I hadn’t been here in a while, but unfortunately it’s not as good as it used to be. Seems like they did a big remodel and got rid of the kitchen play area for kids and reduced the seating space. Cleanliness and pricing wasn’t great either, but the donuts are delicious. Just disappointing that it feels like they want you to buy their food and go rather than making it a destination.

Purchase a dozen of doughnuts. I had high expectations per the previous reviews and price paid. Unfortunately it wasnt worth it and wont be returning.

The donuts are pretty dry. All of the flavor is in the toppings.

Great donuts, make sure to check seasonal options. The new breakfast sandwich is great too. Very friendly service. You can order ahead online if you are in a hurry.

Our coffee was burnt, we ended up dumping it out. Donuts were ok. The environment was friendly! Cost too high!

Came here looking for a good apple fritter and the apple fritter was good not the best it could be but still yummy. The vanilla glaze is a good choice as well but I hated the chocolate frosted. The donut was dry, the frosting seemed store bought and the sprinkles were not enjoyable. I also got a cinnamon roll donut and it look so promising but there was not cinnamon throughout it was just a plain donut with cinnamon glaze. It was also a bit pricy $6/donut is a bit steep considering the quality.

Amazingly this place is never crowded on weekday mornings making it an excellent meeting or study spot. The cinnamon buns are unparalleled in my opinion, flakey, buttery with just the right amount of sweetness. No espresso drinks, but their coffee is solid.

I came in skeptical, and unfortunately, the donuts didn’t win me over. The chocolate frosted with sprinkles and vanilla glazed tasted basic - definitely not worth the premium price. The pecan was the best of the bunch, but overall, it felt overhyped. I’m a PV Donut guy.

Knead to try harder…mediocre donuts at epicurean prices. Purchased two donuts, an expired milk and a water for $15. Donuts were day olds…despite being there an hour after opening. Good flavor (blueberry lemon and strawberry shortcake) but super dry to the point we didn’t finish. They were nice an about the expired milk and then checked the whole case, but were nonverbal during the purchase. Clearly not morning people.

One of the best donuts! I was not a donut person until Knead's, and now im addicted.
Edit:
I went back today 7/8/2025 after a few years. I am not sure what happened? The donuts were dry and hard. The chocolate frosted donuts were not like I remembered, it's now dry and crumbly vs smooth and velvety? The dough is also dry. Not worth the money or calories anymore.
