    Strawberry pop tart pastries and coneles
    Stan H.

    Thank you Bread Queen for mentioning this place! What I believe to be another independent bread place but I like this one more. A few tasty pastry options on-site. Parking lot is small- I suggest parking on the side outside, watching for traffic carefully, and entering the premises. Elixir coffee in a coffee container might be outside. A small cafe would be nice with coffee equipment but then Dead King would need to be open to the public longer and more days. Weekly quality bread would be too much for me and I don't live close enough, but the distance is worth it for me for planned drives. Nestled with a lumber company in tow, and when I went, Chestnut Hill library pop-up was next to Dead King. it is sure a treat for a different food experience. You know it is local when a staffer, probably an owner?, asks me if it's my first time and if I'd heard of them from the Internet. I thanked the Yelp Bread Queen (There is a reason it is called Dead King- kidding) for bringing me here!! (P.S. 5/13/24: I play chess competitively. See a connection? Unintended pun that is now intended.) Strawberry pop tart pastry has a good amount of flavor and not too generic flavoring like Kellogg's. I also got chive and herb bread pastry and Black Olive bread not on the display case menu. The pizza dough container I got, I love the size but 500 F seems to be too high for the instructions for 1-2 hrs as my pizza burned too much after 49 minutes. This conele, which I got because I had no idea what it was, has slightly burnt edges for the flavoring with I believe a slight coconut filling. So good. Something maybe you could find at Maman, but this was (also) at Dead King. If you don't have a car and if you can walk, it is worth it. But you have to be really good with planning, bearing the elements, geography/using your devices to guide you well. Get off Ivy Ridge station and make the 8 min walk up a hill. Hopefully you don't get too sweaty. There's probably a bathroom to freshen up somewhere. Oh and don't get there early. In fact, this review should've been forbidden! Leave all the good things for me!

    Finally had a Saturday free to go check out Dead King Bread's new retail space. Yay me! DKB began during the early pandemic days baking and delivering craft breads to people who ordered in their local area. Recently they decided to launch retail sales. They're tucked into a space inside Manayunk Timber (which is also a cool space). Good signage makes them easy to find. I feel a little like Dorothy entering Oz, the bright yellow floor leading me to the Wizard of Bread. This wizard is not a charlatan though! I picked a couple of loaves of their sourdough off the racks as I was waiting in line for the counter. They're a a handwritten list of what's available with prices. Today they had an experimental sourdough milk bread, only one loaf per customer. I of course got a milk bread, the traditional sourdough loaf, a slice of Orange cake and a coffee cake muffin. O how was it? AH MAY ZING. The orange cake was not crazy sweet, it had a hint of tart orange flavor which I loved. Light sugar glaze balanced against tartness without overpowering it. Coffee cake muffin crumbly & moist. Blueberries in the muffin added some pops of earthy sweet. The sourdough milk bread may be my new favorite bread ever. The softness of the loaf plus the tang of the sourdough .... Heaven. Staff were cheerful and attentive, not rushing customers but also not slow. Will I be back? Um YEAH. You should go too! They often sell out do get there early if you can.

    $ 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.

As it turned out, we were seated at the very same table and were fortunate enough to have the same waiter, Simone. Gran Caffè L'Aquila offers authentic Italian cuisine, and everything we ordered on both visits was delicious and beautifully prepared. We truly enjoyed every dish we tried. The restaurant itself is small, cozy, and full of charm, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. And a special mention must go to Simone. He is exceptionally friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. His warm and professional service made both of our visits even more enjoyable, and we were delighted to have him as our waiter again. We will definitely be returning to Gran Caffè L'Aquila, and we certainly hope Simone will still be there to welcome us. Authentic Italian food, a charming atmosphere, and wonderful service -- a place we are very happy to have discovered.

They definitely seem consistent, which I really appreciate. I came with a couple of friends on a Saturday afternoon, and wow... this place was packed. Even with the crowd, the staff stayed friendly and worked quickly, so we didn't have to wait too long for our drinks. One thing I still love is the seating. They have giant plushies sitting in the booths, so if you're by yourself, you're not just awkwardly staring at an empty seat across from you. Maybe I'm the only one who appreciates that, but I think it's a cute touch. The matcha here is the real deal. It's bright green, fragrant, and has that rich, earthy flavor with just enough natural bitterness that you know they're using quality matcha. A lot of places advertise matcha, but this one actually delivers. I ordered one of their matcha desserts with ice cream, and it was creamy, refreshing, and let the matcha flavor shine instead of burying it under sugar. My only complaint is that it was pretty warm inside. It was a hot summer day, and I honestly couldn't tell if the air conditioning was running or if it was just fans. Either way, it wasn't very cool inside. Thankfully I had ice cream, so it didn't bother me too much, but it's something to keep in mind if you're stopping by on a really hot day. Overall, another great visit. Friendly staff, consistently high-quality matcha, and a fun atmosphere. If you're a matcha lover, this is still one of my favorite spots in Chinatown.
