This is a cute little neighborhood shop. I’ve gone multiple times and haven’t been disappointed at all. The cookies are AMAZING! I got a bunch to share with my friends and everybody was commenting on how great the cookies were. They were fresh and perfectly baked. The gals at the front are sweet too. I’ll be back for sure.

Really disappointed, went to the store early on a Saturday morning on a quest for good bread. Not a soul was in there, there were maybe 5 things in the case, nothing that looked appetizing. There were about 6 cookie jars, each had a couple cookies and looked like they’d been there awhile. Ordered a loaf of brioche and sourdough… no sourdough!!!

I work down the street and me and coworkers have come here a few times for random pastries when we get a craving. It’s a quaint little spot but the goodies are always pretty yummy. They have iced coffee too and that’s always a plus! And they usually have their day old goods for half price.

Had a coffee with a maple bacon muffin. Yummy!
Also got my free cookie at check in, which was delicious and soft. It’s unfortunate that I don’t live in the area. Melissa is so kind and really cares about her customers.

This bakery is so cute! The shop is warm and Melissa is so welcoming! It is a great place to meet friends for coffee and pastries and hang out!
We tried a few different muffins, the challah (wow! soo moist and delicious), and a turkey sandwich. Everything was tasty and fresh! I have to say, the challah was one of the best I had ever had… and, I have tried a lot of different challah!
I plan on ordering cakes and cupcakes for my son’s upcoming birthday party and I will definitely stop by for treats next time I am near Brea!

I went last week for first and last time, the brownie was dry and tasted old, no favor. I will make brownie mix from Costco, so much better!!! The other item tasted even older!!! And some one really needs to learn how to frost a cake. again old… but not as old as the other two items my apologies but I suggest she tries eating a brownie, about the worst I have ever had… threw away all items after tasting. No wonder I was the only one in there… back to the cake shop up the street. Sorry but again this review might make her think about what she is baking and try it before putting on the self to sell. good sells better sells but dry and old drives customers away.
Old and dry will never never keep customers, but then reading the reviews from a year ago there is another person who had old and dry too and here a year later she is still selling old and dry. LOL she can keep it for another non suspecting customer.
Chef HMMMM LOL
leaving a taste of baking soda or a bitter taste after eating the baked items, HORRIBLE
What a waste of my money! Glad I only bought three small items!

Love this place. By far the best coffee and pastries I’ve had in Orange County! The owner is super sweet too. I would highly recommend iKneadLove.

Beautiful space. Their latte is really good. The lady was very courteous. Nutella cookie was underwhelming.

This is a great little place. Melissa is the owner. Her cookies are wonderful, the bacon quiche as well as the spinach quiche is very good. She makes all her breads from scratch. The rye bread is good — has a nice flavor.
I hired her to make lots of tea sandwiches and several quiche tartlets for a party we had recently. People loved her food. Her prices are very reasonable, food is tasty and good quality. I highly recommend the chicken salad and egg salad she makes — it is delicious.

Looking for a new coffee shop other than Starbucks. Found this place on Unilocal.My hazelnut iced latter was great. Owner was friendly and pleasant. She also has alot of yummy sweet treats.

This place is SUPER cute!
My girl friend and I went here based off Unilocal reviews. We both really like the quaint and quirky furniture.
I tried the lemon lavender scone with almonds. It was yummy!
I also got the iced blue flower earl grey tea. If you want it sweetened, I think you should ask her to sweeten it. I like honey in mine and it did not melt.
I really want to try the cinnamon rol

Super friendly, fast, great atmosphere, low prices, easy parking, and pastries to DIE for. What more could you want?

I love trying new bakeries! I Knead Love doesn’t disappoint. Cute place and friendly owner. She had me at oatmeal walnut chocolate chip cookie :) how did she know me so well! it was perfectly baked and packed with chocolate chunks and walnuts. I really enjoyed the slice of toasted brioche with a berry compote, I think, with sliced almond and strudel on top. It was wow! I will be back for more :)

I ordered a cake 24 hours before my party and they definitely accommodated and exceeded my expectations! It looked great and tasted delicious! Try the red velvet it is super yummy! Thanks Melissa for all your help!

Looooove this place. Best tuna fish sandwiches. The owner knows I have nut allergy and is very attentive. I don’t have a sweet tooth and I love their cupcakes. Already looking forward to stopping by next week.

I love this place Melissa is the best I stop here in the morning’s before work. I recommend the orange cinnamon roll

iKneadLove is a cute name and the chef/​owner Melissa a great woman.
Very nice, helpful and hard working.
The space is pretty big and feels like just that, a big, empty space in a pretty empty, quiet, big large strip mall.
Easy parking a plenty out front.
The store is pretty dark and sparse, a few chairs, one dessert case, coffee counter and cooler for drinks.
Half the size or a bit of décor would go a long way here.
Either way, I did enjoy being able to see the bakery part in the back, nothing to hide here, made right there, I like that.
The selection was small, two rows of pastries, the lower one being half off day olds.
Being a sucker for a deal, I went with one of everything on the bottom, 4 items for just over $ 5, a great deal.
Unfortunately, it tasted more like two days old, nothing wowed or was worthy of coming back for.
The best would have to be the blueberry bundt, it is the only thing that had a bit of moisture left to it.
Th croissant dough was more like noodle dough, I have never tasted anything like it, I think it was supposed to have Rhubarb in it, no idea, the filling was pretty much non existent.
The almond and jam brioche horribly hard and dry, really not ideal for the next day.
The cinnamon roll not just hard, just I also did not enjoy the orange flavor.
The pastries were really more two stars, but an additional is given for the owner and my lack of wanting to spend full price, maybe everything is great when it is fresh or I just chose the wrong items, either way I wish her well and hope she thrives in this area, we really all should support local businesses like this!

The taste in the breads and cookies are far fresher and better than anything you can get at a chain restaurant or chain bakery. The prices are amazing for what you get as well.

I ordered a cake for my husband’s 29^th birthday and it was great! Everyone said it was moist and delicious. They were able to decorate it with my husband’s favorite sports team, LA Lakers! I’ll definitely order from here again!

iKneadLove– What a clever name for a business and a perfect venue to showcase one’s passion for baking! Love the play on words and the tasty treats too!
Upon entering the bakery I knew that this would have been the perfect spot to hang out between college classes. Nice comfy chairs and Disney music playing in the background, CSU Fullerton and Chapman students you guys are pretty lucky to have this spot so close to school! I for one could picture myself with a book in one hand and a scone in the other. The dried cranberry scone is my favorite. It’s not only in a playful shape of a heart but it also has just the perfect amount of sweetness to a light afternoon snack.
The lemon bar here is also extremely delicious. One of the most popular items here and with a tag-​line like this: fresh-​baked treats made from the heart– the home-​made taste really shines. Chef Melissa also prides herself in her breads and I look forward to swinging by on a Saturday for a fresh loaf of Brioche bread. On a random note, if you observe Jewish customs or just enjoy eating challah Chef Melissa also makes it fresh every Friday!
Lastly, for all the Unilocalers out there, be sure to «check-​in» so you can get your free goodie bag and tell Chef Melissa that I sent ya there! I mean who doesn’t love samples and we all «knead love» :D
