About Kneaders Bakery and Cafe

Kneaders Bakery and Cafe is a dessert destination with a lovely vibe and a great selection of treats, especially cozy pastries like everything pumpkin during the Holiday Season. It is also known for serving the best French toast in America, which is homemade, fresh, fluffy, and unlimited. Many consider it the best breakfast place, blowing others out of the water. The best sandwiches around are also found here, and the food overall is consistently described as great.

However, the service often leaves something to be desired. It has been extremely slow during visits, even when the restaurant is empty. The experience can feel inefficient and not customer-centric, with unclear signage for online order pickup leading to confusion. While some staff members are noted as sweet, kind, and friendly, the overall feeling can be that the restaurant lacks care and clear communication for its customers.

A recurring issue is that the restaurant frequently runs out of popular food items, like the cheddar broccoli soup, fairly early in the evening. While this indicates they make everything fresh each day, it is disappointing for diners. Portion consistency can also vary, with some sandwiches having less meat than usual. Despite these service and availability challenges, the food quality keeps customers returning.
