50 Best Bakeries near Swarthmore

“This bakery is incredible. Haven’t tried an item I didn’t like. The owner, Robert, takes pride in his craft and I say craft because he’s a true baker and expert in this space. A true gem in Swarthmore. Check it out!“

“Cakeposer is a really great local spot with some of the nicest owners around. They are welcoming, friendly, and clearly put a lot of care into what they do. The coffee is consistently good and makes it an easy stop even on its own. The treats are just as good, with beautifully made cakes and pastries that are flavorful without being too sweet. Definitely a local favorite and a place I’m always happy to return to.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“They are a great bakery..“

“Last Saturday, January 31st, I was invited to a cake decorating party/course at Pound Cake Heaven. Ms. Pam and Ms. Tony were such gracious hosts, introducing us to the shop, the history of this amazing Black woman-owned company, and recent projects like for the US Navy's 250th Anniversary cake! Melanie expertly taught our group of amateur and semi-professional cake bakers how to decorate a 2 layered cake. The butter cream smelled and tasted delicious and so did the cake overall! I would definitely recommend the course and bake goods! Thank you all so much for such an enjoyable time!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“highlight? delicious cakes!“

“Great food and service, love supporting black owned businesses that act like businesses. Oxtail boil, it ain't just cakes with them but I've ordered those too.“

“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!“

“Strawberry crunch cake with the cheese cake middle“

“Placed an order after seeing posts in local community groups Made contact and was given several options with a prompt response. Chose our item and picked up as scheduled ready to go. Neatly packaged ready to serve at our meeting upon arrival. Needless to say there were none left! The 40 cannolis were amazing we will be ordering again You definitely should give her a try“

“Adele was a jewel to work with. And my gosh, the chocolate caramel cake and raspberry/lemon and Bailey's cupcakes! We had the cake and 2 dozen cupcakes for a surprise get together. It was a dream to work with the ladies at The Ultimate Bake Shoppe and the cake/cupcakes were out of this world! Everyone raved about them and I found it hard to pick a favorite. If you ever need cakes, etc. look no further! Sarah Burch“

“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.“

“They've got a really nice selection of pastries, including some savory ones. The service was super quick, and you can sit either inside or out. The pastries we tried were delicious and fresh! However, I wouldn't recommend the Barbecue Korean pizza, and the pastry with the hash brown was a little dry. But the good thing is, they offer a way to warm things up. There are tables to enjoy pastries both inside and outside, and they also have a good selection of coffee!“
