50 Best Bakeries near Bryn Mawr

“The OG cookie shop-insomnia and crumble have a lot to learn from Hopes! It’s been around forever and it was just as good as I remember. I stopped by for my daughter’s birthday treat. Expensive but not crazy. It’s an indulgence. The service was ok, but nowadays service is not great at most places.Parking: Parking is off of main road and an be a little dangerous.“

“They serve a demanding clientele who can afford to get their baked goods anywhere yet the place is always busy.In my experience over the last 20+ years they have never disappointed.Outstanding quality and reliable results every time.Prepare to be delighted. Their buttercream icing is sublime.Great service from nice people’s too.“

“Good when it's good but not consistent lately, sometimes the bagels are overcooked a little and end up less chewy. When they are made well its the best bagel around. I really like their whitefish salad and veggie cream cheese on an everything bagel. Tasty especially if you like garlic.“

“From the tasting to after the wedding, Bredenbeck’s was amazing! The cake came out EXACTLY how I expected it to. It was beautiful! And it tasted amazing! All of my guests really loved every layer (each one was a different flavor). We had a small issue with the filling but Bredenbeck’s rectified the issue right away and took accountability! I look forward to visiting them for another cake order in the future!“

“It is hard to articulate the artistry that went into the creation of my very special birthday cake but the Night Kitchen Bakery did it. I had a special birthday this year and some great friends were flying in to help me celebrate. I had traveled with these friends and had many wild experiences, one of which was a very specific picture this fantastic bakery not only replicated flawlessly but made it oh so much better. Yes the cake photo attached is a cake - a DELICIOUS mocha cake that was as good as the artistry was on the outside. If you want a delicious cake, they're the place to go to. And if you want something out of the park special to complement that delicious cake, there is no other choice that Night Kitchen Bakery. Thank you so so much!“

“202403/04I don't know what their vegan lox is made of but it is freaking delicious and I'm positive if I just handed the lox of love to someone on the street they would NOT be able to tell the whole thing is meatless. It was so darn good!! Also tried their pistachio rose cookie and jasmine peach scone in March and they were delicious as well! Our forever favorite neighborhood spot!202302Today I tried cheesesteak and Phillywide (sausage egg and cheese sandwich), both are vegan! Cheesesteak $14 is made with black bird seitan. It tastes like chicken at first glance, but it looks like gluten when you eat it seriously, but overall it’s delicious.Phillywide $12 It’s delicious with beyond sausage and the eggs are pretty real too!202209There are no bakeries in this area. This opening makes me grizzly excited!I didn’t look at the details carefully, but buying two scones, two muffins, a biscuit sandwich and two bagels totaled $23, which I thought was a good deal! There are also many types of pastries and bagels. Many of the items are vegan. I really like them. The pastries are delicious. Everything and the salt+rosemary bagels taste a little salty to me.“

“Gina makes the BEST rosemary cheddar scones you will ever find! All the treats in the shop are so tasty and baked with love, but the scones are outstanding! Gina and her staff are so sweet and friendly, that the “Sweets” of their Sweets on Darby name refers as much to the people as it does to the delightful pastries she bakes. Such a cute inviting shop with an amazing staff and delicious treats all wrapped up in one place❤️❤️“

“Just moved into the neighborhood & decided to take a walk. I saw this tucked inside a little shopping center & now I regret it. Should have stuck with Dunkin Donuts bc after eating an everything bagel w/cream cheese from there, I’m addicted. I almost walked back for another one it was that good AND I don’t want to be addicted to another carb. Lol. I more than likely will get my fix tomorrow. Great customer service & very friendly. I have a new bagel place.“

“The hype is real!! The best biscuits I’ve ever had in my life! We tried the coffee cake biscuit and it literally was next level. She was so kind to us and the food was perfect! Thank you biscuit lady , we’ll be seeing you soon!! Sal and Cara ❤️“

“I lived in Seattle for almost two decades and will admit to being a bit of a coffee shop snob. The Nook hits so many of my high points. Extremely good locally roasted coffee (in-house!). Amazing baked goods. The cocoa coffee bread must be tried, but leave me a slice! Great staff. If I ever move out of the neighborhood, I'll journey to the Nook for a great cup and bite.“

“Flakely is not your typical gluten free bakery. Here you'll give an outstanding assortment of croissants, bagels, brioche, in addition to white sandwich loafs and more.Check their website for pickup or walk-up hours and product availability.“

“I didn't even put in my custom order yet. But I just have to say this place is so good! The service was good. The shop itself is cute. And the cupcakes that I tasted, tastes like these people bake out of love for their neighborhood! Yup, putting in my order now!!????????? More to come...“

