50 Best Bakeries near Elkins Park

“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 been here twice for Challah. Also had a blueberry muffin and sticky bun with raisins and walnuts. Everything has been delicious! Not expensive either.“

“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 food and atmosphere are amazing.“

“The place was clean and food was ver y good. Chi namul. Doraji namul, duduk muchim, marinated shredded squid, pancake, soysauce chicken jorim, fried squid tempura.Love this place for their kimbap rice rolls. Even though it's more than 30 mins away from home, they are delicious and so worth it.“

“I love this location! I always order from here and never have been disappointed. Everything is always fresh and delicious. I was surprised when ordered a birthday cake that they provided with candles and a match for the cake and pie server spatula all for free. How sweet is that.“

“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.“

“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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“We worked with Joe to put together a tea reception after our wedding ceremony, and we couldn't have been happier! The pastries themselves were so delicious and very pretty (my personal favourites were the mini-cupcakes). And, Joe was a pleasure to work with, very communicative and upfront. We had to switch things up last minute from having the food out on display to having it packaged and handed out, and Joe and his team did a fantastic job pivoting, even coming up with a cute little QR code sticker with the menu for each box. We'll definitely be going back 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!“

“Can not go wrong ordering any dessert from Bredenbeck’s. We get all our daughter’s birthday cakes and go there for ice cream during the summer.“

“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.“

“I love cookies from here!!

Vegetarian options: I’m not sure I understand

Dietary restrictions: Very good no milk options

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

Kid-friendliness: They have child decorations

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps and assessibility from the side door“

“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! ❤️ 🔥“

“We love the croissant and bagels! Can’t wait to try more yummy things next week! And it’s AMAZING to have delivery.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!“

“My sweetheart and I went here on our second date. The original plan was to meet at Dead King Bread in Manyunk, and then hike in the Wissahickon. Dead King was closed, however, and my sweetheart quickly suggested Roma Cafe as an alternative. I'm ashamed to say that I never knew about this bakery. When I think of Italian bakeries, I typically think of South Philly. This is the real deal. An interior that harkens back to earlier times, and probably owners that harken back to an earlier time!

It was here that I discovered that my sweetheart is extravagant with treats, especially sweets. As a bit of a minimalst, I chose a rather bland biscuit. He chose an array of half a dozen treats, including canolies.

When we eventually made our way to the Wissahickon, we discovered that we had each packed more treats for the hike - cheese, grapes. He brought the most wonderful brie from Trader Joes that was as soft and gooey as if you had baked it in the oven. I noted with approval that he was equipped with a good picnic bag, as was I.

As we walked through the Wissahickon, I was captivated by his friendliness to everyone we passed on the trails, including the dogs.

Everything was delicious, and I appreciated that the canolis were petite in size!“

“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!!!!“

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

“Visited this establishment for the first time and I LOVE IT. My granddaughter daughter talked about Mochi donuts ? and booba teas.. we got so much, from donuts, smooties to hot cheeto corn dogs.. everything was delicious. Not to mention, my daughter left her purse there early in the day (yes we we twice in 1 day ??‍♀️) and we didn't know it. Customer service was excellent. Atmosphere is very welcoming. Also love the art work on the wall.“

“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 purchased an assortment of macarons for a party and the guests loved them. Several said they were the best they had ever had!“

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

“First time trying crumbl and this location was close by so we stopped in. I didn’t like it was only a few selections to choose from saying though we wanted to give our honest review. They were nice and warm I can say and great presentation. I just wish I could have tried more flavors. The churro was my favorite by far and the cookies an cream cheesecake not so much. I will return soon to try any new flavors.“

“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.“

“I ordered my husband's birthday cake from Ann's Cake Pan and it was delicious. It was a chocolate cake with hazelnut filling and vanilla buttercream. Bill was extremely helpful with taking my order. I am making this my birthday cake stop for now on. I'm sad that I lived in Warrington for 6 years and didn't know this tasty establishment existed. I'm going to refer everyone here! Thank you for making my husband's birthday special.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 their home made food“

“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!“

“the best tasting cannolis pastries are amazing“

“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!“

“Tomato pie like no other! Absolutely delicious cheesesteak and pepperoni bites and dont even get me started on the italian rum cake. Absolutely wonderful owner! She is such a sweetheart and doesnt hesitate to make things right. Always worth the 30 minute drive! 10/10 ‼️“
