Kneaders Bakery and Cafe

★★★★3.9(133 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

Kneaders is a bakery-cafe best known for its unlimited French toast breakfast ($7.49), which has earned passionate devotion from repeat customers—but the shop's 3.9 rating reflects real inconsistency issues, with complaints about portion sizes (pricey slices that feel skimpy), hit-or-miss food quality even when ordering the same dish twice, and occasional friction with staff over gift cards. If you're craving that specific breakfast special and willing to tolerate uneven service, it might be worth a visit; otherwise, there are more reliable options in Meridian.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

I've been here twice and had 2 VERY different experiences. I ordered the same thing each time. Crack Chicken sandwich.... First time it was absolutely delicious, I've been wanting it again ever since. Plenty of chicken, avocado, bacon, tomato. It was warm, the bread was…
