I got the multigrain loaf and it was amazing. Too amazing to not know what is in it though. I'm concerned that there were no ingredients listed on the bag, nor on the website. How do people still get away with that? What if there was something I was allergic to? Staff seemed angry that I came in to make a purchase, so despite the great tasting bread, the over all experience was not very pleasant. read more

I ordered the ham and swiss sandwich and the cashier didn't ask me anything. Just took my money. Ok. Maybe what do you want on it? What type of bread? I decided to go with what came out. It had mustard on a marble bread. Not my choice but the bread on the sandwich was great.May be the thinnest sandwich I ever had. I was laughing and thinking this must be a joke. Don't order the ham and swiss sandwich! The bread was great and the chips were great-thats it. Not much inside to comment on . Maybe one THIN slice ham and one THIN slice of swiss.And the thinnest sliced tomato. Felt like I was robbed. Needless to say Im not going back. read more

Baker Street Bread - Sad sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I was pleasantly surprised by Baker Street! Good was good, service was great and the location was nice. Little more pricey than I would care for, but it wasn't bad. They have daily bread specials as well as seasonal specials. I legitimately wanted to buy a loaf of everything to try. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area! read more

Super cute little place with a really nice staff and great breads. Stopped in and got two egg and cheese sandwiches and some iced coffees on a Sunday morning. The brioche roll was great, and so was the egg and cheese on the sandwich but had to add salt for flavor, might try a cheese like Swiss or cheddar next time. read more

Baker Street Bread - Egg sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Great coffee, baked goods, and sandwiches. In fact, everything on the menu is fabulous. The staff is especially friendly. A must stop if your in Chestnut Hill. read more

Pretty terrible coffee and pretty crappy service from a couple of employees who definitely didn't "have a smile under their masks". Working these times is tough but you don't have to have a shitty attitude. Multiple "please" and "thank you" from me and not one from them! read more

Visiting the area for a wedding and I guess not a lot of options for breakfast in Chestnut Hill because the place was busy.. dirty, disorganized and worse, the food was subpar.. how do you mess up an egg sandwich? They accomplished it.. couldn't get over how the tables and floors don't get wiped/swept every once in a while.. look elsewhere read more

I have always liked Baker Street! Their breads are of very high quality and I like the cafe atmosphere. It's friendly, it's light-filled and airy, it's a popular place. And if you need a quick lunch while you are on the Hill, it fits the bill. I recently stopped in for a combo of their half-chili bowl and half-chicken salad sandwich. Though I like their chili, it needs a bit more spice for me. Too late I remembered that they have some good hot sauces available at the end of the counter. Also I like my chili served piping hot and not luke warm at best - especially on a cool, rainy day outside. The chicken salad sandwich was very flavorful. I could eat a whole plate of just their chicken salad it is that good. Prices are a bit higher at Baker Street but the quality is also on the higher side. Remember this friendly place when hanging or shopping in Chestnut Hill. read more

I am so disappointed. I hurried to get to the shop before closing at three o'clock, and arrived in time to get through the door, avoiding the customer before me, who was just paying for his purchase. A young lady curtly told me - "we're closed." Now, I'm thinking, what will they do with all the fresh baked goods, like muffins and pastries that were sitting unsold? Sell them the next day? Needless to say, because I was so rudely turned away, I won't ever be stopping here again. When you're in the fresh food business, when a customer is standing there, money in hand, it is ridiculous to brusquely send them away empty-handed. read more

Place is a bit of a mess. Coffee always seems to be could and using the espresso machine to heat it up is a horrible idea. They added more seating inside to the point you're just about shoulder to shoulder with the person next to you. There ever changing staff seems untrained and you're forced to let them control how much milk they put in your coffee. There Needs to be better management. On the plus side they don't have internet so the laptop crowd is minimal most of the time. Biggest pet peeve is the arrogant customers who park in the handicap space out front. read more

