50 Best Bakeries near Lafayette Hill

“We purchased their items at a stand at a Horsham fair. We got a quite a few items all were delicious. They only had 2 Jewish apple cakes left when I got there. I bought 1. It was the best Jewish apple cake I ever had. I was sorry I didn't buy the other one.“

“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)!“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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!“

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

“I just had to leave a review to tell everyone how absolutely delicious your cupcakes are!!! Our family brought a variety for Easter dessert and they were the best cupcakes I have had in a very long time! Even better…they are PEANUT FREE!!!! This was the first time my son, 18 years old, had a cupcake from an actual bakery! That means the world to this mom!! I think he ate at least three!! Thank you so very much for your dedication to not only making amazing and delicious treats, but giving the peanut/nut free community a safe place to go to enjoy desserts. Although you are not local to us, I would take a trip to support such a wonderful LGBTQIA+, women-owned, and peanut free bakery!!!“

“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 go there to buy the tomato pie. I never buy less than two boxes which is a quarter pie each with nine slices sprinkled with cheese. I never thought to take a picture. Maybe I will next time and I’ll update this. They make the most amazing tomato pie! I did purchase a piece of baklava from them yesterday. I can can’t speak to how it tasted, but it was beautiful as I gave it away.“

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

“I just wanted to express how much I enjoyed the cookies I recently received! Not only were they delicious, but the packaging was also a lovely touch that made the experience of receiving them feel extra special. I would highly recommend these as a wonderful gift for someone special, or even as a treat to brighten your own day.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The food and atmosphere are amazing.“

“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 Ladies Group in our community hosted a Tea Party today and I ordered the scones and danish from Alice’s. First order from there for me! I can’t tell you how much the women loved everything. And Lizzie and Dennis were so great to work with. I highly recommend them.“

“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🫶🏼“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“FANTASTIC!!! We had 2 BEC - one on brioche, one as a wrap, eggs perfectly cooked and travel well. Also had yummlicious spinach quiche w/ side salad! All fresh and delicious! Highly recommend!!!“

“The best iced latte in the area.“

“I bought two cupcakes last night (red velvet and birthday cake), and they were so delicious . The icing wasn’t overwhelming sweet and the cupcake itself was so moist! Would definitely come back and try more sweets. Also the lady who took my order was so sweet and her customer service was awesome!“

“amazing place. love it 💯“

“I spent all morning reading the one-star reviews. Almost every one is from customers who praised decades of excellent cakes. I'm not kidding, every bad review says how good the cakes are. Over a hundred years, for good cause. Stop in and grab something good.“

“cannele de Bordeaux is always a wonderful treat“

“great all around ppl its pretzel pizza for me“

“Velvet Sky is a treasure. Jordan and her team are tremendously talented bakers whose creations are both delicious and true works of art! From cupcakes to Thanksgiving pies to custom cakes, Velvet Sky makes any occasion special.“

“We loved the venue!!! Recommend!“

“Just picked up some Everything Philly Muffins from the bread window to take to a friend. Super service, friendly and fast. Plus I could see trays of freshly baked bread & rolls that had just come from the ovens. Love having a bread window in the neighborhood!“

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

“Good service Good cookies Yummy pop“

“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.“

“Excelente servicio. Muy buena atención!“

“Amazing desserts! (mousse cakes are a speciality!) Plus savory food and great drinks!“

“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.“

“Actually 4.5 though it's really good and authentic. All the Hong Kong/Cantonese classics done well and fresh every morning including the bbq pork bun, cocktail bun, pineapple bun, and custard tart. The exception was the sesame ball that appeared good size but was mostly dough when more sweet bean paste filling is expected.“

“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!“

“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 .“

“GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE+1 (855)-890 6096 NO NONSENSE AND GREAT ASSISTANCE!!!“
