I'm surprised this busy place has only 8 reviews at this point, but perhaps the locals want to keep it to themselves. Downtime definitely deserves its close to 5-star ratings. Like other Yelpers, I find the staff to be very friendly and welcoming. My experience with the baked goods is a bit limited, but they look great, and the few sandwiches I've tried were fantastic. A friend of mine raves about the bagels, which of course I've never made it in early enough to sample. They do sell out of the popular items! The coffee is excellent, and it's a wonderful spot just to take a break, have a coffee, and keep an eye on Germantown Avenue out their picture windows.

Do yourself a favor and get one of everything from Downtime Bakery! You seriously can't go wrong with anything you buy here. Super comfy, cozy and welcoming environment from the moment you step foot through the doors. There's merch, jam, and coffee on the left hand side and it is displayed beautifully. The fresh bread, pastries and sandwiches are also perfectly placed in a glass case in the middle. I knew I would be dining in today, but I gave in to temptation and got 3 other things to go. The Roasted Squash Focaccia Sandwich - let's talk about size. This thing was the size of my head. I could've easily split it in half but I devoured the whole thing like the true champion that I am. The squash, cheese and other veggies inside this sandwich were having a party in my mouth. There was a cauliflower sandwich as well but the squash one had my name on it. It's delicious and it fills you up. My to-go items: Gluten free banana bread, Eggplant Hand Pie and a small Spanish pastry with sugar pearls (I don't remember the name). I was so happy to be able to grab all three and can't wait to enjoy them later. The woman working the counter was very nice, attentive and efficient. She bagged up my to-go items in one bag and rang me up for everything together with my dine-in items. This bakery is truly one of a kind and it deserves all five stars!

Beyond great bagels and breads, downtime has some of the best cakes ever! They remind me of quarter sheets in LA! They made my dream brown sugar rhubarb cake for my mom's bday! Everyone is lovely and ordering was so convenient and easy. Cannot wait to order and visit again soon!

Baking schedule/Menu

Such a gem of a bakery. This was my first time coming here and it truly didn't disappoint. Everything here is baked fresh in house and you can tell by the taste. I ordered a sour cream and green onion & garlic bun to go, the Waldorf Salad focaccia sandwich, and the pickled carrot ciabatta sandwich. ALL OF IT SLAPPED. The people here are chill, nice, and live what they do. You can tell by the interation you have with them and the way they talk about their food. I swear I tasted the love when I bit into everything lol. The vibe here is cute, cozy, and small town kind of vibes. If you coming here for the 11 a.m. Sandwiches, make sure you show up at 10:50 cause that line can come out of nowhere. And yes the sandwiches are made with fresh baked bread. Come check this place out!!

So happy to have this wonderful bakery close by. As soon as you enter you'll want to buy one of everything because it smells so good! They're always happy to explain the details of each item and put out the most unique bakes. The bagels are delicious and baked fresh (made the mistake of toasting the first time) these babies don't need a thing but some cream cheese/butter or a sunny egg! My favorite item is the filled brioche, and the flavors are rotated quite frequently. Honorable mentions: baguette, country loaf, quiche, banana bread - excited to eventually try it all! It's a bit small inside with a few tables to dine in, but staff always keeps the line moving quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend keeping an eye on their social media where they post the bakes for that day/week.

Went for a quick bite and coffee after an overnight stay in Philly…read moreNever been to this area but it's cute and seems to have great location Front of the store is very homey and welcoming. Crepes, coffee, tea and pastries. Homemade flavors and they sell beans here. Staff was very nice and hard working The crepe was very filling and had plenty of customization options. Big respect for the additional curry powder, everything seasoning, garlic powder, etc. options Their pastries looked robust and delicious. Very nice selection and options. Saw a lot of original recipes I got a dirty chai with cardamom added. Love cardamom Brother got a wellness elixir which I really appreciated then having. Good mix of ingredients imo Indoor and patio seating. I'm glad we found this in the spurt of the moment

This was the first coffee shop I tried when I moved to Philly, and let me tell you...it did not…read moredisappoint. The staff is beyond helpful, friendly, efficient, and kind. The crepes are DELICIOUS. The coffee is tasty, flavorful, and provides the energy boost one needs to get through the day. However, the outdoor tables in the quaintest little town may be my my favorite part. I love people/dog-watching at the outside tables, while sipping on a Cardamom-Vanilla Latte on a nice Saturday afternoon. So much to love about this spot. I will be returning many times

Wow! What a great little neighborhood spot - wish I still lived in West Mt. Airy!…read more We went with a group of people a little after the usual lunch hour, but the food was excellent and nicely presented and the service was outgoing and friendly. I had the spicy tuna bowl and a couple of our group had falafel pitas and we all loved our choices which were delicious and prepared with excellent, fresh ingredients. It's a small storefront on a Germantown Avenue corner, but the vibe is friendly and welcoming and they make the most of that small space. Highly recommended!!

Hold your pearls, this one is going to be expensive!…read more Fresh ingredients. However, to-go orders were drenched in dressing. I didn't realize I should say 'on side' but they have taught me!! I had the poke bowl ($27) and wifey had the grilled chicken salad. Very little lettuce and a good amount of chicken. This is tandoori style with good flavor. The poke bowl I asked no onions, even the 'not even crunchy onions?' Question I said NO. My poke : 'no onion' was 2:1. Geesh! Brown avocados. Brown avocados on this $27 bowl that was to have a 'mixed' base of rice and mixed greens. More rice and drenched in dressing (and onions!!!). Small amount of poke. The website is antiquated or at least not mobile friendly. Call in your order and again, clutch your pearls. The tabouli salad was great and so was the cucumber lemonade. Cute small place with outside patio. They host music nights with no cover. I'd go back for the lemonade because I was not impressed with the amount of poke for the cost. I could hit up a sushi place instead!
