I really enjoy the food and service at Knead. The ambiance is comfortable, and the staff works hard is an friendly. I like the collab with the artist that makes the cards and stickers. Most importantly I see the food staff wearing gloves and washing their hands. The counter help was friendly and attentive. Our favorites are the all of the Tartines, the cardamon rolls, and the Thai Farro. see below - I think the June 28, 2026 review by "Bessa" might be fake, as its a new account with only one review. read more

Knead Bakery and Bistro - a fake review? - Bakeries Near Me - Scituate, Massachusetts

I'm not usually one to order a sandwich, since I feel like that's something I can often make myself and it's not too exciting, but I decided to stop by Knead Bakery and Bistro while out on a bike ride with my friend. Their Chicken Pesto sandwich was actually quite delicious, so I was a happy camper! In terms of service and vibes, you can expect a standard café experience. We took our sandwiches to go and enjoyed them across the street, overlooking the water. read more

Cute little bakery and cafe with a modern and cozy setting. If you are craving a quality pastry this is the best spot in the area. The early gray morning bun was delicious as it offered that hint of tea mixed into the sugary goodness of the morning bun. Perfect flakey texture inside. Knead also offers a solid selection of standard coffee drinks and teas. There are a few small tables for indoor and outdoor seating and a big comfy couch as well read more

Great location near the beach for baked goods. On a Saturday about an hour before closing, they ran out of sandwich bread. Upon entering we were greeted with a smile. A cute dining area with a couch is very welcoming. Bus your own table. read more

Knead Bakery and Bistro - Chocolate croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Scituate, Massachusetts

A welcome addition to the Front Street area, Knead is an upscale bakery with an array of baked goods both sweet and savory. They have a full compliment of espresso drinks both hot and cold along with a unique prepared food menu consisting primarily of sourdough tartines (open faced sandwiches). First time here and the food was really good. Love sourdough so enjoyed their take on avocado toast with tomato, egg, and bacon. The latte was great too. Croque Monsieur is on the menu too so I will definitely be back to give that a try. read more

This has the potential to be a fun little stop for great sourdough and more. The bakery gods have channeled Victoria Donnelly to answer the call for more bakeries in the South shore. You would be forgiven if you mistook this cute spot for a live reenactment of something out of a Strawberry Shortcake cartoon -- bright colors, scrabble board-type menu and communal seating complement the vibe on Scituate's beachy Main Street. So far, the sourdough is the star here. The fermented, chewy texture hits just right. The tartines are colorful, but, apart from the bread, I found the flavors to be a bit boring. However, I took home a loaf for more and found the sliced sourdough to be a great complement to a fruity jam. Service was prompt and friendly -- the many associates did their best to move the line but that inevitably led to a slight bottleneck at the checkout. Certainly something that can be addressed over time. The ambition of the place is inspiring. I'm hoping it holds up against the more established bread makers in the area. Ms. Donnelly with her Food Network and other chops certainly has the pedigree. She has also lined up a list of collaborations -- New Hampshire coffee and organic soup maker to start. While her offerings seem a bit pricy for the area, hopefully her experience and partnerships will allow her to scale quickly and find her rhythm. Knead has great promise -- look forward to returning. read more

Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience at this place. Victoria, the owner, seemed indifferent to our concerns, which left us feeling that customer satisfaction was not a priority. I sincerely hope she treats her employees with more care and respect than we experienced as customers... read more

The food was good and the hipster vibe was intense. However, for the price, you get very little food and a lot of show. Essentially $15 for an open sandwich with a fancy name read more

Open until 5:00 but only sell food until 4:00. Stopped in at 3:45 to check out the menu planning to come back to get dinner to go. No indication anywhere that kitchen would close. Ordered a drink across the street and returned at 4:15 to wait 10 minutes in line behind someone placing a detailed catering order, only to be told that I couldn't order anything even though they were open for 35 more minutes. Also online menu is more extensive than in the store, so difficult to plan ahead. read more

Best bakery in Scituate. Great addition to front street. Scones and muffins are very good along with the coffee.

Amazing bakery! Offers a large array of sourdough sandwich choices, from sweet to savory. Their homemade sourdough bread is out of this world!! You can't go wrong with any of their choices -- muffins, cinnamon rolls, twists, scones, croissants, cupcakes/brownies. They also have a large drink menu with both coffee and tea choices. Seating is abundant, and there is plenty of parking around Scituate. Their location is perfectly located by the water. read more

The best croissants you can get on the South Shore - no question. They're always surprising me with new seasonal treats, and their Biscoff cupcakes have a permanent home in my heart (and stomach). We had a little bit of their catering for a Christmas party this year - a glorious charcuterie spread, the aforementioned cupcakes, and mini sausage rolls which were a HUGE hit. Such a lovely team of people behind that counter, bakers and owner included, and the place is gorgeous, clean, and bright. So excited to see what's next for Knead! read more

No parking, prices are super high , felt rushed in giving my order. Wasn't happy after waiting 30 minutes and to find they gave my sandwich to someone else. NO APOLOGY. Treated me like it was my fault. Waited another 15/20 minutes for my sandwich to find out their sandwiches are only a half sandwich . Decor is pretty and pastry's looked amazing. Unfortunately will not be back to find out. read more

Fabulous bakery. Pasties are delicious and the ambience is hip and calming. Great asset to Scituate.

We couldn't decide so made our own sampler plate - croissants, morning buns, sausage rolls and scones! Thought there would have some to take home, but nope! We will certainly make the trip down there again read more

So happy to have a real bakery in Scituate. So many yummy options. The bread is amazing, and the avocado toast was fantastic. The team did really well for a slammed first day opening. Thanks Knead!!! read more

Knead is the best bakery and bistro on the South Shore and it's not even close. I've been to them all but I'm drawn back to Knead time and time again. Perfect for breakfast or lunch with a menu full of amazing desserts, toasts and open faced sandwiches. Coffee was perfect and I got a loaf of their tasty sourdough to go. The staff are incredibly kind and attentive. Very cozy atmosphere. I Love Knead! read more

Walked in for a bun and coffee. Waited 10 minutes. Bun was excellent. Wanted to purchase fresh bread, but all sold out by 11am. Must get here at 7am to purchase bread or make a reservation for the next day. Good deal if you are local. read more

Not bad, but not great. Coffee wasn't great for the price. Pastry's were decent. Long wait. Stick to lucky fin.

Very friendly, super cute spot in Scituate. Stopped in for an afternoon caffeine pick me up. Lots of choices, ordered a london fog..was perfectly hot and blanced, not too sweet. I had the mini red velvet cupcakes, they were the right size bite of cream cheese and cake. The menu has unique toast combos, bowls, breads and pastries. I will be back for sure! read more

They don't know how to make specialty drinks. My Chai tea latte tasted like warm dishwasher. Expensive too! Ripoff.
