My daughter just had a baby, and the one thing that sounded really good to her for breakfast was Kneaders French Toast. I went to go pick up breakfast for both her and her husband, and normally they do refillable breakfast as long as you are in the restaurant, but because they are still in the hospital, I couldn't come back to grab a refill, so Chara and Selma went above and beyond and prepared breakfast and a refill for each of them plus extra syrup! They were so excited to share in our excitement with the new addition to our family! Thank you to making this experience WONDERFUL!! read more

Food was amazing. Staff were super friendly. The restaurant was very clean as well as the restrooms. We will definitely be back. read more

I love kneaders, Berry pecan salads. I usually don't go to this particular location because my prior experience wasn't so good, however I was in the area and it is closer than the one off of McDowell that I usually go to. Big mistake. Do not go to this kneaders. This salad was nasty, and we had to search for the pecans, also it looks like they didn't care about presentation for their food. read more

It's been a minute since I have eaten at Kneaders. I was in a hurry and wanted something healthier that a fast food options. I decided to go with the Greek style omelet and I was pleasantly surprised. I don't recall the omelets I have had in the past to be this fluffy and large. The omelet came with spinach and mushrooms and the feta cheese, mush to my surprise wasn't overpowering. Very tastefully done I might add. ‍ Thanks Kneaders! read more

Great service, at-home environment and yummy treats. Great place to get work done over lunch.

Today was my first time coming to a Kneaders location. I came to quick grab some coffee and do some work on my computer. Plenty of tables to eat and work (in my case) at. The staff were really friendly. The line went quick. I bought a plain iced coffee that had free refills which was a bonus. The house blend coffee was smooth and not bitter. Really lovely coffee. I ordered the half classic turkey sandwhich. This was just mediocre. The sourdough bread was good but the turkey was SO salty and mushy. The turkey tasted like it came from a can. Would not order the sandwich again, but would definitely buy a loaf of bread. They have a lot of different pastries here if you're into that. It is a nice casual spot if you're looking for a quick bite. Plenty of parking available. And they also have a drive thru. read more

Updated review: my first visit at this location I ordered a fruit tart and a seasonal tart with almonds on top it was so good! I came back later that week or earlier the next week to try a sandwich combo and everything seemed like it had been left out for hours. Sandwich was so soggy and the lettuce in the salad had nasty pieces in it I had to pick out I didn't even end up eating it. Very disappointing! I did tell them the quality of the food wasn't great read more

This was a disappointing experience. Unfortunately, I had come to enjoy kneaders, bakery for the very good bread, and thus the good sandwiches that went along with it (usually). Overtime, however, things appear to have gone worse and worse. Aside from closing the location nearest to us, The service has gone a bit downhill and that the food is never what we ask for. Today was perhaps the final straw. Ordered a sandwich with no mayo, add cucumber. Instead, got a sandwich with double mayo, no cucumber. Size of the sandwich appears to the trunk as well. Photos demonstrate what was ordered, and what was received. You can see for yourself. There are no cucumbers, and definitely has mayo oozing out of it everywhere. read more

