Kneaders is SO good! We recently visited some family in Phoenix and ended up eating here twice! I can't comment on their lunch items, but the cinnamon french toast is absolutely amazing! It is all you can eat from 7-11am but no one in our group could eat more than the 2 huge slices that they give you. The syrup is very buttery and good. It was a little less than $6 for the french toast. The restaurant is new and set up very cute. They also have outdoor seating available. They are closed on Sundays.

The food portions are quite large so it's nice to have leftovers or order a half sandwich and soup. I had a turkey sandwich on their fresh baked bread and it was great! The only suggestion I have is that they put more jam on it or extra on the side as it was a bit dry. The dessert case was incredibly delicious looking so I had to order a cheesecake brownie and it was worth the calories! Absolutely incredible tasting! The ambiance reminded me of a country store in Wisconsin. It was really cute and cozy!

I had a sandwich brought to me yesterday while I was working in the yard. the food was good and they taste and quantity great. But can only give them the 2 stars cause they are one of these places that are not open when I want to go. What is this closed on Sunday that is just just right stupid in this day and age, they wont be getting my business in the future.

I don't know what words I can use to describe the delicious food here besides "amazing." This was my third visit now. Lets start off by saying I am not a salad person. I se them as boring and plain, until I came here.This time I ordered a Turkey Bacon Avocado salad for my husband, Chicken Ala Mondo salad for myself, both combos with chips, peach and guava teas and desserts. Both salads were humongous and very filling. The only issue was the turkey on my husbands salad smelled and tasted slightly like tuna, but obviously looked like turkey. I don't know if it was just the fact that it was cold turkey, but that was a little strange. My salad was awesome as always. IT has the perfect mixture of everything delicious from the healthy greens, to the fresh grilled turkey, lots of yummy bacon, cheese and almonds for texture and taste and the most deliciously sweet poppy seed dressing! The croutons are the icing on the cake, although they forgot to put them on my salad this time :( The desserts were amazing as well. We got the turtle cheesecake, chocolate dome and German chocolate brownie. Talk about sugar rush heaven! Everything is so moist and creamy and tasty. You have to go down there to try the desserts yourself. My favorite is the cinnamon roll that I got last time. I saved it for he next day and It was still perfect! They have such cute little gifts as well, sweet breads, everything! The only reason I docked a star is because like everyone else, I received slow service. BUT we all have to understand the lunch rush especially in the area of he Gateway Pavillions. It is a very busy area. They were 20 minutes late with my online order, but they were so nice and made up for it with a free card and pastry. One last note are the juices I tried. I had the guava and the peach which were a little TOO sweet. Make sure your meals compliments the sugary sweetness if you order these juices or it might just be too much for you. Other than that, I will be back for sure!! I love this place!

I usually only use their drive thru since it's convenient with an infant and a kindergartener, but last Saturday I decided to dine in for the first time; That the worst choice I could have made that day. Took 15 minutes to even place an order at the register. The Line only had 3 parties ahead of me... What gives? Then I place my order and sit down. The woman running the food was very difficult to hear as she paced the dining room calling a name on the order, most people looked puzzled at her. I waited another 15 minutes for a Caesar salad, a muffin top, and a side of fruit. Then I received my salad with RANCH dressing. So, I advised the front and they took my salad claiming they'd get me a new one quickly... NOT! 20 minutes later I have a new salad with the correct dressing. In all, I waited 50-60 minutes just to start eating A SALAD!!! Not an "I'm sorry" or even a reimbursement was offered by the kids running the place. I will NEVER dine at this establishment again and I will be sure to take back all my positive stories I have shared with others!

