Librae Bakery
Dining · 1 location · NYC: East Village
A Cooper Square bakery built on Middle Eastern flavors and Danish pastry technique. The married couple who opened it still own it outright with no investors, and its coffee traces back to a roastery one of them owns in Bahrain.
The Big Picture
Dona Murad and Andre Gerschel own Librae outright and remain its public face, with no investor, parent company, or franchise structure anywhere in the record. Posted baker pay of $20 to $22 an hour in a mid-2026 listing sits above the New York metro median for the occupation, alongside paid time off. The bakery publishes no environmental disclosures and no supplier list, so what a customer can verify stops at the two people who own it.
