Ive been here 30+ times, for breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee... its amazing. They do all these things, and they do them beautifully. Here you fill find coffee that is as good or better than Starbucks (Illy Gran Filtro, one of my favorite coffees), PLUS pastries, breads, sandwiches and soups that are prepared fresh on-site daily. The prices are very reasonable, and the quality is just excellent. The management and people working here are super friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell they love what they do. They also have a drive-through, but Ive never driven through, as I like the ambiance. It is decorated with hardwood chairs and booths, a stone fireplace, and granite tables. Yes, granite tables! They also cater, deliver, and have great specials. It is great to sit, relax and catch up on work or reading. This is perhaps the best kept secret in Scottsdale. Come give it a try; I hope you love it as much as we do.

I eat at this Scottsdale location frequently, the quality of food is fantastic! Prices are easy on the budget and the service is even more exceptional than the food and prices! I must give kudos to Scott, the Mgr/Sup and Tracey, without exceptional people such as these two the food would not keep me coming back. The amazing quality of food and exceptional staff make Kneaders a must for breakfast or lunch! I have eaten at other Kneaders in the Valley and this store is the best! Keep up the great job Scott and Tracey! Kneaders is fortunate to have the quality of staff in these two individuals! 30 + years in retail mgmt allows me to appreciate their commitment to quality service for their guests! Keep up the good work Kneaders of Scottsdale! CWO.

The food was okay for the price, and the service was good in general, except for the manager, Scott, who seemed to find simple questions like, "Is it too late to make a minor modification to my order?" an unbearable nuisance. Just say, "Sorry, its too late." Dont begrudgingly agree and then say thinks like, "You win. We lose." And then when I order desserts to go, you dont have to throw the boxes onto the counter... I dont remember ordering passive aggression. TL;DR: Food was about what youd expect for a $9 sandwich, but the manager could use less salt.

In Summer 2015 I had the pleasure of attending and AZ bloggers Meetup at Kneaders where we were given a behind-the-scenes tour and tasting. Kneader staff members showed us where they bake their bread daily, as well as roast turkeys in house daily, and then allowed us to sample their salads, sandwiches, and desserts. The staff was beyond accommodating for our group, and having now frequented at least 3 other Kneaders locations for personal dining I have to say Kneaders is dedicated to high quality fresh food and super quick and friendly service.

Beautiful, well-maintained and has a great feel to it. The prices ARE great for the amount and quality of the food. The only issue I had was there is no Wi-Fi or electrical outlets. This is very much a seat-yourself restaurant, which normally should accommodate longer seat times which usually entail work-productive customers. Its not hosted and waited, which usually has short-term customers who are only there for the culinary experience and service. Confusing as to why any place these days doesnt have Wi-Fi

I like the concept of this eatery. You make you order pay & they bring it to you. A good place when you dont have 1- 3 hours for a sit down dinner. I have stopped in 3 times for coffee at this location & hate to say they need to get their act together. Two of the three times my initial cup of coffee was lukewarm & had to ask for coffee out of a different carafe. The first time this happened I suggested that the insulated carafe must be faulty but it is obvious they are still trying to use it.

This is probably my most favorited place to get food. It puts Paradice Bakery to shame... Their bakery is really a bakery with all different kinds of desserts and breads to choose from! When I come for lunch, I get their Turkey Bacon Avocado Sandwich. Yes its one of the more expensive things on the menu, but it is SO worth it. You wont leave disappointed. I also suggest giving their German Chocolate Bread Pudding a try. My favorite. <3

Woah. This place is REALLY good. Stopped here on a whim and Im glad I did. Their soups are amazing, especially when paired with a sourdough bowl, their breakfast is to die for, no joke. The prices are crazy good for the quality of the food and the service… every time I have been here I have had an 11/10 experience. They always are awesome here!!! Try it, you will not be disappointed!

I think this place shines as a breakfast joint. Come before 11 with another person and order an omelette to share with a coffee. No waiting staff means no tips. If you are really hungry , get the all you can eat pancakes or French toast. In top of that, there are always free pastries to sample. Very easy for 2 people to eat breakfast for 10 smackaroons.

The food was okay, the grapes in the kids meals for my girls were bad and they didnt have a replacement that was any better. Service was so so. Girl behind the counter seemed like she hated her job or just was not comfortable around people. Over all bad experience, would not recommend to anyone else.

Clean, friendly, delicious. Breakfast is a knockout every time. This bakery has many baked goods to tempt you away from any diet, and a few knick knacks to peruse before you order your treats. I always recommend the fat-sliced chunky cinnamon French toast if youre in before 11 AM.

Good food, slow service. My daughter loves the soup and bread combo here. However, every time i bring her it seems to be really slow service at the counter (for example, it just took about 11 minutes between when we walked in and when we actually got the soup and bread).

It was my first time trying Kneaders and I fell in love with the Chicken Pesto Panini! The staff was quick to make the order just right and were VERY friendly. (Not to mention there is an adorable section of knick-knacks and crafts!) Will definitely be coming back!

This bakery is fantasic! Im hooked!!! The breads are outstanding, my favorite so far is the hazelnut grain bread. Peach tarts....to die for and the breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg and cheese the best Ive ever had. You really must try it!

Bottomless French toast that you cant beat and the turkey bacon avacado will only have you in your first trimester of a food baby. For names I cant decide between Genevieve or Candace

Awesome place. Very good quality food here. Always fresh and great deco products to choose from. Clean great coffee. All you can eat delicious French Toast in the morning.

If you go to Kneaders in the morning, be sure to get their unlimited french toast - by far the best I have ever had in my life. Their sandwiches at lunch are great as well.

Wendy Sellers

Amazing. My 3 kids loved their meals and I had a delicious soup. Price was reasonable, stuff was superb. Well definitely be back!

The French dip was very good, and the German chocolate bread pudding was incredible. I wish there was one in Phoenix proper!
