Dominique Ansel bakery opened its doors November 2 on 189 Spring Street in Soho. The shop features an array of French pastry by Dominique Ansel, formerly of Daniel Boulud and Fauchon in Paris, respectively. Bakery insiders informed me that it was a successful opening with most of their sweets selling out by 4PM on Wednesday.
On your inaugural visit, Dominique Ansel Bakery recommends:
Breakfast: DKA--Dominique's Kouign Amann (pronounced KOO-WEEN AH-MAHN) which is a pastry with a flaky and tender center and a crispy caramelized outer crust. Each piece is made by the chef, Dominique Ansel himself.
Lunch: Roasted Pork Club
Dessert: Paris - NY (a twist on the Paris Brest made with chocolate, caramel, and peanuts)
Gifts: Mini-Me's (their signature line of miniature meringues)
The bakery also boasts macarons, brioches and the ever-French pain au chocolat.
Pastries costs $2.50-about $5.75
Dominique's Kouign Amann is about $5.25
Sandwiches and salads are between $9.00-$12.00
Find them at 189 Spring Street. Closest subway lines are the A,C or E. Call 212-219-2773.
