Red Gate Bakery opens its gates today on 1st Street

Red Gate Bakery debuts today at 68 E. First St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

The shop is run by Greg Rales (formerly of Flour Shop on Lafayette) and business partner Patricia Howard (formerly of The Beatrice Inn).

Rales previously worked in international development and co-production at AMC Networks... apparently his baked goods were a hit with co-workers, and he eventually decided to get into the bakery business.

The Times had a preview on what to expect:

Red accents enliven the white subway-tiled shop that has a kitchen on view through a window. The treats on offer include rich brown-butter blondies, banana bread swirled with chocolate and a caramelized white chocolate cake infused with stout. Oreo-style cookies with eggnog filling, a thin oatmeal cookie with a snowflake pattern, and peppermint hot chocolate are available for the holidays.

Red Gate is open Wednesday-Thursday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and until 8 p.m. Friday through Sunday. The bakery is closed Monday and Tuesday. (During the holiday, Red Gate Bakery will be closed Monday 12/23 - Thursday 12/26 and Monday 12/30 - Wednesday 1/1.)

    $5.00 cookies? No wonder theses bakeries open and close. Be real shop owners. Too many people in the EV are rent poor.

    If you're going to have $5 cookies—in this neighborhood—you should make sure that at least a few of them are vegan.

    That said, I predict $5 cookies will pay your rent, but vegan cookies are cheaper to bake—since you don't have to put egg and dairy in them. Do the math.

    I don't know about vegan cookies being cheaper if you are using cashew milk, coconut butter, and the like...

    I just tried a choco toffee cookie (4 dollars not 5, cookie price varies) and it was DELICIOUS.

    Gonna have to be at least five times better than the $1.30 cookies at whole foods.
    Their jumble nut cookie makes my knees buckle.
