Somedays Bakery, a fast-growing Queens-based bakery known for its artisanal croissants and La Colombe coffee, will open its second location in Long Island City on Friday, Jan. 31.

The new bakery will be located at 4630 Center Blvd., bringing a blend of French tradition with a modern flair to the heart of LIC’s waterfront community.

To celebrate the grand opening, the first 100 customers will receive a free small cold brew coffee or soft serve. The Long Island City location marks an important step in the bakery’s expansion, as plans are already underway for future openings in Bay Terrace, Montclair, and beyond.

The bakery first opened in Astoria in April 2023 and quickly became a local favorite. Founded by Peter Phillips, co-founder of Chip City Cookies, Somedays Bakery combines time-honored French baking techniques with a welcoming, community-focused approach. Phillips, CFO Dion Vangelatos, CDO Eddie Mamiye, and Chief Culinary Officer Arlander Brown have built the bakery’s reputation on delivering handcrafted pastries that ‘elevate the every day.’