“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!“

“LOVE the cookies here - owner is super cool as well. Way better than many other cookie places out there - you know who I mean!My favorite is the Snickerdoole and the Smores. Also a pro they use way cleaner ingredients than almost any other bakery around!“

“You know this place is popular when there are people waiting outside the door at 9am right before this place opens. It was my first time here and upon arriving, 2 people were waiting to get in and 3 more trickled in minutes later. A line started to form and people are trying to get the tomato pie. I place an order for the regular tomato pie a few days ago over the phone but when I went to pick it up they didn't have my name. Luckily they had extras so I didn't have to order another. My friends really enjoyed the tomato pie so it's definitely as good as people say. Just be sure to double check the day before if you placed an order with them.“

“This hidden gem of a pastry shop is starting to make a big name for itself. The word is out that this is the must try bakery in Swarthmore. Nestled behind a home in Swarthmore this adorable little pastry shop fills the whole neighborhood with the smell of croissants, muffins, cupcakes and more. The owner greets all customers with a giant smile. You can eat in the magical garden or take it to go! We got cupcakes and a chocolate brownie that was to die for! Put Pastry Pants on your To Do list! You will not regret it.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free optionsParking: Behind the house on Cornell, open the gate and follow the sweet smell to the bakery.Kid-friendliness: A kids dream! Yum!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair accessible.“

“This gluten-free bakery is a dream come true! With a wide variety of options to choose from, including vegan treats, there's something for everyone. The friendly staff adds to the welcoming atmosphere, making every visit a delight. But the best part? The taste! Despite being gluten-free and some options vegan, the flavors are absolutely divine. Whether you're gluten intolerant or simply love delicious baked goods, this bakery is a must-visit.“

“I am not one to leave a review but I must share how amazing this bakery was to work with and how beautiful and delicious their cake was! Not only were they able to accommodate my custom cake request super last minute but they brought the inspiration photo I sent them to life in the form of the most flavorful cake that left all our guests raving and wanting more. The only downside was the fact that we didn’t have any left over to enjoy the next day! This will for sure be our go to bakery going forward!“

“The man working behind the counter today was a KING. My friend and I stopped by for the first time and it was really close to closing. I was expecting to just kinda get in, fuel my sugar addiction, and leave. But this guy was LITERALLY. SO. NICE. We had a great conversation with him, and he was even kind enough to offer us two donuts and some cookies on the house. Not only that but those along with everything else we got tasted absolutely immaculateeee 10/10“

“Thank you Karen for sharing a little bit of heaven with all of us at Winfield Garage Doors! I had one of your white chocolate/cranberry cookies and it was the best. As the owner here, we are so happy to have you as a customer and we can't say enough about how delish your cookies are! Thanks for making such an amazing product! “

“Absolutely love it here. Consistently good food, lovely staff, quick service. I recommend getting a croissandwich for salty with any of their pastries for sweet (chocolate almond is a favorite). The owners are often coming up with new flavors to try and cute presentations like the photo I’ll attach from around Christmas. Our go-to for getting a treat in town. I can’t recommend it enough.Vegetarian options: Croissants, croissandwiches , Bahn-mi“

“Had a wonderful experience with Ale’s. I found them on a whim through Google, saw their amazing reviews and gave them a call! I ordered a Black Forest Cake for my dad’s birthday and it was WONDERFUL! The most beautiful cake, and it tasted just as good. My communication was via phone call and text, and payment was online. I placed the cake order a few days before pickup. I appreciated the quick turn request. All my family enjoyed the cake, and I can’t wait to celebrate with Ale’s Bakery again!“

“This small bakery is underrated in Norristown, I recently started coming in the mornings, they have delicious fresh buñuelos and empanadas. Recommend everyone one try this place. I will definitely continue to be a frequent customer to try more things in their menu! Friendly service and cleanliness is a plus!“

“This bakery was recommended as the best place for tres leches cake in the area and it didn't disappoint. I got a neapolitan and it was absolutely delicious! It was so fun to have three different cake flavors in one! I can't wait to go back with my family and sample some “

“I’m so impressed how they recently upgraded the quality of items from good to great! I’ve had multiple croissants that were delicious with amazing lamination and an almond tart that was also amazing. Bread is excellent quality. All well priced too!“

“Absolutely amazing place. The best amaretti cookies I have ever had. Nicest employees as well. We visited from Tennessee and they truly made us feel welcome and answered all of our questions. So excited they ship as well. Will definitely become a stop for us when we are in the city.“

“Giving this spot 5 stars across the board because I have no complaints and I absolutely love the vibe here. My drinks were good, however I did not get any food the three times I've been. The matcha latte was excellent and I really enjoyed the mocha latte!“

