As Kneaded Bakery - San Leandro, California

Thanks to As Kneaded Bakery San Leandro has one of the best bakeries in the world. The Pain D’Epi is amazing as is their sandwiches especially the curried cauliflower sandwich. Just perfection.

They are now selling their own delicious croissants.

I discovered this bakery today, thank you to the other online reviews. I wanted to get a loaf of baguette, but didn’t feel like driving to Acme bakery in Berkeley….typed in bakery in Google and this place popped up. I decided to stop in and try one of their French baguettes. I am so glad I did. It is delicious. The crust was cripy but not overly hard & the bread was soft & moist. I’m very delighted that they use organic wheat flour. The price was also very reasonable. Definitely will be coming back to try the other baked items. Great little gourmet bakery in San Leandro.

One of our favorite places to buy bread from! We’ve tried almost all & our favorite is the honey rye porridge bread. Recently tried the mandelhornchen which is an almond pastry & it’s definitely a repeat buy!

I finally found some time to visit As kneaded bakery in San Leandro. This is not a cafe, just a bakery and the caged up liquor store next store makes the area look grittier than it is.

There's a lot to like about this bakery. I arrived near closing and was greetly by a friendly person at the door. I got the honey sage foccaccia and flax and sun flower loaf.

The foccacia is probably different from what you get from other bakeries. Less bready, perhaps more oily,and the honey glaze definitely makes their version sweeter. Nonetheless, I think tastes great. The sage is not overpowering and strikes the right balance between sweet and savory.

The flax sunflower loaf is heavy and hearty, but as advertised on the bag, it retains a light and open (somewhat spongy) texture. Its hardly sour and the seeds provide a nice aftertaste

Their breads and pastries are not cheap but this is a locally owned business that genuinely wants to offer quality products. As the numerous awards attest to, that's worthy of support. I'll go back and buy more.

Everything is so delicious and fresh. I feel very proud that As Kneaded calls San Leandro home and I get to pop in on a weekday morning before work. I love the cardamom knots and cookies.

The honey rye porridge bread is life-changing. Do yourself a favor and toast it sit back and wonder why life is so good. This is a fantastic family owned business that is involved in the community in which they work. So happy San Leandro is their chosen home.

It's a good small bakery store to just select and pick-up the available bread of choice and go but you can also call them up to reserve your bread. Selection might be sparse at times but good quality thus far. The store does not offer much in terms of esthetics nor it offers any other options such as drinks, just bread at this time.
