Kneaders Bakery & Cafe

Great little bakery. Food was delicious and great well thought out design on the inside. Lots of cute things to purchase. Soup and sandwich was great. They have a whole case of sweets including chocolate covered strawberries that looked amazing.

The staff is Soo helpful, fun, and knowledgeable, I felt very welcomed and the positive rapport they built is amazing. Its a very positive working enviorment but awesome bread is not the only thing here, gifts for the seasons are available, it has a small version crackerbarrel gift shop look.
The Blueberry lemon muffin was my choice and I loved it and will be back to try more, the lunch menu is a bit oricy for a sa dwhich but I will try it soon. This trip was for pastries only but more trips to come.

Tried Kneaders tonight for first time. It was almost 8 pm so we missed the parking problems others have had. Liked the décor and menu. 3 of us had sandwich combos and wife had a salad. Minor issue: the menu boards for soups are a little confusing and seem to have been an afterthought. My son thought he was getting a Loaded Potato, not potato soup. The salad was largely lettuce and not much else. No cheese at all etc. More seriously one of the workers started cleaning the windows with blue Windex. Even from 12 feet away the ammonia smell was terrible. I had to speak to her and probably shocked her. I love a clean place to eat but you gotta find a less smelly way to cleanup while folks are eating. The food is4 stars at least but the added chemicals makes it a 3 overall.

My wife has celiac disease and requires gluten free items. We were very excited to see that a Kneaders was coming to East Arapahoe Rd. in Centennial. When it opened, however, we were sorely disappointed to discover not only do they NOT have anything at all that is gluten free but have no plans to do so in the future. We travel the world and find gluten free breads and pastries in most places we go. Why American food providers are so far behind the rest of the world in this arena is beyond my comprehension.

I eaten here twice and attempted a third time. The first two times it was very crowded and took me about 5 – 10 minutes to obtain parking and leave the parking lot due to its small size. My recent attempt to eat here I drove into the parking lot, made it to the back, realized there was no parking, turned around and waited 15 minutes to leave the lot.
The food isn’t bad but soup and a sandwich aren’t worth the annoying parking lot.

Stopped in for breakfast, hit the drive thru, the lady was extremely pleasant and quick to answer questions on the menu. I opted for veggie panini and cup of chicken soup. Nothing against the breakfast menu, the options are certainly plenty and look really tasty, but I was in the mood for something more savory for whatever reason. Panini was well executed, maybe heavier on the white sauce. I will be back!

Best desserts ever! This place just opened up the street from us and it is trouble! They have tons of delicious bakery options to choose from. I love the apple bread pudding. They also sell loaves of fresh bread (regular and sweet breads) for very affordable. There is even a drive thru for when you get a late night sweet tooth. I haven’t tried their breakfast menu yet but it looks delicious. Great add to the neighborhood!

The is my favorite spot for breakfast! Love the French toast!!! For lunch the soups are all so savory. I love all the baked goods for gifts around the holiday season. The orange rolls and cinnamon rolls are my favorite treats. The mint brownies are divine. The staff are all super friendly. Saturday after 8pm pastries are all 50% off so it’s perfect for date night!

I enjoy having some healthy options for lunch on the area. Their food is good with the bakery and bread tasting incredible! Note the turkey and cranberry sandwich doesn’t really have cranberries, but a sweet sauce that is the only moisture in the sandwich. The bread is so fresh, it helps make the meal less dry. There is little help in the dining room if you need mayo or something isn’t correct with the order. You have to try and flag down someone in the cashier area. And there is no Internet. So I can’t get caught up with my email at lunch or entertain my 3 year old granddaughter with a game. Overall, would love to see some service changes.

