Kneads Bakeshop

Wow, I really enjoyed eating here! The inside is so bright and modern, and I loved being able to see the employees making dough--it adds such a cool touch to the experience. I had such a hard time ordering because the menu has so many delicious-sounding options.I ended up going with a gingerbread latte, which was just right--didn't really get a strong gingerbread taste, but it was still really good. For food, I ordered the cream of crab soup and the steak and cheese hash with a fried egg. Let me start by saying that soup!!! So meaty, so delicious--I got full off that alone, and now I NEED it every time I come here. My steak and cheese hash was also very good--the steak was seasoned well, though I could've used a little more cheese.My husband ordered the shrimp and grits, and while I only sampled the sauce (which is tomato-based--not my personal favorite), it was still flavorful and filling. He also got the pineapple mimosa tart and bubbly and a prickly pear mocktail--both were sweet, bubbly, and came garnished with a candied fruit, which was such a cute touch.I would definitely love to come back and explore more of the menu. Can't wait for my next visit!

Awfully rude staff. No respect for their customers condescending and bad attitudes. The food is OK but not worth the money especially when you're treated so poorly by the staff.Literally the worst pick up experience of my life. Never have I been so disrespected by an employee at a store. Do not give these people your business they cannot train their staff and they don't hold anyone accountable.

The staff at Kneads were AMAZING--friendly, attentive, and even at closing, they sent us home with some bread, which was such a thoughtful touch!The lattes? Soooo good--definitely a highlight. As for the pastries, the store mentioned that all the best ones were already sold out, but we tried what was left anyway. They were okay--not bad, but nothing standout. If you're looking for something sweet, the spiced cherry tart (pictured) isn't very sweet.For food, I got the steak and hash, and it was very good--a big portion, definitely worth it. My friend got the crab cake sandwich, and she was impressed--big lumps of crab meat with no filler, which is always a good sign!I also love that they have a store attached where you can shop for soaps, clothes, and other cute finds. It makes the whole experience feel special. Definitely a great little spot!

A trip to Kneads on a long weekend was chaotic. Popular place at the flagship and staff after the lunch crowd seemed a bit stretched. An hour wait was posted on a board at the entrance, I stepped in and immediately the smell of all things baked goods and roasters hit you not to mention very strong perfumes (whew, ugh) on a very wet day. Loud, indeed it was.The host at the stand that day made sure I knew of the hour wait. Right on. I didn't plan to dine in, and went on to the take out line. The loaves on shelves by the gift shop area were nearly empty and the pastries offered was sparse. I was overwhelmed by the time I got to ordering, I completely ordered the wrong drink and went for the pistachio chai. I requested less ice and with oatmilk. My son chose the cookie butter chai (I switched it to oatmilk) and smoked salmon on everything bagel. We also tried the ube and baklava donuts.It took about 25min for my drinks and another 10min for the smoked salmon bagel. Nearly half an inch less filled, my chai was rich which was yum however too sweet for my liking. The ube donut was picture perfect but the ube flavor was missing. The baklava donut is a great creation and need to mention this one only had a dolop of that creme... whatta tease. My son enjoyed his cookie butter chai and inhaled his smoked salmon bagel. On my way out I learned that Kneads does not replenish items throughout the day and only put out a day's worth of loaves made that morning.All in all it was OK first experience. Parking on the weekends is easy. Accessibility is limited once indoors, and note there is no elevator to the 2nd floor loft space.

The interior is so modern and it feels very upscale. You can actually see where they make the dough and bake bread in the back. Our server was very nice she checked in on us throughout the meal. There was also a study area upstairs which I'll definitely be visiting soon. Now for the most important, the food! The pizza was delicious and so soft. You could tell that it was fresh and the ingredients were high quality. The gingerbread latte was great, but the honey vanilla latte was too sweet for me. Overall an amazing brunch experience!

Kneads is what you need!Besides being your standard coffee shop, they serve brunch everyday, the coffee shop has a bar and you can reserve the space for private events. There is street parking available and parking garages nearby. The service was good, the food was tasty and the portion size was generous. I went for a midweek birthday brunch celebration. The French toast was fluffy and flavorful as well as the grits. My wife enjoyed her two handed sandwich and potatoes. The food, the vibe, the ambience was too good to not return back.

Have to say I did not have the best experience at Kneads. The food was okay, but for the price, probably not worth it. The service is extremely slow, but our server was pretty good to us. I ordered a mocktail and I basically finished eating and still did not get my drink. It's not like it was very busy either. They have a lot of bakery items, merchandise, and a nice bar in the back. There is limited parking as well. FOOD:Burrata Caprese Foccacia - $17 (plus $3 for Prosciutto): focaccia was nice and crispy, but the sandwich could have used more acidity. The paid an extra $3 for prosciutto, but I got NO prosciutto!JP Mac Burger & Fries - $19: came with cold and soggy shoestring fries. Burger tasted good, but was also pretty cold.Cream of Crab Cup - $11: good flavor and came with bread. Still a little too rich and they skimped out on the crab meat. HALF Caesar Salad - $9 (plus $9 for Blackened Chicken): a little pricey for the portion of just a half salad and then to add $9 for a small chicken breast that was dry was well not worth it. DRINKS:Hugo Light Mocktail $8: too sweet and came with no mint at all. Bloody Mary with Tito's $13: wanted a mocktail, and I felt like that was what I got, until I looked at the bill afterwards and saw I was charged for a cocktail. White Chocolate Macadamia Latte $6: all the syrup was at the bottom so I couldn't even drink the last parts of my coffee. Came with a nice heart design though.

[We visited the location on S. Central Ave] Upon entering the restaurant, it initially appeared to be a small establishment, but once I entered, it was astonishing. I loved (almost) everything about the interior- from the decorations to the ambiance. I will say, some of the chairs were not as comfortable as others. The bakery is in the rear, which there is also small giftshop as you enter the restaurant, along with a very long bar area, the main dining room an then a small quaint coffee shop. You have a bird's eye view of the bakery itself as you dine (or drink) inside. We visited on a Monday afternoon, and even with many people there, it still had a very cozy feel.The menu was OVERWHELMING, as there seemed to be many diverse food options. The portion sizes were huge! So be prepared to share or take food home We ordered a few items like the chilli, the BLT, caesar salad and the italian Piadina. We also got custom mimosas- I ordered and Apple Cider mimosa [befitting of the season], and it was DELICIOUS! Be sure to order the bread. It was scrumptious!I will say that anytime I am in the mood for a good lunch spot, I will for sure return. Even to just purchase from the bakery, it would be well worth the trip.

This was my 2nd time coming to Kneads, I came here to celebrate my best friends birthday. We had a large group and appreciate how they had everything ready for us when we came in. I ended up getting the Egg and cheese croissant with some turkey bacon. The croissant was light, crispy and buttery and the eggs were juicy. It was very delicious! Everyone in our group loved everything that they had gotten. I'll be coming back again to try more things on their menu.

The short: big, seemingly popular local spot -- but one that can't handle crowds. The longer: popped in for coffee & donut in the morning at opening (7:30am) and with no one there, but they forgot my drip coffee until I reminded them; they told us to come back when the kitchen opened. I pop back in at 11am on a Monday (holiday) and it's packed. I order at the takeout counter, and 45 mins later I go check on my order, only to learn that the kitchen doesn't have my order ticket?I ask the manager Laura for a refund, and it's issued without question - or frankly - any apology/remorse/explanation. I was given a strange look when I asked for a receipt to prove the refund. The coffee is mid, and customer service was among the top weirdest I've ever experienced. I would recommend avoiding.
