MK Cannelle, a celebrated French bakery, is set to broaden its reach with the launch of new locations in Northville and Rochester next month.

Northville, MI—MK Cannelle, a renowned French bakery brand, is poised to expand its footprint with the opening of two new locations in Northville and Rochester next month. The bakeries will debut at 156 N Center Street in Northville and 4480 Orion Road in Rochester, both scheduled to open in either the first or second week of September 2025.
These new establishments will function as both a bakery and a coffee shop, offering a blend of freshly baked goods and beverages for customers to enjoy. Popular items from MK Cannelle’s menu include butter and chocolate croissants, 1-pound loaves of bread, fraisier cake, tiramisu, tarts, and a selection of breakfast sandwiches, salads, and grab-and-go items. Customers will also have the convenience of placing online orders in addition to in-store purchases.
While the Northville location has already broken ground this year, construction for both sites is contingent upon receiving the necessary permits. As of now, no grand opening dates have been confirmed.
The owner and chef of MK Cannelle, Matt Knio, has been exploring new locations in the suburbs for around seven months. His journey into the world of pastry began in France, where he grew up before becoming the head pastry chef at the Ritz Carlton in Michigan. In 2013, Knio launched his first bakery, and since then, the Cannelle brand has grown significantly, currently operating six locations with two additional ones on the way.
The Northville bakery will be conveniently located in downtown, near popular establishments such as Rebecca’s Family Restaurant & Ice Cream Parlor and Center Street Grille. Meanwhile, the Rochester location will be positioned at the intersection of Orion and Gallagher roads, promising easy access for residents and visitors alike.
As MK Cannelle prepares for its upcoming openings, further information about the bakery’s offerings and updates on the construction can be found on the company’s website, mkcannelle.com. The expansion reflects the growing demand for quality pastry and coffee experiences in suburban areas as more consumers seek out local dining options.
