Dominique Ansel Bakery is a celebrated New York City bakery founded by French pastry chef Dominique Ansel in November 2011 in Soho. Founded with just four employees, the bakery has been recognized as Time Out New York’s Best Bakery and Zagat’s highest-ranked bakery in the city.

Centered on creativity, the bakery is the birthplace of many of Ansel’s signature desserts, including the DKA (Dominique’s Kouign Amann), made-to-order Madeleines, the Cookie Shot, Frozen S’mores, Blossoming Hot Chocolate, and the now-iconic Cronut®. Launched in May 2013, the Cronut®—a croissant-doughnut hybrid—transformed the small Soho shop into a global phenomenon and solidified Dominique Ansel Bakery’s reputation as one of the most innovative bakeries in the world.

Today, the bakery remains a symbol of inventive pastry-making, where classic technique meets playful imagination.
