Where to Find New York's Top Breads & Pastries | Mel The Bakery -- Food Curated

Hudson Valley's Rising Star: Mel The Bakery (Twice James Beard Nominated!) 🏅

Remember that incredible bakery with all the big city buzz tucked away in NYC's Chinatown? Mel The Bakery has traded the limelight for the charm of Hudson Valley, and it's taking the local pastry & sourdough scene by storm! Founded by baking whiz Nora Allen, Mel The Bakery is all about crafting unique, bold flavors in her dough while embracing feel-good sourcing.

What makes them special? Sustainability and community are at the heart of everything they do. They use freshly milled flours with grains from local farms in the surrounding area, ensuring the freshest ingredients go into every delicious bite. This local love not only supports the hard work of farmers, but it infuses their pastries and breads with an unmatched depth of flavor. Just rip into one of their popular high-hydration sourdoughs, preferably with einkorn flour or ancient grains, and see for yourself! ✨

And guess what? Mel The Bakery's dedication to exceptional baked goods has earned them major recognition! They're not just a rising star – they've been nominated for a second James Beard Award for Most Outstanding Bakery in the country - one of the highest honors in the culinary world!

Craving a taste? Think melt-in-your-mouth, tangy sourdough, flaky croissants that shatter with every bite, and seasonal treats filled with local produce (like ramps or berries) that burst with flavor. Head over to Mel The Bakery and taste the difference a holistic, farm-to-table bakery makes! #supportlocal #sustainablebaking #jamesbeardawards #foodcurated
