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!“

“This place is a step below heaven! The pound cakes or bars, as they call them, are incredible to the pallid! We only get down to their store maybe once every few years! It’s always a delight to STOCK up with $200 worth of cakes (they last forever)!“

“All of the fine pastries, cakes and recently our daughter’s strawberry shortcake for her birthday. I love their jelly sticks. Everything is so delicious.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 absolute best! Fresh, hot pretzels the way God intended. Reminds me when we were kids and my Mother took us for pretzels“

“I'm honestly disappointed in myself for not having come here sooner. The brunch menu is simple: some breakfast options like quiche, scrambled eggs, avocado toast, breakfast sandwich. Then some solid sandwich options, in addition.

We went with the apple & cheddar baguette with turkey. Delicious. The bread was super crunchy and the mustard was such a nice complement to the apples and meat. Also got the tozzino. Not usually a huge focaccia fan, but this was quite nice and the soppresatta was great. Always going to love burrata and this was done well. Finally, grabbed a tomato bread with cheese which was like a mini pizza and excellent-the crust was delectable.

Grabbed some of the pastries to go, all of which looked amazing. We came at a good point as we were able to snag a table but I can see it being difficult when it gets busy. Line moves quickly and the service is fast.

Would definitely come back. Wish I had tried the soup on the cold day we went so will likely be going with that next time.“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

Vegetarian options: I’m not sure I understand

Parking: Next to store there is a little plot to park in

Kid-friendliness: They have child decorations

“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.“

“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! ❤️ 🔥“

“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.“

“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

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking“

“Delicious and fresh Brazilian dessert“

“excellent food and excellent people“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“My Uncle and two cousins delivered bread for them for years. My uncle used to take me with him occasionally. The smell that early in the morning was heaven.“

“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!“

“The food and atmosphere are amazing.“

“Have been getting cakes 2 years now cannot say enough how amazing the cakes are. Everyone always ask me where i order the cakes from and half the time when i go to get a slice it is all gone. Ferry food treats is very nice and easy to communicate with on what you want.“

“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!“

“Some of the best pistachio baklava I’ve ever had (used to live in an area with lots of Mediterranean restos). This baklava was fresh, lots of crunchy layers of phyllo and huge! I’m not a profiterole fan but the profiterole here hits the spot! Will return!“

“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 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“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🫶🏼“

“Enjoyed a caramel latte and a hot chocolate from J’aime early before celebrating the Eagles trashing of the Kansas City Chiefs at the Super Bowl Champions parade! Thanks for your smiling service and welcoming us in. The pastries looked great but we had just eaten or we’d have taken some along too!“

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

“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“

“Delicious gluten free pretzels! I highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Just learned about this lovely bakery this morning. We had no idea what to choose to eat. Every recommendation was delicious. We brought home two pastries for dessert. We will be going back. Thank you for such a nice experience!🥰“

“Most amazing GF donuts we have ever had!!!! We can’t wait to try more of your offerings!!!“
