Kneady Lady Bakery

Local. Fresh. Personal.
At Kneady Lady Bakery, each and every sale genuinely excites our owners. This isn’t your average big box store. The owners take time to personalize each order, using creativity and passion in everything that’s created.

What's in a name? The Kneady Lady Bakery got its name from the owner's mom. While decorating cookies for her sister's baby shower, the owner apparently had too many requests. You see, Kneady Lady's owner goes all in when she bakes. Sometimes this means she ends up covered in fondant, flour, powdered sugar, or any number of other baking essentials. It's often easier to enlist help to grab the next tool she needs, but these requests led her mom to (jokingly) say "Sheesh you're needy!!" Coupled with the owner's passion for giving back, the Kneady Lady Bakery was born!

Kneady Lady Bakery is all about providing good food, for good. 5% of all proceeds are donated to a charity of the owner's choice (or the customer's choice if it's a large order). The charity changes from time to time, and suggestions for charities are always welcome!
