Kneaders is hella underrated! I came for the first time today. I got a club sandwich with pomegranate berry iced tea. You can never go wrong with a club - it totally met my expectations. The tea was the star of the show imo. It's fruity and super flavorful but not sugary. It's actually quite similar to Pita Jungle's tea, but even better. Hard to imagine, I know. Oh! And they have pastries! Like real fresh pastries like fruit tarts and mini bundts and something called orange rolls (looked BOMB but didn't get it).
The staff was also really friendly! Girlfriend at the counter was literally a cashier out of a commercial. I swear she's either getting a raise, or just got one.
The ONLY downside is that they don't have wifi.
Still, I really doubt I'll go back to a Panera after this. Ate the whole sandwich, I'm full, and I don't even look 3 months pregnant. This is great.
