Sourdough
that rises
on its own terms.
Fourteen-hour fermented. Wood-fired. Made in small batches right here in Knoxville — because great bread refuses to be rushed.
From our oven to your table
Everything baked from scratch, in small batches, with ingredients we can name and sources we trust.
Sourdough
Signature14-hour cold-fermented loaves with a shatteringly crisp crust and open, tangy crumb. Made with our 5-year-old starters.
Pastries
SeasonalFlaky, buttery layers that crack when you bite. Croissants, danishes, and fruit tarts made fresh before dawn every morning.
Coffee
Small-BatchSingle-origin, locally roasted beans pulled to order. Espresso, pour-over, and cold brew — each cup treated like a craft.
We bake the way time
intended.
Sienna Bakehouse Cafe started with a single sourdough starter and a stubborn belief that Knoxville deserved bread worth waiting for. No shortcuts. No commercial proofers. Just flour, water, salt, and patience.
Today we're a full bakery and cafe on Kingston Pike — but the philosophy hasn't changed. Every loaf gets 14 hours. Every pastry is rolled by hand. Every cup of coffee is pulled to order. If it can't wait, it doesn't belong on our menu.
Seasonal Specials
Rotating offerings that celebrate what's fresh and local right now.
Fig & Honey focaccia
Roasted local figs, wildflower honey, and flaky sea salt on our signature olive oil focaccia. Available through early fall.
Pumpkin cardamom bun
Warm spiced pumpkin dough swirled with cardamom cream and topped with brown butter glaze. A Knoxville autumn staple.
Weekend tasting box
Six bite-sized pieces from that weekend's freshest offerings. The best way to sample what we're proud of. Sat & Sun only.
Come say hello
on Kingston Pike.
We're located just west of I-40 on Kingston Pike, right in the heart of Knoxville's most beloved commercial corridor. Walk-ins welcome — but popular items sell out, so calling ahead for pickup is always a good move.
