Knead began as a small family-run artisan bakery café in August 2006 in Wembley Square, Cape Town, and has since grown to five stores across the city. Rooted in traditional methods, we focus on simple, honest food made from locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. Our team of dedicated local bakers and chefs work openly for all to see, crafting everything by hand with care and precision. From kneading and slow-proofing to baking throughout the day, our breads embody true artisanal quality. We also roast and serve our own Bakers Coffee, ensuring that every product reflects our passion for excellence and our commitment to time-honoured craftsmanship.