The food is excellent and for the most part, everything is really great. Except for the online ordering. It is a very busy restaurant at lunchtime so I order ahead online -- and usually all I'm having is a bowl of soup with a roll, but it never fails that when I get there, either at or past my pickup time, no one has even looked at my order yet. I have had to wait a half hour past my pickup time for a couple of salads and in turn missed my entire lunch break. We had to just put them in the fridge at work and eat it a few hours later. The poor woman ahead of me had given them 2 hours notice for about 8 meals for her higher-ups who were having an all-day meeting, but she had to stand there and wait 30 min for them to finish her order. She was freaking out, and rightfully so. It was pretty obvious to me they had never even seen her ticket until she showed up! A half hour notice is plenty of time to spoon soup into a bowl... Why am I waiting 10-15 min past that time when I get there?

Normally this place is good, but NOT tonight!! The side salads were brown and slimy on the bottom. Took it back up there they had no more lettuce?? So we got soups. Then we got our sandwiches one was supposed to be a chicken pesto, there was no pesto on it, the other was a french dip and the au jus looked more like motor oil, and my husband said it tasted like sea water!. I asked to speak to the manager and she came to our table, I told her we didn't get the right sandwich as there was no pesto on it, and said yes that is the pesto chicken and the pesto must have melted?? No green anywhere on the sandwhich. The au jus she said was the last bit of it and so it is thicker?? She said "sorry" and walked away. This was my husbands first and last time there!! It looked like they were all too busy cleaning up for the night. Mind you it was about 7:15, and they don't close till 9pm. Yuck! Yuck!
(1)Tommy N.
Great food great atmosphere. Great service and cute aprons to purchase. Son loves the chicken soup. I like the croissant chicken salad sandwich. The turkey croissant wasn't bad either. Plenty of seats and the place was clean. Yes it obviously takes a piece of the whole paradise bakery and Panera bread and wildflower genre. But it's nice to have another place to go to. The cheesecake is to die for.
(4)Kelly R.
This place is the cutest! Love their little basket boutique shop and everything on the Menu. This was my first time here and the manager made sure I felt welcomed, the staff described some menu options and even offered me some samples. I had the Avocado Bacon Sandwich and Tomato Basil soup and the sandwich was huge! Overflowing of fresh pulled turkey and lots of avocado! This place also has a boutique set up to make gift baskets with fresh baked goods, home décor, jewelry and lots of other goodies. Great to come with a group or to stop and grab a quick gift for someone special. I loved my experience here and will definitely be back.
(5)Reanne G.
First time at Kneaders. I don't know their background or history but walking in is like a mixture of Cracker Barrel (for all the random items that they sell) and Panera. It wasn't busy when we arrived to have breakfast so it gave us time to look at the menu. I decided on getting the Chunky Cinnamon French Toast. It's good but really thick so if you like that then this is for you! I also ordered an oatmeal with fruit which was OK. Nothing special. The items are a bit overpriced for the amount of food that you receive. I may come back to try some of their bakery items but will go through the drive-thru next time. Giving it 3-stars for the drive-thru option and great customer service. Oh! And they're closed on Sundays, if anyone was wondering!
(3)Courtney T.
I was excited to try Kneaders, but came away very disappointed. I ordered the Large Green Avocado salad- the salad was incredibly small and skimpy on the lettuce. The focaccia bread I ordered alongside was bland. My husband ordered the French Dip- it was lots of bread and very little meat. My son got the kids PB&J sandwich- which apparently is served on sourdough bread. We sent that back as it was disgusting. My daughter ordered the kids chicken noodle soup, which was not bad. The service was mediocre but they did remake my sons sandwich on honey wheat bread which was a little better. We did not try the pastries and I doubt we will come back to do so.
(1)Sarah L.
If you appreciate prompt service then avoid this restaurant!! Order placed @ 1058 for carry out. Yes, it was very busy since it was Saturday morning. My Mother and I didn't understand why there were so many rude and irritated customers. Well, 30 after waiting, order was inquired about and was told 10 min. 20 min extra of waiting puts ticket time at 45 min. (2 sandwiches and French toast). Told the manager to cancel the order but was assured was coming right up. While observing others, our order was given to another table. The staff is made of teenagers with no real leadership. Plenty of laughing, poking, pushing and joking happening while customers are watching and becoming angry. Food was good but didn't really care after all that
(1)Chris C.