Date: April 6th, 2026 Time: 11:30am (For purpose of corporate to figure who the shift manager was) Went there today. I don't usually go to this one, but my friend and I were hungry and we were right by it. I ordered a tuna melt on sourdough. When they brought it to me there was no grilling of the bread other than the edge. The center of the bread was dry, but not colored like when grilled. I told the lady that delivered it to me that it wasn't grilled. Instead of saying sorry and offering to have a solution, she tried to tell me it was grilled. I pointed at the bread and said no it is not grilled. Honestly it didn't even look like sourdough bread. Anyways, she took it back for them to grill more. At one point she had delivered someone else's food to them, so I called for her. She came over and I explained that part of the problem was that there was no butter on it to grill it right. Very impatiently she said they are fixing it now (as she continued to walk by me). She brought it back a second time and it had a little grilling in the center of the bread, but there was no butter on it. I explained that to her and told her it was not right. She tried to explain it off that the bread sometimes makes it hard to have enough butter on there, and that it will vary each time. This is the only sandwich I order there. I know how they are suppose to be. Since she was not going to be very helpful I asked for a manager. She told me she was the shift manager. I asked her name and she told me she doesn't give out her name. I was confused that a manger doesn't give out her name. She told me for personal reasons she doesn't give it. BUT! AJ was all she would give. I asked for corporates number and she told me she did have that. She told me there was a GM on shift and that she might have it. I asked if she would get it. She came back and told me that the GM doesn't have it. The GM never came and spoke to me to see what was going on. This shift manager took it back on more time to have them put butter on it. When she brought it back she impatiently handed it to me and walked off. I did say thank you, but she did not acknowledge that. The sandwich was still not right. Very minimal butter I finally did have another worker pass me and I told her what had happened. She was so kind and truly I wish I had her from the beginning of this whole ordeal. I asked for the GM's name and she told me Chara. This girl did not have a number for corporate. Her name was Kaylyn and she was so kind and helpful. She is what customer service looks like. Not the GM or shift manager. I did find a number for corporate and will be calling them. This is unacceptable to be treated like this. I will also never go to that one again. Honestly Kaylyn should be promoted to a shift manager. Her customer skills are wonderful. I watched as she went throughout the dining room to take food to people. She was happy and listened to any need. Give the girl a raise. read more

A client gave me a gift card to Kneaders for Christmas so we decided to get breakfast there on New Year's day. They were not to busy as we got there around 11am but the experience was not a good one. We ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches, hot tea and hot coffee, also requested a side of fruit for each of us and a brownie. Total was almost $30 dollars. The tea was literally a cup of water and a tea bag that she plopped on the table and walked away before I could ask if they had any honey. They did not apparently offer honey ( at a breakfast restaurant) go figure. The breakfast croissants were sad flat little pancakes and the eggs and sausage were luke warm so I suspect that they had been sitting out for a while. They also only brought out 1 fruit cup and upon my asking she informed me that she only charged me for 1 - $5.00 for a cup with one cut up strawberry and a small pile of blueberries. When I said that was crazy she told me I was being rude. Which I feel like I probably was at that point but we were very disappointed by both the attitude of the staff and the quality of the meal. Oh and let's not forget the peppermint brownie that we paid almost $4 for that was maybe 1 1/2" x. 2". All in all it was an unpleasant experience and I am just glad most of it was covered by the gift card. read more

My SWEET TOOTH IS TOOTHIN', YELPies! Sooo, I'm already a fan of the French toast here, so why not try the bakery items! Let me say.. my TOOTHIN' is complete! My wife and I went nuts..

My mom LOVES the bake potato soup. Door dash is my life saver. Only available certain days tho.

This sandwich represents $10.59 of my purchase today. The sandwich has less than 2oz (if that) of turkey, and maybe a tablespoon of cranberry sauce, one slice of cheese. The side salad it came with was 1/2 wilted inedible. Extremely overpriced for what I received. Turkey Cranberry Sandwich read more

I've been to this location several times over the years and they are always nice but today they were exceptional! I went with my five year old and we entertained the workers as he tried to figure out which treat he wanted most. Eliza was the person who helped us today and she was friendly, helpful and went above and beyond for us. She overheard me telling my son we were going to split the smoothie, so she brought out an extra cup and two straws for us. She also came with napkins, extra plates and my sons chosen dessert, banana pudding (it was delicious by the way!). I was so impressed by Eliza's kindness and extra effort and my son was so excited to have his own cup! THANK YOU, ELIZA for making our day! (PS, Kneader Management, please give Eliza a raise!) read more

