By James H. Sterling
Q1: What are the current bakery menu and hours for Café Dear Leon in Canton?

The bakery remains closed Monday through Wednesday for production and recipe development. The menu rotates seasonally around core fixtures like the crab dip bagel, shokupan breakfast sandos, and hourly pastry drops.
Q2: When is La Maison at 2600 N Howard St scheduled to open?
A2: Following the fall announcement, build-out and permitting phases for the Remington property point toward an opening later this year, with initial daytime espresso and pastry service debuting ahead of full evening pizza operations.
Q3: Will the original Canton bakery change its operations once La Maison opens?
A3: No operational changes have been announced for the Canton flagship. The original shop will maintain its Thursday through Sunday schedule and its focus on artisan pastries, while La Maison operates as an independent hybrid concept in Remington.
