Chicken cutlets, banana cream pie, and fried eggplant
Ashley K.

I totally get the hype because they were so good!!! Even if you eat them cold after getting them its still good!! I want more but sucks that the next time I am free is on Monday!!! I will have to make an effort or order on UberEats. Cute place inside and a little spot to sit for 2 if you're waiting for your order. Friendly staff as well and complete honest on the wait time that it was gonna be a 2 hour wait. Luckily I was in the area for a bit so it was worth it.

Banana Cream Pie Chicken Cutlets Chicken Caesar
Caitlin F.

Great food and even nicer people. The delivery company messed up my order - so Stephanie from the shop personally called me to let me know and when I decided to walk to get the order instead, she gave me a free cappuccino (delicious). Officially can vouch that the banana cream pie is worth walking in zero degree weather for!

Vanilla 3 tiered cake
Maryann H.

Ordered a custom vanilla birthday cake and was blown away by how beautiful the cake came out! I did not have any expectations except for the lettering on the cake, but the decoration came out beautiful and modern. The cake was also not too sweet and moist! I will definately be ordering more cakes from this bakery in the future.

a display of pastries in a bakery

Kay Kay's has been my family's go-to breakfast place at least a dozen times over the last 2 years since we moved only a few short blocks away. Not only are they quick and tasty, they're also super friendly and welcoming first thing in the morning. Pretty much every time we've come here in the morning my wife gets a bagel and cream cheese or a breakfast sandwich and I get a cheese and veggie omelette with potatoes for me and my toddler to share. My wife also often gets some type of fancy coffee and a pastry, which she has never been disappointed with. The first bunch of times I got the omelette I was very impressed with the size and taste. It is definitely enough for me to share with my kiddo, who is a pretty big eater! The only issue I had at first was the potatoes. Even when I asked to have them well done, they were often mostly raw, which is a huge bummer since it's half the meal. But the last few times I ordered I was pleasantly surprised to see that the potatoes were getting cut smaller, which definitely makes it easier to cook them evenly and avoid the dreaded raw potato debacle. We will happily continue ordering from Kay Kay's and hope you will too!

the front of the building
Leah M.

Kay Kay's has the Most friendly and helpful lady who is singlehandedly working the entire front of the store. She even upbeat during closing. As always any preordered items are ready at the requested or agree to time. This bakery says everything in the cleanliness of the entire store and the goods they produce. If you have a moment you can watch the magic happen in the 'bakery' behind the glass. I watched what appeared to be a 'wedding cake' being built, it was awesome to see. The interior decor is modern and well thought out, the outside is well kept and inviting. Every item I've purchased from Kay Kay's has been a work of art either in look, taste or both. The sticky buns and donuts are SPECIAL! They will make you pass any chain donut shop. I will go the extra mile as it's truly worth it!

Caramel chunks in iced coffee
Allie S.

I normally don't post reviews, especially for small businesses but I just had to do so for this situation. I ordered a small caramel iced coffee with a poppyseed bagel. The iced coffee was made quickly but was absolutely disgusting after tasting it. There were chunks of hardened caramel pieces floating in the coffee and a hardened layer of caramel all along the bottom. The bagel took almost 15 minutes to come out and was cold as soon as I opened it (I asked for it to be toasted). It was a real let down today, especially since I wanted to give a small business a chance and go there instead of Starbucks or Dunkin.

It was more of a croissant than the buttery pastry I associate kouign amanns with -Orange cardamom morning bun: My favorite of the pastries! Light, airy, and just the right touch of sweetness -Rhubarb danish: Very unique but not for me. The rhubarb was very tangy and a bit tough to chew. The texture was an interesting contrast to the flakiness of the rest of the pastry and the smoothness of the cream Unfortunately, I set my expectations a bit too high and the items I tried unfortunately fell short. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly! The line can get quite long, but the staff are really efficient and moving the line along. AMBIANCE Located in the Bok Building, there's ample seating in the general seating area right by and behind the storefront. The space is shared with other guests visiting Two Persons Coffee and the stores in Bok. I saw some people working/studying, but it can get quite busy/loud. PARKING Paid street parking is available at a limited capacity. Most people park in neighboring streets or take the bus. BATHROOMS Bathrooms are located throughout the building.

