A Local Favorite is Growing: Julien’s Farm Store Opens a New Location in Granby

Families in the Farmington Valley already know that Julien’s Farm Store is a must-visit destination for fresh pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and cozy farm-style charm. Now there’s even more to love — the beloved bakery is expanding with a new location in Granby.

The new café location is planned for 9 Bank Street in Geissler’s Plaza, bringing the same delicious offerings and welcoming atmosphere to a more central spot in town. 

Owner and chef Julien Tessier, a French-trained pastry chef, originally opened Julien’s Farm Store in Granby after moving to Connecticut and bringing his passion for fresh, simple cooking and baking to the local community.  Since opening, the farm store has quickly become a local favorite, known for its handmade pastries, breads, cakes, and breakfast and lunch options made from scratch on site. 

Visitors often line up early for favorites like buttery croissants, cinnamon rolls, fresh doughnuts, and hearty breakfast sandwiches served on house-baked biscuits.  Many of the ingredients are sourced locally, and the shop even uses produce and herbs grown right on the property’s garden. 

The upcoming location will allow the business to expand while keeping the original farm store open. The new space is expected to feature similar bakery favorites along with grab-and-go items like soups, salads, and pastries — creating another welcoming gathering place for the community. 

For families looking for a weekend outing, Julien’s is a great stop after exploring Granby’s farms, trails, or local events. Grab a pastry, sip a coffee, and enjoy the charm that has made this small bakery such a big hit in town.

Whether you’re stopping by for a quick treat or making it part of a family outing, Julien’s Farm Store continues to bring fresh flavors and community spirit to Granby.
