Elbow Bread is the new retail bakery from baker Zoë Kanan, opened in collaboration with Court Street Grocers + S&P Lunch. Our shop sits at the elbow-shaped corner of the Lower East Side and Chinatown, where we draw inspiration from the neighborhood’s history and bring a fresh perspective to classic New York baking.
We take a craft baking and flavor forward approach, utilize sourdough and natural leavening techniques, freshly milled and wholegrain flours, and seasonal produce. We’re a small batch bakery that prizes freshness and bakes product throughout the day to stock our storefront. Our offerings range from sourdough loaves and braided challah to inventive takes on laminated pastry, pretzels, knish, babka, cakes, and beyond.
We’re looking for a sandwich maker who’s excited to grow with us and contribute to a baker-owned and operated project that’s as much about technique and quality as it is about fueling our neighborhood with good baking, coffee, and hospitality.
