Wowzers! So decadent and delicious. I need to try more of their menu but the butter cake has the best texture and the richest flavor. I was floored with every little bite. The coffee cake was similarly life-changing. Definitely a destination for treats big and small! read more

If it weren't for the butter cake I would never go there again. Called a week ahead for a birthday cake and the person on the phone was rude, uninterested and lacked common manners. Was told that they weren't doing cakes for Wednesday due to the holiday. I went with Tuesday instead. The birthday falls on Thursday which is Thanksgiving. I added in a butter cake as well. Apparently they are doing me a favor by the way I was treated. Called back to add an inscription since it is for a birthday. This person was almost not much better than the other one. She put me on hold and came back and said if they had "time" they'd do it. WOW. You know birthdays come around for each of us one time a year. Sorry that this Nov 28 birthday is inconvenient for you. In fact the 8 minutes I spent with your employees on two calls was enough time to write on 2-3 cakes. read more

The Danish Bakers has been providing our family with their iced crumb buns, cinnamon bread and of course butter cake for over thirty years. Now that we don't live around the corner we still fulfill our tradition by making our trip there each Christmas. This is the second year in a row that after ordering a WEEK ahead I arrived to be told my full order would not be ready for another two hours! After a 45 minute drive! I decided to forego the bread and just take the iced crumb buns and butter cake along with a few donuts. Imagine my shock to arrive home and find NO butter cake but obviously a box with someone else's order!! I tried for hours to call the bakery.., it was obvious the phone was off the hook. Really really poor Danish Bakers!! You have disappointed my family for the last time. read more

Hi people my name is Luis I have been going to danish backer an everything at backers it great no complain. Check it out you have no idea what you missing. read more

Butter cake & apple strudl were excellent & best I've had. Black Forest cake was also very good. Just wish they were open on Wednesdays.

Danish Bakers actually lives up to the hype! We got two butter cakes for a party and the crowd went wild. It finally dawned on me that the cream was similar to a Napoleon, but better. I also had a pretzel, which was fabulous, although a bit pricey. All in all, to quality baked goods, friendly service and a parking lot. What's not to love? read more

I've been a longtime admirers and patron of this store from when I used to live in rockledge while a resident at a nearby hospital. Their butter cake is to die for and even though I've moved to a different city, I always try and get it when back in town. My son loves the butter cake too and we were in Delaware for a hockey tournament...last time we were too late to get one and were asked to reserve one by phone so we did this time. Reserved two and drove 45 miles to get there...even called to confirm on the way and let them know we were running half an hour later. only to find out that while the receipts was made out for two butter cakes, they only had one for us. Ended up charging for only one but felt like they really didn't seem to care about the screw up. Was such a long drive and we even confirmed, but there was really no explanation...just a shrug and "sorry". Just disappointing. read more

BUTTER CAKE REVIEW We were driving by on Saturday and I wondered aloud 'hmm the sign says this bakery won best of Philly butter cake 2010...I wonder what a butter cake is'. My bf almost stopped the car. He enthusiastically went on and on about how delicious it is and how can I not know what butter cake is?!?! I was convinced. We HAD to buy one. We walked in a little after 4pm and they were still putting out freshly baked butter cakes; must be a hot seller. It ain't pretty but omg it's delicious...it's almost like a cheese danish minus the cheese and even better tasting, if that makes sense (probably doesn't). Over the course of 24 hours we devoured the whole thing ourselves. Trust me, you want some butter cake. read more

What is all the excitement about? Sticky bun mini's were hard. Had to microwave the bun just the bite it. Same for the rest of the puff pastry. Stale. Shame, too. The flavors are good. Not worth the price at roughly $2 a pop. The little girl that waited on us even seemed put off to serving customers. No wonder places go out business. You must have to go here on certain days only to get anything worth eating. Not worth trying, again. read more

My family is from Cheltenham Village. We have been buying our Butter Cake here nearly 50 years. I was in town from SF Bay Area for a family reunion last year and everyone asked me to pick up Butter Cakes for the celebration. I spoke with a childhood friend of the family, Ramon Jr and joyfully learned his three sons have joined the business. The McCrimmon Family has provided a consistent quality of baked goods and service. When you visit say hi to Ramon Jr from the Left Coast Kirkpatrick Family. read more

