The original Amy's bakeshop continues to thrive in Hell's Kitchen.

In Short
Owner Amy Scherber opened this, her first bakery, on Ninth Avenue in Hell's Kitchen in 1992. She's since expanded to the Chelsea Market, where most of the bread is now baked for all the stores, and then to a location on Bleecker. Most renowned for breads incorporating olives, herbs, nuts, even prosciutto, the bakery also features cakes like Red Velvet and coconut cream. Sandwiches and salads are available for take-out lunches.