I remember coming here with my parents while growing up to get bread, pastries and chocolate milk. I think the pivot to a cafe after establishing the commissary was a smart move. The branding is nice, the space is open yet communal, and they offer a nice selection of breads, pastries, coffee, and breakfast and lunch options. There's a grab and go case for convenience. I had breakfast here with my girlfriend. She ordered the ultimate grilled cheese with ham and Dijon. They use gruyere and a decent quality ham, but the cheese was not melted enough and still cold in the middle. I ordered the baked French toast, which was basically a cinnamon bread pudding. Nonetheless it was delicious: nice cinnamon notes, tender with a bit of chew, and it is served with real maple syrup which is a huge plus for me. We also got some bread and a bag of the sweet dreams cookies to go. The cookies are delicious with a chewy cakey texture, cinnamon, just the right amount of walnuts, and chunks of dark chocolate. The staff seemed a little disorganized, but very friendly and polite. We were a bit disappointed that the POS system does not allow customers to tip with a card. Would love to see management offer this. We had to walk to get some cash for a tip. read more

Came here for an impromptu lunch today. I ordered the avocado toast. It was quite LOVELY!!! Very flavorful, fresh and it hit the spot. Wish I ordered 2!! The bread is toasted with coconut oil a generous spread of avocado topped with lemon, sea salt, parsley & tomatoes. One piece was $7.56, but I really enjoyed it. I got mines to go waited minimal time. The have pastries, fresh breads, cookie dough, chicken/ tuna salad & fresh garden type salads for sale already prepared. Cookies, granola, teas, la Colombe coffee are also available. Stop in and check them out.... oh!! I also got an apple fritter not my favorite but I'm REALLY picky. read more

European style bread bakery. Live their breads and brioche rolls. Served them at a party and guests were amazed. Shop also sells La Colombe coffee which is great. Breakfast and lunch meals have been delicious and fresh. Avocado toast, chicken salad sandwich and soup all very tasty. read more

Great spot. Always fresh and delicious bread and pastries. Great setting and friendly staff.

White painted brick walls, old tin ceiling bright lighting and lots of bread, it's almost like you are in France. La Colombe coffee speaks for itself. Really great choices for breakfast and lunch. The redesign is great. Missing unfortunately, is the smell of baking bread that use to fill this space. All of the bread baking has been moved to another location. The redone Baker Street is welcome breakfast/lunch spot on the Hill The egg sandwiches taste great read more

one of the best egg sandwiches i have ever had in my life. the bread with the sandwich was amazing. good iced coffee too

Love it! Baker Street, in its new incarnation as a cute little cafe, is now officially my favorite breakfast in Chestnut Hill. The "Californian" egg sandwich is perfection, and the apple fritter was decadent and very fresh. I will be back, regularly. read more

Been coming here since it opened and have sampled every tasty bread, cookie, scone they bake - I've had them all! Now I'm ready to try their new items. I would give the bakery 5 stars if the breads were a little more sturdy in texture - that's the reason I like better the loaves baked by Metropolitan Bakery. I was sad when Baker Street moved its baking operation to south Philly, and I waited patiently for the planned cafe. Wow! The cafe was worth the wait and they're really bumping up their offerings with a nice selection of breakfast and lunch plates. So glad I work just a block away because the cafe will definitely become a regular jaunt for me. Hours will be 6 to 6 after Thanksgiving. read more

Ok let me just say this is not my first bad experience but I wanted to give them another try lets just say if your black be wear to get precut bread that's been on the shelf for day I stood there and watch them cut the other folks bread while they stand there and when they got to me they had me hard bread this is the second time this happened to me I took it to remind me that I'm never spending my money in there when I ask why I can't get mines cut she look at me with a funny look on her face so I just left because I didn't want to look like the angry black woman so if you don't believe me try going while be black and see the difference for your self read more

this is a great neighborhood steeple but I would even travel there from outside of the neighborhood. The people who work here are always so nice and so happy to help you and take great pride in the work they do. The food is always delicious and always feels clean and healthy and the baked goods always taste fresh. My only complaint would be they can't keep the oatmeal raisin cookies in stock enough. read more

