50 Best Bakeries near Merchantville

“This restaurant is amazing! Impeccable service and professional. Anything on the menu is worth trying! This is my go to spot for celebration cakes and they are always beautiful and delicious!“

“Truly the best pound cake I’ve ever had. This was a hit with the family for Easter- the marble cake with chocolate icing was my personal fav. The girls working were so friendly and welcoming even though the store was super busy! I will definitely be back!!“

“I love the food here. But i went there tonight around 730 and it was frigid outside. Just as we were sitting down to eat our food the worker decided to open the doors to carry all the outdoor furniture in then kept them open while he changed trash outside too. Not a care in the world for how freezing it was for his customers. It was extremely disappointing. We drive like 25 minutes to eat here. May be a while before we do that again.“

“I’m obsessed! Found this bakery on too good to go & took a ride over (from jersey) I came home with 4 different flavors of the banana pudding & my 16 year old and I tried each one. I can’t even pick a favorite because they are all so good. The Magic flavor name makes complete sense when you take a bite because different flavors seem to magically appear in your mouth (peanut butter being the last to hit…) hard to explain but if you taste it, it will make sense! I got 2 large puddings in my order than bought 2 different small ones in different flavors & i regret not getting the 2 extra cups in large! Driving in Philly stresses me out but I’ve never wanted to drive back over there so bad! For more pudding! I will be recommending this bake shop to everyone! The guy behind the counter was super nice & welcoming and helped me pick out some favorites. It’s a nice Friendly shop with amazing puddings & I will definitely be back!“

“The girl that I spoke with recommended a whip cream cake, let me tell you, this cake did not disappoint it was the best one yet I had a lot of cakes from Haegles. I would recommend any bakery item from Haegles ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“This place has the BEST cookies and great customer service!

They have 6+ flavors every week and they rotate through new flavors weekly. They also have exciting holiday themed flavors. It's easy to get invested in coming back over time to try different delights! Their app is easy to use for orders and their rewards program points add up quickly. Their staff is always friendly and nice. Their party pack is a favorite at gatherings!“

“Great location. Only a short wait to be seated. Very good hosts working well to get guests to a table. Kristina was our waitress and she was great. Friendly and good service!“

“Such a great shoppe and experience! When you step inside the aroma is delightful, and the ambiance is upbeat and bright incorporating both modern and cozy. The pastries, breads, cookies are top-notch and totally enticing. The Mocha Latte I ordered was delicious. This is a very busy place, on weekends especially, so plan ahead and don't go hangry. But well worth the wait. Staff are pleasant, hard-working, and professional. My new favorite place in South Philly! Loved it 😍“

“Best filled croissant I've ever had and the drip coffee was perfect.
Update: I can't stop thinking about that hazelnut croissant. If I take a trip back to Philly it will be just for this croissant. For the love of pastry, if you have not been here you must go.“

“Love The Kettle Black! Amazing vegan croissants, bagels & other treats! Their cold brew is always on point! Super friendly and talented folks!“

“I got an egg tart and a milk bun which I had never had before and was pleasantly surprised. The prices are super fair at $2 a piece but they only take cash or Venmo. They have a bug selection of Chinese pastries and also serve bubble teas. There isn’t a lot of seating so definitely plan to grab and go.“

“Amazing - quality is 10/10, customer service is 10/10 and prices are fantastic!“

“Rhonda came through for my daughters 21st bday party! Called her on Thursday for a Saturday late day delivery… top notch, on time delivery but best yet… amazing mini cupcakes…baked on Saturday delivered fresh!!! The cupcakes were so flavorful…each one was mouth watering!!! Thank you Rhonda @seconddaughterbakingco 10 out of 10!!!!“

“Cupcake- Lemon pound cake with raspberry filling and raspberry buttercream on top!“

“Listennnnn! those mini Sweet Potato pies were to die for!!! I'll be back soon! ❤️ 🔥“

