Excitement Builds for Roggenart's Grand Opening in Reston
On August 21, 2025, at 10:30 a.m., the charming town of Reston, VA, is set to welcome Roggenart European Bakery, Bistro, and Café, promising to elevate the local culinary scene. This highly anticipated grand opening will feature a colorful ribbon-cutting ceremony, attended by local dignitaries and community leaders, including Hunter Mill Supervisor Walter Alcorn and Chamber of Commerce representative Charles Kapur. As part of the festivities, the largest croissant in the state is expected to take center stage, setting the tone for a delightful experience.
Located at 12130 Sunset Hills Rd, within the RTC West business center, Roggenart has curated an enticing selection of traditional European fare. Visitors will be treated to complimentary tours, lavish samplings of delectable pastries, and unlimited coffee during the opening hours from 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The bakery's quaint ambiance is designed to offer a moment of respite for those looking to indulge in authentic European flavors.
The menu is truly a feast for the senses. Patrons can expect artisan breakfast sandwiches layered atop velvety croissants, signature omelets created with fresh ingredients, and cast iron pressed sandwiches packed with flavor. A standout feature is the bakery’s innovative “Crookie,” a blend of croissant and cookie dough that has gained national attention for its creative fusion.
Founder and CEO Neman Popov expressed his vision for the establishment, saying, "We aimed to create a welcoming space where people can experience genuine European culinary diversity while enjoying a moment of peace." This vision resonates deeply with owner and managing partner Brody Tennant, who added, "This opening signifies a significant milestone in our growth and commitment to the community."
Roggenart's roots reach back to Howard County, Maryland, where Popov opened the first U.S. location in 2017. In collaboration with Tennant, the enterprise has successfully expanded over five years, establishing itself in several Maryland cities as well as in Arlington and Reston, VA, and even Chicago, IL. With plans for even more locations on the horizon in Hampstead and Catonsville, Maryland come Fall 2025, Roggenart is poised to leave a lasting mark across the region.
