    Chicken Pesto Sandwich
    Chari M.

    Place is clean, friendly service....however the portion in sandwiches is very poor, a friend and I both ordered sandwiches for brunch, the amount of meat and veggies put in it is petty! I ordered Pesto Chicken, as you can see in photo, where's my pesto along with the rest of ingredients? If we ever come back it will only be for the French toast as they don't cheat you on serving amount as our other friend had that for brunch, I honestly rather spend money elsewhere that serves better portion for the price. Their brewed coffee was also not fresh, it was near to room temp, so more likely been there for couple hours.

    Chicken Salad Sandwich

    Very disappointed with my chicken salad sandwich that had very little chicken and yesterday's croissant. Photo on left is from Kneaders website and photo on right is my sandwich .

    I love this place I was so excited to come here after I flew back home It was in the top places I wanted to see. The french toast is to DIE FOR. oh my gosh the food and the syrup and everything. The employees were really nice and got everything taken care of I havent been here in a while and forgot that it came with strawberries and I'm allergic and they took care of it and remade it right away! I missed coming here all the time w family when I used to live here if you are thinking of somewhere to go with family I would 10000% reccomend coming here to get some of their delicous french toast.

    We are new to Arizona, so I stopped in to try this place, which seems similar to a Panera. I tried the wild rice soup and the cracked chicken sandwich. I thought both were really good. My husband wants to try the cranberry sandwich next time. The place is super cute inside. What impressed me most is the manager engaged me and we talked for over five minutes about kneaders's versus Panera. He was sharing how everything is made in house and the bakers come in super early in the morning to get everything baked fresh and all the soups made. They have a lovely display of goodies and breads. I tried the chocolate bread and it was excellent! They also have someone who will make a lovely gift package if you need a hostess gift or maybe a prize for an event. They have fun events like bingo night where you can win prizes and they have classes on baking and decorating cookies. It seems like a really special place and we look forward to returning. I appreciate Jose taking the time to share his enthusiasm for Kneaders with me.

    Untouched. This is how it came.

    Kneaders - at $12 for JUST a sandwich...DO BETTER! Ordered 4 sandwiches, all jammed into the small square to-go containers, no sides, no drinks, and woth a $50 receipt later, we were all disappointed. Bread ripped on both sides making it a total mess, the meat right in the middle, leaving all edges just bread and lettuce. Kneaders used to be a nice treat, comforting sandwiches, but I'm done. WAY too expensive for what you get and way too basic to choose Kneaders over so many sandwich shops. Such a shame.

    Turkey Sandwich- this was after they added turkey to it. It originally came with a third of that ‍

    So disappointed!!! Went in and ordered a turkey bacon sandwich for my husband and I got the turkey sandwich and soup combo. When our food arrived I took a bite of my sandwich only to discover there was no turkey. I opened it up and there was a sliver of shredded turkey. I ended up taking my sandwich to the counter and telling them to add turkey because there were none inside. She took my sandwich to the people preparing the food and quickly returned it to our table. Can't say it was much better! They added some turkey but still wasn't good. It was dry and very sad! I ended up throwing it away. My husband also said his sandwich was very dry and had the same shredded turkey. When you're spending $30 on sandwiches, you expect more. I expect more! I won't be returning to this location. Please see pics of my sandwich after they added more turkey.

I really want to try one of everything in their pastry display case! [this review was made in connection with a Toast promotion]

