    Absolutely wonderful service!! I came for kamala cookies, but instead, I got what they actually had in stock which was snickerdoodle cookie and pumpkin cupcake, and a pumpkin spice latte. Delicious and divine!!! I can't wait to come back for the kamala Cookies !!! Retro mellow music. I love this cafe. I love my time here!!!!

    I have driven past the night kitchen for years now and I finally popped inside the other day to check it out. They had an assortment of cakes, cookies, pies and other sweet treats. I decided to get a couple of their cupcakes (pumpkin with a cinnamon frosting, red velvet, carrot cake and regular chocolate with a vanilla buttercream). I mainly got the pumpkin because I'm trying to see if I actually dislike pumpkin flavor or the hype of it... turns out I really just don't enjoy pumpkin flavors things. The pumpkin cupcake was my least favorite of the bunch. The chocolate was good, very standard cupcake however the carrot cake my goodness 10/10 exceptional! The red velvet closely followed the carrot cake. All the cupcakes were moist and not overly sweet with the perfect pairing of icing. The cupcakes range from $3-$4 depending on the specialty level. They also range in sizes a bit. The service was good, I was helped right away. They are also a cafe so I believe they do some kind of food too. There are a couple of tables for seating inside. It was small but cute! ***chocolate cupcake not pictured as my husband ate it as soon as I placed them on the counter haha

    Our wedding cake
    Jess M.

    We absolutely loved using Night Kitchen Bakery for our wedding day (June 9th, 2024). The staff was very easy to work with. They were so kind and really gave us a nice space and explanations during our dessert tasting. They allowed us to try 4 different types of cake + several other desserts we were interested in for our wedding. I remember the chocolate chip cookies and SMORES BARS being super yummy!!! We went with both of those for our wedding day ontop of cake to have a nice variety for our guests. My mom said our desserts went so fast, she looked one minute and they were gone several later. We LOVED how our cake + dessserts turned out! We will defintely use Night Kitchen Bakery again for future events!

    My perfect cake

    My cousin introduced me to this bakery and I can only speak on the specialty cakes and let me tell you, they're STUNNING and absolutely the tastiest cakes I've ever had. That carrot cake (no nuts, which solidifies my firm belief that nuts don't belong in dessert...but I digress) was moist, flavorful, and I wish I had 19 more slices. I talked to Amy on the phone and she helped envision the cake that my dad and I would share for a joint birthday. I just mentioned books and scuba diving and they made it into the most amazing cake. I emailed the books and authors and I realized when I saw the cake that the designers must've looked up the books because they had the exact color scheme of the original books. The attention to detail was remarkable. I wish I lived in Philly because I'd go to this place every day of my life (okay maybe it's good I don't live in Philly...). Also they offer many discounts if you belong to local places (like the co-op). I love this bakery. I can't stop writing this review!!!!

    It's my birthday cake!

    Yesterday was my 50th birthday y'all. Yes, my big 5-0 just happened to land in the middle of a pandemic so of course I threw one hell of a house party. And I have to say that of all the good things I received my cake was the star of the show. I've had my eye on this cake for a few years ever since a friend posted a picture of hers on Instagram. I don't indulge in sweets because I have a milk allergy but for this occasion I made an exception and it was absolutely to die for. Sweet, tart, lemony and moist, if you like lemon bars or the like you will want this cake. You don't have to special order it because it's available daily but you should call ahead if you want an inscription. And don't be ridiculous and get the small one, just hand over your 30.00 for large and thank me later.

    Iced latte
    Vincent M.

    It's a cool little cafe/coffee shop/bakery. First things first: coffee. Though I usually go for a mocha latte, they didn't have their mocha/chocolate sauce when I went. No worries, I got a regular latte. What's important here, they use coffee ice cubes in it! Yes, you're not getting a watered down coffee. This time I was tempted for some baked goods and went for a little sampling. The chocolate chip cookie, a peanut butter cookie, and a snicker doodle, plus a carrot cake cupcake. My wife ate the cupcake, and I ate most of the cookies. Each one was good in it's own way. They're large, a mix of chewy and a bit crunchy around the edges.

