Stopped in with some friends on the way to an impromptu church group gathering at their house. Our…read morehost ordered a dozen donuts of different flavors, and it was pretty cool to know that they donuts are completely vegan, which is great for those with food allergies. I tried some of the donuts later that morning for the first time, and they were really tasty, didn't taste at all different from any kind of regular donuts - bravo! I had stopped in one day to check on allergens, and while they are completely vegan, they do use nuts in some of their donuts, so that's something to be aware of around food allergies. That said, really tasty donuts, especially considering the fact that they're totally vegan!

While walking through Fishtown, we were craving some AM sweets. My partner spotted this place and…read morewe walked in. All of the doughnuts are vegan! Food: 5/5 We order 1 vanilla glaze and 1 cookies butter doughnut (each $3). They were so fresh and soft! My favorite, the cookie butter, is a clear crowd pleaser. A soft yeast doughnut, with a cookie butter glaze, and crumbled biscoff cookie. So delicious! Service: 5/5 We were immediately greeted, which was great for the gloomy rainy day. She perfectly explained each doughnut and let me ask my nerdy foodie questions. She was super nice and really brightened our day! All in all, definitely coming back! The doughnuts were clearly fresh and hit the spot! I hope the cookie butter is still around when I come back!

The staff here is so sweet! Walking in you're greeted with a case of sugary donuts to choose from…read more The staff is happy to walk you through any flavors or recommendations they have. They often have interesting seasonal flavors to try too. I wouldn't say the donuts are my favorite ever, sometimes the flavors aren't very punchy. But they definitely satisfy a donut itch. It's a tiny lil spot with not too many places to sit inside so make sure to pop by early or late in the day if you plan to linger.

Aside from this being the original location where the barista suggested the blueberry matcha latte w/lavender I love the customer service here. I promise to get her name next time but the barista is soo cute and stylish! I love her energy and she got me hooked on Matcha w/blueberry & lavender. I travel 25mins for both of them! Highly recommended

FRICKEN WONDERFUL SANDWICH!!!!!!!! Ramen thing is so worth…read moreit. It is all the toppings of ramen. The eggs were perfectly jammy without being too messy. The egg was honestly some of the best egg I've had. Every other topping also paired super well The bagels themselves have good crispy outside and are super soft inside. I also got a Frenchthing bagel since the pairing of lavender and savory is rare. I didn't find the lavender particularly present but a good bagel.

A great spot to get bagels, bialys, and bagel sandwiches…read more Their bagels are thick and soft, and I love their bialys! Unfortunately, I still have not tried any of their bagel sandwiches, but I will get around to it. The service is friendly and helpful. The space is small, so on weekends it does fill up and gets crowded. A definite must try if you are in the area!

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.

The GF waffle sandwich has a good taste as well but the texture of the waffle could be better, I'll let it slide though because I know gluten free is tricky. Cannolis are 10/10 and also enjoyed the banana pudding. 4 stars because some of your items come out a bit dry. The s'mores bar was too much crust and the flavor was off. The cosmic brownie was dry as well when I got it the other day. Figuring out how to retain moisture in your baked goods would make this a 5 star place. letting you know this because I want vegan establishments to succeed and have a good reputation I've been vegan for 12 years. Hope this helps
