On Tuesday evening, the Castro s Parisian-themed bakery and cafe Le Marais Bakery (498 Sanchez) had its storefront window smashed and the business burglarized, leaving its owners frustrated and disappointed in what has already been a challenging year for small business owners.
Le Marais shared the news of the burglary on their social media pages. Last night, our Castro bakery was broken into, our third bakery to have windows broken and be robbed this year, wrote co-owner Joanna Pulcini.
As Hoodline reported at the time, French-born café owner Patrick Ascaso and his wife Joanna Pulcini opened Le Marais Bakery in 2017 in the former Samovar Tea Lounge. Hoodline reached out to Ascaso and Pulcini for additional comment but did not receive a response.