    Lemon bar - doesn't look great but looks are deceiving
    Stephanie P.

    I was craving a lemon bar so I googled bakeries that had them and came across The Night Kitchen. I went last week and grabbed 2 - for some reason the lemon bars were more like lemon goo (they did not hold their bar form at all and were more like a pudding) but the flavor was spot on so I tried again today and got an amazing (and properly "firm") lemon bar. I haven't tried anything else there but everything in the cases looks great. They have a great variety of things from cookies to cupcakes and bars of all sorts. Definitely check them out!

    Our gorgeous wedding cake!
    Jessica C.

    From start to finish the staff at The night kitchen bakery left my now husband and I feeling like we were in great hands. As one of the bakery's we could choose that worked with our wedding venue, this whole process was simple, fun, and personalized. The tasting we had was adorable, we sat in the bakery at our table they set up just for us and they explained everything. As someone who likes to bake myself I didn't want that "fake cake" taste or look and this was important for our special day. They did not disappoint! Our gorgeous wedding cake was the talk of the day and it was delicious! We have since been back for pastries and such and I usually tell anyone and everyone about them. If you haven't already gone here... what are you waiting for!!

    For my birthday, my boyfriend commissioned a cake from Night Kitchen Bakery...as always, being loyal customers over decades, it was spectacular. He told the bakery elements about me, colors I love, themes that fit my personality, gave ideas to them and they created this. This cake is a dream come true to me. We truly were in awe by the craftsmanship and attention to detail. We did not want to cut it, I just wanted to look at it forever. We came up with taking high resolution photos to make a big framed photo of it to display in my house bc that's how amazing we found it. I truly cannot thank you enough. It's me as a cake!! This is why Night Kitchen Bakery is our #1 choice... best cakes in the world!

    $ well spent! Had a dozen hot, fresh, wonderful cookies delivered to our hotel room on a Monday…read morenight after midnight when nearly every other option, including the hotel bar & restaurant, was closed. A few additional cookies tossed in our delivery for free, made it feel like a better value since we had some leftover to enjoy with morning coffee. Anticipated a long wait given the time & day, but a friendly face handed them to us in less time than Domino's. The Deluxe cookies were a treat w/ the peanut butter varieties a fav, but ALL the cookies, including the ones I didn't pick, were delicious. A little annoying the upcharges for deluxe varieties when I thought that was the point of picking an option that includes them, but the additional free cookies helped soften that. A must for any overnight stay in Philly!

    Came in for the free taste testing and it was actually a blast. The flavors were fun, a little…read moreunexpected, and honestly way better than I thought they'd be for a big chain. After we finished, they handed us a whole box of cookies just for hanging out and giving feedback. That was a solid surprise and super generous. I swing by Insomnia Cookies on random days too because sometimes you just need a warm cookie to reset your mood. They always come out soft, gooey, and fresh from the oven. The store itself is clean and kind of cool to look at. There's a whole wall covered in giant industrial-style on and off switches. I still wish I could have pulled one just to see what would happen. Staff was chill and genuinely helpful. They were patient while we tried to figure out which cookie was which during the ranking, and they kept the energy light and fun. Same when they handed out the free boxes. Whoever runs the HQ location clearly knows how to make the experience feel special.

We ordered the crispy cheese curds (Wisconsin cheddar, smoked guajillo salsa, and charred scallion ranch). These were a unique take on the classic and I was here for it, definitely try these! I then had the wedge salad (blue cheese, nueske's bacon, cherry tomatoes, radish, pepitas, crispy onions, and thai basil goddess). There were no tomatoes on ours, and so we were given sliced avocado instead. This was an interesting attempt but not my favorite take on this dish, I probably would not get this again. However, the shrimp po boy buns came through to round off this meal! (crispy shrimp, smoky aioli, house made choppy chop, dill on two buttered potato rolls.) These were fantastic and absolutely fire. NOTE they are tiny, almost appetizer sized, which didnt bother me because after the salad and cheese curds I was feeling full already but I would go back and get two orders just for myself they were that good. All in all a great place, I recommend!
