We ordered a couple of breakfast sandwiches and were patiently waiting. We were handed the wrong order not once but twice, which increased the wait time for everyone involved. Luckily, one of the employees saw the issues, expedited the making of our sandwiches and gave us two parties of our choice for the trouble. I appreciate great customer service like this. The chocolate chip muffins were giant and very indulgent, a perfect treat! read more

I have come here so many times and yet... I never review it! So here I am! I typically try to switch the sandwich I get from here. However I do this because I enjoy the speed of service and the sandwich combinations. They also let you customize as needed. Typically come here when kiwi is working bc they are attentive and efficient. There's always a line but it's bc I'm rarely, if ever, disappointed! read more

Good experience at Market Bakery located in the Reading Market. I got a turkey sausage, egg & cheese on whole grain bagel. The service was extremely friendly at the register. Everything is take out, but there are tables located throughout the building. My sandwich was huge! Taste was pretty good and was more than I could even eat. Market offers a lot of variety in their menu, especially breads. I think there is something for everyone to find from the menu. The staff keeps extremely busy and are hard working. When I jumped in line it was long and they worked quick. Total line time was 10 minutes tops. I would recommend. read more

The long lines here are somewhat worth it if your craving bagels. The lines move fast and they are good to satisfy your bagel cravings. Though they aren't fancy like panera or other places :( The everything bagel was decent. The cream cheese portions was sufficient. However I wish my bagel was toasted longer. Now comparing this place to NYC bagel , NYC wins. However, it's a nice bagel shop with happy employees and they also have other delicious pastries that's I had no busy eating cuz I'm suppose be eating healthy lol.. read more

Stopped by here on a Monday morning and it was busy but the line went by fast. There were so many options to choose from but I opted for a raisin bagel. The bagel was packed with cream cheese, which made it more tasty. However, the bagel was a bit dense and not as light and chewy as I hoped for. Overall its a great place for a quick bite. read more

Market Bakery is one of the many food stalls in Reading Terminal Market that offers a variety of bagels, sandwiches, and other breads. The atmosphere there was kind of a grab and go type of deal, as it feels like with most of the food stalls in the market. There is no seating available, but there are a bunch of tables and chairs in the market. The service was also pretty quick and the workers were very friendly. There are also a lot of options for the types of sandwiches that they have, including all day breakfast sandwiches. I got the Early Bird, which consists of eggs, bacon, roasted peppers, cheese, and pesto. I got it with an everything bagel, which made it super yummy! I felt like everything paired well with one another and it came out hot and fresh. I feel like it is hard to mess up breakfast sandwiches, so I do not have any complaints or critiques about my order. read more

Good ingredients, okay price, fast service. Was exactly what I needed, tasty, hit the spot. I'm going to keep 'em at 5 star cause theyre that good, but the scones were a little bit of a let down. Everything else I've had is wonderful though. Danish is perfect as well. Overall great spot in RTM. read more

Interesting local bread and pasty place located in Reading Terminal Market. I highly suggest them for a breakfast sandwich. I got the OMG BLT and it was OMG big. I picked the brioche bun which was hella fresh bread. I really like the use of pesto and mozzarella in the sandwich (added a sort of twist). The sandwich was a decent size and the service was very quick. The only problem with it being in Reading Terminal is spots to eat at fill quickly especially with multiple people. read more

Really enjoyed getting an egg and cheese on a brioche bun at Market Bakery. There's about half a million food options in Reading Terminal Market so it can be difficult to decide where to eat but if you're looking for a solid sandwich Market Bakery is great. What I liked was the several sandwich options and the options of breads and bagels. While Reading Terminal was super busy the service here was both friendly and quick. They gave you a generous amount of eggs and cheese and the bun was perfectly toasted and fresh. Definitely recommend! read more

Where to begin?? Even though they were extremely busy, the line moved very quickly. The people working there are very friendly and efficient. They have a big selection to choose from. I decided on the sandwich the firebird. The young lady said it was a new option there. It is made with pork roll, egg and cheese, chipotle mayo and hot sauce. They have many bread or bagels to decide from. You can never go wrong with the everything bagel. I got a few pastry for later on that day. The muffins and Danish are too good to decide which one is better. read more

I was impressed by the amount of choice offered while selecting my sandwich. It was my choice of bread or bagel. I could even select the cheese I had with it! And to top it off, they had REAL display sandwiches made that day to show the sandwiches offered. --- I made the right choice by getting a bacon, egg and cheese. It was a 10/10! There's a lot of food offered at Reading Terminal Market but Market Bakery is now my go to spot for my bacon, egg and cheese.

