La Paix Bakery opens Miami Shores hybrid bakery and café

La Paix Bakery will celebrate the grand opening of its new Miami Shores location on Oct. 27, expanding its South Florida reach with a larger retail-and-manufacturing site, an expanded menu and plans for custom cakes and shipping. The move is designed to boost access in Miami-Dade County and support the bakery’s growing wholesale distribution.

Why it matters: - La Paix Bakery’s Miami Shores expansion adds retail, café and manufacturing capacity in a key South Florida market with a large Haitian community. - The new site is built to support broader distribution across grocery stores, supermarkets and mass retailers. - The location also gives the bakery room to add products and services that can deepen customer reach beyond walk-in sales.

What happened: - La Paix Bakery has opened a new location at 9636 NE 2nd Ave. in Miami Shores. - The hybrid manufacturing and retail site soft-opened in fall 2026. - The company will hold its official grand opening on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2026. - A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m. with the Miami Shores Chamber of Commerce. - Guests at the grand opening will receive complimentary La Paix Bakery bags and product samples.

The details: - The Miami Shores store has a café-style layout with indoor and outdoor seating. - The expanded menu will include egg breakfast sandwiches, fritay fried appetizers and daily hot meal options. - La Paix Bakery also plans to launch custom cakes and a domestic shipping program. - The Miami Shores location is led by co-owners Yolande Derosier, Nadeige Sterlin and Natasha Nozile-Janvier. - La Paix Bakery was founded in Miramar in 2005 by Derosier, the late Lucien Nozile and Sterlin. - The bakery focuses on fresh hard-dough breads, savory pastries, traditional sweets and comfort meals. - Derosier and Nozile have helped mentor and launch seven other Haitian bakeries across Florida and Georgia. - Sterlin has more than 13 years of experience in consumer packaged goods and food and beverage roles in strategy, sales and marketing. - Nozile-Janvier has experience in marketing, operations and recipe refinement. - The 3,200-square-foot Miami Shores location will operate Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. - More information is available on the company’s website, by phone at 305-364-5467, or on Facebook and Instagram at @LaPaixBakery.

Between the lines: - The Miami Shores opening is as much a capacity play as a retail expansion. - The new footprint gives La Paix Bakery more room to scale production while keeping its cultural and family-owned identity front and center. - Sterlin said the Miami-Dade location is meant to make the bakery more accessible to customers in a county with Florida’s largest Haitian population and to connect the diaspora and local community through food.

What’s next: - La Paix Bakery will use the Miami Shores site to expand distribution and test new offerings. - The bakery is preparing to add custom cakes and domestic shipping after the opening. - The company is positioning the location as a broader platform for growth across South Florida and beyond.
