Crema's Take
“Knead's sourdough pastries and bread are the real draw here—visitors consistently rave about the croissants, cinnamon rolls, and kolaches, and many find the baked goods good enough to justify a return trip specifically for them. If you're a coffee purist, know that they serve straightforward brewed coffee rather than espresso-focused drinks, so this is more of a destination for exceptional pastries and breakfast sandwiches than for specialty coffee craftsmanship. The limited parking means you'll want to arrive early, but the 4.7-star rating suggests the sourdough is worth the logistics.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

See all on Google →Overall a great experience! I was just picking up food, but I would have enjoyed looking around a little more ( if I had had more time). If you decide to go ... parking is limited, so possibly go earlier in the day. The chicken salad sandwhich was delicious!
Amazing. We were gifted a gift basket from Knead, it was so good I drove out of my may to visit on the next trip to St Louis. Breakfast sandwich and donut were absolutely delicious. I love sourdough, taking half the bakery home with me. Will go out of my way again to visit next…
Knead bakery is a cute bakery+cafe with sourdough baked goods. Croissants are a must-try. Their weekend cinnamon roll is super tasty. And, of course, their bread is delicious. We haven't found anything we don't like. A great spot for a weekend brunch! P.S. Try the vegan chili!…
Tried different things here, and they were consistently good. For breakfast, my favorite option is the 3 cheese and bacon kolache. They only have brewed coffee, and I usually prefer espresso pours, but their coffee is good too. The sourdough bread is also good. They sell out…
First visit and we’re in love! We were traveling from colorado to south carolina and I googled bakeries and coffee shops in STL and found Knead. The fact that their bread and pastries are sourdough is what made me want to go! Sourdough takes things to a whole other level in my…
