Very good Ashkenazy bakery that we stumbled upon while wandering through Northern Liberties. I grew up eating the reheated hot dog stand knishes before they disappeared from the streets of NYC, and so the flaky, delicate potato knish being produced here was a (pleasant) shock to my system. It's also small enough in size to serve as a quick snack. read more

Kaplan's New Model Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Kaplan's is truly a neighborhood staple. I go probably every other week for some bread, some bagels, or some pastries. And all for an extremely affordable price. read more

5 starts just for passing the 100-year mark! They must be found something right for that kind of longevity. They bake their bread fresh on site daily. Come here for rye (seeded or not), pumpernickel, challah, or old-fashioned white bread. They also have cookies, Danish, tea biscuits, knishes, coffee cake, and even a few slices of tomato pie. Staff are friendly. Cash is preferred. read more

I love this place and I go way out of my way to get there about once a week. I have been eating the delicious pastries (my favorite is cherry/cheese) but I just discovered their bagels (behind the counter) and schmeers (in the cold case). They are both delicious. The schmeers are very high quality--I've tried the salmon cream cheese and the veggie spread; the veggie spread is the best veggie spread I've ever had. I'm. still curious to know why it's called a "new model" bakery, though. read more

It's good in a pinch. Their bagels are fine, nothing crazy. The rolls are super super dry. It's a cute shop and an easy bakery to get to.

Fresh bread and mistake cookies and chocolate that still taste fine. The price is right, service was excellent, and pickup was fast. Just wish they offered this on weekends and that pickup time during the week was later on and it is hard for people to pickup 430-5 unless they happen to be off etc read more

I picked up some bread loaves here yesterday. It was easy to park and no wait when I went in the store. The bread I got was fabulous! It was my first time here but I will def be back to get more! The entire store smelled tremendous and everything looked delish and I will prob go back as soon as I finish these loaves. read more

The rye bread was great but the broccoli knish and the potato knish were pretty bad-flavorless, mushy, and gave me an upset stomach. I ended up putting butter and garlic powder on the potato knish just to get through the meal. Very disappointed by the experience. read more

The Black and White cookies are NOT made in-house. No one that works there knows what bakery they are delivered from, just that they come from somewhere in NY. Not a fan of the cookie regardless. read more

Obsessed with their danishes... and the fact I can still find a drink/pastry combo in Philly that's $5. Great staff, feels familiar even if you've never been there, and is a staple to the local community. Good loaves of bread. They take card, but bring cash. read more

I got a too good to go order here and it was 1000000 percent worth it. I loved all my items and loved that I was able to support a small business and combat food waste read more

The real deal for Jewish kosher bake goods. Honey cake is delicious. Highly recommend this bakery

This bakery makes me happy. Poppyseed hotdog buns, knish, horseradish cream cheese spread that I'm going to slap on a pumpernickel bagel, just wonderful. Everyone was super helpful and I feel fortunate to have a place like this so close to me. read more

Such a cute place, I was looking for snacks to take on the plane and chips don't cut it for me, I need pastries so I stumbled upon this place after brunch. Whatever kind of pastry that you want they got it for you and in multiple varieties. I got the banana bread and a pound cake that was wrapped up individually. It was very moist and delicious. read more

Off the chain! Great Jewish fare found here. Everything I had was amazing and the staff are particularly friendly. Normal deli type environment, I found it quaint and peaceful. Philly, you rock! read more

This is the perfect cute bakery set right by Liberty Lands. We love coming here after the park to grab a snack :) Pros - reasonable prices - the pizza knish is one of my favorites! Tastes just like a hot pocket - the ladies here are super sweet. Sometimes they give my toddler a cookie for free :) - muffins are moist and delicious (not overly sweet) - they participate in Too Good to Go and offer quite hefty bags of goods so nothing goes to waste Cons - wish they had a menu posted somewhere. Sometimes I don't know what the options are just from looking at the pastry read more

Kaplan's New Model Bakery - Cookies! - Bakeries Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

If you haven't stopped by Kaplan's for their Jewish Rye, you shouldn't. More for me. Kaplan's has been a staple in the Philly area for a long time! My grandmother used to frequent this joint 50 years back! Maybe not this location, but you get the vibes. They have it all. From fresh rye bread, bakery sweets, and coffee too. Everything smelled so fresh and the joint only allowed two customers in at a time. Very safe given the Covid-Times. Recommend calling for tour order a day in advance as they make their specialty rye breads to order only. What we snagged: -Large Jewish Rye. So damn good and so fresh. It was gone in a day... -Various danishes -Various cookies. All came to sub $30. Can't beat the price. We'll be back to share this rye with many friends and family. Again, don't go here. More for me. read more

Yummy! A traditional local bakery with fresh bread and pastries. A local tradition since 1913.

