Hani's Bakery + Café
Dining · 1 location · NYC: East Village
The viral PB&J cake and cult cookies come from a fully independent kitchen. Owners Miro and Shilpa Uskokovic, a former Gramercy Tavern pastry chef and a Bon Appétit editor, run it themselves, with no outside investor reported and pay above minimum wage with benefits.
The Big Picture
Hani's is owned outright by Miro and Shilpa Uskokovic, the couple who built it, with no outside investor reported, no franchise agreement and no parent company. Its posted front-of-house manager role pays $70,000 to $75,000 with paid time off and a staff discount. Its coffee comes from a Brooklyn roaster that pays above fair-trade rates and its tea from a direct-trade importer, not an anonymous supplier.