Pop's Bun Shop opened in the winter of 2024 by John and Karen Blisard, and by Sept. 2025, the shop…read morewas on Philadelphia Magazine's Best of Philly List. Sadly, the little outpost at the corner of Ninth and Catharine is closing. Today was the first of the last 3 days it's open. You may wonder why I'm writing such a long- detailed review on a shop that's closing - it's a tribute. I wish I could have visited it often - but while its history may have been short - my review will last 'forever'. I was standing in front of Pop's this morning just before 8 - it was opening at 9 and was expected to sell out within an hour or two. I was the first in line - there were about 20 people in line by 8:30 and double that number when it opened at 9. It was my first - and unfortunately - would be my last visit to the iconic bakery. It was early, I hadn't had breakfast so I got the Egg, Cheese and Tomato Chutney Bun. It was excellent! The bun was soft, light and had a perfect texture - a very fluffy egg, with cheese and a savory tomato chutney, made the sandwich so delicious! Next up, the Raspberry Kolache. While I was waiting for the bakery to open, I looked up 'kolache' online, as I'd not heard of it. It said 'soft, egg-y, buttery brioche roll, with a fruit filling on top'. Pop's Kolache was exactly that - the roll/bun had the same 'underpinnings' as the Egg Bun I'd just had. It was lightly sprinkled with sugar and had a luscious raspberry filling in the center that I made sure was included in every bite! What a great pastry whose origins are from the Czech Republic. You could say, 'I'm on a roll'! Next up, the Cinnamon Rolls! My pet peeve with cinnamon rolls is icing. I like icing, just not a lot of it. I may be in the minority here, but I don't like heavy, two to three inch layering of icing on a roll. These cinnamon rolls had the perfect amount of icing to roll 'ratio'. The rolls had the same fluffy brioche texture with swirls of cinnamon throughout. The buttery icing just enveloped the roll and I closed my eyes to truly savor the taste! Great Cinnamon Rolls! Last, but most definitely not least, the Sticky Buns!! If you've read any of my bakery reviews, sticky buns are near and dear to my heart. Not sure why, they just are. I quickly fell in love with Pop's Sticky Buns with Pecans - the brioche like bun, as with the other pastries, set the stage. See the attached picture - it's topped with a plethora of large, deliciously crunchy pecans in a deep caramel glaze. The cinnamon glaze was swirled throughout the bun - it undoubtedly will be a very memorable pastry on my list of sticky buns. It was certainly a special day - while I will, as will many others, miss this wonderful bakery, let's hope the Blisards continue providing their amazing baked goods to Philadelphians in the not to distant future!

When I heard Pop's was closing down, I had to check out what they were all about before they left…read morethe area. I pre-ordered the sausage and gravy bun along with some cinnamon rolls. The sausage and gravy bun was really good & super tasty but it felt like it was missing something. I think adding onions could take it to the next level. While it was enjoyable, it did start to feel a bit flat as we kept eating. Now, the cinnamon rolls were a different story! easily some of the best we've had. We popped them in the microwave for about 15 seconds, and they came out warm, soft, and absolutely delicious. Every bite was perfect. I really hope they're able to reopen somewhere closer to the city because I'd love to try more from them.

The service…read morewas amazing from the start, they let us sample a bunch of flavors and honestly every single one was so good that it made choosing stressful in the best way possible. I ended up getting the Playoff Party flavor, which I believe is only offered when one of the Philly teams is in the playoffs, and it was basically an Oreo ice cream lover's dream. The Earl Grey Honeycomb was also SO good. You could actually taste the Earl Grey tea flavor clearly, and the honeycomb balanced it perfectly without overpowering it. One thing I really liked about their ice cream in general was the texture because it had that perfect consistency where it's firm and dense but still soft. It's definitely on the pricier side though. Our total came out to around $15-16 for two single scoops, with one being in a waffle cone. I also wanted a waffle cone on the side, so they gave my single scoop in a larger bowl instead which I thought was really considerate. However, the waffle cone is on the thicker side so it's not as crispy. That said, for the price you are getting noticeably larger scoops, so honestly I still think it's very worth it. Would definitely come back to try more flavors.

I wanted to love the ice cream, but I was not impressed. After trying a few flavors I came to the…read moreconclusion that the consistency was more like ice milk than ice cream. The flavor combos - tahini fudge swirl, pistachio, lemon curd with blueberry basil swirl - sounded great. Unfortunately, the excitement for me was in name only. The tahini fudge was very toasty, but the fudge didn't hold up; pistachio had crunch but lacked the nut's flavor; the lemon curd wasn't tart enough for me, nor did I get much flavor from the blueberries. If you like a less creamy ice cream you'll like the texture. I'll try a vegan option the next time.

They have a sign saying everyone has to get a ticket number. It gets confusing when previous people didn't take or we're going out of order because some of us are still deciding or some people are picking up orders instead of buying on the spot. I think it's an Italian bakery thing to sell baked goods by the pound. I don't like how their menu is posted way far back on the wall behind the counter. If I didn't look online beforehand, I wouldn't have an idea of what to do. Well we still didn't. Since we wanted to get a cannoli and some cookies, we asked the staff whether we need to buy a whole pound/box. He said we don't if we just want a few. He didn't say and we didn't ask how exactly we'll be charged. We ended up getting four cookies: pignoli, almond macaron, old fashion italian, chocolate drop For the cannoli, the menu shows different options but I didn't get questions when I just asked for "a cannoli" which is a good thing. We ended up getting the original one with ricotta. We got charged $6 in total for all the items. Honestly we still don't know how their math works because the transaction was rung up as "cannoli $6". They have a surcharge if you pay by card. We paid in cash and it felt fine with the nice round numbers. Also it seemed quite common for people to pay cash at this spot. The cannoli was pretty good. They pipe it fresh on the spot, and you can taste the difference with a crunchy shell. I'm not sure what's authentic in terms of shell thickness and texture, but I personally would like a thinner shell. The filling wasn't too sweet even after the powdered sugar. The cookies were more fun to browse than to eat. All of them were too sweet and had extracts that I didn't like. If I picked my favorite, pignoli and almond macaron are close. Pignoli is sweeter but has nice texture with the pine nuts on the outside. Almond macaroon is strong in almond extract but less sweet and has a slight chew to it.
