Monstrous chicken salad sandwich
Michele F.

I decided to stop in for a late lunch today. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich on multigrain bread. Boy, was this a hearty sandwich! It was so thick that it was a challenge getting my mouth around it! The sandwich had avocado spread, lettuce, tomatoes and onions on it. The flavor was really good, but the consistency of the chicken salad left a little to be desired. It was kind of liquidy, so chunks squirted out of the sandwich each time you took a bite, making it a bit messy to eat. After using quite a few napkins, I decided to console myself with a yummy chocolate almond croissant. As it was almost closing time, they gave me both of the croissants that were on display, which was so nice. I'd definitely recommend stopping in and checking out their delicious looking pastries, breads and sandwiches.

Cookie Butter Latte

I'm assuming the negativity is coming from the fact that we all loved and miss Atwater at this location so I tried to go into this with an open mind. I do wish they would have done more than change the chairs and paint the wall, even the wording on the windows look the same lol! The new chairs makes the space feel a little cramped so it's not as nice to sit and work but it will do. I often pop in for a latte and a snack the same way I treated the space before, though now it's a bit more expensive. Coffee wise I like the roast they use so I have no complaints and their bakery is top tier so grabbing a donut or pastry will never be a complaint! The staff has always been nice enough but I'm also not expecting much more than a transaction.

Kneads is the biggest disappointment in the chain of bakeries in Balitmore. The first location in harbor East is st least pretty; this new one is in the home of the Atwater and I LOVE Atwater so it's hard to compete. They really only updated the signage, but everything else has remained the same. I will say the bagel here is pretty fairly priced. I think I paid $2.50 which is kind of cheap. And it was fine, nothing special. Now the donut on the other hand, which is the main reason we came -- the donut was at the same time sour and yeasty for a regular glazed donut. I don't get it. It tasted old and bad. The coffee was average. And because it's new, there were a ton of people on a Saturday. I will say the staff was really really kind. I wanted to fill up my water bottle, but it wouldn't fit so the barista made me a to go cup of water. The store still feels very much like hot water. It's a smaller intimate space with a lot of counters. There is one bathroom so be prepared to wait if it's busy.

Egg & Cheese & Bacon Croissant
Psalms R.

Finally made my way to Kneads! Straightforward coffee shop vibes - but if you're looking for a place to work remotely, there's only 2-3 outlets inside, however they do have open WiFi to use. I ordered a seasonal banana bread latte for $6 which was perfect - not too sweet and not artificial tasting the way I've experienced other banana flavorings. I also had a bacon egg cheese croissant. The croissant itself was heavenly, bacon is on the crunchier side, and egg is scrambled and fluffy if that's your preference. My down side is that the sandwich came plain, no sauce or veggies like sprouts or tomatoes also I didn't ask to add it since the sandwich itself was already $15! I added ketchup and mayo from packets they had available. Ordering is at the counter and they'll bring out the food to your table if you're dining in.

Blueberry Coconut Cold Brew

Kneads is top notch! The bakery items are so good (especially the creme brûlée doughnut) the blueberry coconut cold brew is so amazing! Highly recommend it on a nice summer day!

Friendly service, great selection of music. The pastry's are just a work of art. Definitely wanted to take it all home but the sweets have been my kryptonite!! I will have to come in again!

Vanilla latte and ham and cheese bechamel croissant
Carrie C.

Great food, drinks, and ambiance, but customer service falls short. I'm a regular and often order a "for here latte in a mug," yet frequently receive a to-go cup while others get mugs. When I ask for it to be corrected, the response often feels annoyed and unwelcoming. Including today. Overall, the atmosphere from staff feels tense on the majority of interactions, which is off-putting. With a bit more warmth and customer service, this place could easily be a 5/5--especially during the holiday season.

Latte

As a person that has visited the location downtown, I must say, I like the other menu and inside dining a little better. At the canton location, you stand in line, make your order and seat yourself. It's more like a regular coffee shop that sells pastries and breakfast. I had the steak and egg bagel. It was pretty cool and my coffee was decent too. The parking situation was great as it's right inside of a big shopping center. I would eat here again but likely at the other likely at the other location. The menus are different and I prefer more options.

Kneads is conveniently located in the Canton Crossing shopping center along Boston Street, with an abundance of free parking. Upon entry, you're greeted with the aroma of fresh baked goodies. The line was expectedly long, but moving fast. After perusing the menu, I decided on just two doughnuts to satisfy my sweet tooth - one cinnamon sugar and one maple bacon - accompanied by a chai pistachio latte. Within minutes, my order was ready and I delved into bliss. Doughnuts were soft and fresh; the latte was piping hot. I was not disappointed. Definitely add Kneads to your list if you're in the area.