Finally had chance to stop by today around 3:00 pm. Lunch rush was done, plenty of parking and only 2 people ahead of me. One was paying, so technically one ahead of me. I see front cash register manned with young lady and another one was chatting with her. Dont know what was going on but they were busy chatting on while the lady front of me was totally lost on where to order. Finally had to group of employees (3) where we suppose to order and older lady acknowledged. The other two still busy talking.
The power of «Yelp» to st8 out any deficiencies.
Lady asks something and it was my turn to be helped by older lady. The other two still busy talking and finally got the hint I was irritated and one of the two started odering bunch of stuff to go. When order was done, the other girl steps away and disappears. Hmmm. How rude!!! At least acknowledge my presence. Nope. none of that. I was ready to «Yell» and totally loose my calm posture and make big scene since I didnt know anyone here… then. the older lady shows up and offered to help. Wheeww. She saved me from being escorted out if the bakery. I herd of people getting escorted out of plane but I didn’t wanted to be 1^st one being escorted out of the bakery by the Arapahoe County sheriff. Now that I got all my frustration out, back to the place. and the food.
Atmosphere: several knotches higher than Panera.
Food: about the same but different options. My banana nut bread bundt cake stood out.
Got small salad with bread, small coffee n the bundt cake for $ 9.15 including tax. Not bad.
There are sever shortage of low paid workers around this area and definitely shows with lackluster performance of these two young ladies (+21) but love to blame everthing on the management for improper training.
Spent one hour enjoying great music (oldies.very old oldies) ok food and comfy seats… looks like shift change has occurred staffed with what appers to be better ones.
I will be stopping by more often to check out if I really like this place.

Very solid bakery. Lots of homemade pastries and bread options and the menu is pretty straight forward. It is a certain upgrade from its competition at Southlands for a sandwich spot but I didn’t find the menu to be anything out of the ordinary.

I realllly wanted to love this place. I’m thinking the bakery case may be the best part. I ordered a french dip and a cream of broccoli soup and neither were good. I would go so far to say it was the worst french dip sandwich I have ever had! There was hardly any meat on the sandwich, just a thin layer of beef. The beef was also not good. Tasted old microwaved deli meat. The broccoli soup was just average nothing special not bad but not good either. So sad because this place is really cute.

Ordered a turkey bacon avocado salad in the drive thru — pretty mediocre. They forgot the onions and the bread that was supposed to come with it. Very little bacon and avocado. Guess they are still working out the bugs since it is brand new. I’ll probably go back to try a sandwich, but so far, I’m not impressed.

I really love walking into a place and being in front of every kind of baked good I could imagine — before I get to the area to order my food. Kneaders has a plan — and it’s a good one. Obviously I was hungry or I wouldn’t have been there so when they hit me with all that baked heaven, of course I wanted to try everything. I ended up only getting the snickerdoodle loaf — which was just as good as it sounds. But I almost broke down and tried each of the amazing brownie flavors that were calling my name.
I also had the combo with a turkey cranberry croissant and a small house salad. They were both good but I was a little disappointed with how little meat/​cheese/​other stuff was on the croissant. It was more like half a sandwich’s worth of filling, spread out over a whole sandwich. The same was true of the french dip my husband had. I don’t need a gigantic meal but for the prices they’re asking, I feel they could have been more generous.
The restaurant was clean and the staff friendly so I will be giving them another shot — maybe breakfast next time.

This is a typical bakery store. Cashier was not smiling at all, very serious. I ordered roast beef, ham, Swiss cheese sandwich and snicker-​doodle bread. Both were typical sandwich and bread which you can get anywhere. I will go back to try again but not right away.

What a fun place! Great atmosphere and great service. The food is delicious and I haven’t tried a dessert/​pastry I didn’t like! If you’re looking for a fun place for lunch with girlfriends, there’s tons of seating. Or, if you’re looking for a cozy date atmosphere, park yourself neat the fireplace. Be sure to try the orange rolls!

We have come here often. We love it every time. Great atmosphere. Incredible food. I love the Southwest BBQ chicken salad, the three cheese Portobello soup, with a mint brownie on the side. All sandwiches made on homemade fresh baked bread, homemade soups, and delicious salads. This restaurant will make you feel like you are eating at home.

Seriously anything you get here is good. Introduced to them by their catering services, and now they are a family regular for us. French Dip, southwest salad, French Toast, any dessert, and especially the Snickerdoodle bread!!!
This location offers service above the norm, and the décor is top notch. Make sure to sign up for the Kneaders rewards program, and start accruing those points!

Tonight we had the pleasure of going to the family and friends pre-​opening event for Kneaders. It exceeded our expectations. Despite the line, the service was excellent and the owner and staff brought around desserts to try. The servings are much larger than competitors and very filling. The dessert selection filled several glass cases. I tried 3 – 4 desserts and enjoyed each one. They also have a ton of fresh baked breads that you can purchase. They have salads, soups, sandwiches and lots of breads, pastries and desserts. They also have many breakfast options. The French toast is my favorite. I had the Turkey Artichoke Panini. The flavor combination was perfect. I will definitely be back often.