“Ashley’s Cake Shoppe is the best bakery I’ve ever been to in my life. Everything is so delicious. I’ve tried 3 different desserts. Peach cobbler, strawberry crumble cheese cake and another one I can’t remember the name. I’ve never been disappointed. I promise you won’t be either.“

“let me tell you, i found these people through darksome market and loved their chocolate cookies to DEATH. i’m lactose intolerant so just eating vegan sweets saves me trouble. my husband and best friend got me this cake and a batch of cookies from the bakery for my birthday and i couldn’t have been happier. everything tasted, looked, and was just amazing. thank you guys so much!“

“It’s difficult to find a place that offers unique breakfast options for people that like a nice sized breakfast. This place has the regular breakfast items and enough interesting/new items to keep me coming back. My husband was sold on the home made biscuits!“

“Ross is incredibly helpful and sets the bar high for other business owners. His passion for coffee and providing exceptional customer service is unquestionable, along with being a treasure trove of knowledge for those taking a dive into specialty coffee. The selection of coffees is always top notch, fresh and exciting with harvest dates and information always available. Highly recommend!“

“Everything we tried was perfectly baked and utterly delicious. Had a variety of pastries including the best sellers : almond croissant, strawberry crème croissant. My favorite was the Greek yogurt & cherry. Can’t wait to explore more flavors and other offerings….“

“Such a great place! I went a few months ago and things were good but OH MY!! I went again today and everything was AMAZING! We were one of the first people in shop and the selection was actually overwhelming! So many options and everything has been great so far. I’m actually a vegan bakery owner myself BUT when traveling love to try other treats & I was super happy about all the treats. Also, the staff working was super friendly, helpful and just overall great to chat with. I immediately texted a fellow vegan friend and sanctuary owner about my experience and what treats I grabbed so he knows to stop next time he’s in the area as well! ❤️❤️“

“I’ve been meaning to try this place for awhile and I’m glad I stopped in! Very friendly and accommodating staff and the owner was so welcoming and kind. He spent the time to greet my baby and me and even made a complimentary Greek yogurt and fruit dish for my baby. The food was so fresh and delicious. The coffee was very good as well. Felt like a small town cafe. Will be coming back every time I’m in the area! I hope they open another restaurant in Delaware County.“

“Straight up hidden gem in a random regular person neighborhood - makes you feel like you found your own secret to stumble upon this place.Pastries were to die for and priced right. Had to be just about the best lavender latte we ever had too. ☕️“

“I enjoy Highpoint so much. The food is always delicious. I love the savory quiches. I’m pretty plain ordering herb tea or decaffeinated coffee. On the day we went there was only one staff for a very busy and full cafe. I hope the owners pay their people well and wish they had a plan for a sub to help out. Our barista was working very hard.“

“I heard getting tomato pie here is a must, so on our last work trip to the area, my husband and I had to try it.We shared:- Classic Red Tomato Pie- Sweet Pepper Pie- Pepperoni PieThe classic tomato pie was fantastic. I'm no expert, but of the ones I've had in Philly, it's hands down the best.I didn't realize the Sweet Pepper pie was just peppers and bread, so I probably wouldn't get that again. I did enjoy the Pepperoni, but the classic was so good, I would probably just get more of it next time.The craziest part of this experience was how cheap it is. Each of the pies is between $5 and $6 and they're big. The three my husband and I got were too much food for the entire day.There's no seating, so you have to take your food to go.I'll definitely be back here next time I have a work trip!“

“A little disappointed with selection for Easter- chocolate chip, sugar, brownie, lemon, and carrots cake. The only "fun" one was strawberry pretzel. Had a catering flyer and would have taken to keep handy, but no prices in it.But cookies were good - a little chewy and doughy with a little crisp on outside. Clean and modern storefront. Would probably try again.Parking: Pick up spots available right out front.Kid-friendliness: What kiddo doesn't like a good cookie? They have actual cookies baked on display, so you can see the size and offerings for the week.“

“whenever I am in Chestnut Hill I always say that I am going to try this restaurant. Well today I did and It did not disappoint OMG…. The restaurant is quaint and cute. The service was excellent and the food was very good. I ordered the broccoli quiche with turkey bacon on the side. That quiche is like none I have ever tasted, flaky crust and the filling reminded me of soufflé but much taster. I also brought 2 cups cakes carrot and coconut to go. I’m sure they are just as good. I can’t wait to go back because I hear there is a different quiche each week. This is my new breakfast place for sure.“

