After years of working in some of America's most iconic restaurants, Chef Tova du Plessis decided to go back to her roots when she opened her first bakery. She took inspiration from the fresh baked bread and pastries she would make alongside her mother as a child. Her food reflects her heritage while being heavily influenced by her technical training.
Essen Bakery is a cozy neighborhood spot where a big city can feel like a small town. We buy freshly roasted coffee beans from Elixr, our favorite local roaster. Fridays are extra busy as people trickle in throughout the day for a challah or sweet for Shabbat. Saturdays and Sundays are crowded and lively as fans from all over the city and the country make their weekend complete with a slice of babka.
