French Bakery with New York Heart
I started Crescent Bakes because I missed one simple pleasure: warm, freshly baked bread.
Growing up in Paris, France, fresh bread was part of my everyday life. I moved to New York in 2014 and worked in advertising until I had my two children. That’s when I realized how difficult it was to find the kind of bread I wanted to feed my family. So I started making it myself.

Hands in, additives out.
We mix, shape, and bake every loaf by hand. No machinery, and no additives, because handmade bread doesn't need help surviving the process. That's why our loaves aren't always perfectly uniform.
When you buy a Crescent Bakes loaf, you're buying from real bakers - not a factory.
Slow bread is better.
We use three basic ingredients: flour, sea salt, water. Our flour comes from King Arthur, never bleached or bromated. Everything ferments slowly in 24 to 72 hours.
Slow fermentation means more flavor, easier digestion, and loaves that stay soft on your counter for 4 days wrapped in a kitchen towel. Great bread can't be rushed.
Every crumb considered.
We want you to enjoy your bread with zero guilt. At Crescent Bakes, every decision is made with care and people in mind.
- Our loaves and baguettes are larger than most, so you get more bread for your money.
- Our driver receives 100% of your delivery fee.
- Our prices include taxes so what you see is what you pay.
- We minimize waste in our production process: loaves cold proof in reusable cheesecloths (washed after every use), and our packaging is 100% plastic-free.
