About Us

Our Story

Le Bon Pain Bakery is a Haitian cuisine bakery based in Queens Village, New York. Owned by Jean George and Ghislaine Clervoix.

Le Bon Pain Bakery’s origin begins over 75 years ago. Ambroise Delamar Michel was mayor of the province Limbe, Haiti and grandfather to Ghislaine. In 1942, Le Bon Pain served the community with not only baked goods, but with fresh juices. Still today, Le Bon Pain is serving the public in Limbe.

As a child, Ghislaine began her tutelage under her grandfather Ambroise, better knows as “ Papa Broise “ Papa Broise’s family recipes inspired the first of many signature dishes served at Le Bon Pain. Ghislaine cherished her family’s secret recipes, but had a love for cooking so powerful, she traveled to the United States with hopes of sharing her traditions with the world.

With the dream of one day becoming a famous baker, Ghislaine worked hard in her younger years at Drake’s Cake Company as a executive chef where she gained the knowledge and experience needed to become a small business owner. Shortly thereafter, with the partnership and support of her husband, Jean George Clervoix. The two put their plan motion and opened the first Le Bon Pain Bakery in 1988 on Jamaica Ave in Queens Village, New York. A devoted minority of Haitian immigrants in their region established a loyal traditional following.

Le Bon Pain also distributes food and products to local retailers and the largest producer of Haitian Style baked products New York and considered the most famous Haitian bakery business in the United States. It is also the only company that makes and distributes various varieties of Haitian stye patties.

Today, over 25 years later, we proudly continue the standard of excellence. Ghislaine and Jean George Clervoix worked so hard to set. Keeping in line with their tradition, we devote great service in our community and beyond, satisfying our loyal customers where it all started
