Kneads, an upscale bakery and coffee shop, will have its grand opening on Friday, Jan. 10, at The Village of Cross Keys.Located in a newly-constructed building at the entrance to the Village Shops section of Cross Keys, Kneads is a “next generation” project of H&S Bakery owned by the Paterakis family of Baltimore, and an affiliate of the flagship Kneads Bakeshop and Café at 506 S. Central Ave. in Harbor East. There’s also a satellite in Canton.The Cross Keys location, 6 Village Square, will feature a full range of freshly baked pastries and an extensive selection of coffee and tea, as well as breakfast and lunchtime options available for take-out or dining on the premises.Pastries and coffee from Kneads Bakeshop at The Village of Cross Keys.

The centerpiece of the bakery is the visually stunning and intimate six-top ‘jewel box’ coffee bar which is visible from the street and entices passersby to step inside and enjoy a drink or a decadent treat.”Kneads will initially be open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. One unusual design feature, the “Chamber of Kneads,” was inspired by Florentine wine windows that were originally used to serve wine 400 years ago, during an epidemic in Italy. Customers at Cross Keys can walk up, press a bell, and order wine to sip at Kneads or elsewhere in the Village Shops.“Kneads offers a coffee shop experience unlike any other in our area,” said Arsh Mirmiran, principal of Caves Valley Partners, the developers who are bringing new shops and dining spots to Cross Keys, 5100 Falls Road. “Blending a warm, welcoming atmosphere with artisanal bakery offerings, it’s the perfect place for visitors and locals alike to unwind, enjoy a meal or coffee, and take in the once-again vibrant surroundings of Cross Keys.”More information is available at Kneads’ Instagram, @kneadsbakeshop.
