Looking for a local coffee shop/cafe after an overnight stay in Winchester. Knead Bread offered friendly service, a very tasty blueberry scone and delicious coffee read more

I was looking for good bread near Winchester, VA. A Google search pointed me to Knead. Here's the thing -- this isn't just good bread in Winchester. This is good bread on an absolute scale. Rustic loaves with toothsome grain. And scones. And cookies. A breakfast sandwich to die for (on ciabatta, no less). And the coffee is what coffee *should* be. Exquisite food, really. I'll have to come back for the focaccia. read more

This bakery is just off the historic arcade in downtown Winchester. It is open on Sundays to a reasonable hour, which is why I stopped in. Their selection was slanted towards non-vegetarian items such that only a couple of their pizza slices were an option for me, and did not have quite as diverse a set of sweets as I'd hoped for. Having said that, the quality was there, so I took a shot on a large focaccia pizza slice with multiple peppers. It was very bready but bubbled nicely and I was able to make a good small meal out of a single slice. The sourdough bread that I got was available sliced, and was mild but satisfying in flavor and texture. It was a pleasant shop to eat in and had an outdoor courtyard. Even though the menu was not exactly what I wanted it to be, there was enough that I could see returning. read more

I'm out of state and have had them make and deliver to a dear friend in Winchester VA a birthday gift of her favorite scones. They were delivered on her birthday and exactly as I ordered. They normally do not provide this long distance service, but we're very accommodating. They make the scones fresh every day. Much appreciated the effort they took at the reasonable price quoted. read more

Delish! Well stocked around 1pm. Super friendly and welcoming. It's nice to find a bakery with long hours. Will definitely make the hour drive back! read more

Food service and ambiance. All too quality. Prices are reasonable and you leave feeling very satisfied. Worth it!

Amazing baked goods and sandwiches! The simple egg, bacon, and arugula on sourdough tasted like heaven. The scones were the bomb.....I wanted everything. Will definitely be back when traveling through! read more

A few loves in my life; my family, dogs, quality coffee, visiting new places (especially cities), alleyways, murals, bookstores, a good thrift find, and of course bread. When I say bread I speak of that baked dough in all its glorious forms; pizza, croissants, scones, biscuits, calzones, kolaches, doughnuts, sourdough, bagels, potato bread, banana bread...okay I've made my point. Every meal, every day, every way. That is my obsession with bread. You have to admit there is no aroma so alluring and welcoming and calming as that of fresh baked bread. And thus a personal mission, upon moving to Virginia, was to find a bakery with a swiftness. It did not take long. Knead Bread is close to home (which is dangerous) and located in Old Town (even more dangerous considering the amount of time I spend there). Anything and everything they create is delicious, but I will give one example. I am a ardent supporter (and consumer) of oatmeal cookies. Soft, filling, and subtle. I saw they had a specialty cookie, a oatmeal golden raisin. I came in and asked, "how soft is your oatmeal cookie?" The team member behind the counter picked one up and almost folded it in half, without it breaking. I was convinced! That is the level of quality you'll find in their danishes, tarts, and so much more. If you're near Old Town, and even if you aren't, stop by. Order at least three very different items. And be prepared to eat them all before you ever get home. This is not a time for sharing. read more

Great pastries, coffee and quaint shop. The deserts are amazing today was an apple danish day and it did not disappoint. Service is always excellent. read more

First time visit to Knead Bread, LLC today and wow this place is the total package. Had the best ham & cheeze panini ever, a choc cookie and took a ham focaccia and biscotti home. And the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger... I'll be back read more

Stopped in for something for breakfast and left with a blueberry hand pie and a loaf of sourdough. There was a lot of pastry to choose from though most of the danish didn't have much rise or flake to them. They have self serve coffee and a few tables. It was quiet when I stopped in at 7:45AM, the women working were friendly and quick to ring us up and make a breakfast sandwich for my colleague! read more

