EATER’S 21 BEST BAKERIES IN EAST BAY

“Glistening challah, pointy baguettes, and custardy porridge loaves greet customers at As Kneaded Bakery, arguably the most serious bread bakery in the East Bay. The naturally leavened miche is extra tangy, the baguettes caramelized and crunchy, and the challah unusually eggy.”

“There’s a lot to love (and devour) at As Kneaded Bakery, but the shop prides itself on its naturally leavened sourdough loaves, classic French baguettes, and challah. Owner Iliana Berkowitz has an especially loyal fan base for her bostock—a thick-cut piece of challah with seasonal jam, in-house almond frangipane, and sliced almonds.”
