Miel Patisserie

There are no finer hearts than Robert Bennett's caramel ones, for sale at his sparkly Center City boutique. -
Night Kitchen Bakery

This Chestnut Hill hideout specializes in special occasion cakes, cookies, tarts and their city-renown sticky buns. -
Baker Street Bread Co
8001 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA
Crunchy, light, airy and remarkably similar to the otherworldly stuff baked at boulangeries throughout France, this Chestnut Hill baker of artisan breads is our pick for the city’s best baguette. -
Metropolitan Bakery
262 S 19th St, Philadelphia, PA
Still wondrous after all these years, we prefer the original Rittenhouse locale, where in the 90's this purveyor of fine baked goods opened at a time when fitness fiends fought fat rather than carbs. -
Le Bus
129 S 18th St, Philadelphia, PA
A true Philly fave ruins your taste for the factory-baked blandness found at supermarket chains.
