David Bouley Bakery

In November 2008, with space opening up in the Mohawk Building, the Flagship Restaurant moved to its current location at Duane and Hudson Streets, opposite Bouley’s first namesake restaurant of 1987.

The Bouley Bakery and Market then shifted to the former restaurant space and it quickly became a community hot spot offering over 500 freshly prepared items to enjoy at home or in the café. It served bread, pastries, and other baked goods, as well as meat fish and over 50 hot items created on premises, the bakery catered to over 5,000 guests daily.

Upon reopening of Bouley Restaurant, he moved to focus on his creative signature cooking style and less on retail.

He was awarded the “Best Restaurant Award in the United States” from TripAdvisor’s Traveler’s Choice Awards, ranking #15 in the world. He also received 29 out a 30 rating in Zagat.

The zagat asked its 7,000 diners, “Where you would you eat the last meal of your life?” Respondents “overwhelmingly” chose Bouley in 1997. The Bouley restaurant then moved location and opened up as the Bouley Bakery.
