The new bakery will occupy the former Fourteen Drops wine bar on Yarm High Street following months of transformation work behind the scenes.
Father and son Stephen and Josh Palmer opened Soigné at Lowfields in Ingleby Barwick last May, quickly winning a loyal following for its pastries, croissants and speciality coffee.

Soigné was named as the new occupant of the former Fourteen Drops unit in June, sparking an enthusiastic response from the community.
Pronounced "swan-yay", Soigné takes its name from a French term meaning "elegantly made" or "carefully attended to".
The bakery says every pastry is handcrafted using carefully selected ingredients, including cultured butter from the Scottish Highlands, premium Canadian wheat flour and high-cocoa-content chocolate.
