Get That Bread!
Bay Area native Iliana Berkowitz honed her craft in kitchens across the country before returning home to build a bakery that reflects her unique palate and passion for bringing people together through exceptional bread.
Current Offerings at the Bakery
As Kneaded Bakery specializes in naturally leavened sourdough loaves, classic French baguettes, and challah. We also offer a range of noshes (Yiddish for "snacks"), which highlight a variety of doughs, both sweet and savory, from cultures around the world.
“This month has been heavily nostalgic for me as I mark 10 years of official business selling bread under the moniker As Kneaded Bakery. As I sit here sipping a latte on a quiet morning in our new café, I am filled with a feeling of deep satisfaction, pondering all I've been through this past decade.”
“As Kneaded isn’t the only cafe in the Bay Area that’s located inside a public library, but it might be the one that’s most enticing to food enthusiasts, given its connection to a bona fide artisan breadmaker.”
Berkowitz was on one of her regular library visits with her children a year ago when she saw the vacant space at the entrance. “I felt a lot of potential in it,” she said. “I knew it could become something awesome.”
We were featured on the KQED's Check Please! Bay Area segment Cecilia Tries: San Leandro Cherry Festival alongside many other East Bay businesses such as Koolfi Creamery, Lemonade Besties, and Jenn's Cupcakes and Parties.
