The Helms Bakery, which opened on November 1, 2024, faced a lengthy 12-year delay before its public debut due to construction, permitting, and regulatory issues.
Sang Yoon, known for his fine dining and previous work with craft beer and burgers, approaches Helms Bakery with a detail-oriented, curated bakery-cafe model.
Once a major wholesale baking operation, Helms Bakery served baked goods via iconic yellow-and-blue trucks from 1931 until its closure due to supermarket competition in 1969.
The opening faced additional hurdles due to COVID-19 disruptions and the initial partnership changes, including the departure of former Spago chef Sherry Yard.
