Supermoon Bakehouse
Coffee · 2+ locations · NYC: Lower East Side, Chelsea Market
Supermoon Bakehouse built its name on rainbow-hued cruffins and croissants that take up to four days to make, all from one Lower East Side storefront. Co-founders Ry Stephen and Aron Tzimas still own it, funding a 2026 Chelsea Market expansion with no outside investors on record.
The Big Picture
Supermoon Bakehouse is still owned outright by the two people who started it, pastry chef Ry Stephen and designer Aron Tzimas, with no investor or parent company turning up in any record. Its bakers earn above New York's minimum wage, and city health inspectors have never closed its Lower East Side kitchen. As a small, founder-run bakery, its labor and environmental record is still thin, built on wage postings and its own sourcing claims rather than certifications or third-party audits, but it answers to its two owners, not a fund.
