Elephantine Bakery
About
Elephantine Bakery is a European-inspired artisan bakery and cafe in Fort Point near the Seaport, baking pastries, croissants and breads daily using classic French techniques. The croissant lineup includes almond and pistachio versions. The cafe serves breakfast, lunch and weekend brunch alongside an Italian-inspired coffee program, plus cocktails and an evening aperitivo, in an elegant space designed for conversation. It suits a quick morning coffee as well as a leisurely meal.
The bakery is the work of Sherif and Nadine Farag, a husband-and-wife team whose paths led them from academic and consulting work to a craft built on food, community and beauty. Sherif trained at Ferrandi, the French culinary school, and the bakery draws on the ancient tradition of bread-making, from Elephantine Island in Egypt to today’s kitchens. Everything is made from scratch each day, with an emphasis on slow food, handwork and excellent ingredients.