Great crusty pumpernickel and even better seeded rye bread for $4 a loaf, slicing optional, highly recommend! Also bakes seedless rye and marble rye. Opens early 7 days a week like a good bakery should. Claims to be Philadelphia's oldest Jewish bakery. As others have noted, this is a very small sales room attached to an enormous commercial operation. I tried a Kaplan's cheese danish also, perfectly fine but not up to the standard set by that delicious bread. Next time I'll try the cookies. read more

The breads here are excellent. But the lady handles breads with bare hands. This is especially bad because she also handles money. I am sure this is a health code violation. read more

This is an old fashioned bakery that celebrated their 100 year anniversary last year. The rye bread is the best I've ever had. It comes in several sizes, is sliced while you wait and freezes well. The pumpernickel and challah breads are also delicious. The cookies and pastries are yummy. The bagels are good too. Everything in here is good! They supply lots of stores and restaurants and have for years. The people are nice. We love talking to the ladies when we go which is about once a month! You can usually find parking by the park. If possible go a a weekday. read more

Super nice staff, really great prices, and excellent offerings! The bagels are the most affordable dozen bagels in town and have a great chewy quality to them- how bagels should be. They also have a ton of cookies and sweets that are sold by weight, and black and white cookies (my favorite nyc indulgence!). The challah is also always on point. The staff is super helpful, offering to help carry a big order down the block if you need a hand, and willing to put aside an order over the phone if you need to call ahead and pick up in your way to an event or work, etc. This has got to be my favorite low key bakery in Philly. read more

I drove 40 minutes to try this bakery based on a recommendation. I was excited to see Salt Sticks since I haven't had them in years. They were delicious and I also enjoyed the corn rye bread with garlic. My husband was happy with the black and white cookies Unfortunately they did not have any onion rolls and the raspberry horn I got was lacking. If I lived close I'd be back but it wasn't worth the drive. read more

I used to love this place I drove from Northeast and then when moved to Jersey still drove over for rye breads but went 2 months ago and the rye bread texture had changed I bought 4 large loaves to freeze, I could barely eat it the texture and flavor had changed. Has the texture and flavor have changed. I am struggling to fine that great bread again. Any suggestions read more

I bought bagels and I had a funny feeling. In addition there was no one in there. When I asked if they could cut them the one lady rolled her eyes so I told her to give them back. I got home and I tried them. A good bagel you can eat without toasting, nothing on them and they're delicious but these bagels wouldn't be good prepared in any way. They're soft but stale. The outside of the bagel is soft but when you pull a piece off it's not soft it's mealy and stale. Reminded me of a Wawa bagel in plastic wrap at the register. read more

I am originally from Philadelphia I live now in Florida and every time I come back home to visit I have to make a stop and pick up bread. They freshly made all kinds of bread and desserts as well. read more

Richard Kedanis The best "black russian bread" in Philadelphia. Good rye, challah and pastries, too. Suburban eateries come here for great bread. read more

Such a cute bakery. Staff is so friendly and helpful and the bagels were SOOOOO GOOD! I got half a dozen bagels and everyone enjoyed there's with cream cheese! Highly recommend if you live in this area to make this your bakery! YUM! read more

Kaplan's New Model Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Just a grimey commercial bakery with a storefront tacked on. I went here 3x out of convenience and that's gonna be it. Bagels are homogenous in texture like a grocery store bagel. Danishes were soggy and dense, like ones you'd find Saran wrapped at the checkout of a gas station. Coffee comes from a keurig machine. Probably not even rated for commercial use. If there is anything good at this bakery I don't know what it is. Everything tasted like 3 day old baked goods from a chain grocery. With so many great cafe options in the neighborhood this should be your absolute last resort. Staff was friendly at least. read more

I was visiting stopped in a VERY PLEASANT SURPRISE! Very friendly and attentive staff! They also had sugar free items! My new find

Woke this AM in Norris Square alongside my partner, who eschews early morning bites. Hungry for some good sticky buns, I pondered rationalising a 90-minute drive to Ocean City for some made by MALLONS - my favourite, but decided instead to locally find some, which Kaplan's offered. I got a sticky bun, a blueberry Danish, and an apple strudel. I found the sticky bun to be not very sticky, sweet, or moist; I consequently won't get another from Kaplan's. The strudel was moist and tasty; I'd get it again. The Danish, however, was the best - sweet and moist; I recommend it (and the strudel) to others. Kaplan's also offers bagels (among other treats and breads), which I've yet to try. read more

I should have known not to trust a kosher bakery open on saturday. They didn't know what was parve or not and as someone with a dairy allergy, this meant I could eat almost nothing. Also the cream cheese on the bagel my partner got is like the kind you might get in a little container at 7/11. Aimed at goys, from what I could see. read more

Kaplan's New Model Bakery - Bagel with cream cheese - Bakeries Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Haven't been to a legitimate bakery in a while, so I'm happy that this place is on my route now! I've tried some onion loaves, as well as a few desserts. Classic. So many options. They also sell eggs, cream cheese, drinks, etc if you want to complete your breakfast or dessert. Last time I was there, I was eyeing the chocolate chip loaf, so I hope that's everything I want it to be! I get my groceries from the Acme, but any baked goods should come from here. read more

While my neighborhood sprouts overpriced modern row homes the way a young teen sprouts pimples on their face, Kaplan is still holding court at 3rd and Poplar and keeping it real. Thank god. I will cherish and hold dear any neighborhood mainstay that reminds what this neighborhood was and what it will be. Folks, let's hang on to this one. No, it's not fancy or sleek or hipster-y in the least. It's got grit, it's legit and it puts out some damn fine baked goods. The ryes, the challahs, the pumpernickels- good grief - get yourself some. If you're a new transplant due to said new construction in the 'hood, do yourself a favor and patronize the joint already? For those not neighborhood adjacent, get yourself a little treat to take to Liberty lands or some bagels (with cream cheese) to go. read more

Every time I visit Kaplan's I always eave satisfied. Everything is always fresh and delicious!!!

The bread and bagels are delicious, and my 8 year old is a big fan of the pizza knishes - but if you really want to try something that will knock your socks off give a square of their classic coffee cake a try. Quite possibly the best coffee cake I've ever had. Delicious. read more