The new cafe space at Baker Street is very nice. They have added a breakfast & lunch menu to their usual bakery fare. I've only tried the Californian but it is quite tasty. They also have a full coffee/espresso menu. read more

Your tummy will start to growl as you approach Baker Street Bread Co. ...the smell of the fresh bread wafts out the door before you even walk inside! There are so many varieties that it's hard to just choose one (but the sourdough, French Boule and Hearty Whole Wheat are my favorites). They also make an amazing challah that always gets rave reviews when I serve it at big dinners. Make sure to save room for the big chocolate chip cookies, too. They rock. read more

We only just started coming here recently because the grocery store either stopped stocking or always seems to run out of sourdough, and also I didn't realize what a bread snob I am. The boyfriend and I wandered in today to replenish our bread supply and also tried out their artisan pizza slices for the first time. We just sat in the car in stunned silence, me with my spinach and ricotta, he with his pepperoni slice. We also picked up a tub of cookie dough and whipped up a small batch in the toaster oven for a snack. Amazing. Cinnamon rolls. Also amazing. The staff out front aren't especially effervescent, but you can see the bakers happily kneading away behind walls of bread, and that's enough for me. read more

Baker Street is my favorite place in Chestnut Hill to get bread, no doubt. Just walking into the shop makes me happy - with the high ceilings, shelves stacked with tantalizing loaves, and the warm, yeasty smell that envelops you, it's sort of like you've entered a holy place of baked goods. San Francisco Sourdough and Italian and my favorites, but the French Boule is also a staple at our house. Giant chocolate chip cookies are great, made even greater by the fact that Baker Street sells the COOKIE DOUGH for you to take home and...bake. Because that's what you'd do with a giant container of cookie dough. You'll pry the carbs from my cold, dead hand, and I hope they're from Baker Street. read more

My first visit to Baker St Bread this morning. My visit is happily "accidental" as I wait for Millenium Nails to open. I'm sitting outside enjoying a toasted everything bagel with schmear and slices of onion and tomato. The bagel is fresh and lightly toasted with a good crunch and the veggies fresh although I could use a bit more of them. Total price was about $3.50. A bargain compared to the new deli down the street that charges $5.25 for bagel and schmear only. I'll review them separately. The young staff are cheerful and eager to help and answer questions. I will definitely be back. BTW the breads look amazing. read more

Yum! I walk by this place all the time and it is quite difficult to not stop in every single time based on the wonderful smell alerting you to its presence. When we've gone in, I've gotten bagels, cream cheese, loaves of bread, coffee, scones, and sticky buns. All have been delicious and I have gone back for seconds for most of the things (waistline permitting). The staff is friendly and makes superb recommendations (try the cherry vanilla scones!) Another note- if they don't have the type of bread you're looking for, you can request that it be made and pick it up later. Last note- $10 minimum for credit cards (I never carry cash, so this is always something to keep in mind) read more

the food is generally bland and flavorless and can sometimes inspire a mild sense of nausea. the food is overpriced. the management is definitively unhelpful and tends to verbally attack those who complain about the food. I don't understand why they still have many customers. I guess that the neighbors have lost their tastebuds because of the cloying taste of tin cans in the baker street bread food. read more

I'm not a huge bread snob so the bunch of times I've been to Baker Street Bread Co have been for one of two things: Tomato Pie or Spinach and Ricotta Pizza. Both are amazingly good and definitely worth a stroll there! read more

I love this place. Their bread, cinnamon rolls, tomato pie, cream cheese, croissants....etc are all delicious! Get there early on the weekends if you want a good bagel selection. I showed up after 10:30am last saturday and had to settle for wheat and plain (both were still good but i was craving poppy or everything). read more

