    Pandan tart
    Catherine L.

    Was visiting Philly for the day and looked up Asian bakeries and found this place. The outside art is very cute and the interior is small and mainly just for ordering. We came around 3/4 pm on the weekend and there was a decent variety of stuff left but I would suggest coming earlier if you can since some things were sold out. We got the cha siu puffs, sweetheart cake, and pandan tarts. The cha siu puffs were a bit dry (tastes best when freshly made). The sweetheart cake was alright, I have definitely had better. The highlight was the pandan tarts - I haven't really seen these anywhere and they tasted great!! My bf and I were tempted to go back to buy more but we were in a rush.

    Red Bean Cake, Mung Bean Cake

    I would say you have to definitely go early we went at almost 5pm on a Saturday and they were out of almost everything I wanted to try. I asked them and they said to come early. We did try a few things, the butter bread was good, a mango tiramisu cup was delicious! I got the red bean and mung bean pastry cakes for my niece and she liked them. I tried the lotus and taro little pastries as well and I wasn't a fan. I will try to come back early to try all their wonderful breads! Friendly staff

    If you want a good zongzi in south Philly, you can grab one here. It's warm, good amount of red beans, peanuts, and pork belly. If you want the buns, the recommend coming here in the morning because at the end of the day they are drier. Three percent fee if you pay with card

    Char siu pastry

    What a cute find. Lovely little bakery with tons of traditional Asian options (buns, custards, etc.). Mix of savory and sweet. We ended up getting a LOT of things as we had so much trouble deciding between everything and everything was so cheap! Some were better than others but definitely glad we got a nice array. They also sell bubble tea but we opted to skip this this time.

    They have an amazingly large menu for such a small low key place. One of my favorite bakeries in Philly!

    Dodo bakery ! So cute

    I stopped by the other day because the sign was too cute to pass by plus an Asian bakery on Oregon avenue in Philly ! Yes lemme see what they got! It's small but cute inside. Coffee was good. The two women behind counter were nice and u formative and helpful. If you want to try something new and different go here and give it a try. They have some unique stuff to try. I will definitely Turku try again when I'm in Philly.

    Lychee smoothie

    Love that there is an Asian bakery in South Philly! Everything made fresh and usually sold out by the end of the day! They are currently selling mooncakes for the Mid Autumn season. My favorite is the BBQ pork bun, the Chinese tamales (joong in Cantonese), egg tarts, the red bean cakes, almond cookies, and lychee smoothie. The staff there are so friendly. Saves me a trip to Chinatown as well

    Matcha Latte, Strawberry Milk Tea, Pineapple Coconut Bun (I think), Butter Cookies
    Joanna Z.

    It was pretty full when I got there because school just ended, but I got a matcha latte with aloe (it was a last min. topic decision because they ran out of tapioca pearls that day) and my friend got a strawberry milk tea. Both were great, and the server genuinely seemed like a nice guy. We also got a pineapple bun and butter cookies (they were kinda pricey) and they were rlly good! I'll definitely come again to try a few more of their drink options.

    Moldy egg :(

    Came here to pick up a bag of breads and pastries last weekend. Store was pretty empty by the time I came (around 5:30) so come early! I got - 4 pandan egg tarts - 1 ham and egg bun - 1 snow mountain bun - 1 butter and sugar bun Unfortunately, the ham and egg bun was moldy so I can't comment on the taste. The other two buns were pretty dry and flavorless. The butter and sugar bun had a super light sugar glaze and I think butter slivers inside and the snow mountain bun had a slight sugary crust on top. Both bread portions were very dry. The egg tarts were okay but the custard part was more jello like in consistency and more sugary than I was used to. The crust was also not flaky pastry crust but a cookie crust (just as a headsup!) service was super friendly, but would probably go back to the Asian bakeries in Chinatown instead.

It was more of a croissant than the buttery pastry I associate kouign amanns with -Orange cardamom morning bun: My favorite of the pastries! Light, airy, and just the right touch of sweetness -Rhubarb danish: Very unique but not for me. The rhubarb was very tangy and a bit tough to chew. The texture was an interesting contrast to the flakiness of the rest of the pastry and the smoothness of the cream Unfortunately, I set my expectations a bit too high and the items I tried unfortunately fell short. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly! The line can get quite long, but the staff are really efficient and moving the line along. AMBIANCE Located in the Bok Building, there's ample seating in the general seating area right by and behind the storefront. The space is shared with other guests visiting Two Persons Coffee and the stores in Bok. I saw some people working/studying, but it can get quite busy/loud. PARKING Paid street parking is available at a limited capacity. Most people park in neighboring streets or take the bus. BATHROOMS Bathrooms are located throughout the building.

