    Greek Style Omelet
    Vanessa B.

    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!

    Berry Pecan Regular Salad/ large

    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.

    Sausage, egg and cheese croissant

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

    Classic Turkey Half Sandwich
    Bridget H.

    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.

    Fresh fruit tart and Lemon tart. Delish!

    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

    Sandwich full of mayonnaise, no cucumber to be found

    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.

    Chocolate Eclair, Key Lime Tart, Pretzel Toffee Cookie and Chocolate Chunk Cookie
    Rustyna H.

    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.. Pretzel Toffee Cookies, Chocolate Chunk Cookies, Chocolate Eclairs, Key Lime Tart and Cinnamon Roll is everything we walked out with. If the rest of the items are anything like the cookies.. GAME ON! So soft and gooey and delicious. The customer service was great considering I was the only one in the place . The staff was cleaning and prepping for what looked like a large order. The dining area was clean and smelled of freshly baked goods! Again, I was the only person in the place so I got all the YELPINGLY FANTASTIC aromas. I even learned about their baking classes you can sign up for.. best believe... IM Signing Up! Kneaders for the win on baked goods today!

    Dead bug on strawberries that come with the Chunky Cinnamon French Toast

    A dead bug was laying on the strawberries that come with the French Toast. I was looking forward to the meal, the locations seem to be better and cared for in Utah.

    Focaccia

    We had an amazing time at the focaccia making class. Along with making our own focaccia, we got a half sandwich, drink and cookie. A great time was had by all.

    Peppermint Brownie
    Dorthea W.

    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.

    Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich
    Autumn H.

    Ordered a croissant breakfast sandwich. This is what you should expect when ordering a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant! Awful!

    Melody H.

    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!)

She provided some of the best customer service I've experienced in a long time. She greeted us with a warm smile as soon as we sat down and consistently checked on us to see if we needed anything. She was attentive, friendly, and truly amazing. Both my sisters and I agreed that we'll be back, and we hope we get Lori again. These days, it's rare to receive that level of attention and excellent customer service, and she really made our experience special.

My review went up on 5/21 and by the very next day, 5/22, a regional manager named Jayson responded publicly as the business owner, and left his email. I emailed him that same day, and after I followed up on 5/27 he wrote back, copied the store manager, and asked me to send my phone number and a good time so we could talk it through directly. I did exactly that, same day. That was 5/27. It is now 6/9 and I have not heard a word back. No email, no call, no text. The original incident was 5/10, so we are at 30 days now. This wasn't a stray hair - that's relatively benign and sometimes happens in food prep, not great but harmless. This was a different category of foreign body in food: fragments that looked like they came off equipment, which means whatever produced them is presumably still in use, still capable of doing it again to the next person. This is what made the unresponsiveness frustrating. It's not about my daughter's one açaí bowl, it's about whether the thing that caused it ever got looked at. A simple "we looked at it, can't determine yet what happened, but we'll update you" would have been fine, but I got boilerplate "you deserve better" corporate slop. I didn't want my ego stroked, I wanted them to look into something serious. They are great at moving fast in public: their Yelp! reply was up within a day, right under my review, where everyone can see it. But the private follow-up, the part nobody else is watching, has now gone three weeks radio silent, after they were the ones who asked for my number, but never used it. Fast when it's visible, and crickets when it's not, tells you where the attention really goes. If you're reading this and trying to decide, take a little time with the reviews here, the detailed ones and the thin ones, the recent and the older, and decide for yourselves if there is a pattern or not. I'm done with them, they lost my trust. For the record, their açaí bowls when they don't contain bits of industrial machinery are pretty good, but we'll go to Swami's when we are in Oceanside and will try to find something else in the valley.

The service people were trying to take orders, attending tables, helping customers to pick out pastries, all at the same time. Then they were bringing out food running around, trying to find the right table, and after failing to do so, would bring food back to the kitchen. It was 3 of them, running around, getting all confused. And it was only 1 person in the kitchen??? I've never seen anything like that before. The place gave me anxiety. And it wasn't even busy that day. It was Tuesday morning for crying out loud. I hate to think what's happening there over weekends! My order got completely screwed up. I got charged for two sponge cakes, instead of one. The baguette that they brought to the table 30 min later, was tiny, look like half baguette, when I ordered full baguette so we could split it with my mother. I know what full baguette supposed to look like. When I asked the cashier about that, she told me it was a full-size sandwich. Bullshit. They sure charged me for full size though. Full size baguette doesn't take 4 bites to finish! And coffee comes with the sandwich together. Coffee doesn't come first, it's not a drink! But they brought coffee first. Between coffee and a sandwich it took 20 minutes. The prices are very high for what they offer. They charge full price for half size portions. And the bread was dry and stale. Don't tell me it was today's fresh bread. I would never believe it. I feel like they ripped me off, frankly. So high prices, small portions and the service sucks. We are not going back there. There are lots of breakfast places like that all over town. The competition is overwhelming. No problem.
