If you love tastey doughnuts, delightful service, and a special treat, this is the place for you! Nestled in a neighborhood community, Knead Doughnuts offers a modern ambience with a personal feel. There's currently wifi, comfortable seating, and it boasts an outdoor patio to be coming soon. The shop is appointed so beautifully, even the bathroom emotes relaxtion! The doughnut selections are delectable! I enjoyed a blueberry rhubarb fritter, and sampled my daughter's brown butter pecan doughnut and my husband's blackberry crumble. I have never seen these taste combinations anywhere before! They were delicious! The blueberry rhubarb was not too sweet or too tart. The dough too was not overly sweet either, making it delightful to savor instead of a guilt-ridden indulgence. The staff were timely, friendly, polite, and kind! The shop also offers some croissants, muffins, and flourless doughnuts. My sole complaint was the cost, and it doesn't affect my rating because it may be on par with other dessert shops in New England and elsewhere. For me, I still personally have a hard time paying $4.00 or more for a single doughnut. But I realize, it may be worth it for the higher quality of the treat and the ambiance.

Now this is a place to get donuts and coffee! My son was told by many that this place beats all others so he had to get my opinion too. If I lived in the area this would be my place of choice. The coffee was hot and delicious but the jelly donut I got was far superior than any other jelly donut on the planet. The jelly is actual jelly and not that cheap sugar gunk from a jar. I don't recall what my son got bur he also enjoyed his. The persons behind the counter were also a cut above the rest. So pleasant and happy you came in, so glad to help, so nice to see. The building it's housed in is a bit out of the way but easy to find. The architecture simply beautiful. You haven't experienced coffee in a comfortable friendly like this so, hurry on over and get the enjoyment I did. They also sell their coffee so pick up a package while there.

Picked up half a dozen on Mother's Day. They brightened up a rainy day. The doughnuts (both yeast and cake) were all very fresh. The old saw is that if you really want to know if a kitchen's restuarant knows what it is doing order a roast chicken. It's simple but not easy and there is no way to hide if you can't do it right. You could say the same thing for a baked good. I've eaten a couple of the rival places around Providence and I appreciate both Knead's quality and freshness, as well as their craft. Some rivals go a bit too far afield with their creative flavors at the expense of the doughnut. Knead can get creative on occasion but they also make a really good old fashioned vanilla glazed or a deep chocolaty cake doughnut. In short, they know what they are doing and it's delicious.

This is a really cute doughnut shop with a nice variety of fresh high quality donuts. We came on a Saturday morning and it wasn’t too busy and they had a great selection of donuts and pastries to choose from. The service was great too. We got a brown butter pecan donut and a mocha old fashioned donut. The brown butter pecan donut was one of the best donuts I’ve ever had. It was so big and fluffy and had so many little pecan pieces coating it. The mocha old fashioned was good too but the texture wasn’t quite as good and I didn’t taste much coffee flavor. This is a great a great spot with delicious donuts! We’ll be back for sure and will recommend it to friends!

Nice location, good 'nuts, and a great asset to this neighbourhood. However, the local yummy mummy brigade treats this place like a creche where their toddlers are allowed to run wild, screaming, and giving all other customers a headache. There is actually a sweet little play area in the back and a small sign asking parents to be respectful of other customers, but these parents refuse to do it. I keep trying this place but inevitably end up leaving due to impending anxiety attacks brought on by the madness. This place should be a lot busier, but these parents are ruining this business.
