“202403/04I don't know what their vegan lox is made of but it is freaking delicious and I'm positive if I just handed the lox of love to someone on the street they would NOT be able to tell the whole thing is meatless. It was so darn good!! Also tried their pistachio rose cookie and jasmine peach scone in March and they were delicious as well! Our forever favorite neighborhood spot!202302Today I tried cheesesteak and Phillywide (sausage egg and cheese sandwich), both are vegan! Cheesesteak $14 is made with black bird seitan. It tastes like chicken at first glance, but it looks like gluten when you eat it seriously, but overall it’s delicious.Phillywide $12 It’s delicious with beyond sausage and the eggs are pretty real too!202209There are no bakeries in this area. This opening makes me grizzly excited!I didn’t look at the details carefully, but buying two scones, two muffins, a biscuit sandwich and two bagels totaled $23, which I thought was a good deal! There are also many types of pastries and bagels. Many of the items are vegan. I really like them. The pastries are delicious. Everything and the salt+rosemary bagels taste a little salty to me.“
“Ordered the sweetest, in taste and cuteness, cupcakes for my daughters first birthday! They were DELICIOUS! Everyone loved them! Ordered online and picked up from the bakery! Everything was so easy and everyone was so nice! Will recommend to everyone! Thank you!“
“I had an amazing trip to Philadelphia for the first time. To end the trip I decided to have dessert at Sweer T's bakery. The owner was very friendly and give me the history of the bakery and gaining access to the crowds at Reading Terminal. My favorite pie has always been the sweet potato pie. I tried his pie and quickly realized he added a twist to the pie I'm use to eating. His crust was made from graham crackers, though different it added to the amazing taste of the pie. I'm sure the rest of the desserts are also amazing. If you are in the Philadelphia area, you must give this place a try.“
“Beautiful little spot for a cup of coffee and tasy treats in bustling center city west. Fantastic art. They also have roasted coffee. Unfortunately, this location has a large step up to get in, getting inside is not easily accessible for people with mobility challenges.“
“Ashley’s Cake Shoppe is the best bakery I’ve ever been to in my life. Everything is so delicious. I’ve tried 3 different desserts. Peach cobbler, strawberry crumble cheese cake and another one I can’t remember the name. I’ve never been disappointed. I promise you won’t be either.“
“First of all--I'm glad to be introduced to another Black owned bakery! And the customer service is great. My aunt located this place when looking for treats for my grandma's bday. Everything was delicious and were a hit with the family, including the cookies. They really have too many cupcake options to choose from ?. I recently stopped by and tried the delicious sweet potato & strawberry shortcake cupcakes. I also have tried the Oreo and Turkey Bacon ones, which were good, too. I'm literally sad it's a Monday and can't wait until Wednesday to visit.“
“I ordered one of the pre-designed cakes for my soon to be sister-in-law’s bridal shower and I could not have been happier with how it turned out! The cake was beautiful, tasted as good as it looked, and was a huge hit at the shower. The ordering was simple, they were thorough with directions and the time slot pick up. I cannot wait to order from here again!“

“Highly recommend this florist! Laura was awesome and personable! I called last minute for same day delivery and she went out of her way to make it happen ! Michelle has helped me in the past and I had the same experience ! They truly care and the arrangements are always perfect!“
“This is my second time ordering from Ann’s Cake Pan and I’m sure it will not be the last! They make gorgeous and delicious cakes! In our first experience, they actually offered a generous plate of samples for us to take home and try before ordering!They stand behind their products and will work with you to make sure everything is to your liking. Customer service is outstanding! I would not hesitate to recommend this bakery…they are awesome! Thank you Ann’s Cake Pan for adding to our celebrations!“
“Such a great place! I went a few months ago and things were good but OH MY!! I went again today and everything was AMAZING! We were one of the first people in shop and the selection was actually overwhelming! So many options and everything has been great so far. I’m actually a vegan bakery owner myself BUT when traveling love to try other treats & I was super happy about all the treats. Also, the staff working was super friendly, helpful and just overall great to chat with. I immediately texted a fellow vegan friend and sanctuary owner about my experience and what treats I grabbed so he knows to stop next time he’s in the area as well! ❤️❤️“