If I could give this place zero stars I would. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT eat here. I decided to go through the drive through at about 730 at night. The restaurant was slow inside so I figured I would get my food pretty quick. IT TOOK 30 MINUTES TO GET MY FOOD... AT A DRIVE THROUGH!!!!! The panini sandwich combo cost me $12.50 and it was so small it took me 2 minutes, if that, to eat. $12.50 and 30 minutes of my life gone to eat a mediocre sandwich that didn't even fill me up in the slightest. I'm making an omelet as I right this, infuriated. Oh and the teenagers that work there have ZERO customer service skills. "You can leave, the straws in the bag."
(1)Deanna R.
We've eaten here a few times. I usually get the Turkey, Bacon, Avocado sandwich (served on Focaccia) for $8. It's a fresh, very tasty sandwich, and I've enjoyed it each time. My boyfriend typically gets the same or the Franch Dip. I've also had a Caramel Macchiato, which was as good or better than a Starbucks. And, the chocolate dipped strawberries are awesome!!! One is large enough to be a whole dessert. I also like the fact that unlike some of their competition, Kneaders has a drive thru. I found it interesting that they are part restaurant, part boutique store. At least, that's what I call it. We've never had an issue with the food or service, and I would definitely eat here again. Regarding the question of bringing kids, if you can keep them away from the boutique store area, then there should be no issue. They have some breakables and fabric things that could get broken or messed up if a child (or anyone, really) is not careful.
(4)Mara L.
Heard so many good things about this place. So my husband and I decided to try it out. We both got the turkey, bacon, avocado sandwich. Asked the girl what was on it and she gave my husband the worst attitude when we asked her! So we proceed our order and she told us our total, when she handed our card back she literally almost threw it at him! Just for that we will not be returning! On the other note the sandwiches were okay, maybe it was just the experience that ruined it. Will visit other locations next time!
(1)C M.
The idea of this place is great. The actual experience is not. Nice place, decor is pleasant, clean enough and good food. The problem is they seem to be greatly understaffed every time I visit. I have had decent people in terms of services, and a few that I felt could use more training. I always experience a long wait and sometimes a little frustration due to what seems to be a lack of training. The folks that seem to be the managers are always working, which I appreciate, there's just not enough people for what needs to be done. I don't know if this place will make it with their slow service and the competing, similar restaurants nearby.

The bread here is out of this world and so are the pastries, this is not fast food so it takes a few minutes. The staff is young but helpful Ok all the food here is fresh and yummy But the bread is king here.
(5)Andrea W.
Besides not being able to find the portobella on my portobella grill sandwich, it was very good.
(3)Kimmypate ..
dissapointed 16 bucks for a Greek scramble and pecan pancakes, 2 coffees Scramble was over cooked, portion was probably a cup? Customer service failed to tell me about "all you can eat French toast and pancakes" Also failed to inform me of loyalty card I had to read these things on signs they had hanging

2.5 Stars My visit was on the first week of this Kneaders Bakery & Cafe(KBC) opening it's doors. The cashiers did not know the menu and did not know what the sandwiches, soups or salads had in them. I will give these kids a pass since they are learning the ropes, needless to say it took a longtime to place my order. It would have been a better first impression if they were organized! My family and I ordered the following items: *Pastrami Cafe Croissant combo #3 ($10.78) - it was a run of the mill pastrami and swiss sandwich on a croissant. The sandwich was lucky to have three slices of pastrami along with lettuce and tomato. This combo came with a bag of chips, side salad, drink and pastry of choice which was a cinnamon roll in our case. The sandwich was very skimpy and lacking in the flavor department. The cinnamon roll was very basic and one that you can buy from a convenience store! *1/2 Veggie Avocado combo #1 ($7.58) - we ordered this half sandwich on focaccia bread which was entered in their register correctly, but came out on sourdough bread. The