Who we are

Harlem Bakes by Chef Jaz is a New York City–inspired bakery brand founded by Harlem native Chef Jaz, bringing the heart of Harlem together with the flavor, culture, and creativity of all five boroughs. Rooted in Harlem’s rich history and soulful traditions, the bakery draws influence from Brooklyn’s innovation, Queens’ diversity, the Bronx’s bold energy, and Staten Island’s classic roots.

Every dessert is handcrafted with intention, premium ingredients, and a deep respect for NYC’s cultural melting pot. Harlem Bakes blends time-honored recipes with modern techniques, creating baked goods that feel nostalgic yet fresh—just like the city itself.

More than a bakery, Harlem Bakes by Chef Jaz is a celebration of community, heritage, and hustle. Each bite tells a New York story—bold, resilient, flavorful, and unforgettable.
