Apparently if you order something that goes out of stock while you're picking things out, the system may not flag it (looks like it processed the order) but they never see it.

Was bummed that I missed out in the Valentine's strawberry cardamom jam-filled hearts thanks to the ordering system though. That's what I get for procrastinating!

The pastry's are great. I had their blueberry bun and it was not too sweet! Loved it!read more

The service was amazing and it fast especially for one person, the bagels were put together nicely and tasted as if it was made carefully. The place itself was a very "hole in the wall" kinda place it is definitely a place you have to be aware that it's there, I would love for there to be an area to sit down inside but it's small so it's understandable. Overall they did a very good job with the bagels and the service and I hope they can grow to make it to a larger spot, will definitely be returning.

Now that I live near Kettle Black, I swing by regularly to see if the line has died down and there…read moreis still food left. I think my original experience was tainted by the long line. I don't like to wait in line, and the too-hot coffee colored my experience. I don't wait in line, but I've warmed up to them. They make some good croissants. I love their baguettes and sandwich loaves. My husband loves their bagels and focaccia. There are often pretzels left, and we still enjoy those. On a weekday, I'll walk past on my way to the El and stop in if they are still open. My Center City co-workers get to enjoy Kettle Black without the line! I like that they have vegan options and try to score those if my vegan family members will be visiting.

I bought two bagels with specialty cream cheese, a cinnamon roll with icing, a jalapeño cheddar…read morepretzel, and a cheddar jalapeño focaccia loaf. The bagels were fresh and soft with the little bit of tanginess expected from bagel dough, and the additional flavor from the everything seasoning and cheddar blended with the cream cheese well. Cinnamon roll was also softer than expected with just the right amount of icing, like an upgrade from the classic Cinnabon roll. Focaccia was moist and flavorful, great for sharing at my family party. Didn't get to taste pretzel because it was for my boyfriend. Tip 1: Come here before 9! I came too late at 10am one day and everything was already sold out. Kettle Black fans are BIG fans! In warmer months, people might start lining up at 7:30 just before opening at 8 for the best stuff. The second time I came, I rolled up at 8:45 to find a long but reasonable line. Like, maybe a 15 min wait to get inside. Some items (everything cheddar bagel and pretzel bun) were sold out, but many items were still in stock. Tip 2: Get specialty cream cheese. I got a bacon cheese pepper cream cheese, which had thick chunks of bacon mixed throughout and it was much better than expected thanks to the meatiness. There typically aren't sandwiches like lox bagels available. Tip 3: Highly recommend the hot coffee. It's their own blend that they get from a specialty roaster and it's got this mellow flavor without being bitter or sour. I needed to put in extra effort to get here, so I wouldn't come in every week. But it's a nice treat every other month. Other notes: Staff was very accommodating and patient, seemed happy to be there, and gave me great advice. Not a place to sit and eat, more of a grab-and-go.

A loaf of bread will run you at minimum $7. However, this is the kind of bread that will slice the roof of your mouth if you're not careful. 10/10 experience.

My thought is that I could be an entire loaf of their premium ingredient for the same cost as one of these breakfast sandwiches. I will say my party had sandwiches and they were all satisfactory and artisinal-looking

I wasn't sure when I would get to visit Rougarou Baking, as it's only open Friday, Saturday and…read moreSunday - and I'm usually in the suburbs on the weekends. However, I was in town today, and thought I would see what this new Queen Village bakery was all about! The bakery, started by a couple, Zach and Paige Wernick, who had extensive baking experience, opened a few months ago. They were both there when I visited. I arrived at 10 on a Friday and they had sold out of several items I was hoping to try (Challah and Cardamom Bun). However, I made the best of the remaining pastries, and tried what was left. I started with the Chocolate Babka - as it has already made a 'reputation' for itself. (When I left the store, I went around the corner to Spread Bagels. The bagel baker's eyes lit up when he saw the babka! He knew it was from Rougarou and said "It's the best!"). I bought a whole babka as opposed to a slice. I'm very selective about my babkas. I like many different 'varieties' - the biggest difference I see among babkas is the layering of chocolate. Some babkas are a 'traditional' version with a moderate layering of chocolate - others, have several layers of chocolate making it denser. Rougarou has a thicker layering - which I believe is the more popular version. The inside had a nice texture, was beautifully marbled, very chocolaty, and I tasted cinnamon! I was surprised as I'd had many cinnamon babkas, but never a chocolate babka with cinnamon! It was braided into the moist loaf, and was an excellent addition. It was a delicious babka! I also got the Coffee Cake; it had been sometime since I had a slice of coffee cake at a bakery. This 'cake' was in the shape of a circle and powdered with sugar. It was a fluffy and tender, and with the crunchy top, was the perfect coffee cake! I could easily have eaten another one. Next up was the Ginger cookie. I have a fondness for these cookies as I love Ginger - especially with sushi! I took a bite into the chewy cookie and immediately tasted the sugar sparkling crust, and then the chewy interior, with just the right amount of spice! There's something special about the 'tang' of ginger in a cookie! Last, but definitely not the least, was the Butter croissant! It was one of the best croissants I've had. It was deeply golden and as flaky as can be on the outside. The inside was so light and airy - you could taste the richness of the butter. I tasted a 'saltiness' in the croissant thinking they may use 'salted butter'. I noted online the bakery uses sea salt in some of their pastries to balance the richness of the butter. It added a savory taste in a way....and while I think I prefer the pastry without the salt, I was intrigued. I was having eggs at the time, and cut the croissant in half and put the egg inside. It was epic! The light taste of the salt made for the best 'breakfast sandwich' I've had in a long time! I will definitely order again-it's unique! While reading about the bakery, there was a note to arrive as early as possible! I'll be sure to be there next time when it opens!! It's a real jewel in Queen Village!

Philadelphia's best kept (vegan) bread secret. So if it is…read morea best kept secret, why am I reviewing it at all to "ruin the secret"? Well they have too much bread and they deserve your patronization for a quality product in a working class neighborhood. Pictured is a combination of 2 TooGoodToGo orders. A few people had some one offs I think, but you are supporting a local business. You can even park temporarily and there is a pick up window from the outside. You don't enter the building. They have a sign on the door telling you to go to pickup window. Just get a TooGoodToGo if you want something but aren't sure what and don't care if they offer it. If you are one person, try to give extra to someone on the street or friends. I found this place on TooGoodToGo and the name caught my attention. I didn't go to it right away because it is a drive for me. But then fellow Justin B. Yelp Eliter mentioned this place to me too and then I am like it must be worth the trip. If he still doesn't have a review on this place, you tell him! Lol. I then told my Baltimore friend that I am gonna try to take him here next time when he visits. I also really hope my vegan friends will appreciate this bread a bit later on. Btw, as I have been repeating to some friends, Even Madonna supports bread lovers! (Rolls eyes and inside joke that may or may not be pictured)
