An American Bakery
Operating as usual
✨Yay!!!✨
We are SO thrilled to announce our new bakery location (just across the street!) on the Upper East Side at 1641 Second Avenue, on the corner of East 85th Street ~ anticipated opening in 2023!
🍰✨🧁
We can’t wait to start baking for y’all again soon!!
✨Big news!✨
The bakery will be moving to a new location!
Initially, we planned to use the downtime during the pandemic to make some necessary improvements to our kitchen and fully anticipated being open again by the fall of 2020. However, several renovation challenges caused unanticipated (and lengthy!) delays, and the solutions available to us would have made it too difficult to continue working efficiently in a space that we had already outgrown.
As it happens, our lease also ended this March! We’re now looking at larger locations that will allow us to better serve our wonderful customers and staff. While it’s bittersweet to be leaving our beloved home, we’re super excited about the possibilities of a more spacious future!
We’ll let you know as soon as we settle on a new location and will keep you updated along the way. And yes, we have every intention of reopening!
Thank you, truly, for all the warm wishes and continuing support this year! We miss you and can’t wait to get back to baking for you in our future home!
Much love from all of us,
the Hens ❤️🐔
With the fall & winter holidays approaching, we wanted to share a little update! ✨
As you may know, we’ve been working on renovations to the bakery, both large and small, concrete and digital. Many of these improvements may seem invisible when you walk in the store, but they’ll be felt deeply by our folks in the heart of the bakery and will help us to better serve you, our wonderful customer family!
Rest assured, with all the behind-the-scenes changes happening, our recipes will remain
the same, everything will still be baked right here by us, and our treats will be the same
ones you remember!
We’ve truly missed being a part of your recent celebrations and can’t imagine the holidays
without you! We still have a ways to go and expect to start baking again in the New Year.
✨Check back here for our 2021 re-opening date!✨
From all of us at the bakery, thank you so much for your continued patience & support!
✨Happy holidays, be well & can’t wait to see you again! ❤️🐔
Just a little teeny update - if you live in the neighborhood and see us around...!
We miss you SO much, but as they say, good work takes time! 🙌🏻✨ 🔨Thank you so much for your kind messages & support while we use this chaotic time to spiff up the bakery for our beloved customers & bakery family! ✨🐔🧁✨ While we don’t have a reopening date yet, please keep checking ~ we will be sure to post here in advance (please ignore hours on Yelp/Google if they say we are open before we do)! Please note that we are unable to take any orders until we reopen. 💗🐔🙏 THANK YOU!!

🐔✨Bakery Update!!✨🐔
If you’ve walked past the bakery recently, you may have seen us inside and wondered, “When will they reopen?!” The short answer is, we don’t have an exact date yet. We know, we know! We really are working on it.
For almost 20 years we’ve been baking at our current UES location, effectively 24/7, closing only on Christmas and New Year’s Day. As you can imagine, our kitchen and café are ready for a little TLC! So the silver lining in this unprecedented pandemic “downtime” is that we now have the time to make these improvements for our beloved staff and customers.
Beyond the much-needed renovations, we’re also working on modified operational plans and store layout changes to ensure a safe operating environment for everyone. This will include online ordering (at last!), as well as other improvements, large and small.
All good things take time, of course, and completing this work during a pandemic has turned out to take a bit longer than we anticipated. In the meantime, we really appreciate your patience and support and can’t wait to be back better than ever!
We miss all of you, our bakery family, so much! Be well, stay safe & see you soon! ✨❤️🐔

Normally this time of year, we’d be chopping up some rhubarb for our Strawberry Rhubarb Pie and Ginger Rhubarb Scones! ✨💕 We always have to wait patiently for the seasonal fruits to come in, which is difficult (we get too excited, and they are so special!). Not unlike right now ~ we must wait patiently for things to be safe for us to be back at work and making yummy things for all of you again! But like rhubarb, it will be totally 💕✨

✨Hey Hen Friends ~ just a little update! This time that we’ve been closed has been tough ~ we truly miss our bakery family, our neighbors, & all of our lovely customers so much!! 💕 While we are starting to work out how we might get back to business safely (our workspace is really, really small!!), we don’t yet have a plan for a safe reopening. But we WILL be back, and we promise to post here when we know more! In the meantime, please stay home and stay safe! 💕🐔 And please share your bakes with us!! .

Here’s one thing we like to use those juicy cherries for.... Cherry Cheesecake! 🍒🍒🍒 Have you ever made your own at home? Although it’s quite different from what we make at the bakery, you can even make cheesecake without baking it at all! 🤔😀
