Fresh-Baked Pastries & Artisan Breads in Harlem
At CopperLeaf Bakery & Coffee, every morning begins with the craft of baking. From golden, flaky croissants and slow-fermented breads to creative sweet and savory pastries, everything is made with care in our Harlem bakery.
Baked in Harlem. Inspired by the World.
CopperLeaf brings together traditional baking techniques, global inspiration, and a love for creating food worth sharing. Whether you're picking up a croissant on your morning walk, discovering a new favorite pastry, or bringing a box of baked goods to friends, there's always something fresh to enjoy.
A great croissant is worth taking time over.
Our croissants are made using a distinctive pre-ferment inspired by Japanese baking traditions, incorporating naturally fermented fruit yeast water. The result is a beautifully layered pastry with a delicate crunch, tender interior, and rich buttery flavor.
From our classic butter croissant to pain au chocolat and almond croissants, each begins with the same dedication to the craft.
Croissants, Crafted with Care
Bread Is at the Heart of What We Do
Our breads are more than an accompaniment — they're an essential part of the CopperLeaf kitchen.
From slow-fermented sourdough and golden brioche to crusty baguettes and stirato, our breads are mixed, shaped, and baked in-house.
They're the foundation of our sandwiches, tartines, and brunch favorites, and a reason to visit the bakery all on their own.
