Myself and some friends completed the KFM 10 km Gunrun this
morning and we agreed unanimously that we crave some delicious carbs! Knead was
suggested and before you can say GO we arrived :)
First impression: The place was packed and luckily we
secured a table. As you walk in you are spoiled with the delicious smell of
freshly baked bread and pastries. That’s one smell that no one can deny is
comforting. The restaurant is more of
less open planned and you can see how the workers knead and bake the numerous delicious
treats around you.

| Welcome to Knead! |
 |
| Lots of bread styles to choose from! |
Service: The service was excellent. The manager showed us to
our table and he was visible throughout the meal. You can see that Knead runs
under a tight rein and this definitely contributes to its success. Our waiter
was very charismatic and efficient.
Food: The food was delicious and im not being biased due to
the fact that we were starving. Food choices ranges from typical breakfasts and pastries to sandwiches and delicious pizzas. I will be returning soon to sample some
of the Italian delights.

| Corn fritters with smoked salmon (R50) |
 |
| Fresh fruit salad |
 |
| Chocolate croissant |
 |
| Petit four |
Dishes ordered by our table were fresh fruit salad served with a muesli styled bread, oozing chocolate croissant and corn fritters served
with cream cheese, smoked salmon, tomato and basil pesto. The corn fritters
were definitely a highlight. They had a spicy kick to them and the cream cheese
compliments the dish very well by soothing away most of the spice.
Fellow restaurant goers really enjoyed some of the egg type
breakfast such as the scrambled egg on toast and egg benedict as well as numerous different chicken and meat sandwiches. There was even someone that ordered the
breakfast pizza. Its consist of a cheesy and meaty combination. Definitely something
for the very hungry.
If you don’t have time to sit down come and buy some of
their pastries or choose from the numerous styles of breads available.
Drinks: The coffee was nice and strong and the juice was
fresh. My friends wanted to order a smoothie but unfortunatley they did not have
the ingredients in stock Hope this was a once-off thing. They then opted for a
interesting ice tea consisting of pomegranate juice. The alternative was
gladly accepted by them.
