Librae Bakery

Dining · 1 location · NYC: East Village

A Cooper Square bakery built on Middle Eastern flavors and Danish pastry technique. The couple who opened it still own it outright with no investors, and it opened serving coffee from a roastery one of them owns in Bahrain.

Founder-run

The Big Picture

Genuinely Independent

Dona Murad and Andre Gerschel, the couple who opened Librae, own it outright, with no investor, parent company or franchise in the record. A mid-2026 baker listing put pay at $20.00 to $22.00 an hour with paid time off, above the New York metro median for bakers. The bakery publishes no supplier list and no environmental data, so what a customer can check stops with the two owners.
