Cute walk up bakery (and if you’re lucky-seating at one of the few tables along the sidewalk). Fresh baked goods-their chocolate bread is amazing-and I even enjoyed it cold from the fridge the next day! On the weekend they make a special cinnamon hazelnut bread-sounds delicious and I will definitely
I had been craving a really good cinnamon bun in Philly and after some research I narrowed it down between Essen Bakery and a nearby competitor. We stopped by and ordered one of the cinnamon buns, a pear pop tart and another apricot pastry I’m forgetting the name of but was similar to a fruit danish
Such a cute spot and everything I had was amazing. The apple cake was one of the best I’ve ever had! The bagels were fresh and super tasty and the cinnamon buns were phenomenal! I’ll def be back!
Been coming to Essen for a couple years and I love it. The croissant egg sandwich might be my favorite breakfast in life. It's hard boiled egg, labneh, and zataar forming a perfect combination of savory and smooth. They have rotating flavors of homemade pop tarts that are fun and delicious. Staples
Their Zaatar Challah is sooo good. Great croissants and other pastries. The babka is also good but not the best in Philly. But in general this is a stand out bakery and you can't go wrong with any of their offerings. Especially the Zaatar Challah - you must get this.
Great Jewish bakery in South Philly. It’s tiny and they will sellout quickly, especially on the weekend. Awesome bagels, Jewish apple cake and pretty much everything else. There is seating within the bakery, but only 3 or so tables so it’s more of a take out place. I
One of the best bakeries in town. All the breads are fresh, fluffy and flavorful! Make sure you grab one of their sandwiches when you stop by for a loaf of challah.
A gem on Passyunk! Babka is soft and chewy, just the right kind of chocolate, pairs well with coffee
The best Israeli food just like Israel that pluralistic country that unlike gaza allows gays to live and not throw gays off roofs
I found this gem somehow in my 3 day trip to Philly. It was a 30 min bus ride from my hotel and it was so worth it! I pre-ordered 6 bagels and 6 rugulach. When I got home, the very next morning I had a bagel.... delicious. The rugulach is on a whole nother level! So delicious! I'm going to be dreami
Located in South Philly, this tiny Jewish bakery had a little takeout window open in April 2022. With a few tables outside, most locals get their pastries to go.
The staff guide you through their menu, but I recommend their chocolate and halva babka. It's award-winning and truly the best I've ever
Great Jewish bakery. There is a tree in front of this place, that hides the sign pretty good! We walked past this place twice. South African lady at the counter was super friendly and helpful. Their chocolate babka was sold out when we got there. But had a Zatar sandwich that was really refreshingly
Wonderful local spot for traditionally Jewish baked goods. I have had their challah and rugelach and would recommend both!
A perfect spot for bagels in south Philly. This small bakery has a simple yet delicious menu with bagels, pastries and coffee complete with a friendly and speedy staff. The best part about getting bagels here is the amount of cream cheese they put on the bagels. The shmear is spot on and the Jewish
Holy cow! I ordered delivery from out of state via GOLDBELLY and the food is absolutely phenomenal! Got the sampler. Order yours and see for yourself!
Had a croissant, cinnamon roll, and some cold tea. All were excellent. The cinnamon roll was extremely soft and the frosting still liquid, squeezing through the roll. Nice outdoor seating that is shaded in the morning.
Before this experience I wasn't aware that cinnamon rolls or donuts could taste this good. I was genuinely shocked by how incredibly different they tasted. I still am having a hard time reconciling the huge gap between the next best place and Essen Bakery.