“David and the team there provided an awesome first experience. I ordered for a group of peers from our corporate office in Fort Washington for takeout today. The cheesesteak, chicken cheesesteak and turkey clubs were awesome. I'll be ordering here much more from now on. Learned they were a 75 yr running family local business which I love to support.“
“This place did a brilliant job of having very filling options on the menu that weren’t too heavy or calorie dense. This giant breakfast burrito was mainly filled with eggs and a little bit of refried beans. I left full but not feeling gross, which is a fine line to walk with a breakfast burrito.The lox and bagel was ordered by others at the table and it looked very similar - lots of of greens on the plate but they didn’t skimp on the lox or cream cheese. We all were glad to have picked this spot for our weekend brunch.“
“Go support this Black Owned Business!! Tyisha is so sweet and accommodating! Her Biscotti cupcake was SO good - it tasted just like the cookies you get on airplanes!!! You have to try it!! Other neat flavors that I haven’t seen elsewhere - banana pudding cupcake and strawberry crunch cupcake! Such cute designs too like the Cookie Monster cupcake!“
“I did not even eat the cupcakes at Sweet Box Cupcakes and now I feel...foolish. However, I did try nearly everything else! Bring on the 5 star chocolate chip cookie (cakie, flakey salts, ribbons of chocolate), edible frozen cookie dough (goodbye my lover goodbye my friend I ate you for basically every meal across two days) and the amazing dirty jawn which is a brookie oreo creation (that I initially said I'd "freeze for later" but ended up eating much of...then ultimately throwing away because I feared it's power over me...you win this time, Dirty Jawn). Okay so now that that's out of the way, service here is amazing and I honestly didn't think prices were that bad, though I may be in the minority. The dough was only like $6 and you can't find that price in a grocery store so...support local for your edible raw dough needs. The service and vibes here are both excellent and it's hard to imagine going anywhere else for a sweet treat. Excited to grab treats for visitors and stop by anytime I find myself on that side of Broad.“
“Highly highly recommend this Black Owned Business!! You will not be disappointed!!! Best cupcakes I’ve literally ever tasted - which is saying a lot because before Kia’s I did not like cupcakes!!! I’ve tried so many flavors - even flavors I “knew” I wouldn’t like - and I still liked them! It’s wild how good Kia’s cakes are!!! Top favorites of their general cupcakes: Vanilla Oreo, Carrot cake, and Red Velvet! The cupcake specials for the holidays are amazing - and for Black History Month they did punny cupcakes that also told a story of the person that they were honoring - so sweet and important. Other foods that are there like the Iced Pound Cake and the Banana Pudding are equally as amazing as the cupcakes. Recently tried the “Irish Potatoes” which were a special for St. Patrick’s day - they have coconut in them, and I don’t like coconut - but I ate so many of Kia’s Irish Potatoes!! All of this to say - try all the flavors and offerings - it is all so tasty!!!Vegetarian options: They also offer vegan and gluten-free options too!!Dietary restrictions: The team is super mindful of dietary restrictions and honors your requests!Kid-friendliness: Brought our baby in, and the team was so kind to him!“
“I stopped in the market this past Sunday and I came across this bakery by chance. The display caught my eye and I decided take a look and ended up ordering whoopie pies, lemon bars and butter cake. All three were AMAZING! I will definitely be making this a new stop when I am in the city!!“
“How? How is Karla’s food this good? We’ve had nearly everything on the menu over the years and each dish is as outstanding as the next. The flavors, textures, ratios are all perfection.My husband and I without fail will look at each other a few bites in, shaking our heads and one of us saying: Karla seriously what the hell.“
“I am not one to leave a review but I must share how amazing this bakery was to work with and how beautiful and delicious their cake was! Not only were they able to accommodate my custom cake request super last minute but they brought the inspiration photo I sent them to life in the form of the most flavorful cake that left all our guests raving and wanting more. The only downside was the fact that we didn’t have any left over to enjoy the next day! This will for sure be our go to bakery going forward!“
