Kneaders Bakery Cafe - Tucson

This restaurant did not meet my expectations. I paid extra for gift wrapping on a loaf of bread, only to receive it in a clear plastic bag. The salad I ordered for $13 only had 0.7 oz of turkey on it. It was disappointing.

This was my first time visiting the restaurant. I ordered the chicken salad on a croissant, lobster bisque, and an iced mocha. I hadn't eaten breakfast yet that day, so I was looking forward to a big lunch. The chicken salad sandwich was tasty, but a bit small for the price of $10. The croissant was excellent, with the perfect chew and crispy exterior. The lobster bisque was surprisingly delicious for takeout. While not the best I've ever had, it was comparable to many seafood restaurants I've been to. Unfortunately, the focaccia bread that came with the soup was dry and flavorless, clearly not freshly made that day. The green salad was fresh and the vinaigrette dressing had a nice balance of acidity and sweetness. The iced mocha was good, though not as good as Starbucks or Dutch Brothers. The prices were a bit high for the portion sizes, but overall the restaurant is a step above your average fast food joint. I will definitely return next time I'm in the area.

The interior of the restaurant is charming and the food is delicious. The server who took our order was very friendly and accommodating. Although it was a bit expensive, the portion sizes were generous and the quality was excellent. I ordered the turkey and artichoke panini, and was pleased to find that it was made with real roast turkey breast rather than deli meat.

There were four of us in my party. All of us enjoyed our meal and each gave an enthusiastic thumbs up to eating at Kneaders! Three sandwiches were ordered, a turkey cranberry, which was awesome; a chicken salad on a croissant, which was extremely good; and a BLT on a 12 grain, which was especially yummy! Two soups were also ordered, a creamy tomato which got rave reviews, and a corn chowder which was creamy with chunks of potatos and corn. Delish! A fruit salad and fruit smoothie were also part of our menu. Both rated, great, I will order this again!! Along with all this great food, the salads themselves were okay. The main complaint was that the round container that the salads come in are too small! It was very difficult to eat salad out of a small container, especially when the salad comes in long strips like the Romaine lettuce does. It would be much easier to eat if either the salad was chopped into smaller pieces or if the bowls were larger. Just saying.???? All in all our eating experience at Kneaders was very enjoyable! The food was scrumptious and came in a timely manner! Everyone in my party would definitely go back to Kneaders! Thank you Kneaders for making our lunch time experience one to remember! ???? PS/ I picked up a zucchini pecan bread to take home as a treat for the family. If you like like zucchini, pecans, and raisins, this bread is for you! Loved it, Kneaders. knead I say more? ????

You want to eat the store all at once, it smells so good when you walk in and the place is nice and well kept. The food is awesome and the bread is like what grandma used to make. A place try for sure....
