“10/10 experience! There’s so many cute desserts and drinks to choose from. I got the “matcha delight” which is matcha, coconut milk and lime. It was so good I can’t recommend it enough! I also got the little bunny cake with was like a layer of cake, a layer of strawberry pudding and a layer of mousse. It was so cute, relaxing and cozy inside with plenty of seating. Also plenty of parking in the front and back. Staff were super friendly and I will definitely be back!“

“I was in the area and decided to pop by to try a thing or two. Not knowing anyone who had tried them before I stuck to the small, individual sized items…browned butter chocolate chip cookies, morning croissant and some pizza dough. It all comes frozen but I had other places to go so some started defrosting in the car. Here’s my review of each. Cookies - I don’t like ANY chocolate chip cookie that doesn’t have nuts in them. I usually wouldn’t even buy them, I decided to try these because of the browned butter. I had one in the car before I got home and they were AMAZING! I shocked myself at how much I enjoyed them. They were soft without being chewy, a feature I hate in cookies personally, and had nice crispy edges, even after defrosting! The taste, texture and everything about these defied all that I thought was possible with a gf cookie! 10 out of 10 Pizza dough - since it was defrosted by the time I got him I decided to make a couple mini pizzas. I used half the dough, I bag will easily make 4-5 personal sized pizzas. I thought I had rolled it too thin as it started to break apart so I made it a little thicker. It rises while cooking so when I do the rest, I’ll leave it thinner for sure. Because other gf pizzas seem to have such difficulty cooking in the city I was concerned when I saw these rising. But they cooked up beautifully! It was soooo nice having gf pizzas seem that had the taste and texture of traditional crust. I appreciate suppliers for having the option available, and some are better than others…but the Flakely dough is the standard now! I’ll never buy another gf pizza, whether it be a restaurant or a market. 10 out of 10 Morning croissant - I put this right in the freezer so I haven’t tasted it yet. But it looks phenomenal! They described it as a cross between a cinnamon roll and a croissant. You can’t go wrong with that combo as a general thing but given how the cookie and pizza dough has tasted, I have no doubt this will be terrific as well! Run, don’t walk, over to their shop and let’s make sure they’re around for the long haul. Just beware, they might spoil you against some of your existing faves!“

“If you haven’t been to Mochi Heaven, you’re missing out! From the warm welcome to the incredible flavors, every visit is a treat. The food is fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with bold, unforgettable taste. Whether you’re craving your favorites or trying something new, you’ll be hooked from the first bite. Amazing service, great atmosphere, and food that keeps you coming back—Mochi Heaven truly lives up to its name! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A must-try!“

“We hosted our son's 1st birthday party at Le Mignon and it could not have been a better venue. The owners were so kind and extremely accommodating. We brought our own catering and drinks, as well as had a balloon arch and backdrop set up. In addition to the pizza, juice boxes and cupcakes included, they also helped us completely re-organize all the furniture in the store to fit our guests' needs. We had the whole playroom completely to ourselves and it was awesome. All the kids loved it! Highly recommend. I also included photos of the playroom before set up too to show the layout.“

“Wow! So good! Just stopped at the new location on West Chester Pike. I could not be more satisfied.“

“I would grittyerally go here every day if I could, and now their new location is closer to me, so I don't even have to go all the way up to Manayunk to get the world's best sweet treats. Every time I need a birthday cake for someone I come here. Also did you know their head chef was the chef in residence at the Philadelphia Museum of Art??!“

“Always something new and delicious to try here! The chocolate almond croissant is particularly incredible. Wonderful owners and lovely staff.“

“The best ice cream shop in our area hands down. Very nice portions, and the waffle cones are tasty.
The cookies are very solid as well (except perhaps the blended one).
Closed for the season during the winter, but we visit often when it is open.“

“Crumbl have some good cookies, I love the variety of options for their flavors weekly! This is my 3rd time having crumbl and Everytime there were a few I loved and a few I didn't but that's okay. Overall I recommend buying, even if it's a little pricey.“

“I love just love this place and their cakes. Very tasty beautiful and great served. Thank god they are 40 minutes away from me. Otherwise I would be there every day.“

