Reviews for Kneaders Bakery & Cafe in Oro Valley, AZ
Really want to love this place since its so close and we love bakery fresh bread, but just not impressed with the quality. I'm... no baker so I can't say what's off exactly, but very doughy and just missing something. The baguette is nothing like a goodfrench baguette from other bakeries for example. We end up preferring grocery store bakery bread. Maybe we were spoiledelsewhere. Read 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.... Read more
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 wasextremely good; and a BLT on a 12 grain, which was especially yummy! Two soups were also ordered, a creamy tomato - which gotrave reviews, and a corn chowder which was creamy with chunks of potatos and corn. Delish! A fruit salad and fruit smoothie werealso part of our menu. Both rated, great, I will order this again!! Along with all this great food, the salads themselves wereokay. The main complaint was that the round container that the salads come in are too small! It was very difficult to eat saladout of a small container, especially when the salad comes in long strips like the Romaine lettuce does. It would be much easierto eat if either the salad was chopped into smaller pieces or if the bowls were larger. Just saying.???? All-in-all our eatingexperience at Kneaders was very enjoyable! The food was scrumptious and came in a timely manner! Everyone in my party woulddefinitely go back to Kneaders! Thank you Kneaders for making our lunch time experience one to remember! ???? PS/ I picked up azucchini pecan bread to take home as a treat for the family. If you like like zucchini, pecans, and raisins, this bread is foryou! Loved it, Kneaders. "knead" I say more? ????

It's really cute inside and the food is very tasty. The woman who took our order was very nice and helpful. It was a little... pricy, but the servings were a very good size and the quality was high. I had the turkey and artichoke panini, and it was realroast turkey breast instead of deli meat turkey. Read more
It was my first visit. I ordered the chicken salad on a croissant, lobster bisque and an iced mocha. No breakfast yet that day,... so yeah I needed a big lunch! Chicken salad sandwich was very good but a bit small for $10. Croissant was excellent and had theright chew and exterior crisp to it. Lobster bisque was surprisingly great for a takeout. Not the best I've had, but not toofar off the top of the list. Easily as good as many lobster bisque I've had at legit seafood restaurants. Ironically, the leastenjoyable part of the meal was the focaccio bread that came with the soup. It was dry and tasteless. Definitely not freshly madeon that day. The green salad was fresh with a good vinaigrette dressing that had a solid acidic bite to it and somesweetness. The iced mocha was good. Not as good as Starbucks or Dutch Brothers, but good enough. A bit pricey for what you getbut overall it's a notch above your average "good" fast food place. I'll definitely be back the next time that I'm in theneighborhood. Read more
Full Karen here: I paid for gift wrap on a loaf of bread and it came in a clear plastic bag (if that is gift wrap then maybe... they just chuck the unwrapped loaf at you if you don't pay the $2.50). The salad I ordered had .7 oz of turkey on it (yes, Iweighed it). A $13 salad. 0.7oz of turkey. Read more
Other than the one time where I showed up 30 minutes before closing and knocked on all the doors, which were locked early, and... stood outside like an idiot until I decided to bang on the drive thru window to get the attention of the older, bigger, darkhaired woman who was clearly inside on the phone with her friend and who seemed very annoyed by my presence and my questioningof why the store was locked up so early, its been good. The important thing is that their bread pudding is an addiction of mine.Warm it up and then put on the icing. Trust me. Read more
