About Grand Central Pastry

The reason that so many customers share such a fondness for our cinnamon rolls is simple. Like our artisan breads, Grand Central pastries are made by hand, from scratch, and baked on site at each location. Our customers crave food created with no compromises - no mixes, no additives - just high-quality ingredients and time-honored techniques.

In response, we stick to the basics - real butter, fresh fruit, and natural flavorings. We fill our pies with local rhubarb and make our piecrust with high quality European style butter. We use excellent pure chocolate in our cookies and we grate fresh orange zest by hand each day for our Irish Soda Bread. These ingredients produce simple, rich and authentic flavor.

A pastry baker's day starts at 5am at their ovens, baking each day's pastries for those happy early birds that arrive to eat them warm with their lattes. Once this is completed they proceed to prepare doughs for the following day's bake, toast nuts, slice fruits, cook custards. At every stage of the bake, our bakers use their sight, smell, touch and taste to evaluate the quality of our products. It is this skilled application of knowledge that elevates our pastries from the ordinary to the artisan.