“This is such a lovely bakery — I’d venture to say it’s my favorite in the city! Everything I’ve tried from here is so so delicious. I love the variety of savory and sweet items they offer, such that I always gotta get one of each! Highly recommend the chicken shawarma sammie and the chocolate cherry babka“

“Writing a review to say that this place has probably the best cake I've ever had: we got a taro cake yesterday and I've never seen our family almost eat an entire cake in one day-- two amazing portions/layers of taro filling and icing on top and in between layers. The icing is so good, it's not your usual store-bought icing: the perfect amount of vanilla and sugar. Will absolutely be back to try their other cakes as well as their breads/pastries. Service is friendly too, I made sure to tip. Thank you!“

“Love this place. Everyone is always so nice and accommodating. And you can’t beat their $1.75 cupcakes! Love them.“

“The cake was the star of the show! Our family celebrated 50 years of emigration to the U.S. and the Lunar New Year. The cake we had envisioned was a three-layer cake, with each layer representing a generation. Frosted Fox turned it into reality. The cake looked amazing and tasted wonderful. Thanks so much, Jennifer and Sean! The cake was the talk of the party!“

“My favorite local sweets!! I’m obsessed with the Dubai strawberry cups and I’m so grateful we have access to this deliciousness so close to home.“

“Welcome to the Asian 9rh st. The area is complete with nuance of fish heads and stray cats. The Filthy Orient would fit in well in this area. The pretzels are tasty ,but I have to disinfect my work boots when I leave this store.“

“Really nice small local ice cream shop with about 12 flavors to choose from. The ice cream is flavorful and creamy and the price is fair for the amount you get. Limited seating inside and unfortunately no seating outside, probably because of the neighborhood.

Dietary restrictions: No sure about lactose free options

Parking: A decent amount of street parking

“Delicious and fresh Brazilian dessert“

“Brewerytown Bakery is such a gem — a cozy little spot in Philly with two small tables, big flavors, and some of the best vegan sammies I’ve ever had 🥯✨ The Phillywide is straight-up the breakfast sandwich of my dreams: cheddar jalapeño bagel, tempeh bacon, red onion, Just Egg, beautifully spiced, and melty vegan cheese. Out. Of. This. World. I’ll be dreaming about it for a while 💭💛 My hubby went classic with an everything bagel chive cream cheese, and we took a chocolate croissant to go — flaky, rich, perfection. Everything was absolutely incredible. If you're anywhere near Brewerytown, this place is a must visit! #BrewerytownBakery #PhillyVeganEats #VeganBreakfast #Phillywide #VeganCroissant #VeganBagelLove #PhillyFoodie #PlantBasedPhilly #HiddenGemEats“

“The absolute best bagels. I lived in NYC for a decade and would sometimes bring bagels back from Vanilya because they beat almost any bagel there. When I moved to Philly, these bagels were a top 5 reason. Especially recommend the za’atar bagel but they’re all fantastic and fresh. Thank you, Vanilya!!“

“This is classic South Philly - big ol oven built into the wall , multi generation family operation , such a cool spot. I went for my first time and the owner Steve could tell I was into bread and pizza and history and stuff and invited me back to check out how he bakes everything and showed me all the old machines, the mixer, the dough separator. I haven’t had an experience like this visiting a food establishment in ages . The pride and labor of love Steve has for this are evident in all he does. His colleague Albin was awesome too! Best tasting tomato pie I’ve ever had.“

“Love the cream donuts and German style cheese pies. I think a 100th anniversary tee-shirt is in order! Something retro looking that comes in a few color options 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“beignets, almond croissants, plain croissants. cash only“

“You will definitely get the by far the best tomato pie in Philly hands down p.s get there early because they most definitely will sale out!!!!“

“From the time I decided To walk in and get a pastry and something hot to drink, I was in love with it. It’s my favorite place to go to after work with friends. It’s a nice place to unwind and pull out your laptop and work as well. Love the Hot dog donut!!!! And the brownies.“

