    I was in the area earlier today and decided to stop in. Because I'm greedy a grabbed a few treats: an Oreo pop tart, crumb cake and coffee cake. My favorite was the crumb cake. Be warned it's very buttery/greasy but still very good. The crumb cake was a little on the dry side but the crumb topping was excellent. My hubby is an Oreo fiend and was vary happy with his choice. The center of the pop tart was filled with Oreos to his pleasant surprise.

    Barry's Buns was a delicious sweet treat. I tried their maple bacon sticky buns at a food festival in Easton public market. Firstly the sticky bun was super heavy and dense. It was like eating breakfast. The icing was not to sweet and the inside was soft and gooey. Barry and his wife were really friendly and I learned that their products are home made and all natural so no artifical ingredients! Overall, I believe I paid 5.00 and it was worth it cause it would be challenging to eat at one time. BTW the sticky bun taste better warm, 30 seconds in the microwave does wonders!

    Barry's Buns is another small shop in the Markets at Wayfare on Germantown Avenue, Chestnut Hill. They do all manner of bakery sweets that go well with coffee for breakfast, or any other time of day when you desire a tasty sugar fix. When I was there on Saturday afternoon the market was packed with beer drinkers both inside and out. Perhaps because of that Barry's inventory was pretty much threadbare. All I saw were a few chunks of Crumb Cake, Jewish Apple Cake, and somethings that looked like fruit topped cupcakes. The woman working the counter was friendly and answered my questions about what was left and smoothly packed up my order of two Crumb Cakes into a white paper bag. My sense was that as soon as her meagre stock was gone, so was she. If she had been willing to sell that apple cake by the wedge, rather than requiring the whole kubboodle go at once, I would have been happy to grab a handful. I love Jewish Apple Cake, but I didn't want the temptation of bringing it home in my car. I couldn't trust myself not to dive in and fist large handfuls into my mouth like the 8 year old kid lurking within would do. I did more calmly sample a piece of the Crumb Cake on the way after stopping at Poppy's Cafe for hot coffee to wash it down. It was excellent - still moist, soft, sweet, with clumped brown sugar/cinnamon/butter embedded within like a happy toy in a Cracker Jack box. Clearly have to come here earlier in the day to have the most choice.

    Please. Pass on these. These were overpriced and dry. Stale. I went on a Saturday- about 2pm. We went to LEGO land and took a ride to a lovely district. The drive is beautiful and the neighborhood is outstanding. This bakery is located in a market and there is a little kiosk. I am so disappointed I spent $10 on bread pudding and a sticky bun. It was absolutely stale, gunky and smelly.

    After eating two of the three buns we brought home, I wish we bought more. Our trip to the market was inspired by trying these buns. We ended up getting a plain, a plain with cream cheese icing, and an apple topped. We asked the recommendation for heating (Barry said 25 seconds in the microwave) and headed home. So we've had the apple and the cream cheese one so far. Heated just enough, they're soft, doughy, and sweet without being cloying. With how good these were, I both want to try some of the other baked goods AND wouldn't want to deviate from what we enjoyed!

    Impression: just as the reviews say- this place was super- on seeing such beautiful luscious glazed Buns, you're already sold and wanting to get some! You can 6 buns for 15$, or each bun for 3$. The options are walnut raisin, raisin, walnut, Apple crumble, plain, seasonal special, cream cheese filled- their crumble and cake slices also looked phenomenal. Make sure to get some coffee or tea to go with these otherwise super sweet concoctions We got the box of 6 buns for 15$. I think the raisin and walnut raisin ones were my fav- microwave them the next day and they are magical. The seasonal we got was the coconut cream one and that was also good- the glaze on top is like caramel so it may get sticky on the teeth rather than the gooey stickiness that comes with normal buns. The caramel is what makes this super sweet too

    Barry's Buns is always delicious and never disappoints!! The owner Joel is so sweet and friendly. We recently ordered pies for our family holiday party and they were such a big hit. If you're in Chestnut Hill or Old City you need to stop in for a bun or one of their amazing baked goods!

