Knead Bakery

Rising Soon

The scent of fresh baguettes, sourdough, focaccia, danishes, muffins, hand pies and specialty cakes will waft through the air with the opening of Knead, a new bakery concept coming to Symphony Towers. University Club General Manager Brian Lee has teamed up with his former associate, Adrian Mendoza, a longtime San Diego pastry chef, to bring this mouthwatering bakery to life. Mendoza, who will be running the entire kitchen for the very first time at Knead, has worked at Wayfarer Bread & Pastry, Herringbone, Herb & Wood and Searsucker. Come break bread and give him a warm welcome.
