Dominique Ansel Bakery

Dominique Ansel Bakery is Chef Dominique Ansel's flagship shop, serving both sweet and savory items, with pastries reigning supreme. The bakery is home to many of his signature creations, from the famed Cronut (named one of TIME Magazine's "25 Best Inventions of 2013") to 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 one of Business Insider's "Most Innovative People Under 40" and one of Crain's "40 under 40", and was bestowed the l'Ordre du Mérite Agricole, France's second highest honor.

On quiet mornings on Spring Street in New York's SoHo, lines begin forming early for fresh viennoiserie, pastry, coffee and the much sought-after Cronut and DKAs. The team opens the doors with a smile, with hospitality and quality at the core of its success and of its growing base of regulars and fans from around the world. The shop features cafe seating indoors as well as a quaint outdoor backyard terrace.

Dominique Ansel received the James Beard Foundation award for Outstanding Pastry Chef in 2014.
