“Loveeeddd this spot. I was between this spot and Black Rock something like that. But the bagels really pulled me in. The spot was so cute, and the coffee was perfect. Seems like it was the manager/owner there that day. Super hands on and working and smiling. I felt very welcomed and the food was great. I went to pick up my sister and her boyfriend and brought them back. 10/10 ✅“
“I have been visiting this particular Kneader’s location in Queen Creek for a few years now, and it was the first time that I actually had the pleasure to meet the District Manager.While I enjoy the food and atmosphere that is reminiscent of a cozy, warm and welcoming cafe, this review is particularly for Kneader’s District Manager and I can only hope she or the company’s headquarters will read this note, because I was very taken by her authentic, genuine and warm hospitality, paired with her welcoming treatment towards guests.Typically, as a guest / customer, we don’t get to see or interact with upper management.However, it was at the QC location where I got to meet Deanna (please pardon if I misspelled your District Manager’s name), East Valley’s District Manager, I believe?!It was a VERY busy late morning, with the bakery hustling and bustling.Despite the long queue with in-bakery dining and customers from all ages avidly awaiting to place their order for the bakery’s famous French Toast and, despite a few very impatient, grumpy customers, one in particular that caught my attention and unfortunately not in a positive manner, Deanna exceeded any and all hospitality standards, with the sole aim to satisfy the seemingly impossible to please and uncooperative customer, a woman / lady who unfortunately felt she should have priority over all other customers in line.On the latter note, in a world of “Kens & Karens”, be a Deanna! ?Cheers to that!?I stem from years of fine dining restaurant and luxury hotel management myself and am very observant, though do not typically have the urge to leave reviews.In this particular instance however, it is my absolute desire, delight and pleasure to send a big shoutout to your District Manager who managed to single handedly impress me, as she went above and beyond and thus, exceeded her hospitality and people management skills while finally pleasing the guest / customer ahead of me who was truly being impossible, all the while being deeply condescending to the team members and even to Deanna herself.Kudos to Deanna for maintaining a professional, warm and welcoming, friendly attitude and front while also pleasing all other guests as well as customers.I only had the pleasure to have spoken with Miss Deanna shortly, as I did not wish to occupy much of her time, amid a very busy breakfast / brunch shift at the bakery, with schools having been closed and thus, with also a larger, younger customer demographic present that kept the entire team very busy with continuous orders.Thank you, Deanna for having taken the time to converse with me, to have introduced yourself to me after my curiosity led me to strike a conversation with you.Above all, thank you for your authentic, genuine, warm and truly welcoming hospitality.Kneader’s is lucky to have a District Leader / Manager like Deanna and I can only hope that your company’s leadership team will read this and appreciate this pivotal member of your operations, who is naturally blessed to know how to cater towards various personalities in this utmost volatile industry, named hospitality.Anybody who has worked even one day in this demanding field, knows well and understands the importance of a solid leader that knows the perfect balance between assertiveness, humility, kindness and professionalism and how to guide her team accordingly.Deanna is the very epitome of all of the aforementioned values and character traits, the very representation of proper, professional, subtle etiquette and I am delighted to have had the opportunity to meet and to speak with her at this Kneader’s location in Queen Creek.Thank you, Deanna, for also having extended your kindness and warm hospitality towards me and for a wonderful dining experience.Cheers!“
“K-cakes made an engagement cake and a birthday cake for us at Easter. The cakes were beautiful but the best thing is the taste. They honestly were the best tasting, most moist cakes we have ever had. Everyone agreed. Also, the delivery was exactly when we wanted and classy:) Very Happy. I'm trying the strawberry next time!“
“Okay this places cookies are the best! I’ve come here about 5x now and have never been disappointed. They switch out their menu often (not sure frequency) but there is always something new and amazing to try. Seriously they must use all fresh ingredients, because I’ve never tasted a better cookie!“
“All I can say is WOW!! You have mastered this pastry! My wife had the caramel pineapple. I had the Boston Crème and we both had half of the apple. I am a pastry "chef" (not by trade, just for fun) myself so I really mean it when I say, "WOW"!Thank you again for sharing your amazing malasadas and talent! Will be back for more! ??“
“Wow....is the first word I could think of when I tried my first bite of these macarons! I tried it today with my sister for the first time and I will be back because ive tried a few macarons but these have hit the top charts for me! Even my sister was floored at how good they are. Perfectly balanced macarons. ? what's great is you bring back your box and can get 15% off (and even the box they put them in is top quality). I love also that I was told they switch out the flavors so you won't ever get bored. 10/10 recommend!“
“Good food brings JOY and joy is soo good for your health! So my public service announcement for today is go see Marissa and enjoy some amazing cinnamon rolls ❤️great friendly service where you feel appreciated! Best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had..and plant based..I don’t know specifically how that works out healthier as I don’t have a lot of knowledge about that ..but they sure make me happy and that’s 1000% good for health always!“
“I feel like I’m walking into a candy shoppe every time I go into Chunk. The staff has always been super kind and helpful (even when my credit card refuses to work?♂️). You can’t go wrong with a warm choco chip cookie anytime during the week!!!“
“Literally the best cookie you will ever eat! Better than homemade. Made and baked on site. Often they are still warm. And the staff at the Queen Creek, AZ location is the best. Crumbl is second to NONE.Parking: Easy. I always pull right up in front of the bakery.“
