Kneadful Things - Artisan Bakery

Everytime I've been here the bread and sweet treats are always impeccable. Probably some of the best sourdough you'll have, can highly recommend. Tends to get busy on weekends so try and get in early. But it's well worth the wait regardless 😋

I haven't been here but my boyfriend recently brought home sourdough from this bakery. We have been looking for a decent sourdough for months and nothing really lives up to what we have had in Europe until finding this gem. It's amazing 😍 we will definitely be purchasing the sour dough regularly.

These fine folks are slinging some of the best sourdough going from a diminutive shopfront. No surprise for anyone familiar with their sister store, who've been perfecting the art of sourdough for longer than anyone in Melbourne.

The fig, fennel, and walnut loaf is possibly the perfect cheeseboard bread, with stern competition from the olive baguette. White sourdough and pumpkin are awesome for sangas or with spreads.

Don't overlook the sweet options either; after years of holding out on the cronut wave, it was a perfect puck of honeycomb and sunbeams from Kneadful that won me over. Masterfully balanced between flaky outside, buttery dough and creamy filling. Resist if you must, but I can't lie to you about your chances.

I like the name as it's a great homage to Stephen King, the bread however is excellent and payment is delightfully very straight forward by card. There's no breaking your neighbours windows for a loaf of sour dough or setting fire to a house for a rye bread. I appreciate the simplicity of each transaction, especially when I don't have the energy for such destruction first thing in the morning before I've had a cup of coffee & Vegemite toast.

My Favourite Fairfield Bakery!
Melbournes oldest traditional sourdough - amazing!
House made old school pies to die for.
Pastries that I can never seem to walk past, they call my name and normally come home with me.
Cannot get enough of this bakery!

Kneadful Things has become our go-to bakery. The bread here is outstanding and very reasonably priced for the quality. The other day we went to try another bakery but just ended up leaving and going straight back to Kneadful Things instead! I definitely recommend the Rye Casa loaf and also the Olive loaf. The Hemp loaf is also delicious if you're keen on something a little different.

Best bread in Melbourne. We travel especially to buy it.
Recently excited to see paper bags in use rather than plastic but I was told it was only because the ties used for the plastic bags were not available.
Whilst I understand that cost is the issue, I hope that you can opt for paper bags and then no need for the ties either.
They're both bad for the environment.

Shared a egg & bacon quiche, bbq pork pie, blueberry danish and a raspberry muffin with my partner this morning and we are totally obsessed. Everything from the customer service to the homemade jams are perfect. New local favourite for sure!

My husband is a baker and simply, we couldn’t resist trying most of the menu. The pies and sausage rolls are to die for, old school baking. The desserts are on another level, the time put into the product are obvious. The breads are next level, the staff are friendly and helpful. Such an enjoyable experience, we live in country Victoria and will make the drive back to visit again! Well done guys!

Always high quality and a great selection of baked goods. Lucky to have such a nice bakery in Fairfield!

This is my favourite bakery. The ciabata is so soft and crusty and the pastry on the sausage roll is like nothing else. Can't recommend highly enough.

Outstanding bakery. The focaccias and cinnamon scrolls are favourites. Always a novel variety of sweet baked goods too.

Best sourdough loaf... sliced.
Best meat pies.

Best bakery around. Our family can't stop talking about how good the bread is, and what type to try next. We are loving the Danish bread.
The bread is great. The Cronuts are amazing. Don't buy any, leave them all for me.
Love your bakery.

I bought a pack of hot cross buns. They were delicious, light with lots of spice. The lady who served me was very bright and welcoming. There was a very good selections of lovely looking breads at reasonable prices for artisan products. I look forward to trying some of them.

This pastry took me straight back to Paris! Quite frankly the best danish I’ve ever had in Melbourne. Cannot recommend the pear and pistachio danish highly enough. Will definitely be back.
Just wishing they did an excellent coffee to pair it with!

Fantastic and delicious pastries that don’t break the bank - a Fairfield gem!

Their olive loaf is absolutely amazing!!!! They don't skimp out on olives either. I ate mine on its own with a little olive oil. I've tried olive breads in other places, but this one tops it.

Kneadful is my go to for gluten-free bread - I can't eat the cardboard from the supermarket anymore after tasting their delicious GF seeded, fruit loaf and olive bread. Also well priced compared to other places (please don't change!) Soooo good!
I'd love to see some other GF options like pastries, pies.... The others look so good but I can't indulge... just sayin 😁🙏

Best donuts, fresh but not too fluffy, just right, with a choice of jam, custard, Nutella and more. And wonderful bread too, we love the Ciabatta the best. Lots more too. And try the custard and raspberry brioche bun cake thing, top secret and big enough to share. All very yummy.
