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.

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.’

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
