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.“

“The sweet treats are INSANE. Best rugelach in the universe!“

“Been searching for a local 떡집, lo and behold Nakwon. Discovered it by purchasing their product from the Upper Darby Hmart, I ended up liking it enough to find the brick and mortar store. Definitely recommend you give it a try, the lady who works there is really nice.“

“The food and atmosphere are amazing.“

“This is a true banchan spot, and the kimchi is outstanding.

You can immediately taste the difference—well-balanced seasoning, deep fermentation, and that perfect blend of freshness and richness. It’s not overly salty or sour, just clean, bold, and addictive. The kind of kimchi that makes you want extra rice.

All the side dishes are made with care, but the kimchi alone is worth the visit. It tastes homemade, traditional, and consistently good.

If you appreciate good Korean side dishes, especially excellent kimchi, this place is a must.

Highly recommended.“

“today I was there in the afternoon and it was very rewarding the attention and all its posts, I got a Macha latte and Some desserts were divine especially the attention of the guy who attended me, was very kind and sweet, was aware of me all the time, greetings from me the girl in the pink coat and the sneakers UGG 🫶“

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

“I'll admit, I'm a donut skeptic. So many places over promise and/or have crazy toppings, but the donuts themselves are so-so. Mighty Bread's Sweet Potato Brioche Boston Cream was probably the best donut I've ever had. On top of that, the service was super friendly and the atmosphere was really cute!“

“the best around. being going to them for over 30 years. worth the drive!!!!“

“This bakery is the cleanest bakery I have ever walked in. It is so homey inside and you can tell they care about their customers. I travel 30 minutes to come here and it is well worth the drive!“

“Stumbled upon this bakery on a walk. The pastry options were different than you normally see at other places. There was a more unique variety.

I tried the Carrot Yogurt Safeha $7 (roasted carrots, topped with herby yogurt sauce, zatar, walnuts, and olive oil). This was delicious! I ate the first half heated and the second half hours later. Still delicious! The carrots were soft and sweet. The yogurt was not too overpowering.

I plan to come back for another one and to try some other options!

(update 06/2026)
Kashkawan Cheese Safeha (kashkawan, halloumi, herby labneh, hot honey, nigella seeds) $7 - we enjoyed this heated up. Would get again.

Lahm B'ajin (ground beef and spices fulled topped with rahini, onion sumac and green salad) $8 - enjoyed this but would opt to try something new next time. It was heated up but maybe it would have been better if the beef was warmed up a little long“

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

“This bakery never disappoints! Both of my girls loved your Gryffindor cupcakes at Harry Potter days in the early 2000s. You made a gorgeous celestial cake for my oldest during the pandemic and, most recently, a beautiful and delicious 25th birthday cake with the F1 theme she asked for. Thank you for such consistent quality over the years! ❤️“

“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.“

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

“I’m really surprised that this location has so many bad reviews. I’ve seen people complain about being cut off from standing in line an hour before close. I think it’s important to note that, with an HOUR wait time in line, the staff shouldn’t have to stay past close to service you. Cutting the line off an hour before close enables them to get through the rest of the line by closing time and to go home at a decent time.

Everyone wants to try a piece of Crumbl. Considering the hype and the high-density population of Cherry Hill and the surrounding area, it should come as no surprise that this place has long lines and wait times.
This is the only location in South Jersey, so if you can deal with waiting, you’re in for a treat.

I came here for their soft opening and almost every week since then. The owner and staff are kind and make an efficient team. The cookies are well-made and of great quality. It’s always really fun finding out what the new flavors of cookies are every week and taking a 6-pack home to share and rate with my family.

I do wish that they had a better system for letting folks in the line know about certain flavors being out of stock. That’s my only note about improvement“

“Fresh and really good quality bread and bakery items, staff is super friendly and welcoming and the whole place has a really good environment, highly recommend if your trying to find a bakery in the area (Just get there early if possible for more options)“

“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 have conducted scientific research in philly's chinatown to find the best bakery (i went to every single one over the course of 3 days) and this is the one.

the coconut cream bun and custard bun are my personal favorites, ESPECIALLY when they are fresh and still warm 😭😭“

“Staff really are the best family!!! I ad a special request for a cake that was out of the norm. Strawberry shortcake with red velvet cake and mmmmmmm. Literally the best thing I ever had!! Everything in Cafe Roma is amazing! Love love love this bakery!!“

“Fast service, wide selection of baked goods! I got the almond croissant, mushroom and spinach quiche, olive oil cake, mocha, and cappuccino. The staff were friendly and the food and drinks came out super quick and delicious. Would come again.“

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

“Cash or Venmo only.

