Soutine Bakery

Levain began as a small artisan bakery located in the heart of Manhattan's Upper West Side. First opened on December 16, 1995. Levain Bakery was founded by Connie McDonald and Pamela Weekes. Because the bakery is a small neighborhood place, where everything is made on the premises, visitors are able to watch the entire production of all the breads and cookies.

Abba's Cafe is located inside the prestigious Rose Building of the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan at 76 St. and Amsterdam Avenue. We are proud to serve the JCC community as well as the wider public. We feature a daily selection of fresh sandwiches, soups, salads and more. We are known for our hand made baked goods, from oven fresh pastries in the morning to Belgian chocolate mousse for a late afternoon treat. http://www.abbascafe.com

Walk in and you'll catch the aroma of butter and vanilla drifting through the shop—especially cozy on those crisp winter mornings. Everything here gets made by hand in tiny batches, baked fresh multiple times daily using ingredients that actually matter. Their approach skips the shortcuts: no preservatives, no stabilizers, just straightforward American desserts prepared the way bakers did decades ago. The result is treats that taste like they came from someone's kitchen, not a factory floor.
