Dominique Ansel Bakery is Chef Dominique's flagship shop, serving both sweet and savory items, with pastries reigning supreme, the Bakery is home to many of Chef Dominique’s signature creations – from his famed Cronut® (named one of TIME Magazine’s “25 Best inventions of 2013”), the Cookie Shot, Frozen S’more, Blossoming Hot Chocolate, baked-to-order Mini Madeleines, and many more.
For his prolific creativity, Chef Dominique was named the World’s Best Pastry Chef in 2017 by the World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards. Food & Wine has called him a “Culinary Van Gogh” while the New York Post coined him “the Willy Wonka of New York.” He was also named Business Insider’s “Most Innovative People Under 40,” one of Crain’s “40 under 40,” and was bestowed the prestigious l’Ordre du Mérite Agricole, France’s second highest honor.
In the quiet mornings on Spring Street in NYC’s famous SoHo, lines begin forming early in the morning for fresh viennoiserie, pastry, a cup of coffee, and to enjoy our much sought after Cronut® and DKAs. We open the doors with a smile, hospitality and quality being tantamount to our successes and to our ever developing base of regulars and fans from around the world.