Good? Yes. Excellent? Yes. Obscenely overpriced? Alas, yes. It is the pricing, and not anything else that knocks this place down to 3 stars from 5. As wonderful as the bread here is, I still think it is priced too high, to the point where it does not offer good value for your money. I recently got a large loaf of bread and it was about $5.50. For the amount of bread I bought, it should not cost that much. The prices are not posted/advertised, which would not bother me if they were reasonable, but it makes me suspect that they know their high prices would turn people away, and are making a conscious effort to hide them. I used to work at a bakery in Lancaster, PA, and the owner would get bread from various Philadelphia bakeries to try it out, and both of us were a fan of this one. If this bakery has a niche, it would be sourdoughs. This place really knows how to make a sourdough. I was pleased to return years later to find the bakery still here and still making good bread. I didn't ask how much things were and was a bit shocked when I got rung up at the register. Bottom line? I wouldn't buy bread here more than sporadically. I don't see why it needs to cost so much. If the rents in this neighborhood are too high, if the cost of employing people in this area too high, then maybe land values and rents need to fall a bit. There are vacant storefronts up and down the block and plenty of unemployed people about. High prices are bad for our communities and bad for America. When I pay $5.50 for a loaf of bread, someone is siphoning off money--I don't care if it's the owner, the landlord, or who it is. I just want to pay a fair price for what I get and no more. This place needs to find a way to knock $1 off the cost of all its loaves, and if it can't do that, I'm not coming back. read more

If I could eat from only one place for the rest of my life, the food would be from Bakers Street.. They've got everything from savory to sweet, light to rich. Since I've been working in Chestnut Hill, Bakers Street Bread has been a staple--I have no idea how I had lived so long without them! If you've never been there, you haven't lived yet (if you think I'm kidding, just you wait and see....) read more

Went on a Sunday mid-morning with a line out the door. The customer's orders were quickly taken and we got to the head of the quickly. We had their signature breakfast sandwiches, cinnamon rolls and lattes. All excellent! read more

Their bagel are delicious and their bread is always great. Coffee is ok. I'm a coffee snob, sorry. That staff is always friendly. I want to try their fresh pizza that they make everyday. Looks delicious. One thing I would like to understand is why it is so freaking hot in there 24/7. I feel bad for the staff. Obviously, the heat is from the ovens, but it is annoying as a customer to be drenched in sweat after being in their for less than 5 mins. read more

The steamers are fluffy and delicious! The brioche bun is the softest freshest bread I've had in a very long time! My BF has the bacon egg and cheese, and so had the Californian. We were really happy and full. The sandwiches were huge! We can't wait to try the others as well as the breads! read more

Omg best bread in the world. Friendly and quick staff. Good sandwiches, breakfasts, and coffee. And did I mention, the best bread in the world. Don't believe me? Order the Artisan toast (just their bread and butter) and you will be transported!! One drawback, they don't have WiFi and it is a great location to sit and get work done. read more

Baker Street is where I usually go when I need nice bread for dinner, or because I can't find challah at the grocery store. I'm no bread connoisseur but I've never been disappointed. However, I do have to agree that this place really stings the wallet. I understand the prices of basic things like flour have been on the rise but $4.25 for a baguette seems excessive even if it does have Parmesan cheese on it. What Would The French Do? Well, first they'd probably be disgusted at the thought of a cheese adulterated baguette... but past that.. what? Good bread, just not suited to the thrifty twenty-something's wallet. Something to look forward to. (And as always, remember, three stars isn't a bad review.. it's A-OK!) read more

Really cute little bakery. Selective menu of some reallllllyyy good bread. The challah and toasted parmesan focaccia bread were delicious. Definitely looking to buy something different next time around. They have tea and coffee some bagels. read more

Great place with great baked items and bread. They do a great job with their business and I'm sure it's hard to exceed all the over the top expectations people have nowadays. I think they're great and thankful for their business being close by to my home. read more

What a gem this place is. Amazing products, even better service. Their breads are the best in the entire Delaware Valley, bar none. We in the suburbs forget how close Chestnut Hill is, and this place alone is worth the few minute drive. Great coffee, I'm all about local over Starbucks. What the heck is a Kouign Amann? Go ask for one and you'll be hooked! read more
