ALF Bakery

ALF Bakery ALF Bakery offers freshly baked breads, viennoiserie, pastries, babka, and sandwiches, using bread made in the "le pain vivant" style.

Fascinated by the fermentation process and traditions of bread making, owner and head baker Amadou Ly strongly believes in minimal interaction during the bread making process: le pain vivant (living bread). Having worked at some of the most respected and innovative kitchens in NYC as a pastry chef and chocolatier, Amadou turned his focus to artisanal baking at the iconic Arcade Bakery, where he pe

rfected his skills under the tutelage of Roger Gural for five years. Now, at ALF, Amadou is sharing his own vision and creations with NYC.

The 2024 Global Tastemakers panel of food and travel experts deems New York City the best city for bakeries in the United States. Long known as much for old-school babka and black-and-white cookies as it is for viral treats like the Cronut and colorful croissants, NYC is a pastry powerhouse.
