    I usually love kneaders! I was totally shocked when I asked for an eclair and it was tiny! I bit into it and it was empty! I paid almost 5 bucks for nothing. Cinnamon roll Was good. I won't be going back to that particular kneaders!

    Walking into this place makes you hungry for everything! There are so many wonderful holiday aromas once you walk in! Near the cash register there are samples you can try. They also have a nice eating areas indoors and outdoors. You won't go wrong in anything you order to eat here. They have breakfast sandwiches that are great... ham, egg and cheese croissants are a must try. Plus big kudos to the staff. Vanessa was very nice and accommodating when we were trying to decide what to eat.

    I have been going to Kneaders on occasion over the years. Their sandwiches and soups are relatively good. The "scrumptious" looking baked goods that are on full display for hungry customers are not. They are very bland and usually dry. I wonder if they put hardly any salt, sugar, butter, or flavoring extracts in them. Probably very little. I have NEVER had one that tasted great. And I've tried them all - cookies, sweet rolls, brownies, pies, ect. So sad.

    To preface, I did come on Pi day which offered $2 off pie slices with entree purchase, but was saddened that their supplies weren't being replenished as it was only noon and options were a bit scarce so I went with the tart. However, the tart was delicious and the pie did not disappoint. Another thing I noticed was my salad included cashews and cilantro, but I wasn't served any and our meals were served with only plasticware. Desserts were also served on paper plates. Overall, the meal was yummy but I wouldn't make a special return any time soon. Some positive notes I did notice they served my salad in a to go box and they were happy to let me try two dressings. This location also has a neat local merchants area/crafting counter (I'm not sure if it was just for deco) and a fireplace which was cozy. I noticed a lot of folks were just there on their computers so it seems like a nice spot to visit for remote work. Tip - if you sign up for their app, you'll get $5 off your next purchase.

    Lights please haha Yes they are open!

    Lately the location it looks closed. They're not turning on their lights. If you sit on the patio it's pitch black at night. Otherwise their app has issues; but food and service was good this visit.

This beautiful little shop feels like stepping into another world the moment you walk in. It's family run, and you can truly feel the love and creativity that goes into everything they make. From cupcakes and tortes to cookies and so much more, every display case looked amazing. They even had gluten-free options, which was great to see. Gabriel welcomed us in and took the time to walk us through all the delicious treats they had to offer. His kindness and enthusiasm made the experience even more special. Since it was our first visit, we were treated to complimentary shortbread cookies -- we chose lavender and rose -- and both were absolutely delicious. We ended up taking home a strawberry brownie, the tuxedo cupcake with dark chocolate and buttercream frosting, a vanilla cupcake, and the limoncello cupcake. Every single dessert was wonderful and beautifully made. This is the kind of bakery you instantly know you'll return to again and again. We will definitely be back!

    Unbelievable cakes and pastries. Short bread flavors are floral and fun too ! This family owned and…read moreoperated bakery has some of the best baked items I've had in Mesa. Hands down. I've been here 3 times in 2 weeks after discovering it and plan to go again in the next couple days. There's so much try! They even do high tea, which is a treat to find! The decor is unique and gives service to their heritage and personally curated feel. No doubt there is something to enjoy for everyone here. I'm not sure about Vegan or gluten free options.

I was wonderfully surprised by how helpful and accommodating your team was.

It was a pleasure to enjoy such a high-quality product. Thank you once again for your assistance and for providing such delicious treats.

Not to sweet, not too tart! * nut cinnamon roll was the first thing my boyfriend grabbed. We heated it up for a little bit and it was amazing!! * peanut butter rice crispy marshmallow bar = yumniness!! * I didn't even get to try the cookie that had pretzels in it- it was so good that he didn't even save me a bite The girl that helped me get everything together and boxed up on Saturday around 1 was so sweet and patient as it was my first time in and I was mesmerized by all the delicious treats to choose from! We'll be back to hopefully try a sandwich on their fresh bread (that smelled so good in the bakery) and to grab another treat!

We've only been to the one in Old Town Mesa, by the fine art theater. Just glad its not next door, because I'd start living there! Not to sound like a hoity toity food snob, (kind of like when someone says they are not a "conspiracy theorist," but then they go into great lengths about conspiracies -- I'll be a snob here. Their pastries and breads are next level. They aren't just baking an excellent product (which would be enough to make me happy in area that lacks artisan bakers) they are "crafting" baking art. I hate to compare to the European Bakery craft (because there are plenty of great American bakers) but Europe does have that as a trademark (at least France, Switzerland, Germany, and Italy.) If all I ate eat each day was one of their croissants, it would be enough - theirs just flake away from the outside, and then a tender airy sourdough inside. Pain au Chocolate - excellent. Croissant - excellent. Oh -- Chocolate Chuck cookie - unbelievable. Best I've ever had. Chewy, buttery, crunchy. Not caky. I'll be heading back for sourdough bread and other goodies. No photos - I eat the goods too fast.

I know they're vegetarian, but I wanted to double check with her. She responds as "vegetarian means no meat, right"? All employees working at a food establishment should know what vegetarian means. This was quite baffling to hear. I asked her for a new slice because the one that was out on display was visibly burned and the other slice was touching pepperoni from the meat pizza. As mentioned, I'm a vegetarian. Therefore, I could not have either one of those slices. She proceeds to say that's how the pizzas are. They are slightly burned because they are so sourdough. While I can accept this answer, I do not accept the fact that she would not be willing to give me another slice as a paying customer. She insensitively said she can't give me a new one until all the old slices are taken up. She mentioned that this is their procedure. According to this, they are saying that they will not provide a proper product unless the old, damaged product, or unacceptable by the customer is used up first. If this is their business model, then it is apparent they do not value customer service. This business should have the competence to understand that if they want to sell a product, they cannot sell it in a condition that the customer is not satisfied with. Most importantly, being a vegetarian, they should have the sensitivity to understand that if a slice is touching the meat product then they cannot consume it. And again, the employee completely disregarded my health and religious beliefs by not accommodating me. You usually won't encounter problems when you're just trying to buy bread. However, it reflects on the business's employees greatly when there is a problem and they do not value customer service by resolving or accommodating the customer's satisfaction. I will be switching to Noble exclusively. Especially since it's so readily available at the farmers markets and stores.