I hadn't been up this way for a while but took advantage of my trip to Northeast Philly to get some yummy desserts. Be prepared to stand in line to get great cinnamon buns, donuts, and butter cake. They did not disappoint my memories of years past. There are also plenty of Danish and cakes to get as well. Be prepared to wait in the parking lot or on line inside for your box of treats. Nothing here has Bavarian or yellow patisserie cream, just their sugary white cream. It's cash or check only! read more

This is the only place in town to get an authentic buttercake -- buttercakes like you used to get at bakerys like Duffy's in Juniata a million years ago. It's creamy center held together with a tasty hug of pastry is perfection. The sticky buns are great too - just like we remember getting. They are crispy and sweet on the outside and perfect for dunking. read more

Came in for a jelly doughnut because it was hannukah.. it was so delish! I don't know how they get it so moist and flakey and soft! And it just had enough jelly that it wasn't messy. If I'm in the area again I'll definitely be back! read more

Eat all of the things here, you all. Another great local business that has been around for awhile (because they make amazing pastries). Obviously, get some danish. Try all the flavors because they are all darn delicious. These make a nice "coming to visit" gift for a friend or family member.Their butter cake is also pretty famous, along with their creme doughnuts, muffins, shortcakes, cookies, etc etc. Remember: eat all of the things! I like their old-school ambiance. Lots of stained glass lights in their shop, and nothing is pretentious or intimidating. A bakery should be a happy, welcoming place to visit, and they nail it. read more

Horribly run business. They aren't open very early for a bakery and when they do open, the items one may want to buy for breakfast aren't ready like Donuts and you walk away empty handed. It's too bad because they have a good donut. The pricing is way too high as well, $14 cash for a dozen donuts is nuts. I think they try and make up for the fact that they are closed two days a week and then for a month during the summer. Doesn't seem like anything changes as it's the same exact menu year after year... they don't cut the lower selling items and try and introduce anything new in its place or try and improve the bad things like the dry cookies. read more

I have purchased their danish and old fashioned donuts and they were great. The wait was a bit long on Saturday morning but it was worth it.

It's Danish Bakers, so they ought to bake Danish pastries ($1.50 ea) well, right? I had a Cherry&Cheese Danish, the pastry of which was somewhat dry (perhaps a bit stale) and the cheese filling was a little flat; I wouldn't get that again. I also had a Chocolate Danish which was the bomb - light, flaky, fresh, nicely sweet - perfect AND unusual. My regular and FAVORITE bakery is http://WeinrichBakery.com; I love their Danish, but they don't offer a CHOCOLATE Danish, so I'll def head back to Danish Bakers for another of those. read more

We always love picking up sweets from here! Every baked good in this bakery is absolutely delicious, and well worth it. Yesterday, we picked up a German chocolate cake and a butter cake, and we absolutely loved both. That wasn't the first time we stopped in, and it won't be the last! Highly recommend! read more

I have been awaiting my first butter cake from here for months after reading the amazing reviews. It was okay, but nothing close to my very favorite butter cake. Unfortunately, this is a case of your first impression becoming the gold standard. And so I hold all butter cakes to the same expectations and standards I have for those from Flying Monkey Patisserie in Reading Terminal. We also got several danishes and other baked goods to try and were similarly let down. Definitely still ate them, but not the best. Merrymead Farm's baked goods can be picked up still warm in the mornings and it is sublime. The reviews really had my expectations hyped and that may have worked against the actual experience. read more

We did a donut tasting for Hanukkah one year and they came out on top. The butter cake is amazing. Definitely order in advance (if some of the poor reviews took responsibility for their lack of foresight they wouldn't have had a problem.) Haven't had anything other than the butter cake and donuts but who needs to eat anything else??? read more

Best bakery ever.. Their products are always fresh and consistent. love their butter cake. VERY ADDICTING! Also, try their cinnamon buns. They're baked fresh every morning and they melt in your mouth. The trip down to the bakery is worth it. Everything ismade with love and the recipes have been apart of their family for 4 generations. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

Wow! What can I say. Went on a trip today to find this bakery and a German meat store. Everything we bought was outstanding. The customer service was something every business should strive for. We were greeted and everything we looked for was explained. We were not rushed and after about $50 of cakes and pastry we finally realized we had to leave. So far we gained 5 pounds but it was worth it. Between the German Wursts we bought and the butter cake, dicky buns, pantries we are FULL. read more

