Las Vegas, here we come! We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Dominique Ansel Las Vegas at Caesars Palace, opening on October 21, 2022. Chef Dominique will be bringing his iconic creations – from the Cronut to the Cookie Shot, Frozen S’mores, DKA (Dominique’s Kouign Amann), and more – as well as classic French viennoiserie baked fresh in house every morning. And as is tradition with each of Chef Dominique’s shops around the world, a brand new collection of pastries will make their debut exclusively in Las Vegas and no where else in the world – our “Lucky 7” pastries each inspired by lucky symbols and good fortune. We can’t wait to see you all in Las Vegas soon!

Chef Dominique recently visited his native France as a featured judge on the new season of Top Chef France, where he challenged the contestants to create a dish that’s all about transformation. From the taste to the textures, colors, and flavors, it was all about capturing a moment in time that changes and transforms right on the plate.

This year marks Chef Dominique’s 15th year in New York City, so to celebrate, we’ve transformed our entire pastry case into a dessert tribute to NYC with 9 brand new pastries inspired by all the things we love about the Big Apple! From a Bodega Coffee Cup Tiramisu to an “Everything Bagel & Schmear” Pavlova, a New York Slice of pizza (that’s actually a strawberry tart), a Haute Dog made of raspberry cremeux and lady finger “buns” and more – it’s the most delicious ode to NYC!  

Stop in to the Bakery through Labor Day (September 2nd) to try the full line-up, which includes:   

• Bodega Coffee Tiramisu – a nod to those iconic blue coffee cups at the corner bodega, with espresso & amaretto-soaked almond biscuit, mascarpone ganache, and dark chocolate mousse

• Pretzel – inspired by fluffy street cart soft pretzels, with pretzel bavaroise, soft caramel, and crispy peanut butter feuilletine
• Haute Dog – New Yorkers’ favorite snack, a hot dog with the works! – but in this case, made with fluffy biscuit à la cuillère (ladyfingers) soaked in coconut syrup, with raspberry cremeux, passion fruit curd, and shredded coconut
• A Bite of the Big Apple – with apple gelée, fresh Gala apples, and vanilla bavaroise, set atop vanilla sablé with a hint of sharp cheddar (a nod to a classic apple pie crust)

Chef Dominique and Team DAB are excited to announce the launch of a brand new concept at the heart of London’s Covent Garden neighborhood, coming soon and marking our second location across the pond. 

Stay tuned here for more details! 

Chef Dominique and Team DAB are excited to welcome Chef Cédric Grolet to NYC for a three-day pop-up April 5-7 at Dominique Ansel Bakery. This marks the very first time that Cédric has ever served his pastries outside of Paris, bringing 3 of his iconic fruit pastries to the Big Apple for this exclusive collaboration.

Stop by the Bakery in Soho from 8am on Friday, April 5 and Saturday, April 6, and from 9am on Sunday, April 7 (while supplies last).

We’re excited to announce we’ll be bringing a brand new concept to Hong Kong soon! Stay tuned for updates, as we get ready to create something entirely new, something that isn’t the Cronut®, something that isn’t DAB altogether, to Hong Kong for the first time.

The Cronut® is turning 5 years old this month, and we’re celebrating around the world in our shops in Soho, Tokyo, London, and Los Angeles on Saturday, May 12th with complimentary Cronut® Holes in our very first flavors from each city! Stop by and wish our little pastry a Happy 5th Birthday!

Our friends at Good Morning America spoke with a few of our favorite guests about their Cronut® memories. Read the whole story below, and be sure to stop by on May 12th to celebrate with us!

Circumference / diameter = pi(e)! ? We’re excited to be a part of today’s Google Doodle to celebrate Pi Day. For Chef Dominique, part of what he loves most about baking is that it’s a combination of mathematics, science, and art – it has to be measured, precise, and exact, and with a little butter, flour, sugar, and eggs, and a whole lot of imagination, you can create anything. Happy π Day!

Welcome two brand new additions to the Dominique Ansel family: our new Los Angeles shop, Dominique Ansel Bakery Los Angeles, and our first-ever restaurant, 189 by Dominique Ansel, now officially OPEN at The Grove!

We’re excited to share a brand new menu of pastries out on the West Coast, and most of all, our first-ever restaurant complete with dinner, a full bar and cocktail program, and a really fun and new way to enjoy brunch that we’re calling Weekend Table.

Check out all the details at www.DominiqueAnselLA.com, and we’ll see you soon at our new West Coast home!

It’s official! Our LA restaurant now has a name: 189 by Dominique Ansel will be opening at The Grove this coming Fall 2017. The name is a special one for Chef Dominique, as our original Soho Bakery is located at 189 Spring Street, where everything began in 2011 with just four employees. Our LA address just happens to be at 189 The Grove Drive, so it was meant to be! It reminds us of our home and now we’ll have a second home on the West Coast too.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Congratulations to Chef Dominique for being named the World’s Best Pastry Chef by the World’s 50 Best Restaurant Awards!  Chef Dominique was awarded this prestigious honor at the annual awards ceremony which took place in Melbourne, Australia this year.

Thank you to all of our guests who have visited us from all over the world in New York, Tokyo, and London! We are so grateful to have such wonderful guests who inspire us to continue creating every day.

We’re excited to announce that this Fall 2017, Chef Dominique will be opening his first-ever full-service restaurant in Los Angeles. This will mark Chef’s largest project to date, and of course his eponymous Bakery will also be at the heart of it all. The LA Times shares the news first – read more about it here, and stay tuned for updates!
