Pastry Shop at Walnut Hill College

Went Apr 26 '25. Wonderful!

This place should be CLOSED DOWN permanently! It makes no sense for these pastries to be so fresh, so moist and so flavorful. People can actually get addicted to this place and get caught up in a sweet tooth epidemic! I highly recommend trying this place out but you have been warned!

I wanted to get a birthday cake for my son but no help No assistance from the shop Vendor she was even not smiling or anything i felt inconfortable and what i was told over the phone was not the same when i came there . But i tasted the Pastry it was good except the Vendor was 👎

The chocolate mousse was so creamy. The carrot cake was also good. Really liked the cherry fruit danish.

Super cute, super cozy, and super delicious! Found this place accidentally and tried some of their cookies. Loved all of them. Came back for brunch. Absolutely loved everything I got.

Sanitation is an issue. I visited this location one morning and one of the employees blew her nose and proceeded to help customers (touching pastries). I informed another employee and she completely ignored my concern. This is disgusting! I will not dine her ever again.

Delicious breakfast and pastries. I'm a regular. Closed Sundays and all summer.

There is nowhere else in the city that has such a high caliber of pastries, bread and prepared food at this price point. And the staff are always super friendly to boot. Truly a gem of a spot.

Awsome. Delicious cake with nice prices

Can't wait to try other pasties!
Love the cake roulette.

The best chocolate croissant I’ve had in the city so far and a great price.

My go to for DELICIOUS and professional pastries, cookies, cakes, I even did a custom order for mini entremets for a work party and it was a huge hit. Would also give props to their in house breakfast, lunch and dinner-- all are worth carving out time for to try. Of note, they do close for the summer school break (end of June until early Sept I believe, call and check before heading over) and you need to call custom cake orders at least 3 days in advance (I suggest a full work week). If you're not picky you can just show up and buy whatever cakes are in the case that morning, all VERY reasonably priced. Best place in town for cakes IMHOAnd they are very affordable but not lacking whatsoever in quality or craftsmanship (got a sheet cake for $50!!!)

As a former student from 2002-2004, I can honestly say you will learn much and have a fantastic time. Philadelphia has so much to offer.
