What People Are Saying About Amy's Bread

Featured Review

Allison Austin

Contributor

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.

  1. think they were better than Magnolia's because their cake was mosre moist and buttery versus Magnolia's dry cake.
  2. Some of the best cookies I have ever tasted.

  1. They have delicious bread twists which make a handy mid-afternoon snack, and their sandwiches are truly.
  2. the goods were fresh, flavorful and reasonably priced.
  3. the first time i went to amy's i had a plum and oat quickbread, which was tasty but overpriced.
  4. Everything looks so good; the sandwiches and the other breads too.
  5. Great 3-bean lentil chili & the bread stix are also yummy.
  6. half a loaf of delicious french bread with jam and a cafe au lait.
  7. Small shop (cramped if you want ot "lunch-in"), but the bread is fantastic!
  8. On my last visit a gentleman ahead of me ordered a piece of the delicious Coconut Cake ($4.25 / recommended) and I ordered a piece of the Devil's Food Cake (also $4.25 / not great).
  9. Cheerful faces, great bread.
  10. The food is fresh and tasty, but waaaayyyy overpriced!

  1. the sweets seemed overpriced, and i'd probably go to the patisserie one block up 9th.
  2. the first time i went to amy's i had a plum and oat quickbread, which was tasty but overpriced.
  3. Great baked goods, I'm addicted to the Cherry Cream Scones, even though I think it;s overpriced, I along with half of the westside of Manhattan keep going back ?
  4. The food is fresh and tasty, but waaaayyyy overpriced!

Cheerful faces, great bread.

by mgray79 at Citysearch

I have been to this store several times to pick up breads for sandwiches or for dinner. The staff is always so helpful and friendly. They even offer to slice the bread for you according to how youre going to use it. Once they even took the time to do this for my 85 cent ciabatta. Now thats nice! Plus they are not much more expensive than the grocery store, and their bread is 100 times better.

  • Pros: Nice and helpful staff. Good prices.

Great cupcakes

by Jennylovescupcakes at Citysearch

I went there to try their cupcakes and they were really good. I think they were better than Magnolia's because their cake was mosre moist and buttery versus Magnolia's dry cake. The were also of perfect size...not to big and not to small. I recommend their cupcakes anyday.
