I tried their breakfast sandwich today and honestly Jack in the Box makes a better sandwich. It was dry and the egg was burnt. So I figured their pastry was better, wrong again. The cookie had the consistency of a muffin, except it was dry and flavorless. The only thing this place is good for is taking your money.

This was our first visit to a Kneaders. We used the drive thru and it was pretty quick.The chicken Thai salad is out of this world. It was unbelievably good and all the veg seemed super fresh.We also had a kids meal (that comes with a HUGE cookie), clam chowder, and broccoli cheddar soup. All very good!

This is the last time Im going to visit Kneaders. I wanted to like this place because it is the only sandwich shop in town with a drive thru and that is super convenient. But after having them eliminate their rewards system unless you order via the app or deal with manually submitting your receipts thru the app I was pretty frustrated and stopped visiting for several months. Today I decided to go ahead and visit again because I was right next door and was hungry. Ordered a turkey, bacon, avocado on sourdough. Drive home, excited to eat it. Open up my sandwich to spread the turkey around a little more evenly and find this sad excuse for a serving of avocado on my sandwich. The serving size of bacon was almost as sad but I was annoyed enough to stop eating and write this review before I even finished my lunch. If you cant be consistent then youre not worth the money that you charge.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I literally drove all the way across town to go here! All items I’ve tried are good, some are GREAT! I love the French Dip and the Thai Chicken Salad, but the desserts are why I frequent! My favorites I think are all made with the same cream base which is excellent and I have yet to successfully copy! LOL! The sugar cookies, fruit tarts, raspberry cream pie are what I recommend! But you have to make sure not too go too late or they will be sold out!! A must try!!!

Tasty but always SO slow they can hardly be considered fast casual. Love their orange rolls, but they haven’t had them lately, not sure why. Desserts look better than they taste but croissants and sandwiches are where it’s at.

Could have been stocked better. With what was there it was good. My sister, mother and I dined in. My sister wanted the chicken something salad with poppy seeds dressing there wasnt any chicken, my mother had the avocado salad. I had the Veggie Avocado sandwich on Asiago bread with no lettuce or tomato and with provolone instead of swiss. The sandwich could have had more avocado for there was 4 small pieces of avocado. In all though it was alright.

I met a friend for lunch. First time I was there. I had chicken noodle soup with a piece of bread. The soup was hot and super delicious. I will be back. It is near my work so I will be having many more lunches there.

Me and my grandpa have been going to Kneaders nearly every Saturday since they opened. This place is perfect to go enjoy lunch with friends or family. Super friendly staff, good sandwiches & pastries, and it’s always very clean! Thank you to the Kneaders staff for always being so great :)

Review №19

Get the chai tea latte hot, its creamy and sweet; perfect mix forget starbucks. The coffee latte is great, smooth, bold with topped my new favorite addition *cinnamon*. The chocolate covered strawberry I had had perfect combo of sweet & tart. The fruit tart was small and the fruit not fresh, but the taste was just..eh. Try the blueberry lemon muffin top, as it was sweet but the tartness made it a great combo. The wedding cookies were sweet, powdery but not dry, bitefuls of goodness. The key lime tart was part citrus and sweet, topped with whipped creamed, perfect size to have w/the coffee. Ill go back for my chai and coffee latte. The atmosphere was cozy chill. Bathrooms and place were clean. Staff friendly.

I really wanted to love this place. The place was cute and people were nice. But the food was horrible. The pesto sandwich had no pesto and hardly any chicken. The chicken salad croissant was so salty you couldnt taste anything. And again hardly any chicken. Tip: If you are going to skimp on the meat, make smaller croissants and loaves...it wont be as obvious. The cookie was dry and went into the garbage. What a disappointment. First and last visit.

Ive gone here once a week EVERY week for the past 3 years to get my family french toast and always was AMAZING!! I dont know whats changed the past few months but 50% of the time now it is disgustingly under cook (like pudding on the inside) and not sure her name but today drove back hoping to get it swamped And the little blonde in the drive thru is rude as hell!!! So lately bad food and HORRIBLE customer service by the blond in the drive threw, wont be going back anymore which reallllly sucks,. This is the 1 they remade and little better but still very raw doughy

The best sandwiches and desserts! The staff is always friendly and nice and the atmosphere in the store is pleasant. Im not sure if Lorena still works at this location, but she has always been amazing to my wife and I!

Review №28

I wanted to share recognition for Lorena and her team in regards to their outstanding service. Every morning I stop by and consistently receive positive and accurately fast service. I go there so much my order is now remembered which makes me feel like a valued customer. I have even shared my experience with my work and now they go only to kneaders for breakfast as well. They shine with the community feel and always start my day off with a smile. Lorena is fabulous at what she does and instills that into others. Without her I may not think twice about heading elsewhere for breakfast. Thank you for all that you do!

This place was amazing. I went for breakfast and got the sausage, egg and cheese croissant. Talk about devine. I didnt realize that a place could make what youd figure a basic breakfast taste so awesome.The wife had a chocolate croissant which she had to go back and get another one because it was so good. We also ate here for lunch and their Turkey club sandwiches were extremely good. 😁😁

I called in my order and was told it would be ready by 1:10pm for pick up through drive through. I arrived and they said they didnt actually have any more of the soup I ordered. I was okay with that and chose a different soup. They then said to pull around the front. I waited there for another 30 min. For 3 sandwiches, soup, and 2 smoothies. 30 min later I receive my food and no receipt. I get home and its not even the soup I ordered. Called the location and all they said was ok, well we can give you a free meal??? My bill was $44 and they couldnt say sorry.

It was great! The food is really good and the people are very friendly. If you are in a hurry it is a good option for healthy food in a drive through. We stayed and ate lunch on the sunny patio. Bon apetit!

Usually they are really good..must have been a bad day...they had no rye bread for the Ruebin Sandwich or sour dough buns for the soup..I finally gave up and left..

Like everyone else has said the service is friendly and fast. They have a good sandwich and soup offering, as well as desserts. If youre looking for a nice alternative to Panera, youve found it.

Ive always loved this place but today I went inside to pick up an order and there were two people in line in front of me with no masks on. They laughed and chated with the girl behind the counter and she didnt say anything to them about the masks despite them having their mask policy on the door. Will not be coming here again.

Review №54

Ordered the Greek omelet through door dash. I was surprised with how quick it got to my house but was deeply disappointed with the omelet. It was really thin, small, way overcooked, and lacked flavor. I had to add a bit of salt and hot sauce just to liven it up but that didn’t do it much justice with how overcooked the eggs were.

Love their smoothies. Tons of bread to get too

Review №56

Strong smell of cheese, the French toast was a little hard, the omelet was tasteful, there is a display smack in the middle of the restaurant? Corner Bakery Cafe is better.

Review №63

The food is fresh and natural. No additives. Nice surroundings. Desserts are so delicious. I had broccoli cheese soup and a half of turkey sandwich. The soup had too much pepper and I noticed that the white bread should have been baked longer. It had an unbaked spot. It was after 11a.m. and the chicken noodle soup wasnt ready. Not sure what is happening here. But the sandwich was very good.

Review №67

This place is always amazing. I got the Turkey Cranberry Croissant today and it was delicious. I usually get the Provolone Muenster Cheese Melt which is always amazing. I would recommend avoiding the lunch rush hour between 11:30 and 2 and youll be glad. Their smoothies are also great. I especially like the Going Guava flavor. The strawberry tsunami was too tart for my taste. Overall a great place my go to place for a refreshing fill me up.
