Long-fermented loaves with crackling crusts and open crumb — baked every morning at dawn.

Custom-designed cakes for birthdays, weddings, and milestones — ordered 48 hours ahead.
Single-origin pour-overs and espresso drinks from small-batch roasters in the tri-state area.
Our Story
Bakery El Monte Sinai has been a fixture on North Franklin Street since 1985. What began as a small family bakery with a single deck oven has grown into Hempstead's destination for bread that tastes the way bread should — crusty, tangy, and made with patience.
Our bakers arrive before dawn. Every loaf, every pastry, every cake is shaped by hand. We work with regional mills for our flour, European-style butter for our laminations, and seasonal fruit from local orchards when it's at its peak.
We don't rush the process. A sourdough starter needs weeks, not minutes. A croissant needs folds, not shortcuts. And a celebration cake deserves to be remembered.