I got my favorite beef curry puff (puff pastry stuffed with beef curry) and my new favorite, a deep fried shrimp dumpling/egg roll thing. So so so good. Each item is about $2-3 and so good!
I just love this place.“

“If you love chocolate chip cookies, the best there is in the world is Levain. Born out NYC's Upper West Side, Levain is now throughout the East Coast. Walk inside this location and find a giant room with products for sale and all the pastries on display. If it's your first time, order the chocolate chip walnut one. It's their original. It always comes out warm and gooey inside. There's a little nook that fits a small group of people if you want to stay, but most people get their cookie to go.“

“The sweetest team!! Bonnie is such a delightful person and was very welcoming of our food tour group. She went over and beyond to customize our order for some guests who have dietary restrictions and baked everything perfectly-timed so that it was warm and fresh for our arrival. Our group loved their scones and we'll definitely be back for more treats and their bagels.“

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

“I cannot recommend Ferry Good Treats enough! The lemon cake with raspberry filling was absolutely incredible. It was so moist, flavorful, and you could truly tell it was homemade with love and care. The very first bite reminded me of the lemon cakes my great-grandmother used to make, which made it feel extra special and nostalgic. Not only did it taste amazing, but it was also beautifully decorated to perfectly match my “Thirty, Flirty, and Thriving” birthday theme. The attention to detail was beyond what I could have imagined. Ferry Good Treats helped make my 30th birthday feel so special, and I received so many compliments on the cake. I will absolutely be back to order for every occasion. Thank you for creating such a beautiful and delicious centerpiece for my celebration!“

“The service was great and the women behind the counter were amazing! I will definitely come back when I am in the area again.“

“Delicious and fresh Brazilian dessert“

“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!“

“amazing fresh delicious pastries and desserts. The mini Pavlovas are outstanding, also love the apple strudel. The Napoleon will be my next test, it looks amazing! I'm happy to find this great place in the area with such affordable QUALITY, I plan to keep tasting many more things“

“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.“

“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.“

“Our wedding cake turned out so beautifully, and our guests loved it! Thank you so much for perfectly bringing our vision to life :)“

“After my first bite of the breakfast Sammy, I started taking pictures because I knew I’d leave a review. Esp. With the Pellegrino Lemonata soda in the skinny can. Second Bite and your traveling. Take a sip of the Lemonata “ta da” you’re at the foot of the lift that takes you up for what you came for in Capri. Warning: Airfare not included“

“I've been buying from Isgros since 1975. Anyone who writes a bad review of this beloved bakery is likely to think the Grand Canyon is merely a hole in the ground. Don't believe any of their drivel. Maybe.....maybe!....they caught a bad batch of goods....but its highly unlikely. Everything sells out! How can stuff be stale? Impossible!! Everything they produce is simply sensational. I've never heard of any complaints from anybody who I know to be a regular customer. Pricing? Is that even worth mentioning? Does anyone gripe about the price of a Mercedes? The goods cost what they cost because they're high quality and delicious.“

“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 ‼️“

“I LOVE and 100% recommend The Famous 4th Street Cookie Company! Someone had their cookies mailed to me as a sympathy gift back in 2021. Since then, I myself have sent them to so many family and friends. Here are my top reasons for loving this company: 1. Their chocolate chip cookies are seriously so amazing! (and I am very particular about my chocolate chip cookies), 2. Their service is amazing! They respond to emails and phone messages really quickly and do what they can to help, 3. They are military friendly - whenever I need to ship to my nephew's military base in Alaska (which is very hard to get companies to deliver to by the way), they always help me out, get the shipping done quickly, and are super helpful. When my nephew gets the cookies in Alaska, they are always amazing. This is a great company that I will continue to use to send friends and family delicious gifts.“

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

“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!“

“The Lox of Love is fantastic. A little inconsistent, though. Sometimes I get lots of lox, sometimes hardly any :(. It’s a bit disappointing when it’s a pretty expensive bagel.

They have good bread for sale too, and delicious vegan pastries!“

“Ramona’s created a stunning Temple grad cake for my son and his friends. Not only was it perfect visually, but tasted phenomenal! Highly recommend!!!“

“GOOD PLACE FOR ICE CREAM THE BANANA PUDDING FLAVORED IS THE BEST WHENEVER I HAVE A SWEET TOOTH I GO TO SWEET EATS NEVER DISAPPOINTS:)“

“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!“

“This place was incredible. I was hungry and freezing when we got there. I got a croque monsuier ( fancy grilled cheese n ham with extra butter) delicious. A caramel macchiatto and a fruit tart. My Goodness...the cream and the pastry on that tart...problematic to say the least. So, so delicious. Very friendly atmosphere, very clean and efficient. I will definitely return. I just gotta be a little more regular at the gym.“

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

“I had an amazing time! I attended the Valentine’s Day cake decorating class and it exceeded my expectations. The instructions were phenomenal, and the food, appetizers, and drinks were amazing as well. Tatiana was so knowledgeable, personable, and engaging. She truly created a beautiful environment. I loved hearing her story and seeing her and her mom work together to put on such an incredible event.

I would recommend this 10 times over! No matter the time of year or the occasion, you will have an amazing experience.“

“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.“
