    I was in the area earlier today and decided to stop in. Because I'm greedy a grabbed a few treats: an Oreo pop tart, crumb cake and coffee cake. My favorite was the crumb cake. Be warned it's very buttery/greasy but still very good. The crumb cake was a little on the dry side but the crumb topping was excellent. My hubby is an Oreo fiend and was vary happy with his choice. The center of the pop tart was filled with Oreos to his pleasant surprise.

    Barry's Buns was a delicious sweet treat. I tried their maple bacon sticky buns at a food festival in Easton public market. Firstly the sticky bun was super heavy and dense. It was like eating breakfast. The icing was not to sweet and the inside was soft and gooey. Barry and his wife were really friendly and I learned that their products are home made and all natural so no artifical ingredients! Overall, I believe I paid 5.00 and it was worth it cause it would be challenging to eat at one time. BTW the sticky bun taste better warm, 30 seconds in the microwave does wonders!

    Barry's Buns is another small shop in the Markets at Wayfare on Germantown Avenue, Chestnut Hill. They do all manner of bakery sweets that go well with coffee for breakfast, or any other time of day when you desire a tasty sugar fix. When I was there on Saturday afternoon the market was packed with beer drinkers both inside and out. Perhaps because of that Barry's inventory was pretty much threadbare. All I saw were a few chunks of Crumb Cake, Jewish Apple Cake, and somethings that looked like fruit topped cupcakes. The woman working the counter was friendly and answered my questions about what was left and smoothly packed up my order of two Crumb Cakes into a white paper bag. My sense was that as soon as her meagre stock was gone, so was she. If she had been willing to sell that apple cake by the wedge, rather than requiring the whole kubboodle go at once, I would have been happy to grab a handful. I love Jewish Apple Cake, but I didn't want the temptation of bringing it home in my car. I couldn't trust myself not to dive in and fist large handfuls into my mouth like the 8 year old kid lurking within would do. I did more calmly sample a piece of the Crumb Cake on the way after stopping at Poppy's Cafe for hot coffee to wash it down. It was excellent - still moist, soft, sweet, with clumped brown sugar/cinnamon/butter embedded within like a happy toy in a Cracker Jack box. Clearly have to come here earlier in the day to have the most choice.

    Please. Pass on these. These were overpriced and dry. Stale. I went on a Saturday- about 2pm. We went to LEGO land and took a ride to a lovely district. The drive is beautiful and the neighborhood is outstanding. This bakery is located in a market and there is a little kiosk. I am so disappointed I spent $10 on bread pudding and a sticky bun. It was absolutely stale, gunky and smelly.

    After eating two of the three buns we brought home, I wish we bought more. Our trip to the market was inspired by trying these buns. We ended up getting a plain, a plain with cream cheese icing, and an apple topped. We asked the recommendation for heating (Barry said 25 seconds in the microwave) and headed home. So we've had the apple and the cream cheese one so far. Heated just enough, they're soft, doughy, and sweet without being cloying. With how good these were, I both want to try some of the other baked goods AND wouldn't want to deviate from what we enjoyed!

    Impression: just as the reviews say- this place was super- on seeing such beautiful luscious glazed Buns, you're already sold and wanting to get some! You can 6 buns for 15$, or each bun for 3$. The options are walnut raisin, raisin, walnut, Apple crumble, plain, seasonal special, cream cheese filled- their crumble and cake slices also looked phenomenal. Make sure to get some coffee or tea to go with these otherwise super sweet concoctions We got the box of 6 buns for 15$. I think the raisin and walnut raisin ones were my fav- microwave them the next day and they are magical. The seasonal we got was the coconut cream one and that was also good- the glaze on top is like caramel so it may get sticky on the teeth rather than the gooey stickiness that comes with normal buns. The caramel is what makes this super sweet too

    Barry's Buns is always delicious and never disappoints!! The owner Joel is so sweet and friendly. We recently ordered pies for our family holiday party and they were such a big hit. If you're in Chestnut Hill or Old City you need to stop in for a bun or one of their amazing baked goods!

    Most bakeries and pastry shops get good reviews on Yelp - people like sweet treats. But occasionally a place rises above the 'good' and enters the realm of outstanding and one of those places is Barry's Buns in Chestnut Hull. This delicious spot is found in the Chestnut Hill Farmers Market. Every offering here is top-notch. But what I really like is that it carries all the indigenous Philadelphia pastries. My friends from Europe love trying the unique Philly goods rather than the ubiquitous national items which you can get anywhere in America. So I will of course recommend their Philly lemon bars (or lemon squares), their sticky buns, crumb buns (or crumb cakes) and of course Philly butter cakes. And there are variations on these local treats - e.g. I recently had a peach cobbler sticky bun and a mixed berry butter cake. Staff is very friendly at Barry's Buns and indeed customers always seem to appreciate their patience while trying to choose which delicacies to purchase. Of course I'll be returning to Barry's Buns - it's only a few minutes walk from where I live!

    I've been craving bread pudding for weeks now so when I found a location in Yelp! near me I immediately made the trip to partake. This bread pudding was not worth the trip despite the deliciousness of the name, it was not good. It's obviously made with day(s) old bread which isn't a bad thing. The bad thing is it was so very dry. No moisture, no custard, no cream. I took one bite and although I could've whipped up a cream myself to enhance it, I was so disappointed that I just tossed it. Now the sticky bun while not as ooey, gooey sticky sweet as I like it was tasty.

    These buns are sent from HEAVEN!!! I can only imagine the calorie count but once you take a bite... it's like a mouthgasm . They have featured flavors like apple crumb, cookies & cream, strawberry cheesecake just to name a few. My favorite is the raisin walnut. They also have other goodies like red velvet cupcakes. Everything is DELICIOUS. The baker running the show is nice as well. Run here to get your sweet treats!!!

    $ 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.

    5 stars for Bud and Marilyn's? I recently gave The Love 5 stars for its fried chicken!…read more The Marilyn's Fried Chicken I had this evening was every bit as good! I'm not sure why I waited so long to try the chicken at Bud and Marilyn's, but better late than never! They serve a LARGE 1/2 chicken. I started with the thigh. I was smitten by the first bite. I was told the chicken is soaked in a buttermilk brine for 24-48 hours - dipped in a buttermilk dredge - covered with their 'secret recipe' seasoned flour - and fried in a 'pressure fryer' that cooks the chicken in 12 minutes. It was perfectly fried - so crispy - the texture and seasoning of the exterior coating was incredible. The chicken was tender and juicy - the thigh was the juiciest - I didn't get to try the drumstick as I was too full! I had the thigh and 1/2 the breast. The breast is my favorite and I savored each large delicious piece I broke apart. It's important to pick up the chicken and eat it by hand - I did cut mine in half for a picture - but didn't use a fork to eat it - you lose the 'panache'of the meal. I didn't use the hot sauce served with the chicken - I brought my own bottle of honey and poured it over the chicken and biscuits. It was heavenly! Which brings me to the Biscuits! The dish comes with 2 large fluffy buttermilk biscuits - they were golden brown on the outside and tender and fluffy on the inside! They had such a rich, buttery flavor. I took several pieces of chicken and layered them on pieces of biscuit, drizzled with honey! It was truly a 5 star fried chicken and biscuit dinner!

    I've been here a couple times. Loved it. Plenty of options and everything was well made…read more Everything I ate had a hint of decadence without being gross or unhealthy. This is my new go-to for chicken & waffles. Concise, excellent beer selection. And interesting, well-made cocktails. The banana cream pie is one of my favorite desserts anywhere. Staff is friendly. Prices were very reasonable.