If you haven't been to Knead Bread, you have to go. This is not just an awesome Bakery. It is a bakery, coffee bar, delicious breakfast and lunch restaurant. Everything served is of high quality, extremely fresh, and baked on premise. The owners actually do the baking, serve you with a smile, and thank you for bringing a customer. All the staff are super friendly. Knead Bread has inside and outside seating and it is certainly worth the trip. You won't be disappointed. read more

5+++ What a wonderful bakery with great people. A last-minute order to help with food for a family luncheon after a memorial service was a life saver - so delicious and really enjoyed by those attending. Thank you! Such a pleasure to receive delicious goods from people who really care. read more

Walking around old town for the first time in years and stumbled on this cute bakery. I can't resist local, small business bakeries so had to stop in. I immediately knew I'd made a (delicious) mistake and would be leaving with far more than I'd planted on. The cashier, baker, and owner were all some of the nicest people you'll ever meet and very helpful. They had a number of delicious sounding sandwiches but we went with some autumnally spiced biscotti, anise shortbread, and a couple slabs of focaccia. The focaccia is fantastically soft, not too oily, and loaded with flavorful toppings. I love a good "snacking" focaccia, versus the kind for sandwich bread, and this fits the bill. I had some with soup for dinner. The price may seem high but you get 2 meals out of it, at least. I love anise and anything licorice. The cookies delivered in their name and were very well spiced. The sweet glaze added a good balance to the buttery cookie and sharp spice. The "spiced" biscotti are the perfect coffee or chai dunker. Really well seasoned. They're a bit hard so really benefit from a dip in a coffee, cappuccino, or tea. I have a new "must stop" place when in Winchester. Love supporting small businesses. Especially when the people are as great as the food. read more

This is such a cute place that I WANT to like it. It was never quite up to European standards, and the coffee products, while drinkable, were never great, but something has changed. A new pastry chef maybe? Danishes, which should be flakey and light, look like dense focaccia. Based on how they are all squares, they are likely being rolled out on a pan and cut into slices. Their texture is all wrong. The cinnamon rolls have an equally dens, not light or fluffy texture. The quality has gone downhill. There's nothing 'pastry' about their pastries; they're all just very dense bread. read more

I'm a frequent visitor to a Knead Bread, and the owners, Sarah and Steve Dillon, make you feel as tho you're next door neighbors. And, the fresh, artisan breads and tasty pastries are second to none. In the warm weather, they've got hidden, umbrella shade patio. So, grab a cup of coffee/tea, a pastry and settle in! read more

Really nice place. Bread and pastries were excellent. Excellent place to sit and enjoy a morning beverage with a large assortment of pastries. read more

Just went to Winchester to go walking the town and dropped in this amazing bakery/cafe. So many amazing and eccentric options it is hard to choose. Never had an orange cranberry scone with ham, bacon, mozz and a honey drizzle. Never would've thought of that. But, I love it! My wife is having the cinnamon roll with ham, bacon, mozz and a honey drizzle. These are NOT the corporate kind of stuff that's shipped in ready-made and topped with deli-meat kind of ham and bacon-sprinkles. This IS all in-house It is also a little taste of heaven. We shared the Strawberry filled Bavarian Cream. SO good. We were fork-fighting over the last bite. We have high hopes for the sourdough loaf we are taking home . read more

Knead Bread - Sentiment statement by owner - Bakeries Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

Absolutely delicious bread. They also have huge cinnamon buns slathered in cream cheese frosting. My son has a dairy allergy, so we're always looking for dairy-free options. For the most part, their breads are dairy free. They also make a delicious hot chocolate with oat milk so we enjoyed a dairy-free hot chocolate yesterday when we visited. Oh and the people who run the place are just good folks. Give them a visit. You won't be sorry. read more

Delicious! So many items I want to try but so little time. Stopped by for a coffee and breakfast pastry and wasn't disappointed. Whether you crave sweet or savory, there will be something to your likes by no doubt! Service was wonderful. The staff was wRm and friendly. Quaint vibe. No frills but a great location. Give it a try. read more