    Wow! This place went down. Stopped by on Tuesday with mom to have coffee and a baguette sandwich…read more That's our usual breakfast when we go out. The place was a chaos. The service people were trying to take orders, attending tables, helping customers to pick out pastries, all at the same time. Then they were bringing out food running around, trying to find the right table, and after failing to do so, would bring food back to the kitchen. It was 3 of them, running around, getting all confused. And it was only 1 person in the kitchen??? I've never seen anything like that before. The place gave me anxiety. And it wasn't even busy that day. It was Tuesday morning for crying out loud. I hate to think what's happening there over weekends! My order got completely screwed up. I got charged for two sponge cakes, instead of one. The baguette that they brought to the table 30 min later, was tiny, look like half baguette, when I ordered full baguette so we could split it with my mother. I know what full baguette supposed to look like. When I asked the cashier about that, she told me it was a full-size sandwich. Bullshit. They sure charged me for full size though. Full size baguette doesn't take 4 bites to finish! And coffee comes with the sandwich together. Coffee doesn't come first, it's not a drink! But they brought coffee first. Between coffee and a sandwich it took 20 minutes. The prices are very high for what they offer. They charge full price for half size portions. And the bread was dry and stale. Don't tell me it was today's fresh bread. I would never believe it. I feel like they ripped me off, frankly. So high prices, small portions and the service sucks. We are not going back there. There are lots of breakfast places like that all over town. The competition is overwhelming. No problem.

    This wasn't a pleasant experience. I had checked in online at 10:23am, was quoted a max wait of 55…read moreminutes, got to the physical location and checked in at 10:57am. The seating hostess asked, "Patio is okay?" I answered, "Yes, that is fine. We don't mind." And at this time, there was NO ONE seated outside, so she said it would be about 10-15 minutes. I said that was fine and went to wait with my family. About 10 minutes later my app said that we had been checked in and our new wait time was 0-5 minutes. It was not. We waited until 11:31am to be seated, and were seated INSIDE? No one was outside. We figured there must not be anyone available to work patio. We ordered our drinks and food right away as we had time to think about it during our wait, and knew what we wanted. Our food came out, but we didn't have silverware or our drinks (Morning Meditation and Blazing Dragon). My husband had to get up, go to the bar, and ask for silverware. We had water and my daughter had her apple juice so we went ahead and started eating. Our waitress came by and asked if we needed anything else, we asked, "Can we please get our drinks?" She went to get them and they were fairly watered down from the melted ice by that point, but they were still good. My food was okay. The pumpkin pancakes were a bit mushy in the middle, but otherwise tasted fine. Chicken apple sausage is always good. My over medium eggs that I gave to my husband were hard. And while eating his pancake he said, "Why does it taste burnt?" His top pancake looked fine, but when we picked it up, the second pancake was burnt. We told our waitress and she said she would have it redone. The second pancake showed up and again, it was burnt, not as bad as the first but still enough for it to taste burnt. Our waitress took it away. The pumpkin donuts were exceptional. My daughter liked her pumpkin pancakes, but she didn't understand why they put chives on her eggs. I told her probably because pumpkin pancakes were not on the kids menu, but we can let them know no chives next time. We were about to leave when we looked outside and they were seating a family of 6ish people. Maybe they got someone to come in? Overall, it was busy, there were some kinks... the food was alright. The place is clean and you can tell everyone is trying their best during the rush, we were just the unfortunate ones who got the domino effect of things not working out.

I opted for the Ham and cheese croissant, and the sausage croissant. Both breading was fantastic. Good flavor, airy yet crispy, just really well made. I will definitely come back for the ham and cheese croissant. The sausage croissant wasn't really for me (the bread was) it truly is a big sausage in there. It had good flavor, just isn't for me. If they could make just a plain cheese or bacon and cheese that would hit the spot lol We also got their regular cinnamon roll. The breading had a lovely sweet cinnamon flavor and the icing on top had a delicious creamy taste without being overly sweet. The odd part for us was the filling in the inside. I couldn't decide if I cared for it or not, I was almost feeling it was pushing the sweetness over just a bit so l may or may not get that again. Even tho they have seating inside, it feels more like a grab and go. You can def enjoy your item there. But I wouldn't say a spot where you can sit and catch up with a Friend or read a book. It also felt a bit too warm and stuffy so cranking down the AC a bit would help it feel more inviting especially from coming outside from the Arizona heat. I like to enjoy a warm beverage with my dessert and I couldn't imagine doing it in there. We opted to eat in our car Service was friendly and patient. We arrived on a Saturday around 1130 am and their was plenty of items available Can't wait to come back