    The wonderful Chestnut Hill Farmers Market

    Most bakeries and pastry shops get good reviews on Yelp - people like sweet treats. But occasionally a place rises above the 'good' and enters the realm of outstanding and one of those places is Barry's Buns in Chestnut Hull. This delicious spot is found in the Chestnut Hill Farmers Market. Every offering here is top-notch. But what I really like is that it carries all the indigenous Philadelphia pastries. My friends from Europe love trying the unique Philly goods rather than the ubiquitous national items which you can get anywhere in America. So I will of course recommend their Philly lemon bars (or lemon squares), their sticky buns, crumb buns (or crumb cakes) and of course Philly butter cakes. And there are variations on these local treats - e.g. I recently had a peach cobbler sticky bun and a mixed berry butter cake. Staff is very friendly at Barry's Buns and indeed customers always seem to appreciate their patience while trying to choose which delicacies to purchase. Of course I'll be returning to Barry's Buns - it's only a few minutes walk from where I live!

    Sticky bun w/raisins and walnuts

    I've been craving bread pudding for weeks now so when I found a location in Yelp! near me I immediately made the trip to partake. This bread pudding was not worth the trip despite the deliciousness of the name, it was not good. It's obviously made with day(s) old bread which isn't a bad thing. The bad thing is it was so very dry. No moisture, no custard, no cream. I took one bite and although I could've whipped up a cream myself to enhance it, I was so disappointed that I just tossed it. Now the sticky bun while not as ooey, gooey sticky sweet as I like it was tasty.

    These buns are sent from HEAVEN!!! I can only imagine the calorie count but once you take a bite... it's like a mouthgasm . They have featured flavors like apple crumb, cookies & cream, strawberry cheesecake just to name a few. My favorite is the raisin walnut. They also have other goodies like red velvet cupcakes. Everything is DELICIOUS. The baker running the show is nice as well. Run here to get your sweet treats!!!

This was my first time actually trying it and it definitely lived up to the hype of the Yelp reviews. My wrap had chicken, hummus, lettuce, and feta, and it was so delicious. My chicken was very good, very tender and seasoned well. It also had a great creamy hummus to tie all the other ingredients together. The feta added just enough saltiness to balance out the rest of the flavors. All of the ingredients were very fresh, and my wrap was extremely soft, yet still maintained its form completely as I ate. I also ordered a Nutella hot chocolate. It was delicious! It was my fist time having a Nutella hot Chocolate. I usually just get a normal hot chocolate. The pita chips served as an additional side item with this sandwich and proved to be quite enjoyable. The pita chips had a good crunch and were able to pair with the wrap very well. I ended up eating all of the pita chips! It was a great lunch and I enjoyed my wrap! I would likely order from Café Square One again in the future, especially, if that wrap is still on their menu!

    Dear reader, We went…read moreto City Tap in Philly with a large group just for drinks and had a thoroughly good time. The $10 martinis on Friday were an excellent deal and definitely one of the highlights of the evening. A well-priced martini always sets a promising tone, and these did exactly that. The bartenders were helpful and kept things moving impressively well, even with a group our size, which was much appreciated. The space itself is huge and very clean, with plenty of tables and seating, so it was easy for everyone to spread out, settle in, and enjoy themselves without feeling packed in. A major point in its favour is the setup for watching sports. They have a massive wall of TV screens, plus more TVs throughout the space, which made it very easy to keep up with multiple games at once. No awkward craning for a view, no fighting for the one good seat, just a very solid setup for a group outing. Overall, it was a fun experience and very much in line with the good times we have had at other City Tap locations in DC. A lively, well-run spot for drinks and groups, and one we would happily return to.

The place had a great ambiance- the bar had sports tvs playing, the side tables had very happy hour chat vibe, and the back tables had a more intimate feeling. Overall, would recommend- it was a nice experience.
