Kneaders Bakery & Cafe — Restaurant in San Antonio

This was our first visit & based on reviews we were excited to try it. The place appeared clean and decor was simple. The young lady at the counter was new and had to ask her fellow employees for help working the register (no big deal waiting bc everyone has to learn). My issue here was instead of walking her through the order and process the young man she asked for help just showed her the button and walked away. He should have stayed w her but didn’t. She had to ask another employee for help on the second item (again not her fault). Training opportunity missed!! I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and let’s just say it had more chives than chicken. It was like they threw a bunch of chives in it and didn’t stir it up. I didn’t want to take it back bc I’m always afraid of what can be done to it (not saying they would do anything here). After I scraped as much of the chives out and gathered the chicken I could from other side I ate half of it and by the time I got home I was sick to my stomach. I don’t know if the salad was bad or my system just didn’t like a chive sandwich. My spouse ordered the cheese sandwich (added ham to it) and thought it was delicious. My point of leaving the review is so the owners can revisit the training opportunities & maybe also revisit food handling & storage. Their chicken salad was the only thing I ate and I was ill within less than an hour of consuming. I’m not saying don’t visit this restaurant I am just saying if u don’t like a bunch of chives in ur chicken salad & the possibility of an upset stomach don’t order the chicken salad. I will say the bread and desserts looked good but we didn’t order...

3/20/23 Honestly, I enjoyed the sandwich, but at $12, it seemed a bit pricey for just a sandwich alone. It tasted fare but seemed easily like something i could've made at home. I am was curious about the other sandwiches but didn't feel like it was something I wanted to rush back to immediately to revisit. But if you're on the go without a meal and want to avoid fast food, it seems like a good choice rather than. If you have the means and not the time, why not.

Update 5/1/23: I dropped by again late this afternoon and tried the Turkey Bacon Alvocado Sandwich. It tasted soo good. Also tried the Chocolate Dome for dessert. It was a nice moment for the day because I had a little down time before my next job at work. So I took my food outside and just kicked back and enjoyed the moment to myself. I look forward to trying another sandwich soon when I'm in the area again. I forgot to thank the cashier for helping me with the app. I haven't used it before, and she took the time to show me how to redeem the dessert I received for signing up.

7/17/23 the price still hurts my feelings, but the Club Sandwich tasted great, worth the price.

12/4/23 I tried the Turkey Alvocado and Bacon sandwich. It wasn't bad, i liked the focaccia bread a lot, but I wasn't excited about the light amount of turkey, and the bread was a bit tough. But the following day, I tried again and purchased the Chicken, Cheese, and Ham Sandwich w Parmesan Chips, and although it was less than the previous sandwich, it was much better. The only thing is, again, the...

I heard about them through a FB page called SanAntonio Restaurants … I was way outside of my hood so I looked up cinnamon rolls and found Kneaders was about one mile away. It’s 0830 I had to get blood work done so I’m starving - they have a great easy to access drive through with the friendliest man taking my order- he was sunshine coming through the speaker! I ordered 2 cinnamon rolls and a ham, egg & cheese croissant- oh and a 16 Oz red eye, vanilla latte! I’m telling you - the cinnamon rolls was really delish! So first the flight was soft and buttery but not like a croissant but like you dream of in for your cinnamon roll- then the cinnamon was spread evenly throughout the roll not clumpy blobs of mess - I luv it when I get to the end of my roll and find out it was just as gorgeous and the middle❤️ the icing is perfect - not too sweet and not sloped all over the roll but just the right amount so I got a bit in every bite! It was magical❤️❤️❤️💃🏼 The latte was smooth and creamy so perfect! And the croissant breakfast sandwich was out of this world. REAL EGGS and cheese cooked exactly as they should be and a beautiful light and fluffy croissant full of all the beautiful, buttery goodness! They almost didn’t make it home! Def worth a try and just FYI, sometime this month- OCT- they are having a “Taste of Kneaders” event and it’s only 10$! Definitely a must! I can’t wait to taste their other items if these were an indication of what they offer❤️❤️❤️EXCELLENT! (The croissant didn’t make the photo shoot- I...
