It'll be a few months before locals can once again partake in Paris Coffee Shop's famous pies and homestyle dishes — that's because the 95-year-old landmark has closed as it prepares for renovations starting Oct. 1.
Paris Coffee Shop is expected to reopen in early 2022. Heading the project are the same folks behind the renovation of Roy Pope Grocery: longtime restaurateur Lou Lambert, developer Mark Harris, and Roy Pope owner-operator Chris Reale, who purchased the shop from owner Mike Smith last spring.