OMG!! Yummy. My boyfriend has an appointment at the cancer center near here so we had some time to kill. He was hungry so we stopped for a late lunch and he was told to eat something small we came in and ordered broccoli cheese soup it came with bread. The broccoli cheese soup is made fresh and had nice size pieces of broccoli that was cooked through all the way it was very delicious. The sourdough bread was nice and airy it was so good that I ate my boyfriend's bread as well this is perfect for cancer patients to eat I'm glad that it's near MD Anderson. The staff was kind and very helpful I want to thank everyone at Kneaders in Gilbert for their great hospitality I highly recommend this location something the Mesa location could learn from. We'll definitely be back read more

So the wife and I were in the mood for a soup bowl but we were going to make it at home. All we needed was the bread bowls. After calling the McDowell store (the one we've gone to before) and asking if they had any, they apologized and said no. I called this location (Baseline and Higley), the girl who answered the phone said they had some. I asked her told hold me two. When we got there, it was between 5 and 6 pm. I went to the counter and told the girl they were holding two bowls for me. She asked what soup I wanted. I said that we were just needing the bowls. She rolled her eyes and asked if that was all. The wife wanted to get some cookies and we've never ordered them so didn't know who to order them, she asked if we can buy one or is there a bundle. The girl rudely said they have a buy 5 get 1 free. The wife asked if the brownie was part of it and the girl said yes. So she ordered 1 German chocolate brownie and 1 each of the cookies. When the wife asked what we had the girl said three brownie and 5 cookies. We said it only was 1 brownie and the girl sighed and changed the order. Even though this was not our mistake, the wife apologized and the girl said "no problem" like it was our mistake. I felt as we were being judged the whole time by the rude girl behind the counter Now, I am Danish and I make my own breads and bakery goods, I don't need to come in to this place. I did out of convenience and sadly enough, we will not be back. read more

Quality has definitely gone down. I don't know what absolute moron was working tonight, but we placed an order at the drive thru for two sandwiches and a loaf of bread. One sandwich order was a plain ham and cheese on white. Worker asks if we want mayo on it. "Nope, just ham, cheese and bread ." Sure enough, get home and the sandwich has EVERYTHING ON IT. Mayo, mustard, lettuce, onion. What in the absolute hell. You JUST ASKED what we wanted on it, we told you, and you still managed to get it wrong when we were the ONLY customers in line. Bogus. read more

I came here for dinner with my daughter and my friend. The experience was not the best compared to the other two times I've been here. We waited in line for about 10min with only one person in front of us. The staff seemed to be short but trying to make it work. We ordered and the lady was very nice and answered my questions knowledgeably. However, from there it went down hill. I went to get my drink and the drink station was not stocked properly. It didn't affect me much as I didn't need a straw but still doesn't look good when you consider others. We then waited 25 min for our food to even come out. We only ordered sandwiches so it seemed a little excessive. My daughter was very hungry so we asked if we could at least get the kids meal and they just gave us the chips and cookie and said the sandwich would be 10min longer. When her food did finally come out they gave a second cookie and a bag of chips by mistake but let us keep it. The food itself wasn't that great. The salad on the side was limp and browning (you may be able to tell from the picture). My daughters kid ham and cheese was drenched in Mayo. It got everywhere and when she would bite her sandwich her face was just covered in it. We went back in line to get desserts to go. I made it first in line but still waited about 15min to be helped while all the to go orders were filled. At this time the soda machine was also being cleaned or fixed so customers had to go to the counter to get soda from the drive thru machine. The wait time was also longer as staff was just stopping to talk together every so often. Other things I noticed was that there was a very dirty mop bucket sitting in customer view that just looks unappealing. It was just sitting there pretty much my whole visit. The only reason I gave a couple stars was because the desserts were still decent compared to the service and food. Not too sure if I would return as this is my first time out of three having issues here. It may have just been a bad staff night. Hopefully it isn't always like that, and if that's the case I could see myself returning. read more

I ordered the tuna melt and my mother had the corn chowder. The bread on the sandwich was delicious and was a perfect combination with the tuna. The corn chowder has a slight amount of spiceness which was perfect for my mom as she doesn't like too much spice. We were looking to buy pumpkin bread and they were out but before we left they had baked more and the cashier made sure we were aware so we could take some home with us! This is a very casual, comfortable restaurant and we'll certainly go back. read more

I sat in the drive-through for half an hour management does not provide enough staff or pay them enough to do the job. What a disgrace.

