Where the Locals Eat Rating
Best Bread
Top 100 Restaurant, New York City
"As the smell of freshly baked bread and sweets drifts onto Ninth Avenue, locals and tourists alike line up outside of the Hell's Kitchen location to sample one of the many treats for sale ... morning pastries, coffee and espresso drinks, wonderful sandwiches, and freshly baked cookies, bars, and cakes for dessert."
– Amy's Bread website
"Amy Scherber makes and sells some of the best bread in New York ... [and] some excellent and creative sandwiches."
—The New York Times
"I am awed by the range of her breads: country sourdough, semolina raisin fennel, picholine green-olive bread, double-seeded organic whole wheat baguette, and on and on. There are big breads and small, round breads and flat, organic whole wheat walnut mini breads, rosemary mini-breads, ciabatta sandwich rolls, semolina black sesame twist, organic whole wheat oat pecan and golden raisin rolls."
—Delta Sky magazine
"[Amy's Bread] supplies more than 100 restaurants and stores with their daily bread. Not that the growth has killed any of the charm; if we didn't know better, we'd think the master was still ... baking it all herself."
