Celebrating Seven Years of Kneads & Wants
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.
Every anniversary has felt like a milestone.
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.
Specials, Surprises and Fan Favorites All Month Long
Our anniversary calendar is filled with returning favorites, weekly traditions, and limited-edition treats.
$7 Anniversary Mystery Boxes
Pick four cookies. Reveal your mystery. You just might win.
Our Anniversary Mystery Box is back with an even bigger surprise for year seven.
For just $7, choose four housemade jumbo cookies from the day’s available flavors—and receive a sealed instant-win game piece.
Choose from bakery favorites like Chocolate Chip, Pecan Butterscotch, Snickerdoodle, Confetti, Oatmeal Raisin (gluten-free), Chocolate Crinkle, and Jam-Filled Thumbprint.
Fill your box when you purchase it or save the fun for later. Bring your box back anytime through October 20, 2026, and choose four cookies from the flavors available that day.
Then comes the mystery.
We created 200 sealed game pieces, and exactly 100 are winners. That means one out of every two game pieces produced reveals a prize!
Open your sealed envelope to discover whether you won. If you reveal a prize, hold on to the card—it identifies your prize and is required for redemption.
Buy as many Mystery Boxes as you like. Each person may redeem one prize during the promotion.
Available in person throughout September 2026, while supplies last. Cookie fills and most prize redemptions must be completed or scheduled by October 20, 2026. Certain scheduled prizes have different requirements and deadlines.
No purchase or payment is necessary to enter or win. See the Official Rules for eligibility, the free mail-in game-piece request, prize details, redemption instructions, deadlines, and complete terms.
