Kneads & Wants Artisan Bakery and Cafe

Would not recommend. Pastries are pretty good but the sandwiches are not the best. Price is overpriced for them as well.

Watching our special coffees being created, I knew I was in the right place. So cozy, great music, friendly and welcoming staff, and let's talk about the out-of-this-world food! Breakfast sandwiches so creatively prepared, pastries, scones...it was hard to decide on a few and not just buy it all! An absolute gem in downtown Skokie! I wish my village had a wonderful establishment like Kneads & Wants! Go! Eat! Go often! Wheelchair accessibility: Once in the door, there's a ramp to the counter and ordering/seating area. No obstructions at all.

The staff didn't ensure an inclusive environment for people that spend money there.

I am thier window cleaner and let me tell you all.their pastries are all home made from scratch absolutely delicious and way more flavorful than anything I ever tried at Starbucks. Coffee is sensational!

Kneads and Wants has delicious breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and drinks. Plus, the staff are always very friendly and helpful. If I lived closer, I’d honestly be tempted to go everyday. Highly recommend!

Holy cow—what a find! Absolutely delicious and delightful.

Great place. My new favorite cafe:) The service, food and drinks are always excellent

I'm delighted to share my joy with Kneads & Wants bakery holiday pies. Our son & his girlfriend are regulars & surprised us with your 2 extraordinary holiday pies when they came home for Christmas. The Cranberry Chess Pie had a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, creating a delightful burst of flavors with each bite. The Peanut Butter Pie was decadent with its rich chocolate and smooth peanut butter. The crusts were expertly crafted & so wonderfully flaky! Thanks to Kneads & Wants, one of my favorite Christmas gifts was the Ted Lasso biscuits! Truly hope you bring those back! We will be in for coffee & pastries next time we’re in Skokie!