sandwich coming out with the incorrect bread shows KBC does not have any quality measures in place. This combo came with a artichoke portobello soup and drink. The sandwich had a fair amount of avocado but where's the veggies, yes veggies were skimpy! It had a great taste to it. The soup on the other hand was perfect if you were in a hospital or retirement home, very bland. *Veggie Avocado Cafe Croissant combo #1 ($9.78) - this veggie avocado sandwich left the same impression as the one above with the exception it was on a croissant and a full sandwich. The combo came with a side salad, red lentil sweet potato soup and a drink. The soup lacked flavor to match our other soup. *Chocolate Chip Cookie ($1.79) - pretty good size and above average taste. *Cannoli ($2.59) - pretty good size but have had better from a grocery store. *Chocolate Covered Strawberry ($2.19) - overpriced but hard to get this simple treat wrong. Once my family and I finished our meals we needed a couple boxes to take the cinnamon roll and other pastries home. I walked up the the registers and stood in the walkway of behind the counter and kitchen to get someone's attention. After a few seconds of not being acknowledged I raised my voice to breakup the two blue shirts(persons of authority?) and another employee's conversation to request my takeout boxes. I am a big man and very noticeable, so for these employees to already ignore customers on just the first week of being open is not a good sign! KBC touts itself as a artisan bakery, sandwich, soup and salad restaurant. The quality and quantity of food served to us does not meet my expectations for what we paid. I can overlook the lack of service and chalk it up to everyone still getting acclimated to their jobs but will not excuse the food! Take heed Yelpers...expect subpar food!

Last minute, when no one else had carrot cake, I called and the employee happily said they had a whole carrot cake available. The cake was ready when I picked it up. It was delicious. The cream cheese frosting had a little too much powdered sugar (just a personal preference) but the cake was fresh, moist, and had lots of walnuts. Definitely the best store-bought carrot cake I've had.
(4)Franklin B.
Disappointing. Slow service. Chicken Caesar salad hardly had any chicken in it. Overpriced. Better value and quality across the parking lot in the Costco food court. Tries to be like a Paradise Bakery, only with a more limited and less impressive selection. I won't return.
(2)Samantha D.
I had a craving for something sweet so I looked up bakeries and Kneaders came up so I decided to give it a shot. I ordered a cannoli and a fruit tart (I'm a college student studying, I need brain food hahahaha). I used the online ordering and stated my pick up time would be 7:45 pm. When I got there it was pretty quiet and my order was ready, I picked it up in the drive thru window which was really convenient. The fruit tart had really fresh fruit on top and a delicious cream cheese type of filling, just delicious and it was pretty too!! The cannoli I bought was some type of orange-lemon citrus cannoli and was delicious as well, sweet but also refreshing without being overdone. I believe the tart was $2 and the cannoli was about $2.50, making my total $5.38. Both treats were a pretty good size without being too much and I thought it was a great price for something so delicious, pretty, and nicely sized. I'll have to make Kneaders my go to spot for my sweet tooth cravings, I will be coming back :)
(5)Carrie R.
Excellent sandwiches. The bread is so fresh. Had the turkey ranch sandwich on sourdough ! So good. Peanut butter cookie fir dessert. Delicious
(5)Luciana L.
We went with another family who got their order and we were still waiting 10 minutes later. It seemed like they just forgot about us or something but they were quick to apologize and even gave us a couple of free cookies, which were delicious. The sandwiches are pretty big portions in my opinion. Next time the hubs and I will probably share one. I wish they had half orders. Decent service, yummy food and cute décor inside.
(4)Sean W.
I love Kneaders, just not this one. Kneaders should fire the owner of this franchise immediately and save their good name. I was so excited when I saw that they were going to build this place! We don't go anymore because we are tired of battling the staff to get all our order ( they forget something EVERY time). When the food is done right, it is Awesome! But, it's hit and miss...
(2)Jenette B.
