Our Story

With the art of making freshly baked bread going out of style, it became a vision of Chef Jonghun Won to create a European-style Café/Bakery.

Chef Won hails from South Korea, with a background in theology. He has honed his skills in numerous fine establishments such as Jungsik Seoul as the original Executive Pastry Chef, ultimately leading to uprooting his family to New York to open Jungsik New York, which won 2-Michelin star honor during his tenure.

A graduate of CIA (The Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park), Chef Won concurrently works as the sole proprietor of La Tabatiere, located in Closter, NJ. It is hailed as one of the best bakeries in Northern New Jersey.

Our aim is to keep the supply of freshly made bread, which will be incorporated into delicious sandwiches and pastries, both savory and sweet.

We believe there's nothing better than freshly baked bread, and that there's nothing better than a sandwich built on that bread. Fresh is best!