The Best of Philly award for best butter cake was my motivation to make the trip to Rockledge & it was worth the drive! Took me back to the butter cake of my childhood (from a bakery that's long gone). Also tried the cheese danish, the jelly roll & the eclairs - all excellent. read more

The jelly roll is amazing. My dad used to bring them home when I was kid and they have always been an experience beyond words. I also love the butter cake and croissants. Try the soft pretzels too, they are delicious and a good change of pace from the normal Philadelphia style. read more

I can't remember not going to this local bakery.I no longer live near the place, but I still pop in when I'm in the area. The sticky buns and pineapple cheesecake (pie) are the reasons my entire neighborhood (all of whom have moved on) revisit again and again. No one makes them as delish as the Danish does! From Cali to NYC, all have made a point to visit when they are "home." read more

BEST BUTTER CAKE EVER!!!!! My husband and I grabbed one on our way home from our daughters well check up. The two of us ate the whole thing in a day and were contemplating buying another one. I really don't want to know how fattening it is. It is well worth it! You have to try it!!! read more

I found this place by accident. The butter cake is AMAZING. In all fairness, I have no other butter cake to compare it to because this is my 1st time eating butter cake. I feel like this place is the best kept secret that many in the area don't even know about and I don't understand why. Word of mouth should've spread through the area. If anyone asks me "what's great to eat in the neighborhood" , one of the 4 things I would mention would be this Butter Cake. read more

We drive all the way out here for the delicious butter cake and donuts. Cinnamon twists are very good and if you get there early they are still warm. Our favorite bakery! read more

I have been going to Danish for years as I live in fox chase. While the taste of their butter cake, Danish, sticky buns, etc. has not changed, I am disappointed in the size and price increase of all their items! Tonight I got a dozen donuts, when I opened the box I couldn't believe the size of the jelly donut and the Bismark. They also raised all their prices, I know they won Best of Philly for the butter cake but let's not let it go to your head! read more

BAD EXPERIENCE -- LONG TIME CUSTOMER WHO WILL NEVER RETURN !!!! On Wednesday May 18 I ordered a birthday cake for my daughter through Linda. She was very polite and helpful. I ordered a three pound round cream cheese pound cake with pink lettering and pastel colors. On Thursday I went in person to check that the order was correct and that it would be ready for pick up on Friday at 10:30 AM (this was a luncheon party.) I saw that the slip had the correct information including "pink with pastels" written on the slip. I called the bakery the morning of pickup to be sure it would be ready on time. I was told that it would be 45-60 minutes late. This was not acceptable but eventually they agreed that I could pick up the cake at 11:15. When I arrived, I was presented with a cake with light purple writing which actually looked more grey in color than purple. Linda again was polite and offered to have it re-iced but there was no time due to the fact that they were already late in having it ready. I brought the cake home, opened the box, placed the candles and left it on my kitchen counter. After lunch in the dining room I went to bring the cake in only to discover that there was a huge crack running right through the middle of the grey lettering. At this point I had no choice but to serve it as I had 10 kids expecting cake. I did; however, take pictures of the cake in its entirety while it was still in the original box. After the party I went back to complain as now there had been THREE errors on one simple birthday cake; late, wrong icing color and now a huge crack which I had four pictures of to prove. I was literally ATTACKED by a woman that I believe to be the baker's wife,.,,, the baker himself stood silently as if terribly embarassed over her actions. She was literally in my face screaming at me and insinuating that I, myself had cracked the cake on purpose. Never in my life have I been treated so rudely by ANYONE. This woman obviously has anger issues and I told her so to which she replied "YES I DO." I was also told "ALL OF OUR CAKES ARE LATE." Good business practice. This was a bakery that I patronized 2-3 times per week for years. NEVER again will they have my business nor the hard earned money of anyone I know. Please take heed and avoid this bakery. I understand that mistakes happen but to have three mistakes on one simple cake and then to be treated like an animal is inexcusable. I was actually in tears when I got to my car as this "woman" was so incredibly violent towards me. I would suggest finding another bakery; especially if you would like a nice cake for a loved one. read more

Best butter cake ever. A little pricey but worth it for special occasion. Butter cookies are awesome and the crumb cake is so good. Moist cake with perfect combo of crumb on top...sweet cinnamon brown sugar buttery crumb. Sinfully delicious! read more

Good sticky buns, cookies, foot-long cinnamon rolls, etc. Known for butter cake.