We were curious to check out this new restaurant, but it was disappointing from the start. From the doorway in, everything was dirty. Rugs were misplaced across the floor at angles. Including us, the restaurant was about 90% empty, yet the staff just meandered around the kitchen. We ordered bakery items, and then realized every table was dirty. This is not professionally operated! They will need a good manager to turn things around.
(2)Shawnic D.
My work ordered this for our month end dinner, and it's amazing. The sandwiches are huge and worth the price. I got a turkey bacon on focaccia bread. Literally the best sandwich I've ever had.
(5)Mac H.
My husband and I had breakfast there at this location yesterday morning. We had the same thing the French Toast. One word --- FAIL...Mine was cold.. I was like WTH??? The French Toast was way tooo bready and weird tasting, my eggs were werider and bacon just filled of grease, who likes that ??? Not I ... It was not was I was expecting.. I will stick to the sandwiches, I prefer wayyyyyyy better than their so called breakfasts. They are a little toooo $$ for my personal taste.. but it's still a nice place to hang but again a little too $$.. Just saying
(2)Sheri K.
I took the citrus chicken salad to go. The salad was huge. I had half for dinner and the other half for lunch the next day. I thought the wait time was just right for my freshly made meal. The line of customers was steady and everyone seemed happy. The interior is clean and bright.
(5)suzy d.
Just OK. Average prices, average customer service, average portion. Ordered a pastrami sandwich, which looked, tasted like deli meat from the grocery store. On a brighter side, the key lime tart was delicious. This may be a once-a-year destination.
(3)Leslie P.
The pastries are delicious but the customer service isn't very good. They weren't very friendly and they kept us waiting so long for our order, to discover they actually forgot about us. When we asked, they handed us the bag. They weren't busy either.
(3)Kris O.
Staff is nice. Place was clean. Food was good. It's a good option if you want s sandwich or salad but want a change from your usually spot. I'd go back. The parking lot was full so I parked in back and almost got hit by a car in the drive through. Its safer to Parker on the other side.
(4)Maggie B.
First I will say that we will never go back. We orderd Rueben sandwiches. The only good thing was the bread. I think that they forgot to use pastrami. It was clearly roast beef. There is NO mistaking the diffeernce between the two. In a whole sandwich, there was one very thin layer of meat that did not even cover the whole sandwich. They forgot to bring out the "parmesan" chips. They finally brought out soggy, tasteless chips There was absolutely no trace of parmesan anywhere. ALL of the tables were dirty. I went and asked if someone could come and clean some tables. The guy was washing tables and chairs using the same filthy rag. nasty nasty As I said, NEVER again going to Kneaders. There are too many other good sandwich shops.
(1)Ru L.
Saw a story on the news a couple nights ago about this chain and thought I'd give it a try. Ordered some sort of fruit danish for me and cinnamon roll for my husband. He liked the cinnamon roll. I found the danish to be production line bland and the dough extremely spongy. They're going for a target demographic here. I'm upper middle class Caucasian. It's not me. For price and quality you're better off going to Daily Donut on Indian School.
(3)Tiffani S.
Great customer service. I will definitlely go back here. Super nice employees. Not a very long wait. I've been there quite a bit and I really like it. If you like cannolis, these cannolis are pretty fantastic, not gonna lie. So try the cannoli!
(5)Robert D.
This place has terrible service and it takes them forever to push orders out . This was the second time I struck out here and the last . The first time we waited 15 minutes for pastries that are already made all they had to do is put them in boxes , it seems that the back staff does all the order pulling so after I ordered I waited and waited while the cashier just stood there . The second time was the same but this time I said something but I still managed to get out around the same time 16 minutes . I haven't tried anything they cook to order just the pastries which are ok except the connoli's which were soggy.
(1)Rick N.
We waited forever for a tiny cup of Oatmeal that was outrageously expensive. Why is this place busy, I don't get it
(2)Monica J.