I'd heard good things about this place, and a new location just opened in Canton Crossing where Atwater's used to be. There's plenty of free parking, and the space was clean and cute. I ordered a caramel latte and a sesame bagel with egg, cheese, and turkey bacon. My order came out within five minutes, but it was disappointing. The bagel lacked flavor, and the sesame aroma was nonexistent. It was soggy and fell apart, making it impossible to pick up and eat. The overall taste was bland. The coffee was hot and looked good, but it wasn't made properly (caramel wasn't mixed in). For $20, this meal wasn't worth it. In hindsight, I should have tried a pastry or something sweet, as those looked much better. I'd recommend saving your money and going to another coffee shop.

Seating

I ordered a chocolate almond croissant and received just an almond croissant, I think you might have to heat it up so it tastes better but the portion was worth the price. I haven't tried the food options yet but pricing seemed expensive. They are fairly new so I think some of the staff is still getting trained. The ambiance is nice but again I think they are still getting the hang of things when it comes to cleaning up after customers. Some of the chairs were scattered and there were crumbs on the seats I sat in. I will try again once they are more settled.

Peppermint chocolate whoopie pie

If you aren't familiar, Kneads is a fantastic bakery here in Baltimore. This is their third location. I've never had a bad pastry here. They also make a number of breakfast and brunch dishes. Seating is a little small here compared to the main location in Inner Harbor, but don't let that stop you. Fantastic, friendly service is what this place is known for. The new location is clearly continuing that trend.

Purchased four baked goods, all were stale, most likely baked 3-4 days ago. Support independent shops, not whatever this chain is.

It's within the Johns Hopkins college campus & a neighborhood, so parking is really horrible. I ended up parking in a non spot and putting my hazards on. It's a cute little, but spacious place located next to an airport building. It's on the corner and has a nice little outside seating area with about 5 tables. Inside is bigger than it looks and has a nice amount of seating as well. Since my time was limited, I didn't really get to explore the menu like I wanted, so I ordered a hazelnut latte and a ham & cheese croissant. Their croissants looked so good, I wanted one of each. They also had several toasts on their menu. I'll have to go back for sure! Th service was regular, you order, they tell you how much you owe and you pay. I got in my car and couldn't wait. My first bite was like a bite into heaven. Every bite was the same way, so delicious & delicate. I wish I had two. The latte was perfect, just the right amount of hazelnut. Kanom Cafe is a must try!

Arrived in the afternoon during a busy weekend and decided to take out for desserts. My first visit and was underwhelmed by the service received. Rushed and transactional. Packaging was very sloppy and my napoleons were shoved to the side, making the clear clamshells very messy when I arrived home. If only the desserts were saving grace, but was left disappointed as well. As others have mentioned, the pastries do not taste fresh. The ricotta cream in the original cannoli tasted warm and gritty, the shell was stale. I noticed these were sitting out. The puff pastry in the Napoleons were soggy. The cream puffs shell was stale and chocolate topping was super sweet, unfortunately these were far from heavenly. Maybe another day, Vaccaro.

The vibe inside was relaxing. We were here for a few hours enjoying our coffee, tea and desserts and it was a nice place to pass the time on a cold, freezing day. The thing that dropped the review was basically the coffee and desserts. The coffee was fine, but just your standard coffee that you'd find at any gas station. The cannoli was overly sweet and the cookies we ordered felt stale. Interestingly, they charge more for sit down desserts vs. takeout. The servers were very sweet to share that we could order takeout and not have to pay the extra fee. Finally, not sure why, but there was not a lot of heating inside the restaurant. We ate with our jackets on, which was fine. But found that to be a little odd. Nobody seemed to know why they couldn't get the heat on. When it's below freezing, it would be nice to escape the chill. Overall, it was a nice stop. My kids loved it. But it was not without some quirks.

I realized that their online ordering was actually quite easy and their pick up hours were a bit more accessible than I remember them being. I ordered my sourdough loaf online a few days in advance for a Thursday pick up. I stopped in around 3pm and the loaf was quickly wrapped up for me. I asked if it could be sliced like the white bread loaf can but I was informed that the classic sourdough loaf is too large to fit in the slicer. I also love the fact that they offer a pay what you can program and a pay it forward option. And judging by their fundraising for important causes, this is a business I will continue to support. For $7, I thought it was a great deal for such a large and beautiful loaf. It froze and reheated very well too so none of it went bad. I wish I could try more of the menu but I should probably play it safe. If you're gluten intolerant and tend to be able to tolerate sourdough, I definitely recommend giving their classic loaf a try.
