Amy's Bread on Postcard

"An anchor of NYC’s bread-baking scene, Amy’s opened in Hell’s Kitchen in 1992 and remains a go-to for artisan breads made with flour that’s good for you (i.e., not bleached and bromated): from white to wheat and rye in baguettes, sourdough boules, Pullman loaves, and more. Today there are seven spots to pick up bread, pastries, cakes, and other treats." - Eater Staff

"Amy's started out in Hell's Kitchen back in 1992 and in the intervening years, her business has gone gangbusters, supplying many of the city's gourmet shops with their wonderful bread and pastries. Head to any of the stores—our favorite is still the largely unchanged original—to pick up a French baguette, olive twist, or one of their delicious pastries to go. As a huge bonus, they offer bread-making classes at their Chelsea Market location where you can learn how to make everything from foccacia to thin-crust pizza."

Have been here twice. It always smells fresh and there a variety of options. Have gotten the olive bread, was decent. Also got the challah twist knot, it was fresh and nice. Would like to try the desserts for sure the next time.

Amy's Bread is within the Chelsea Market (see photos), on 9th Avenue between 15th and 16th Streets. Taxis are easily accessible from there to get you to your next destination. I had the banana cake ($7.08 including tax) which, as a whole, was very good. The flavor of the cake had a pleasing banana taste (as it should), while the white frosting, which was tasty, did not enhance the cake because its pleasing flavor was strong and blocked out the flavor of the cake when the two were together on the fork. The few nuts on top of it had no taste. A few weeks later I tried their butterscotch cashew bar, pictured ($5.00). The butterscotch flavor was strong and pleasing, but there was almost no contrast of flavor with the cashews because most of them had no recognizable flavor, as was with the nuts on the banana cake mentioned above.

Beautiful bakery with many different options of bread and pastries! I had the sticky bun and it was pretty good (wasn’t too sweet).

Very cozy place! We ordered to go so unfortunately we didn't get the chance to fully experience the place's vibe. We had a cream cheese and a PB&J bagel, plus a coffee. The bagels were tasty with a nice texture, and the filling quantity was well balanced.

Service was friendly. I was expecting to smell the scent of fresh baked bread or pastries when I walked in but sadly I didn't. Maybe this is a telltale sign.... I have heard so much about this bakery that I was excited to visit and try their goodies. Unfortunately, it was just ok. Nothing spectacular. The oat scone looked really good but it was on the dry side. Flavorwise it reminded me of the fall. The olive twist had a nice chew but was on the salty side for my personal tastes. I am glad to have tried but would not go out of my way to come back unfortunately.

We love coming to Amy’s Bread! We come here for their wonderful breads and desserts as well as their excellent coffees. They happen to make outstanding chocolate sourdough and challah sticks! They also have wonderful sandwiches and salads. However, it’s their staff that I really appreciate. Chris and Mohammed were working when I came in on a very hot summer afternoon. Chris recommended that I get a homemade iced decaf coffee and Mohammed suggested trying their homemade lemonade. I decided to buy both along with Amy’s Semolina Raisin & Fennel bread and a couple of Amy’s chocolate challah twists! Amy’s Bread has become a New York treasure and has consistently provided great breads and phenomenal desserts.

Many years ago when I started to learn how to bake I took out The Amy’s Bread cookbook from the library and I was amazed that there were so many recipes for all kinds of baked goods. I told myself I would always go to the bakery one day and see for myself. I was awestruck of all the baked goods. I got a Devil’s food cupcake because I live for chocolate. I got two chocolate sourdough rolls because I’ve never seen a pastry like that before and I got a pistachio croissant for my best friend.

I've been getting my annual birthday carrot cake from Amy's Bread for years. She makes the best carrot cake EVER! Super chunky and moist. I brought some to my family in Florida, and they were quite impressed. I can't say enough great things about Amy's Bread. Everything is really good. Here's a few notables.. Brownie with raspberries- One of the best brownies I've ever had. Semolina with fennel and raisins - So fruity. So good! Chocolate sourdough twists - Can't go wrong with sourdough and chocolate. Potato onion dill bread - best potato bread I've ever had with huge chunks of potatoes! Pumpernickel and currant roles - Best Pumpernickel ever.
