“Finding the right location in D.C. has been a long-awaited goal for us,” says Kira Paterakis, co-owner & broker of Kneads. “When I came across this space, I felt an instant connection. The existing design, the charming building, the welcoming community, and the proximity to Whole Foods made it the perfect match for our brand.”

As a family-owned business, SJG Properties has always valued partners who share our commitment to community and quality — and Kneads embodies both. We recognize and respect the passion and dedication the Paterakis family has put into this brand. This is exactly the kind of addition that makes Logan Circle special.”

About Kneads
Kneads Bakeshop & Café began as a “next gen” project founded by H&S Bakery, honoring the Paterakis family’s rich history of artisanal craft. Originating from humble beginnings as Greek immigrants in Baltimore City, our ancestors dedicated themselves to the artistry of bread-making. With new baking technology and a modern approach, we’re reviving old-school artisanal traditions and creating a space for the community to connect and share the joy of breaking bread together.
