Very good Ashkenazy bakery that we stumbled upon while wandering through Northern Liberties. I grew…read moreup eating the reheated hot dog stand knishes before they disappeared from the streets of NYC, and so the flaky, delicate potato knish being produced here was a (pleasant) shock to my system.

I ordered cheesecake and a few cookies, obviously expecting the cheesecake to have the crust but…read moreno. It was just a cut of straight cheesecake with no crust. Mind you there was 2 hairs INSIDE the cheesecake, and Im so upset about it because their service was so nice and they were so quick and sweet. But I expected better from the pastries themselves.

I mean, it's almost impossible to leave without being tempted by the display of cookies. We visited twice. We tried chocolate chip, dark chocolate oatmeal, oatmeal raisin, peanut butter chocolate, blueberry muffin, and pumpkin snickerdoodle. All were fresh, soft, and chewy. I think my favorite was the blueberry muffin and snickerdoodle. We really liked all of them. Service was great! There's not really any particular line. The staff behind the counter will come up to you when you're ready to order. It's all done in a very orderly & quick way. A must stop when in Reading Terminal Market.

BEST BLT I'VE EVER HAD…read more Visited at 9:40 AM on a Saturday and there was a long line but it moved fast. BLTs started at 10, so our timing was actually perfect. The BLT is seasonal, but I'd return to try the breakfast sandwich, which is usually what they have instead. Brown butter chocolate chip jawn was also great. Definitely want to try more pastries next time too. But yeah, the BLT is incredible.

Cannot wait to come back!

((4.25 stars)) Lost…read moreBread Co. is a bakery + mill in Philadelphia with a presence at the Union Square Greenmarket in NYC on Wednesdays, Friday, and Saturdays, currently. visited its bakery stand fairly recently, while in Union Square. a number of different types of bread are sold here from sourdough to baguettes to focaccia as well as a number of different pastries like cookies, scones, muffins, and more. there's a lot of variety packed into this small stand. ended up picking up a rosemary blue cheese scone because i wanted something savory and not overly sweet. while i can say this was excellently made scone--nice tender crumb (interior) as it was soft but not overly dry crumbly; the sweetness was faint, but it had nice buttery smoothness taste throughout, and the scone itself had weight to it, but also was not heavy feeling or tasting...it maintained that lightness all the same. my qualm with the scone was there was no taste or small hint of rosemary or blue cheese. it was like both were vanished from the entire scone during its making. while this was a nice proficiently-made scone, the lack of the blue cheese and rosemary flavors was kinda a miss. not a huge deal because the scone itself was very good even without these "umami" elements. i am sure it would have been great with the missing flavors. maybe i got a misfire in terms of the scone or given the wrong one, perhaps? idk. the stand is a one-person show, so patience is a virtue when a small crowd gathers at it...as you have to wait for people meandering into the stand to look at everything and then purchase nothing...lol...welcome to the tourist mindset invading everyone in NYC. service felt a little bit chilly, imo, and might need a little bit of warming up. it can't be easy working a stand all day in warm to hot weather, maintaining it/setting it up, and keeping up a lively attitude. anyway, the service was quick nonetheless and maybe the person was having an off day. anyways this stand is worth a visit as the baked stuff does look good and the Lost Bread Co. is committed to using only "clean" ingredients that are not mass produced or adulterated as well as adhering to non-harmful practices in baking and throughout its supply chain. and that's a good thing as a whole to support in a bakery or any other type of business.

The pastry's are great. I had their blueberry bun and it was not too sweet! Loved it!read more

The service was amazing and it fast especially for one person, the bagels were put together nicely and tasted as if it was made carefully. The place itself was a very "hole in the wall" kinda place it is definitely a place you have to be aware that it's there, I would love for there to be an area to sit down inside but it's small so it's understandable. Overall they did a very good job with the bagels and the service and I hope they can grow to make it to a larger spot, will definitely be returning.

The bakery has amazing fresh bread and stunning goodies like fresh apple cider donuts filled with buttercream frosting? Who knew that magic existed?

We…read moremissed out on the pies earlier this week, because they sold out completely and had to close up shop. This time, we bought the pies as soon as they opened and ate them while waiting for our flight back home. We got the graham cracker crust instead of the traditional and it elevated the whole thing. The pie was sweet, but not overly sweet. Perfect. That is the word of the day. My only regret is not getting a pie a day while visiting Philly.

Not sure if she is the owner or partner; but, read the market honey! Someone is asking you a million questions , there is a line , said customer isn't buying ANYTHING, and I ask, "how much is this box" and you point your finger at me and tell me to "just wait" in a tone that you should NEVER use towards A long-standing CUSTOMER (or anyone quite frankly!). ok, I bought the box ... You were RUDE... and NOW(!) you can wait for me to ever buy anything from you --EVER AGAIN...

Gaetano! Canele'!…read more Gaetano was a previous yelp friend, ( you know the one with the pirate picture ) and I was fortunate enough to meet him in real life at the new year 'round farmer's market at the Piazza @Schmidt's, which is open every Saturday morning and early afternoon. His nickname is Gil and he has been very busy indeed with these little bites of heaven called a canele'. Gil introduced me to these delectable treats that are golden caramelized cakes on the outside and form a rich rum custard on the inside. The brass or copper fluted pans are coated with a thin layer of organic beeswax which helps to harden the outside, sort of like the topping a creme brulee would give and allows the rich custard to form its base within the center of the cake. This magical confection dates back hundreds of years from the Bordeaux region of France. Made from milk, eggs, butter, flour, rum, homemade vanilla, rum ( did I say that again ), sugar and a bit of orange zest, the custard batter is baked in a mold, giving the canelé a caramelized crust and custard like center. The Market Day Canele' makes them right here in Philadelphia when you can not get to Parisian patisseries or the Bordeaux region of France. They sell them at La Colombe at Rittenhouse, Pumpkin Market., sometimes Whole Foods on South Street has them, Clark Park Farmers Market, The Piazza and at Headhouse beginning in May. Folks can order them by contacting Gil@MarketDayCanele.com. My caneles' never made it home, but I can not wait to buy many more of these bite sized treasures to enjoy with an espresso, a cold glass of milk, a good wine or a glass of champagne. A gastronomical delight. I want a canele' or three right now!
