Food was great. However the employee sitting in the dining are wrapping gift baskets was obnoxious. Talking very loudly on her headset that was obviously a personal conversation using very foul language. It was not comfortable at all felt like I was having lunch in a bar.

Went here for the first time with my family and it was wonderful. We had the sub and soup combo and then we all got a desert. The cheese cake was delightful and the staff was great. We ate inside and hope to return when we are back in Tucson in the spring time.

Parking: Plenty of parking.

Other than the one time where I showed up 30 minutes before closing and knocked on all the doors, which were locked early, and stood outside like an idiot until I decided to bang on the drive thru window to get the attention of the older, bigger, dark haired woman who was clearly inside on the phone with her friend and who seemed very annoyed by my presence and my questioning of why the store was locked up so early, its been good. The important thing is that their bread pudding is an addiction of mine. Warm it up and then put on the icing. Trust me.

Parking: Omg, there's parking for all. Relax.

Really want to love this place since its so close and we love bakery fresh bread, but just not impressed with the quality. I'm no baker so I can't say what's off exactly, but very doughy and just missing something. The baguette is nothing like a good french baguette from other bakeries for example. We end up preferring grocery store bakery bread. Maybe we were spoiled elsewhere.

You will find the most delicious food and beverage at Kneaders Bakery & Cafe. Everything is made on site including a variety of breads and desserts. Try the Classic Turkey half or whole sandwich on any of Kneaders' home made breads, Enjoy!

You want to eat the store all at once, it smells so good when you walk in and the place is nice and well kept. The food is awesome and the bread is like what grandma used to make. A place try for sure....

There were four of us in my party. All of us enjoyed our meal and each gave an enthusiastic thumbs up to eating at Kneaders!Three sandwiches were ordered, a turkey cranberry, which was awesome; a chicken salad on a croissant, which was extremely good; and a BLT on a 12 grain, which was especially yummy!Two soups were also ordered, a creamy tomato - which got rave reviews, and a corn chowder which was creamy with chunks of potatos and corn. Delish!A fruit salad and fruit smoothie were also part of our menu. Both rated, great, I will order this again!!Along with all this great food, the salads themselves were okay. The main complaint was that the round container that the salads come in are too small! It was very difficult to eat salad out of a small container, especially when the salad comes in long strips like the Romaine lettuce does. It would be much easier to eat if either the salad was chopped into smaller pieces or if the bowls were larger. Just saying.?All-in-all our eating experience at Kneaders was very enjoyable! The food was scrumptious and came in a timely manner!Everyone in my party would definitely go back to Kneaders! Thank you Kneaders for making our lunch time experience one to remember! ?PS/ I picked up a zucchini pecan bread to take home as a treat for the family. If you like like zucchini, pecans, and raisins, this bread is for you! Loved it, Kneaders."knead" I say more? ?

It's really cute inside and the food is very tasty. The woman who took our order was very nice and helpful. It was a little pricy, but the servings were a very good size and the quality was high. I had the turkey and artichoke panini, and it was real roast turkey breast instead of deli meat turkey.

I’m sorry and I never review negatively but her to pay top dollar so her it goez. VERY Slow service. BOTH woman who work there are slow and cannot walk to the food counters and smoothie maker without delay.

My girlfriend called me and said she trying this place do I want some thing to bring home .i said I'll try the French dip. THEY didn't have the bread they usually use they used some soggy sour dough bread worst french dip on the planet 90 % bread. Her sandwich was chicken salad croissant only had a tea spoon of chicken. $22 for some bread .never never again.

Clean, great front staff. My turkey avacado sandwich on foccacia... The foccacia was very light on rosemary and a little doughy... Definately not their usual quality and goodness on this visit.

It was my first visit. I ordered the chicken salad on a croissant, lobster bisque and an iced mocha. No breakfast yet that day, so yeah I needed a big lunch!Chicken salad sandwich was very good but a bit small for $10. Croissant was excellent and had the right chew and exterior crisp to it.Lobster bisque was surprisingly great for a takeout. Not the best I've had, but not too far off the top of the list. Easily as good as many lobster bisque I've had at legit seafood restaurants.Ironically, the least enjoyable part of the meal was the focaccio bread that came with the soup. It was dry and tasteless. Definitely not freshly made on that day.The green salad was fresh with a good vinaigrette dressing that had a solid acidic bite to it and some sweetness.The iced mocha was good. Not as good as Starbucks or Dutch Brothers, but good enough.A bit pricey for what you get but overall it's a notch above your average "good" fast food place.I'll definitely be back the next time that I'm in the neighborhood.

Great gem of a spot with fresh breads, pastries, soups, etc. Eat in or on the patio and even has a drive thru! Lovely setting and good value.

I met with a friend to just hang out and talk and have coffee...but who can resist the wonderful bakery items?!?! It's a friendly, relaxing place with a great view of the mountains...and great food!
