Dominique Ansel, the French pastry chef who singlehandedly created New York City's Cronut obsession, is taking his legendary dessert hybrid to the U.K.

The chef will open his fourth bakery, after two in New York City and one in Tokyo, in London later this year.

"Growing up so close to London, I never had a chance to visit until I was much older and immediately fell in love with the blend of cultures and the spirit of the place," Ansel wrote in an Instagram post announcing the new opening. "I'm so grateful at the chance to share a little of what I do with you all. We're looking for new culinary talent to join our team and to learn a great deal on our journey. Stay tuned, and we can't wait to meet everyone and do our best for you."

In another post, the chef revealed that plans for Dominique Ansel London had been in the works for at least the last six months, and that the bakery is currently hiring.
