I simply google’d what is the best bakery in Manhattan and this came up. I now highly recommend this bakery. Please see attached photos for what the place looks like and what the food looks like. I tried the sapeh, dark chocolate explosion cookie, vanilla brioche donut, chocolate croissant, and took the peanut brittle, all day granola, and signature shortbread to go.
The person in front of me in line lived above the bakery and raved about how everything was good and that they go all the time. Everything I tried was good. The owner was on site and incredibly kind. Everyone was smiling and happy, knowledgeable and helpful. It was truly a magical experience, as the name suggests.
Sapeh is really interesting and despite all my travels, one of the few things I had not heard of. I did not expect to try something new here, but I will take visitors to check it out next time they are in town. Nyc is such a fortunate place with talented and involved people bringing high quality at our doorsteps. Thank you Umber, and all involved in my visit! What a pleasant surprise that I cannot recommend highly enough.