“I absolutely adore the cookies at this place! They're not just good; they're downright phenomenal. One of the things that sets them apart is their size - they're huge! And when they say they're always hot, they mean it. There's nothing quite like sinking your teeth into a warm, freshly baked cookie that practically melts in your mouth. From the moment you step in and catch a whiff of that irresistible aroma to the last crumb on your plate, the experience is nothing short of heavenly. Each bite is a delightful combination of soft, gooey goodness and rich, indulgent flavor. Whether you're a cookie connoisseur or just someone with a sweet tooth, these cookies are guaranteed to leave you craving more. Trust me, once you've tried them, you'll be hooked!“

“SERIOUSLY good espresso on Penn’s campus. I take my espresso very seriously and this place does too. The baristas prep the espresso really well and the lattes, cortados, and cappuccinos are smooth, delicious, and flavorful. I recommend every coffee lover come here for a good drink and studying. I personally rank this among my favorites in the Ucity area.“

“Had an amazing experience for our child's birthday party. We reserved the playroom for our 3 year old and his 8 friends plus parents and some babies. The kids (ages 1-4) all had a blast in the play area which had a playground, lots of toys, and endless entertainment for the entirety of the party. They could have played there all night! There was plenty of room for all of the kids to sit and eat at a table and for the adults to relax and mingle. There was also plenty of room for us to setup food, beverages, and coolers in addition to what the bakery provided (pizza, juice, cupcakes). The staff was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating! We definitely recommend for a memorable experience.“

“First of all--I'm glad to be introduced to another Black owned bakery! And the customer service is great. My aunt located this place when looking for treats for my grandma's bday. Everything was delicious and were a hit with the family, including the cookies. They really have too many cupcake options to choose from ?. I recently stopped by and tried the delicious sweet potato & strawberry shortcake cupcakes. I also have tried the Oreo and Turkey Bacon ones, which were good, too. I'm literally sad it's a Monday and can't wait until Wednesday to visit.“

“I was in a pinch and only had a week to order a birthday cake. I Want Moore was able to make a HUGE cake for my 25+ guest. Not only was it nicely decorated, it was absolutely delicious. I cannot wait for an excuse to order another cake from them. So yummy!!!“

“The most amazing cookies! This store is clean, the staff provide quick service, and of course, the cookies are absolutely delectable.So far, I have tried the blueberry muffin, chocolate chip, wedding cake, brownie sundae, and Kentucky butter cake. I plan to go back on a weekly basis for their specialty flavors.All in all, I recommend this location to pick up a sweet treat and smile!“

“I can't say enough good things about Meg and her work! She was absolutely fabulous to work with for my geeky 1950’s wedding. She was sweet, professional, and up to whatever challenge I could throw at her. From start to finish she was amazing to work with, our trial was delicious and we spent months anticipating getting to taste the amazing cake again. On our wedding day I was so excited to see our Doctor Who themed cake and cup cakes, it was more then I could have ever imagined it to be. All night people commented on the design of the cake, and once it was cut people commented on the taste. I am so glad I was able to save a few cup cakes to take home, I’m not sure we would make it a year to taste the cake again. Seriously if you want a fun and beautiful cake that taste AMAZING as well you need to call Meg“

“Great, old time ice cream place. This would be the perfect spot to visit after a baseball game!I took my kids for an ice cream on a lazy Sunday afternoon this summer. The place was packed! However, the line moved fast.My younger son ordered the mint chocolate chip ice cream and my older son tried the moose tracks. (I took a taste of both)The mint chocolate chip was so delicious, it reminded me of ice cream I got from a little candy shop up in Northern Wisconsin when I was a kid. My older son said that their moose tracks was the best he's ever had.We will definitely go back!Only wish they had some gluten free cones or cookies.“

“Food was good and quick. The Latte was amazing. Cute little corner cafe in a quiet neighborhood. We came for Sunday morning breakfast. Order at the counter and they will bring your food out. Very impressed with the coffee. Small menu but good choices.“

“A Conshocken gem. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I have ordered pizza’s for celebrations, high school and college sporting events, and work events. Call the day before. Their design stencils are a hit. Love the fact that generation of family are working there. Yesterday’s 3 sheets of pizza were gone in no time.“

“The crepes are great, and there are plenty of good vegetarian savory options, especially looking at the build your own option. The side salad is a highlight! We also tried the French toast crepe, which has an egg incorporated into the batter. Interesting. The espresso is good but the cappuccino is weird; they don't pour the milk through the crema at all, so it's mostly foam on top of a single shot. It can be folded through but I think next time I'd just get an espresso here. I really like that they have reusable cutlery and crockery, and service is brisk even when they're crowded. They also have a bunch of pastries if you're looking to grab and go. No parking lot but free street parking up to two hours. Friendly staff.“
