Our Story
In 1962, Elena Moretti opened a small corner bakery with nothing but her grandmother's recipes and an unwavering commitment to quality. What started as a neighborhood secret has become a New York City institution.
Today, Elena's Bakery is run by her granddaughter, carrying forward the same recipes, the same passion, and the same dedication to baking everything fresh each morning. Every croissant is laminated by hand. Every loaf of bread rises naturally. Every cake is decorated with care.
With 3,200+ five-star reviews earned over seven years, we're humbled to be rated the #1 bakery on Google Maps in NYC. But the real measure of our success? The customers who've been coming here for generations, and the new faces who become family the moment they walk through our door.
