In Short – Part of this bakery's charm is that you have to know where to look for it--about five blocks beyond the clusters of specialty shops and restaurants that make up Chestnut Hill's shopping district. Once inside the tiny white cottage house you'll find a friendly staff and a small seating area for those seeking instant gratification with treats such as raspberry linzer tarts or a mocha cake layered with hazelnut buttercream.

great cake
by juliastein42 at Citysearch
My family has been going to this bakery since I was a child and it's still as memorable. The staff is so friendly and I can pop in any day to get a birthday cake for my kids or if I have a craving for their incredible frosted brownies. They get more creative every year! What a gem of Philadelphia.

sweet sweets!
by junegirl at Citysearch
I found this bakery on the Fox Philly hot list and it's great! The raspberry scones are different than the ones I had in England but nice. The chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting are insanely good. I also loved the iced shortbread which they don't always have. Cute place!
- Pros: reminds me of my grandmother's desserts
- Cons: only open till 1:00 on Sundays

Disappointing morning stop, small selection
by ashley0101 at Citysearch
Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was very disappointed by this Night Kitchen. I'm used to New York and New Jersey bakeries that have bread, but when I walked into Night Kitchen there were strictly pastries. There were no rolls, loaves of bread or croissants. There were cakes. One choice of muffin, blueberry. I got the muffin and it was very dry just an hour after they opened in the morning. I tried the pumpkin pound cake and was very turned off my the texture. It was like crisco shortening with a hint of pumpkin. Two small cases, one with cakes, tarts, and pies, and the other with smaller pastries.
I will not be returning to give them another try. Maybe the cakes are good, I haven't tried them. But a disappointing morning stop for a muffin to go with my coffee.
- Pros: Plenty of parking along Germantown in the morning
- Cons: Lard like pastries, not flaky goodness

best lemon curd cake
by princessy1 at Citysearch
oh my God! That lemon curd cake is to die for. So moist and luscious. I want more!!!! This is possibly the best cake I have eaten and I like cake. The staff was very solicitous, as well. They offered suggestions on how to serve it and when to take it out of the fridge. I never would have thought about it. I can't believe that I drove past it for months without going in. I must make up for lost time!
