Sneak a Glimpse Inside Dominique Ansel's New Pastry Palace, Opening Tomorrow in the West Village

Dominique Ansel, Cronut king and all around pastry whiz, opens his wildly anticipated West Village bakery, Dominique Ansel Kitchen, bright and early tomorrow morning. It's a big, beautiful, two-story space (plus a kitchen in the basement), outfitted with a big sidewalk cafe, a corner of stadium seating, and a table that lowers down from the ceiling for evening dessert tastings on the second floor.

Time magazine has a video today in which Ansel discusses the challenges of doing what he's doing at Dominique Ansel Kitchen, where everything is made or prepared to order. It also gives a tiny glimpse of the new bakery, both under construction and in its finished form. Watch below to catch a few early peeks at what to expect, plus plenty of pastry porn, and a guest appearance by Wylie Dufresne. Tomorrow you'll get to see a whole lot more, including plenty of surprises not yet revealed on Ansel's Instagram – or so executive chef Karys Logue promises.
