About Us
Heritage Grand Bakery is a bustling restaurant and bakery adjacent to Bryant Park and steps from the New York Public Library in midtown Manhattan. Heritage Grand Bakery is reviving interest in ancient grains by investing significant resources in growing them, specifically Population Wheat, in France and Belgium using time-honored, regenerative farming practices. These nutritious, digestible ancient grains are the cornerstone of the Heritage Grand menu and bakery offerings that boast positive health and environmental benefits.
Heritage Grand is investing in the entire lifecycle of the ancient grains featured on their menus: it is grown in their fields in France and Belgium, shipped to the United States by sailboat under wind power, then milled on site in Astrie Mill that gently remove the bran and shave the kernel, resulting in a superior, healthy flour. This ancient grain flour is used in many menu items, making them more flavorful, nutritious and sustainable. Heritage Grand is meeting the growing demand for sustainable, transparent, and nutrient-rich food by bringing heritage grains and old-world baking practices into the contemporary restaurant and bakery marketplace.
Our Filtered Water
Water is an essential ingredient in the kitchen yet is often overlooked. Our water is first filtered to remove impurities like lead, chlorine, and other chemicals. It is then dynamized to mirror water’s natural journey, using motion, magnetism, and natural minerals. The result is energized water with improved taste and texture that provides better hydration. We use this ingredient in all parts of our restaurant. From the bread to the coffee to the pasta, and everything in between.
