There's no excuse for me NOT to come here every week. Living in Arvada, Knead the Bakery is a staple. I finally woke up early to come here and order a small bag of pastries - specifically Cheese Danish, Apple Fruit Diamond, and Bear Claw. I took them home to enjoy with my coffee. Plenty of parking in this strip mall lot. Customer service is great. My favorite pastry was the Bear Claw, which one of the staff members recommended. The Fruit Diamond was delicious as well. I thought I'd like the Cheese Danish more than I did, but it was only okay. Next time I'm getting some of the larger pastries to split. Great place to stop by before heading into the office OR hang out here. There were quite a few people in the weekday morning crowd just chilling at one of the many tables in this surprisingly large bakery. Can't wait to try more! read more

Great Bakery! I purchased sourdough and French loaves from here and they are fantastic!! Fresh, soft and tasty. I'm using this bread for dipping in my own seasoned evoo and making sandwiches. The price is reasonable and the service was very inviting and helpful. The atmosphere is also very clean and cheery. Super cute place inside! I'm thrilled this bakery is in my neighborhood! I definitely will be a returning customer!! read more

Awesome bakery with a great selection of bread and pastries as well as some seasonal offerings.

Service with a small and the pastry was delicious. We tried a little of everything. The ham and cheese croissant was perfect.

Excellent service and friendly staff. They usually have day old baked goods for 1/2 price. Everything is excellent!

Great bakery! I've tried most of their stuff, never had a bad experience. Not the pure sugar and butter that you get from the other bakeries in the area I have been going there for several years. read more

This is the spot!! Such a cute gem in Arvada. Reasonable prices, great service, and the pastries are absolutely delicious. Take it to go or they have cozy seating options inside. Always regulars in there which is a telltale sign of how great of a spot this is. So glad we live down the street from here and decided to stop in! read more

Love this place. The owners and staff are all incredibly nice. The baked goods are amazing!!! They know all the regulars and make sure you grab something for later you're going to want seconds. Bring a big box when visiting friends, family and casting sessions. One visit and you're going to be hooked. read more

Love the Asiago bread, can't find it anywhere else. Too bad they closed the Arvada Kneaders.. Parker is kinda far for a loaf of bread.

I love this family owned bakery. The bread and pastries are fabulous! The people that own it and their staff are super friendly. It's a fairly small cozy place with beautiful artwork that can be purchased. I recommend it ! read more

If you are looking for ginormous croissants, look no further. This is the place. Very reasonable prices too. My ham and cheese croissant was delicious. Freshly baked. It was pretty full when I stopped by at 11am. Super nice and friendly staff. Quick service. It's also near the new Goomba's location so you can pick up some pastries and some pizza and go to town on the carbs. :) read more

Knead the Bakery - Ham and cheese croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

Everything's great atmosphere helpful staff great products. I especially like the raisin pastry and the fresh bread.

I had a friend who brought some pastry with him to our weekly golf outing. I had the Cherry mini pie. It was fabulous and I knew I wanted more. When I got home I told my wife about it and we went to enjoy a breakfast croissant and some of the other goodies they have. We loaded up box to take home. The breakfast Croissant was very good and a great amount of ham in it. They were very tasty. If you are looking for a different bakery and not your run of the mill bakery. This is it. read more

What a refreshing change from the current glut of depressing, poorly run, impersonable establishments that are so common nowadays. Seriously... it feels like traveling back in time to a better day. Dang! I am officially old, feeling like this. Staff is super friendly, helpful and cheery. The bread and pastries are awesome and the coffee is good. Day old loaves of bread are only $3.75. Cannot recommend enough! read more

Nothing less than 5 stars for food quality AND service. This place is always busy (a great sign) and somehow the people behind the counter always make you feel like you're their only customer. Friendly, courteous and helpful, everything about this place is a gem! I'm so happy we found it, and I will shout their praises to the rooftops even if it means risking them being sold out read more

Friendly staff that acknowledges you when you walk in the bakery. The food looks tempting and tastes as good as it looks. You will find yourself walking back and forth in front of the display case selecting more items than you originally came in to purchase. You won't be able to buy just one item and the products taste much more genuine than another famous Arvada bakery. Bonus: they have plentiful space inside the bakery to sit and enjoy your purchase. read more

Amazing. Friendly, fun atmosphere. In door/out door seating. Great prices, sit down and enjoy, take something home.

I had the most amazing, large and tasty cheese danish i could ever imagine. My friends got a blueberry strudel and it looked like a massive amount of blueberries in it. Prices are modest and quality equal to better than bakeries that are much more pricy. Closed on Monday and Tuesdays. Fresh bread, and also closed for January. Good for them. Very friendly. Had the monster cheese danish, wifey had elephants ear, big also and a large coffee for under $10. Wow. Give it a try, hidden a couple of doors down from the motor vehicle registry. Enjoy. read more

Great service and amazing pastries. My husband and I went in this past weekend after doing some research on local bakeries and found this one in our area. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a very welcoming atmosphere. They have a wide variety of pastries. We tried out their danishes and an apple strudel, all were very delicious. If you're in the area (and craving some yummy pastries) I'd definitely give this place a try. read more

This is the best pastry and breads you can get. Our neighbor told us about this bakery, and everything has been so good. I'm glad it's a little way aways I would weigh 100 pounds more. I went there to get our neighbor some treats, she's been played up. I know her and her husband will enjoy. The staff are so nice also. read more

Knead the bakery has a fantastic assortment of pastries. I enjoyed the service provided and left satisfied with my purchase. The ambiance was classic coffee shop style. read more

