50 Best Bakeries near Folcroft

“My husband recently stumbled on this shop. I’m 8 months pregnant and have been craving cheesecake. He ended up bringing me home a strawberry cheesecake. It was absolutely delicious. I sent him back the next day to get me the strawberry banana pudding. Would highly recommend. Will definitely be having him go back for more.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Gina makes the BEST rosemary cheddar scones you will ever find! All the treats in the shop are so tasty and baked with love, but the scones are outstanding! Gina and her staff are so sweet and friendly, that the “Sweets” of their Sweets on Darby name refers as much to the people as it does to the delightful pastries she bakes. Such a cute inviting shop with an amazing staff and delicious treats all wrapped up in one place❤️❤️“

“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!!!!“

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

“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!“

“The officially unofficial best boba spot in Chinatown. Reason why? They use fresh fruit for their boba. Nice cuts of mango or tea taro. Plus their bakery items are delicious.

Protip: this is one of only 3-4 of the Chinese bakeries in the area that do steamed meat buns. And in my opinion, the best tasting and bang for buck.

if you get the taro or mango bubble tea, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy!“

“Excellent service, excellent Baker. A true and delightful Patisserie.“

“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!“

“Wonderful. She has gluten free perfected!!!!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The chocolate pretzel is overrated if you ask me. It’s not bad, it just looks better than it tastes. The hazelnut croissant however, is really good. The coffee is not bad, and the service is pretty good. It’s a cute little bakery with some small French bistro tables by the window and a couple of small booths on the other side. I have to be back to try their crepe though, I heard good things.“

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

“We grabbed an assortment of desserts ad cookies that barely made it home of the train! The Eagles themed cookies were a big hit at a paper the next day, and the cannoli were top level. Very patient staff as we tried to decide. Can't wait to go back!“

“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 is awesome. Staff was very friendly. Everything we had tasted great. No need to go anywhere else. There is a reason they win best of county every year.“

“Delicious and fresh Brazilian dessert“

“Stopped by the Swedesboro location for the first time today. I showed up 10 minutes after they opened and there were only a few cupcakes left. Basically sold out within 15 minutes of opening. That’s how you know they’re good! I got a Lucky Charm cupcake and a chocolate cupcake. But those weren’t all I went for… I got an assortment of 12 macarons. So far I have only tried 1- the blood orange. It was fantastic! The staff member working was very kind & helpful. I cannot wait to go back. If you are to go make sure you go early. Get there before they open or within a half hour of them opening. Their products go fast! It was well worth the trip. I look forward to visiting again soon!“

“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!“

“Buche de Noel is excelent. I buy a cake here for any special ocasion and always I am extremely satisfied with the taste, presentation and service. I drive from Philadelphia to Ardmore just to enjoy Delice et Chocolat.“

“Everything from Frangellis is amazing. Highly recommended.“

“Oh my goodness! We are from out of town and this bakery is just one block away from our Airbnb. Stopped by today and got the cheesesteak with sauce and onions, and the buffalo chicken cheesesteak just to try it out. It was absolutely delicious! We have one more day in Philadelphia and will be going by first thing tomorrow morning for a couple more before we leave. If you have not tried them out, you need to make it a priority. So so good!“

“got a 6-pack, first time trying (had a gift card). i'd say it's worth the money if you're getting one cookie as a snack, or you're getting a pack for a sizeable group of people to share. both my wife and i tapped out after eating 1 cookie (chocolate chip - delicious), when at insomnia we'd usually eat 2-3 each for a dessert. if you don't like thicker cookies, these are not for you - though it has a cookie texture, they're almost like mini cakes. but again, if you're looking for a more filling cookie, i'd pay the extra $1 to get it over insomnia's.“

“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.“

“Absolutely love this bakery! They offer handmade treats that you won’t just find at any grocery store bakery, but instead a real nice and upscale mini bakery. Their menu items often change, incorporating new and exciting ideas often. Some yummy ones that I tried are tiramisu, pavlova, caramel cheesecake, pumpkin cheesecake, fruit tarts, and more! They also offer unique beverages such as a hibiscus flavored lemonade and a minty sprite. Not to mention they also offer crepes which I have yet to try but I bet they’re delicious.“

“Always a delight and best gelato outside of Italy 🇮🇹“

“I had a cup cakes kit and fig bars delivered as a gift. The products were delicious and fun. Presentation was great. The gift package delivered to the wrong house. The customer service, friendliness and follow up was also excellent. Great place.“

“Lovely little neighborhood coffee spot. Delicious coffee, great service, cute atmosphere....and it always smells *amazing*!I can't speak to the bakery section due to a gluten allergy, but my friends who have eaten here say the food is really good!“

“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!!!!“

“Great food, incredibly friendly staff and wonderful atmosphere. Highly, highly recommend.“

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

“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!“

“Ordered a birthday cake for my mom’s 50th from Kia’s and I cannot recommend them more. I worked with Rachel, and she was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to fulfill my requests. The cake was BEAUTIFUL, and absolutely delicious. Our guests raved!! Also, I want to say that the staff at Kia’s is so friendly and nice. Such a wonderful atmosphere. Will absolutely be coming back!!“

“Had the salted caramel doughnut bc my wife wanted a taste. Caramel is never MY first choice, but it was quite possibly the best pastry I’ve ever eaten.“

“We loved our pound cakes from here! They were delicious. This was one of the businesses my school choose to support and the kids loved it. We can't wait to support as individuals in the future. The prompt response, flexibility of pickup and overall joy we experienced has made us customers for life. Thank you for everything!“

“Staff is pretty friendly and although it is a pretty small booth, it looks pretty and organized. I tried pre ordering online and kept saying no biscuits available so I had to go in person. Biscuits are the reason to come, buttery and fluffy .“

“Everyone loved the pecan vanilla bourbon pie, it was a success for Thanksgiving, and their homemade granola is my wife favorite“

“This place is great. The ice cream is delicious, and the cones make it even better.

Small space, big flavor, and the prices aren't unreasonable.

Kid-friendliness: Seems like an ice cream shop in the 50's.“

“They make ordering easy and have given me a beautiful wedding cake and an amazing Cupcake-cake for a birthday party. I have ordered similar cakes from two other local bakeries and Weinrich’s tastes better and the experience of ordering and pickup was much less stressful here.“

“It’s rare for me to enjoy an untoasted bagel but the bagels here are high quality and totally delicious untoasted. I just had a sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese, and I’ve been dreaming of it for days. Next time I’m in Philly, I will be back.“
