Patisserie 29 will open in Edwardsville in fall 2024

Owners Amy and Matt Herren will relocate 1929 Pizza & Wine as part of the new concept

Amy and Matt Herren of 1929 Pizza & Wine have announced plans to open a new patisserie called Patisserie 29 in Edwardsville in the fall of 2024. The Herrens are still working on securing a location for the project, but they plan to relocate their 1929 Pizza & Wine concept from its current location in Wood River to Edwardsville as part of the move.  

Amy Herren said that the new location will operate as a “patisserie in the a.m.” then serve as the new outpost for 1929 Pizza & Wine (Sauce’s No. 4 Best New Restaurant of 2023) in the evening. Amy Herren said that Patisserie 29 will offer a “higher end” and “more refined” take on pastries, and the patisserie will also feature an espresso-based coffee program (Matt Herren was also a co-founder of Goshen Coffee Roasters). 

The Herrens have been a fixture on the Edwardsville food scene on and off for the past two decades. In addition to co-founding Goshen, Matt Herren also founded 222 Artisan Bakery, before eventually selling both businesses. Meanwhile, Amy operated Fond in Edwardsville from 2008 to 2011. A statement from the Herrens said that following the closure of 222 Artisan Bakery in February this year, “there has been a groundswell of support from the community urging their return.”

“While we are still finalizing the details, we are thrilled to share that we are in the process of securing a lease and aim to open our new patisserie before fall,” said Amy Herren in the statement. Herren also said that 1929 Pizza & Wine will continue operations in Wood River until they are ready to move into the new location.
