"A legendary three-Michelin-starred restaurant led by Avery Ruzicka has launched a sweet collaboration with a top specialty coffee mini-chain to roll out a wide array of sweet and savory treats; as of June 23 these exclusive goods are being offered at the coffee chain’s outposts in the city." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Born out of a three Michelin-starred kitchen, Manresa’s bread is the real deal. To this day, the team employs the same natural yeast starter that was used back at Manresa restaurant, and they incorporate local and organic fresh-milled flours and grains into their products. Today, Manresa has five locations in the South Bay Area, with the Los Gatos, Campbell, and Palo Alto outposts offering an all-day café menu in addition to bread and pastries. The levain bread is a must-try, while the kouign amann is the most popular pastry on the menu, as it honors the age-old Breton technique." - Cathy Park
"Now, having opened the fifth Manresa Bread bakery, Ruzicka reflected on that first meeting and watching Kinch cook. “It was a combination of cooking with total precision, but also just joy of the product, the integrity of it, and the curiosity of it,” Ruzicka says. “It’s a lesson that one can return to, and I myself have. ‘What is at the center of what we do? Why do we do what we do?’ I think David is a really good example of, if you’re going to have an esteemed career in the food world, you’ve got to have these core reasons you want to be there.”" - Dianne de Guzman
"I also note Manresa Bread, with four locations scattered around the South Bay and Peninsula, will be among the ventures he intends to focus on." - Lauren Saria
"Included among the sought-after bakeries Locale started by delivering from, Manresa Bread is cited as a source of in-demand items during Locale’s Bay Area launch." - Candice Woo
