published Oct. 11.
The new location is situated within walking distance of LaVell Edwards Stadium and offers European-style pastries, fresh-baked bread, coffee, and sandwiches.
The grand opening featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony involving BYU mascot Cosmo, music, and the bakery's founders. The Provo location marks a significant expansion for the business, which has been growing its presence in Southern Utah since its launch in 2021.
Founded by Chris Connors, Li Hsun Sun, and the late Chris Herrin, the bakery was formerly known as Farmstead. The establishment is recognized for its specialty coffee, scratch-made breads, and a menu featuring items such as signature kouign-amann, croissants, sandwiches, and salads. The bakery is noted for its ability to serve more than 100 guests within a 10-minute window.
The Provo site is the first of three planned Utah County locations for Bonrue Bakery by the end of 2026. The company intends to open additional locations in Orem and Spanish Fork, alongside a planned Central Baking Kitchen in Springville to support its Wasatch Front presence.
Seasonal menu offerings for the fall include pumpkin pie, chocolate chip pumpkin bread, and pumpkin cheesecake. Everyday menu items include a roasted veggie sandwich and a kale and ancient grain salad.
The bakery operates with specific weekly hours: from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Connors stated that the Provo opening provides an opportunity to bring the Southern Utah business to a new community and become part of the local daily rhythm.
