50 Best Bakeries near Norwood

“OMFG, OMFG!!! These brownies are literally TO DIE FORRRR… I don’t even attempt to make brownies at home anymore because nothing compares to Goodie Delights!! My husband is completely hooked as well!! Tabetha is sooo super sweet and flexible. She responds very quickly and gets you the product in no time! She offers local meeting or even delivery!! 13/10 Highly recommend!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“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! ❤️ 🔥“

“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!!!!“

“Delicious and fresh Brazilian dessert“

“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“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

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

“First time in and the baked goods are amazing! I especially enjoyed the chicken salad croissant! Definitely check this place out!“

“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!“

“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.“

“My favorite local bakery! Their baked goods are consistently tasty, and I can't speak highly enough of the Father's Day tiramisu cake roll!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“I grew up half a block away .It’s as good as it was back then. what a great family! They don’t make them like this anymore. Over 50 years ago as a child I would run up to Joe and he would have cream puffs in his hands behind his back l was a regular visitor and now I am supporting his current family much love and great memories!

“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.“

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

“Everything from Frangellis is amazing. Highly recommended.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Had this for the first time at the Port Richmond Birthday Fest and it was absolutely delicious. Well worth it to stop in and get something“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“So I didn’t purchase from SophistiCakes but my brothers girlfriend did for his surprise party on Saturday. I had to leave a review. It was the most delicious cake I have ever tasted. Everything was *chefs kiss* she ordered a cake that was 1/2 chocolate chip 1/2 chocolate with chocolate icing. I’m going to be thinking about how good this cake is for a while. Lol“

“YUM YAWN! 😋 Love it i💖💖💖💖“

“I called from Iowa today and the sweetest girl answered. I wanted to order a cake for an older gentleman who didn’t have a very good birthday. The girl was so polite and told me she would check with her boss about delivery. In a few minutes she called back and told me they would be able to deliver the cake TODAY!!!! He got it and was thrilled💕Thank you so much!!!! Top notch customer service 💕💕💕💕“

“Yet another hidden gem in Philly. I came in for the first time today by chance and immediately felt so so so welcomed into the space. It is much smaller of a space than Madis Coffee Roasters (Twisted Grounds has only a few small tables to sit), but the staff is equally as kind, friendly, talkative, and enjoyable to be around. You can quickly tell that the team here has a great rapport with each other, and it makes the atmosphere comfortable and fun to be in. They have super cute merch and engaging conversations. I'm excited for this to be one of my regular haunts in Philly. The manager runs this place like a well-oiled machine.“