“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.“

“The u shaped bar is a nice touch! The chairs at the bar aren’t as comfortable. The food was flavorful. My cauliflower wings were very good. My meal just wasn’t as hot as I’d liked upon receipt. Good short rib sauce. The expresso martini was pretty good.“

“We hosted ~20 people from out of town for a team dinner and it was wonderful to have Dan & DiFabios help us have a space to mingle, eat & have drinks with everybody traveling out of town for marathon weekend we really wanted a space for just that. From accommodating our party (including kiddos) to the great service - we were so happy with the food, service & Dan helping us reserve the space!“

“Sticky buns, birthday cakes, jelly doughnuts are crazy good! My little niece always requests the cupcakes w colored sugar and a butterfly ring.“

“Relative pastry prices have risen in last couple of years, so it would be accurate to label this place as $$. (not $). Everything is very sweet. Of course, this is a bakery, but even so, would be even better with less sugar.“

“ordered a Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake and it was fantastic! I wholeheartedly recommend Pound Cake Heaven❤“

“Best strawberry shortcake ever. I ordered a half a sheet cake of strawberry shortcake for my daughters baptism yesterday and it was absolutely the best strawberry shortcake I’ve ever had and everyone else agreed thank you so much for the delicious cake“

“My slot machine cake was incredible and it tasted fabulous. Great experience working with Imagicakes Cake Designers“

“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 highly recommend Sugar + Fire!!! They went above and beyond to deliver their incredible vegan cookies to my daughter for her birthday!!! I ordered the cookie box and my daughter said it’s amazing! Thank you Sugar + Fire, you are wonderful ❤️“

“Nice staff. They will take you in right away. Quick at loading/unloading. Someone else mentioned before, better to turn around on Veteran Dr and then back up in to the yard because YES it is tight and there is no room to maneuver in the yard. I guess you can back up on to the docks for overnight parking.
Good luck!“

“I just stopped by for the first time this evening for my birthday bundtlet & unfortunately arrived a few minutes late not realizing you close at 6, but when i approached the door the worker opened it for me & i explained it was my birthday & they offered to grab me a bundlet! i really appreciated that & they were so nice for doing that. thank you!“

“I was introduced to these cookies years ago, and they have become my go-to choice for special occasions for many reasons. First, they are absolutely delicious! Second, I appreciate their business practices. Just yesterday, I ordered some cookies, and although they usually ship the next day, they weren't able to get into the shop due to the ice. I received a thoughtful phone call from a man named Mike. He informed me that they typically do not ship on Fridays, but given the inclement weather, they would be making an exception. He even apologized for the delay. You rarely get this kind of courtesy call from businesses anymore.“

“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.“

“My mother & I came here for breakfast while we were waiting for my chinchilla to have a procedure done at the vet close by. Wow! We both had the Waldorf salad. I had mine on sourdough bread & she hers on a bed of lettuce with the tarragon chicken salad as well. Absolutely amazing. The chai latte was also great. I did not catch the barista’s name, but she was very helpful and friendly as well. All around great experience at the elegance cafe!“

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

“Great people and great coffee! What more can I say in a Facebook recommendation? Hook an IV to me with that sunrise blend? Good stuff.“

“SUGARED prepared the most delicious and beautiful dessert table for my daughter’s holy communion. We had a custom cake, brownies, cookies, cupcakes, and mini cheesecakes. I was asked all night where everything was from and received compliments on how delicious everything was. I have never thrown a party where every last piece of cake was eaten and this was the event it happened for! Sha was amazing to work with when designing my vision and knocked it out of the park!!!“

“I have absolutely no idea who Benson Boone is, but I love his cookie collaboration with crumble, maybe he's in the wrong business, he should definitely be making desserts not songs. Crumble cookies are super soft, delicious, and sugary, my mom and dad and I all loved them!“

“This is definitely my new go-to bakery for a long time. I wanted to get some last minute cupcakes for my son's birthday and the owner not only whipped up these bad boys but engaged in a real conversation with us. As a first-time customer, I look for things like that. It goes a long way. Thanks Birthday Cakes & Things. I'll definitely be returning the next time I'm in need for y'all & will gladly refer ppl's.“
