Celebrating Seven Years of Kneads & Wants

Every anniversary has felt like a milestone.

We opened Kneads & Wants in September 2019. By our first anniversary, we were serving our community through a newly installed bakery window while everyone sheltered inside. The following year felt like the beginning we had been waiting for, even though we had already been open for two years.

Since then, we have navigated supply disruptions, staffing shortages, rising costs, difficult winters and plenty of unexpected challenges. Through every season, our community has continued to show up for us.

Now, somehow, we are celebrating seven years—and we want to celebrate with you throughout September.

Thank You for Seven Years

Kneads & Wants would not be here without the people who have visited, ordered, shared our work, brought friends, celebrated milestones and continued to believe in our bakery.

Thank you for helping us make it through another year. We hope you’ll visit often, revisit an old favorite, and discover something new as we celebrate throughout September.

$7 Anniversary Cookie Boxes and Sweepstakes

Four Jumbo Cookies for $7

Throughout September, we’re offering a limited number of anniversary cookie boxes. Each $7 box includes your choice of four available housemade jumbo cookies—a regular retail value of $9.80 to $14, depending on your selections.

Only 200 cookie boxes will be available, while supplies last.

Every purchased cookie box also includes an anniversary sweepstakes entry form. Complete the form and return it to the bakery by September 30 for a chance to win one of 74 prizes.

Purchasing a cookie box is not required to enter and will not improve your chances of winning. The identical entry form is available free of charge at Kneads & Wants during regular business hours.

Limit one sweepstakes entry per person, regardless of entry method.