My former favorite bakery when I traveled to the Philly area was Upper Dublin Bakery on Moreland Rd. However, after 50 years they suddenly closed in January of 2014. The good news is that I found this bakery that has even more delicious options. The butter cake is to die for, for starters. My wife and I stopped here four times during our last visit to Philly and found everything from the butter cake, to the coffee cake, to the Danish to be terrific and fresh. Reasonable prices also. The negatives are they only take cash and are closed on Monday and Tuesday. Another positive is that the friendly staff didn't look like they ate all their meals at the bakery! ;-) read more

Stopped in this morning to check out the famous butter cake and WOW!!!! It was so so yummy! We tried a raspberry and lemon pastry and both were so yummy! We will be regulars for sure. The customer service was fantastic as well. read more

Love butter cake. So yummy. The cookies are ok, but this spot is known for the butter cakes. Can't rate the Danish's since I never tried theirs . But butter cake.....yum! read more

I just recently realized they make pretzels here. Very good pretzels - crisp on the outside, of medium-density on the inside (lighter than a classic Philadelphia soft pretzel/denser than the soft pretzels of Auntie Anne's or the Amish stand on in the Amish Market on Cottman Ave.) if you are familiar with a southern German - Barvarian pretzels or Schwäbisch style Louga pretzels, they are of comparable density and with a delicateness between the thin, well-baked shell and well-baked but soft inside, that reminds me of the pretzels of those regions (of course, unfortunately, without the lye that Schwäbisch pretzels are treated with; but I don't think there have been any true Louga pretzels made in the Phila. area since Zach's and Wentzge's on Rising Sun Ave. closed. This is the next closest thing, I think, without the lye. Unfortunately they only make them on some days of the week, and not on any seeming schedule. The counter girl told me that they do tend to make them more frequently on the weekends, and that one could "order" a few pretzels -- request them, I guess -- even if it's a small order, in advance. The other thing I really love at this place is the apple strudel - very fresh, not too dense. And the cherry turnovers are also very nice. They're of course known for their butter cake, which I will admit is delicious, but a really fattening prospect. I tried Hamentaschen from the bakery about two weeks ago, and was not particularly impressed. The dough was a bit less dense than I think Hamentaschen should be/ vs. the classic Hamentaschen cookie-cake hybrid dough that one traditionally expects of a Hamentaschen. Overall, the quality is very good at this place, everything always seems perfectly fresh, and the staff is very nice. They don't take credit cards, but do take checks, so do beware of that. read more

Stopped in to get some "goodies" for a work party. Parking was almost non-existent. Upon waiting in a small cramped section, when I finally went to pay for my order I was told "Cash Only", which would have been fine if I had cash on me. Had to run to the bank, and then back to the bakery where I had to wait again in the small cramped section. Cookies, Danish, and cinnamon buns were just Meh, almost stale like and not worth the rave reviews or price. Danish Bakery should get with the times and accept debit or credit cards. Cons: Parking, Cash Only, Small cramped space. Products are just Meh for price. Pros: In all fairness the only item I would consider going back for is the butter cake. read more

Went to this bakery to buy a strawberry shortcake cake first thing in the morning. They didn't have any available. I asked if they would have any later in the day and they told me 10 am they would have some. I went back at 1030 and still didn't make any. Then they tell me I have to order it. If they would have said I needed to order one, I would have ordered it at 830 am instead of coming back at 10 to order it. What a waste of my time. I had to order it and go back a to the store a third time. They have good products, but their customer service sucks. read more

sooo sososososososo good. we got their butter cake as well as the croissant, almond danish and lemon danish. everything was really fresh and delicious. we thought the butter cake was better when chilled in the fridge for a couple hours. the croissant was so crispy but soft and slightly chewy at the same time, not sure how they do that, but it's awesome! the danishes were pretty good too. very light and flakey. will definitely go again and try everything!! read more

Went there today for the first time. Bought a butter cake and peach danish. Both were very good. Will go there again for sure.