Tonight was our first time seeing this restaurant and gave it a shot because it was a healthier quick (even drive through) option in the west valley. We ordered the Citrus Salad, Veggie Avocado Sandwich, Asiago Soup, and Three Cheese Cauliflower Soup. The salad was ordered with no chicken, but when we got home noticed they did not leave the chicken off. The salad was offered with bread or croutons, and neither was in the bag when we took our food out. The sandwich was salty, but we were unable to determine where that came from. The Asiago had too strong of a distinct flavor. The cauliflower soup was probably the best item. For to-go orders, it's got to be right the first time. By the time people get home, it's too late to try and make it right. We'll most likely to continue eating at Paradise Bakery right across the street.
(2)Leslee S.
This location was not near as good as the food I've had at Kneaders off of Bell. My Turkey and Avacado sandwich was very dry and the soup sample was boiling hot and I totally burnt my tongue even after blowing on it for quite some time. I will never go back to this location :/ I actually crave their food, I love their food but this just goes to show the locations vary on taste!
(2)Robert B.
The French dip here taste pretty damn goods and it of a decent size just wish they would put a little more meat
(4)Julie C.
Had a club sandwich and it was $7.99, no sides or chips or anything. Thought it was expensive. Made my stomach upset.
(2)Aaron W.
Foods great....Service not so great. Tonight ordered Tomato, bacon, avocado salad...no avocado! to be newly opened they better improve their quality of service.
(2)Linda W.
Closed on a Sunday. Not very good for a new restaurant. Lots of cars driving up and reading closed sign
(1)N. T.
This was not a good experience. The menu on the wall was very sparse (ie: no descriptions of what any of the food was), and when I asked the woman at the register what was in a sandwich, she had trouble telling me. I also inquired about what kind of cheese was in a soup and whether or not it was pasteurized (I'm pregnant) and was told that it was not, even though I've literally never heard of Jack and cheddar cheese being unpasteurized unless it's right off the farm. Furthermore, we waited in line forever (I think due to the fact that the menu didn't offer much help and there being only one register open during lunch (and the slow service at the register). I ordered a panini and a soup and it took longer than you'd think to get my food. The soup was fine, but the panini was a huge disappointment. It had hardly any flavor and although I had asked for a different kind of bread, the sandwich came out with the bread it was originally on. For nearly $9, the sandwich left much to be desired. Lastly, the ambiance was poor. You can see into the kitchen and, while clean looking, was messy. The food came out w/o untensils (even though we were dining in and I ordered soup), which was surprising to me. Overall, I would not recommend Kneaders and certainly will not be coming back.
(1)Robin B.
This is an AMAZING place...I love love love the food...best sandwich for the money I've ever had. My favorite is the Turkey Bacon Avocado on whole wheat, which is TWICE THE SIZE of Paradise Bakery's! Fresh, FREE BREAD SAMPLES while you wait, what more could you ask for? I will say that the staff is not that polished, BUT--they fix anything they messed up quickly (like taking off tomato when I asked for no tomato). I will not go back to Paradise or Corner Bakery ever again unless a gun is put to my head, lol. Seriously, the most food for your money, people!
(5)Marisol L.
Came in to get a quick bite to eat in my lunch break from night school. I waited 10 minutes in line just to order because they only had one cashier open. I ordered a chicken Caesar. Salad with the chicken noodle soup it looked fresh but when I got it back to class and began to eat it I noticed that there wasn't very much chicken. I ignored it being that I was starving as I began to eat I noticed there was a piece of hard plastic in my salad. I could have cut my mouth or something on it. The scary part is that the plastic was clear and blended in with my salad so if I wasn't paying attention I could have been injured. I couldn't eat any more being that I was scared of what other pieces were in there! Overall this place clearly is too new and doesn't know how to operate safely if something was broken near the salad that entire batch should have been thrown away! For the 12$ I spent I won't be coming back
(1)Sydney W.
I was excited to try this new place but have been here twice and that was once too many! Service is horrible. Both times they messed up the order and never got it fixed until we got irritated and asked when they were bringing the right part of the order. The sandwiches are pathetic. No filling and nothing to even make them tasty. If you want a good lunch, go somewhere else!
