Bonrue Bakery is scheduled to make its Utah County debut on Saturday, Oct. 10, at 1545 N. Canyon Road in Provo, according to a September 29 report. The bakery will offer European-style pastries, fresh-baked bread, coffee, and sandwiches at a location within walking distance of the Brigham Young University football stadium.
The grand opening is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. with a celebratory ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring the BYU mascot, Cosmo, music, and the founders of Bonrue. The Provo location represents an expansion for the business, which has operated 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.
In addition to pastries like croissants and signature kouign amann, the menu includes breakfast and lunch items such as sandwiches and salads. The Provo location is expected to feature seasonal fall items including pumpkin pie, chocolate chip pumpkin bread, and pumpkin cheesecake. The bakery is also noted for its ability to serve over 100 guests within a 10-minute window.
The Provo bakery is the first of three planned Utah County locations, with additional sites slated for Orem and Spanish Fork by the end of 2026. A Central Baking Kitchen is also planned for Springville to support the brand's presence along the Wasatch Front.
Operating hours for the Provo location are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
Co-founder Chris Connors stated that the Provo opening provides an opportunity to bring the Southern Utah business to a new community and become part of the daily rhythm of the area.
