Knead Love Bakery

My life has changed for the better since discovering Knead Love Bakery. It's hard to find gluten free options that are full of healthful ingredients vs. additives, and this is it. Their sourdough bread is my everything, and I adore their sweet treats (personal favorites: Apple Pop Tarts, Sourdough Cardamom Swirl Slice, Chocolate Buckwheat Donuts, and seasonal muffins - especially the most recent Matcha one!). I also love that their treats satisfy your sweet tooth without being overly sweet, and I always feel good afterwards (unlike most other treats!). Best of all, the owner and all staff are absolutely lovely. Know some reviews on here are mixed, but in my book: run, don't walk!.

I used to enjoy the feelings brownie and chocolate chip cookie but over time the texture and flavor has declined. Bread is always sticky gummy and dense when you cut it, and other items like the hand pies (now called pop tarts) are dry and crumbly. Other pastries I’ve gotten have been stale if not dry. Customer service has often been an issue - once bought an $80 pie that was completely collapsed, not even something you can cut and serve, and another time goods weren’t delivered on the scheduled day and time (ordered for an event) and a refund wasn’t even offered. Edited to add receipts given the owner's response: Order confirmation from $72 twixx pie, another holiday season I purchased $80 of goods ($68 pie + more for additional items). Considering these are orders from 2021 and 2022, and just this year I purchased a $60 gf pie from a Michelin guide restaurant ... knead love prices have always been exorbitant.

Best gluten free, refined sugar free, dairy free bakery in the world!!!!!! I get their GF sourdough bread every week and freeze it so it keeps for months. Sarah, the owner, is attentive and super sweet. She cares so much about her food and what goes into it.

Knead Love Bakery is at the Union Square Greenmarket on Wednesday, and bakes and sells gluten-free, natural sourdough breads and treats with whole grains. locally sourced with no additives or preservatives, with very high quality and nutritious and flavorful ingredients. If you like chocolate, I'd recommend the chocolate brownie which is mostly made with almond butter and dark chocolate from local craft chocolate makers such as Brooklyn based Raaka without the common soy lecithin, and with local maple syrup rather than added refined sugar. Many baked goods feature whole grain gluten-free buckwheat flour as well as oat flour which are very healthy. Some of the baked goods feature local fruits and berries. The bagels are all sourdough and dense with whole grains and seeds.

Super yummy! First time trying and I’m going to come back weekly now. Got the brownie and blueberry lemon muffin. Amazing quality ingredients and great taste

I have tried SO many gluten free breads in NYC that I’ve lost count, and the search is finally over. Not just the best I’ve tried here, but rivals the best I’ve tasted anywhere. Fantastic texture and flavor (it’s actual bread, vs. a crumbly flavorless bread substitute). Everyone in my family enjoys, both gluten free and gluten lovers alike. The “Nutty” is a favorite.

Knead love is a gluten-free godsend. I love getting their brownies, cinnamon raisin bread and everything bagels. Today I added some Rebel banana peanut chip ice cream after warming up the brownie on 275 for a few minutes.

I’ve been coming here regularly for at least 3–4 months, and yesterday I ordered my usual blueberry muffin—only to find egg shells in it. When I brought this to the attention of the staff at Knead Love, they initially denied that the muffins contained eggs and asked me for photos. I was genuinely surprised by their response, especially given how often I come here. Thankfully, another staff member eventually stepped in, confirmed that the muffins do contain eggs, and offered to swap it out for another item. Still, I was disappointed by the initial reaction and lack of basic courtesy. As someone who supports this small business every week, I expected better customer service.