The sausage and gravy bun was really good & super tasty but it felt like it was missing something. I think adding onions could take it to the next level. While it was enjoyable, it did start to feel a bit flat as we kept eating. Now, the cinnamon rolls were a different story! easily some of the best we've had. We popped them in the microwave for about 15 seconds, and they came out warm, soft, and absolutely delicious. Every bite was perfect. I really hope they're able to reopen somewhere closer to the city because I'd love to try more from them.

Sadly, the little outpost at the corner of Ninth and Catharine is closing. Today was the first of the last 3 days it's open. You may wonder why I'm writing such a long- detailed review on a shop that's closing - it's a tribute. I wish I could have visited it often - but while its history may have been short - my review will last 'forever'. I was standing in front of Pop's this morning just before 8 - it was opening at 9 and was expected to sell out within an hour or two. I was the first in line - there were about 20 people in line by 8:30 and double that number when it opened at 9. It was my first - and unfortunately - would be my last visit to the iconic bakery. It was early, I hadn't had breakfast so I got the Egg, Cheese and Tomato Chutney Bun. It was excellent! The bun was soft, light and had a perfect texture - a very fluffy egg, with cheese and a savory tomato chutney, made the sandwich so delicious! Next up, the Raspberry Kolache. While I was waiting for the bakery to open, I looked up 'kolache' online, as I'd not heard of it. It said 'soft, egg-y, buttery brioche roll, with a fruit filling on top'. Pop's Kolache was exactly that - the roll/bun had the same 'underpinnings' as the Egg Bun I'd just had. It was lightly sprinkled with sugar and had a luscious raspberry filling in the center that I made sure was included in every bite! What a great pastry whose origins are from the Czech Republic. You could say, 'I'm on a roll'! Next up, the Cinnamon Rolls! My pet peeve with cinnamon rolls is icing. I like icing, just not a lot of it. I may be in the minority here, but I don't like heavy, two to three inch layering of icing on a roll. These cinnamon rolls had the perfect amount of icing to roll 'ratio'. The rolls had the same fluffy brioche texture with swirls of cinnamon throughout. The buttery icing just enveloped the roll and I closed my eyes to truly savor the taste! Great Cinnamon Rolls! Last, but most definitely not least, the Sticky Buns!! If you've read any of my bakery reviews, sticky buns are near and dear to my heart. Not sure why, they just are. I quickly fell in love with Pop's Sticky Buns with Pecans - the brioche like bun, as with the other pastries, set the stage. See the attached picture - it's topped with a plethora of large, deliciously crunchy pecans in a deep caramel glaze. The cinnamon glaze was swirled throughout the bun - it undoubtedly will be a very memorable pastry on my list of sticky buns. It was certainly a special day - while I will, as will many others, miss this wonderful bakery, let's hope the Blisards continue providing their amazing baked goods to Philadelphians in the not to distant future!

The service…read morewas amazing from the start, they let us sample a bunch of flavors and honestly every single one was so good that it made choosing stressful in the best way possible. I ended up getting the Playoff Party flavor, which I believe is only offered when one of the Philly teams is in the playoffs, and it was basically an Oreo ice cream lover's dream. The Earl Grey Honeycomb was also SO good. You could actually taste the Earl Grey tea flavor clearly, and the honeycomb balanced it perfectly without overpowering it. One thing I really liked about their ice cream in general was the texture because it had that perfect consistency where it's firm and dense but still soft. It's definitely on the pricier side though. Our total came out to around $15-16 for two single scoops, with one being in a waffle cone. I also wanted a waffle cone on the side, so they gave my single scoop in a larger bowl instead which I thought was really considerate. However, the waffle cone is on the thicker side so it's not as crispy. That said, for the price you are getting noticeably larger scoops, so honestly I still think it's very worth it. Would definitely come back to try more flavors.

    I wanted to love the ice cream, but I was not impressed. After trying a few flavors I came to the…read moreconclusion that the consistency was more like ice milk than ice cream. The flavor combos - tahini fudge swirl, pistachio, lemon curd with blueberry basil swirl - sounded great. Unfortunately, the excitement for me was in name only. The tahini fudge was very toasty, but the fudge didn't hold up; pistachio had crunch but lacked the nut's flavor; the lemon curd wasn't tart enough for me, nor did I get much flavor from the blueberries. If you like a less creamy ice cream you'll like the texture. I'll try a vegan option the next time.