Stopped here around lunchtime to get some bread and pastries. We got a light rye sandwich loaf that was sort of an old school American sandwich bread - softer, uniform crumb and light crust with a light rye flavor. Pastries are quite generously sized (think they were all under $3). Would be good to get a box if it's your turn to treat the office. Owner was friendly! read more

This place is great! My spouse has a very severe peanut allergy and finding local bakeries that are safe for us to try can be quite a challenge. Luckily, I called and spoke with someone and they let me know they don't use peanuts in this facility. I went and picked up a French loaf, raspberry danish, and the custard cinnamon roll. All fantastic choices, though I can't recommend the cinnamon roll highly enough (it's so good it should be illegal). We're definitely coming back to try all the other goodies. Also it was really sweet how many regulars were there and the gal behind the counter seemed to know them all by name. What a gem of a local business, give them a try even if it's a little out of your way! read more

This is my go-to place for goodies and bread! Love that it's a small family-owned business. Stephanie and her team are the best!!!

Love their large almond croissants and soup variety and French toast. The server always delivers your meal to your table with a friendly comment. read more

OMG - My realtor (Kim Beaumund w/PorchLight) dropped off a Thanksgiving pie (blueberry with a sugared top crust) which was sooo nice and OMG ... the BEST PIE EVER. I'm not even a dessert person and I'm a total pacifist, but I'm pretty sure I'd get in a fight over this pie! Eat this pie! Eat everything from this place! Outstanding! read more

This is a little bit of a hodge podge of a strip mall. Why? There's a bingo place and a dive bar. Well there's also a DMV. It's next to Knead. Knead the Bakery. Pretty cool name. They're about seven months new but the lady that was there yesterday was the epitome of a good business owner. Pleasant, friendly but professional. Free wifi ! Oh yeah! Now this is my main reason for giving her the full five stars! Her prices! The quality of her pastries! Have you heard your wallet groan at the pastry prices out there? Yeah. Some even have the nerve to charge close to $10! Here almost everything is under $2! I had two pastries plus a hot chocolate for $5 and change! I was floored! When I tried her every day freshly baked offerings I was more surprised! What?? This good and fresh and so cheap? $1.75 to be Exact! In fact I got confused lol! I almost went up to her and asked if she made a mistake in charging me. Instead I opted to read a few reviews and it was mentioned there! I love promoting and helping out small mom and pops businesses. Stop by! There's lots of parking! read more

Knead the Bakery makes THE BEST coconut macaroons. They are the size of baseballs, dense and moist in the middle and crunchy on the outside. Magical. read more

This a great little bakery and nice place to get a cup of coffee and visit with friends. The coffee is good and simple plain coffee. The baked goods are scrumptious!! I have had the croissants with ham and cheese and spinach...yum! The sour dough loaves are also good. You can buy them whole or sliced. The rest of the goodies also look delish! You should check this place out! read more

One of the best bakeries in the denver metro area. Even their day old stuff is better then most bakeries fresh baked goods. Croissants, bread, everything is good here read more

Wow! What a surprising find. Up in Arvada for a basketball tournament and had time to kill. We go one of each croissant and a bunch of cinnamon bark. The croissants were the best we've ever had. Ever. Even better than the Parisan cafes we've visited. My daughter got the custard cinnamon roll and while I thought it was amazing, she thought the custard was too thick. But it was really good custard!! We left with a loaf of cinnamon bread for future French toast. The manager was here and she is such a delight. So full of light and joy. Fast and efficient service. If you like quaint and fun places, check this one out. read more

You really need to search out this local gem. Classic old world flaky pastry dough, consistently prepared fresh daily. Often my Sunday morning wake up visit to gather snacks for the family. We have our favorites, my wife loves the cherry almond pastry. I alternate from the walnut roll to the raisin roll. Both bring me back to a piazza in Roma. Try their hamburger rolls, holds up well to a juicy burger. Try their baguette, great fresh, equally good stale as French toast. Thank Stephanie, see you this Sunday morning as you open! read more

Excellent home baked breads & fantastic selection of chocolate, sweet or savory croissants together with pastries.

Best fresh bread and pastries in Arvada. Great service, friendly. Clean and quiet. This place is an undiscovered gem!

My first mistake was thinking that this bakery was like any other. So I ordered 3 bakery items and my to surprise. They were LARGE and my heart was instantly happy. Fast forward to the last bite, my heart and stomach are both equally happy and I am forever a loyal customer. I got my money's worth and more! Thank you!!!! read more

I still love this place. Everything is great, good price and always a friendly greeting. I wish they would add more items for me to get fat on. read more

Historically, Colorado has struggled to provide good bakeries. It's just the way it was. Not anymore. While there are several popping up throughout the state most have decent to good to a few great pastries. Sadly they are also expensive. Knead the Bakery to the rescue! Situated in an unassuming strip mall (seriously, there is a bingo place a few doors down) this little gem is absolutely worth a trip. If you are not already on the way, better get going. Every item I have had here is awesome. Like, really awesome. My favorites are the spinach and cheese croissant, almond ring (ohmygod), raisin roll, cinnamon roll with custard, cinnamon bark slice. Even better, almost all of the pastries are $3 or less! Now you can really load up. Stephanie is always up front and is just the nicest. Even though I have never met her husband, I know they are both good people with a great dream to open this bakery. I love supporting them by selfishly ordering pastry after pastry after pastry. One note to keep in mind at the beginning of the year: they close for the month of January. So stock up in December! read more

Amazing food, wonderful staff, and great prices! The breakfast pastries are a must- sweet and savory options. Highly recommend this bakery!

We love this place. We go every week to buy a few fresh sourdough loafs and a hand full of pastries. Hands down the best sourdough we have ever had. Better than Boudin's. We are customers for life. read more
