Silver Moon Bakery

"Neighborhood bakery offering artisan breads, French pastries, cakes & tarts, plus sidewalk seating."

Silver Moon Bakery is an Upper West Side neighborhood bakery in New York City offering artisan breads, French pastries, cakes, and tarts. Known for slow-rise traditional bread methods, a visible in-house bread oven, and cakes available by special order in sizes feeding 100 or more guests; large ceremonial challahs are also a signature item, shipped nationally for special occasions. Founded in November 2000 by Judith Norell and co-owner Georgia Stamoulis, Silver Moon was the first artisan bakery to open on the Upper West Side in many years and has been featured in the New York Times, Harper's Bazaar, Time Out, and Le Guide des Routiers; in May 2015 it was the first American artisanal bakery invited to participate in the New York Fair at the Hankyu department store in Osaka, Japan. Located on Broadway and 101st Street on the Upper West Side of Manhattan; orders and deliveries available through UberEats, Postmates, and GrubHub. Reviewers frequently highlight the tarts and artisan breads as standout items, with the apple tart and baked loaves drawing particular praise; some reviewers note inconsistency across individual pastry items.