My first time ever eating at Kneaders. Ordered the Chicken Pesto and instead of the traditional way it's made. I decided to have it on Focaccia bread and I was glad I did. The case for all the pies was out of order and probably a good thing for me. I didn't need to add any sweets to what I already had. The Sandwich was perfect and the chicken was cooked to perfection, moist and delicious. Should have taken a pic, but as usual I was beyond too hungry. If I had to rate my experience from customer service to the taste of the sandwich, I'd give this place a solid 10. It was great. The flavor of the sandwich is still lingering in my mind. read more

I was hoping to grab a quick smoothie to drink with my medication, and I knew I loved the Pink Piña Colada so I did a takeout order that gave an estimated wait of 20 minutes. I arrived 30 minutes past my order time and there was no sign of my drink nor was anybody seemingly willing to help. Due to the number of customers, it looks as though the restaurant is severely understaffed. Many tables were uncleaned and the service wasn't the kindest. I ended up leaving without my order due to an appointment I had to get to. Hoping for a better experience in the future but as of now, would not recommend this location. read more

Great food and service. A nice meal after a long day of travel. Clean restaurant and it was quiet

Great location with delicious food! My go to is the cheese melt and tomato soup. Service is friendly, though on the slower side. This is a place to go when you aren't on a lunch break from work, but for a leisurely dinner after work or on the weekends. The dining area isn't anything fancy, but definitely more upscale than a fast food time. Definitely one of my favorite places for soup and a sandwich. read more

For years I have gotten a GRILLED turkey bacon avocado sandwich on Country Bread. I've had it like that 15+times. The Eliza D.taking my order says what like the bread toasted or something and I explained it to her. She said she couldn't do it because it's a cold sandwich. So I said surrrrre just toast the bread then. Waited long and it wasn't grilled or toasted AT ALL. Surely annoying that I pay this much money to have to go home and grill it myself. I just opened the sandwhich..barley any avocado and onion. I asked for no onion. read more

Signs say they are open. Lights on inside, but no one's home -- saw a couple of staff members taking out the garbage at 8:20 pm. I think they unofficially took it upon themselves to close early :( I haven't had the food at this location yet, but have been to other locations and normally like it -- too bad. Disappointing. We even searched online and saw nothing indicating they were closing early. read more

I love kneaders, it is my all time favorite place to eat. That being said this location was disappointing. First the girl taking my order was just rude, she looked so bored with me and was overall not helpful. She didn't know anything about the ingredients being used in the sandwich I was asking about. Next the dining area was filthy. The tables were so dirty. Finally when we got our sandwiches she just tossed them on the table after watching them sit there ready so long and they looked thrown together, if I'm spending almost $30 on two sandwiches I expect the service, dining area, and the food to live up to that standard. read more

I hate to write such a poor review. I used to love Kneader's. But it has significantly gone downhill in the past few years. I waited in a drive-through line for 30 minutes. My mealcost me $18. The portion sizes are awful. My sandwich had like hardly any protein on it and the cup of soup was so small. For $18 I could not believe, the amount of food I got. And my sandwich was missing the mayo. Which isn't a huge deal but when you wait 30 minutes and pay $18 for a sandwich and soup, I would expect it to be a little bit better. Will not be returning. Oh and they don't have crackers. What kind of soup place doesn't have crackers? read more

After closing half their restaurants without any warning, you would think this place would want customers. I have the worst turkey croissant sandwich there tonight in my life.

Ate at this location today. First thing I noticed was how filthy the front door was. All the glasses cases in the store were dirty. I don't think they've been cleaned in a month. Three kids were running the front and they had horrible customer service skills. Music was loud and sounded like hard rock. Not very pleasant. Food was not impressive. Chicken noodle soup was cold. I thought Kneaders was better than this. Won't be back to this location. Really sad!! read more