Fantastic service and really delicious goodies! My brother and I are out of state and we needed to send a gift delivery to our dad who was in the hospital in Winchester. The bakery's website looked really inviting and when we called, they were a joy to speak with and work with. They really gave the gift the personal touch and delivery was perfect! They sent us photos of the goodies and of our dad's happy face when he received the cookies and cinnamon rolls. I was blown away with their sweet and cheerful demeanor in all our dealings with them, and with their professionalism with the order. Dad went on and on about how fantastic the goodies were!! We're looking forward to being in-person customers really soon! read more

Perfect... service, items to eat and ambiance. Great addition to charming downtown Winchester. Original baked items for breakfast and lunch. Great to have in community. read more

Sampled about 5-6 items. So yummy. Lil costly but supporting small businesses I'll still return. Delicious & friendly place

This place is a welcome delight in Winchester. I've only been once but know I will become a regular. Everything looks so beautiful and you can see the care that has gone into the menu and each treat. I ordered a ham tomato egg and provolone sandwich on honey wheat sourdough, it was incredible. I am excited to try their other food and am ordering their thanksgiving Stromboli to add to our thanksgiving app spread. I'm always happy to support small business and look forward to many more visits. read more

Incredible food, kind servers! Gone eight times so far and plan to continue. enough said.

Finally a good bakery in Winchester. They have great breads as well as pastries. The danishes and scones are awesome. It's a bit pricey so it won't be a daily stop for me but definitely a treat for the weekend. read more

Great stop for a breakfast sandwich. Bread was fresh and light. Eggs were fried perfectly and pesto for breakfast is a keeper. So good we came twice in two days. Great location that is near the downtown pedestrian mall to go walk after read more

Great bread and danish! I love their fruit and meat hand pies. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing and the staff is friendly and helpful! Make sure you take time to stop by this lovely bakery!! read more

Heard a lot of hype for this cute, locally owned bakery and really want support it-- and I do with some reservations. The sourdough bread and focaccia were outstanding. Highly recommend. The scones were literally inedible... blueberry had no fresh blueberries inside just some take on blueberries on top. The second scone was equally bad and both had a distinct overwhelming taste of baking powder. They were dry and tasteless and went in the bin. The breakfast sandwiches were tasty and a good value. read more

My friend and I stopped in here to check out what they had to offer. As soon as we walked in the door, there was an aroma of fresh bread and baked goods! They had an area featuring all of their breads - various types and sizes of sourdough, focaccia, and ciabatta, to name a few. Then, they had a case full of baked goods- cinnamon rolls, danishes, muffins, and a handful of cookies. While we were there, they brought out a tray of cinnamon twists and a freshly baked pizza, sliced and ready to be served. They had a small handwritten menu with instructions on how to build your own breakfast sandwich. In addition, they had a small menu with a list of lunch options. Finally, they had a fresh drip coffee with a local coffee offering and various hot teas. The employee behind the counter was kind enough to answer any questions we had. After much debate, my friend and I decided to each take a small loaf of rosemary sourdough home. If you pay in cash, you receive a small discount! All in all, this was a fun bakery find. Truly fresh made breads, variety of baked goods, small food menu, and a small hot beverage selection. read more

Fell in love with this business from the moment they opened! I absolutely love their pastries and now that they have breakfast sandwiches that's just the cherry on top! Their customer service is always so warm and inviting. I'm a faithful customer. read more

Knead Bread - Bread counter - Bakeries Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

Very yummy little shop and the staff behind the counter are kind. I would recommend going closer to opening for an even better experience as it seems like they bake all their goods in the morning so towards closing (when we came) it wasn't as fresh. read more

The bread and bakery products that I purchased were excellent, 5- star excellent. The only reason I rated 4 stars is the price of some items. A Stromboli for $30 Is a little excessive as a pepperoni roll for $8. The pricing on bread and pastries is in line with other non-grocery store, I.e. Panera. The sourdough from here is the best in Winchester! The service was very friendly and the overall atmosphere is sorta old school, parking can be a challenge. read more