“Thank you for making Pooh Bear themed donuts for our daughter's third birthday party! They looked and tasted great!“

“I've always had good baked goods here - it's becoming a traditional stop when we come to the city! Best things I've had here are the maple oatmeal scones and the brown butter pound cake - phenomenal! What baked goods are supposed to taste like!“

“They are extremely nice, made a gorgeous, yummy birthday cake for me with only 48 hours notice and Pete is hysterical. Also, the cost was reasonable. Will definitely use them again.“

“I bought two cupcakes last night (red velvet and birthday cake), and they were so delicious . The icing wasn’t overwhelming sweet and the cupcake itself was so moist! Would definitely come back and try more sweets. Also the lady who took my order was so sweet and her customer service was awesome!“

“Jeff, Marie, Nancy, Roland and team go out of their way to make special and beautiful gifts for holiday! A wonderful experience in working with them!“

“omg what a great lil place! get 50 atleast!!!“

“Isgro is sensational. A true old-school and family-owned Italian bakery that offers so many different cookies, pastries, cakes, and (of course) cannoli. Both the classic ricotta and mascarpone are delicious. The shells have a perfectly golden-brown and flaky crust with a satisfying crunch. You'll be hard-pressed to find better in Philly.

The service here is always very inviting and welcoming. When my partner and I came here to put together a box of cookies for a Christmas gift, the owners served free champagne and treats to everyone in line: thanking us for our patronage.

You'll have to be patient during peak hours, but their ticketing system ensures that the line moves as efficiently as possible. It's a mainstay of the Italian Market and a must to try at least once!“

“Love the carrot cake!!! Great service clean and friendly atmosphere.“

“Ursa bread is fantastic. Since the pandemic when we were incredibly lucky to have this bread delivered to our door to now it has been consistently wonderful bread baked with love. I go to the farmers markets specifically for this bread. Philadelphia has a number of great new small bakeries but Ursa is at the top!“

“Great atmosphere, clean and they make you feel at home. The food is delicious, I just had the chicken soup for the first time and it was really good. I also tried a corn dog for the first time and it was delicious 🤤 mouth watering. I love this place🫶🏼“

“I couldn’t be happier with my experience! The cake was absolutely delicious—moist, flavorful, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. But what truly blew me away was the presentation. It looked like a work of art—so beautifully done that I almost didn’t want to cut into it! Jackie was just as impressive. From start to finish, communication was smooth, friendly, and professional. Every detail I asked for was delivered flawlessly, and I genuinely felt valued as a customer. Highly recommend to anyone looking for both taste and elegance. I’ll definitely be ordering again!“

“Sunflower Bakery is amazing! We ordered cupcakes for my retirement party. Everyone loved them. We ordered regular cupcakes and vegan cupcakes. They were all so fresh and delicious!!!!“

“Was there 3 times during the Pandemic and each time the line was short and the selection was plentiful. Enjoyed the cheesecake and will look forward to coming back“

“the best tasting cannolis pastries are amazing“

“The cappuccino was so good in this little cozy cafe. There were good verity of baked goods. I prefer some inside seats since the weather is not nice most of time in Philadelphia. There were a couple of seats outside of cafe but not many seats inside.“

“We just had our first taste of goodness from Tartes. Their tartlets are pretty and scrumptious! Whether you're looking for a dessert for a romantic or holiday dinner, a gift for a birthday or host, or just a special treat for yourself, Tartes is the place! Their offerings are yummy for the eyes and the tastebuds!“

“They have the best customer service. I got a cookie tin and canolis. Both were of such high quality. Great Italian bakery!“

“Oh my!!!…was fortunate enough yesterday to win a boo cake at a networking event. I have never had one, but it looked amazing. I brought back to my office at Ambotte.com and the entire cake was gone. It was delicious. All who ate it were impressed with how amazing this cake was. Thank you for the opportunity of letting us try it. I guarantee we will be buying cakes in the future!!!“