Not great, barely passable. Honestly not any better than food on Amtrak or a plane. The toasted bagel is soft like it came out of the microwave, not crunchy like it came from a toaster. The egg and cheese sandwich is greasy and barely passable after the premixed egg mixture is cooked on a flat top grill plate with grease and you can have your eggs and cheese any way you want as long as it is flat cooked eggs like an omelet minus anything in the omelet and with any cheese as long as it's the cheddar. Egg mixture (likely from a container like most fast food places and restaurants use) is nothing special. The coffee is just warm, straight from the carafe, not hot, but good otherwise. No decaf option. I also tried the bagel and cream cheese. Same blah result. The toasted bagel was limp like it never saw a toaster in its life. It was rubbery and very disappointing. The choices of cream cheese for bagels is very limited. No onion, salmon spread, just a plain, fat free plain, veggie,garlic and herb and one or two others not appealing to me. To have a salmon spread like, you need to shell out $9 for lox and plain cream cheese, that's nuts. I am not plain in anything I do, so tried the garlic herb "cream cheese." It was actually a thin spread,not a real cream cheese thickness. I finished just half, as the bagel was so rubbery and disappointing as was the "cream cheese." A friend had the lox and "cream cheese" bagel and was also very disappointed. Being from NYC, I know pizza and bagels well. These bagels and "cream cheese," is not even Dunkin Donuts quality, but close to the crummy quality of not real bakery places. This is just another kiosk/stand in the Reading Market ready to take your tourist money in exchange for a fair, but sub par quality product. read more

[632] This bakery is located in Reading Terminal Market. I wanted to check this place out since it had such great reviews. Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and ordered a roll with egg and cheese. The roll was toasted and burnt (see pic) and the eggs were microwaved (ew). It was so horrible that I only could stand taking 2 bites before tossing. I got hubby an apple danish which he enjoyed. He said it was fresh and the apples were tasty. Customer service was lacking. After I ordered I was told "wait for it over there". I will not be back. read more

I thought they would be busier during breakfast time but there was noone in line ahead of me so I got my food pretty fast. For my egg and cheese on a bagel, they folded the cheese into the scrambled egg while it was cooking so it was nice and melted but not too messy when I got it. The bagel was okay. Overall it wasn't my favorite breakfast sandwich that I've tried but it's pretty good and I would have it again. read more

Yummy! We all loved our insanely reasonably priced breads from Market Bakery in Reading Terminal Market! Ciabatta, brioche and those absolutely delicious pumpkin seed rolls from Le Bus! Those pumpkin rolls were definitely my favorite and have me wanting to come back for an entire pumpkin seed loaf! Perfectly crisp on the exterior and soft inside. Hearty and a tad sweet. Oh. So. Good. A stop here went so perfectly hand in hand with a stop for deli meats and cheese from Riehl's down the way! Market Bakery offers bagels, breakfast sammies and a variety of cream cheeses. Deli sammies for a quick lunch. A nice variety of muffins and other pastries too! $5 minimum purchase for cards. 10% off for jurors. FREE small coffee with Yelp check in! I tried the Butterfinger! While it didn't taste exactly like the candy, it was sweet and perfect for me as I drink my coffee black. Try it! Yum! read more

I got a sausage egg and cheese bagel (everything) from Market Bakery for breakfast. Overall the best part of the meal was the bagel as it was soft and the perfect amount of chewy. They are conveniently located in the reading terminal market and definitely have a line in the mornings. Only complaint was that I could not pick what kind of cheese for my sandwich. They do not have many varieties and I wanted pepper jack, but that's ok! The sandwich was still very good. I also got a small coffee which was part of their promo going on with Yelp.com.

Great food, but absolutely rude customer service. We were there on Saturday and it was extremely busy. They didn't not greet us when we ordered, they did it not thank us for our purchase. They assigned us an order number at purchase. We stood around the counter and could barely hear them call numbers. We tried to confirm that we did, in fact have our number called before we grabbed a paper bag (that looked like alllll the other paper bags sitting up there). When we asked "is this number 264, they rudely asked "what did you order?" We told them and they just gave us an annoying look and said that's not it...when in fact it was it. We told them we were one pizza slice short and the rolled their eyes at us and went to prepare it. Then they just sat it on the counter and looked at us. Again, the pizza was delicious, but they need to massively improve their customer service skills. read more

Ok, onto the eats! 1. Della Casa ($18): A 12-inch soft seeded sando layered with a schmear of balsamic sundried pepper spread, fresh mozz, and hot cappicola dried with Calabrian chili oil and filled with fresh arugula and house roasted eggplant slices. This was good, however, the eggplant felt kind out of place. The slices were large and a little bit too mushy for my liking and it felt like it could have benefitted from an extra meat or contrast to the softness from the mozz, such as fried eggplant instead. All in all a 7 out of 10. Good but wouldn't order again. 2. Turkey Salumeria ($18.50): Another (delicious) 12-inch soft seeded roll saturated with a delicious house creamy balsamic dressing (could have honestly drank this) + mild prov, LTO, sliced turkey and really great cherry pepper relish. This was a pretty basic, but all the parts came together to make a solid sandwich. I wouldn't necessarily order again but the combination of ingredients and the hellish relish made it a 7.5 out of 10. All in all, the quality of the ingredients, the combinations available on the menu and the stellar staff all make LK popular for good reason. While the selections we had this go around didn't wow us (just lacking a certain je ne sais quoi) I do look forward to going back to try the kale chx caesar, some of their cutlet sandos, roast beef and pork and of course the tomato pie and CCC's!

Angelo's Pizzeria

On a recent trip to the Philadelphia area, I visited Angelo's Pizzeria. My fiance is a big fan of…read morethe pizza, and wanted to first try it after hearing Dave Portnoy's rave review from One Bite. Since his first time trying it, we make it a point to stop anytime we are passing through the area. Angelo's is a very popular pizza restaurant located in South Philly, near the corner of South 9th and Fitzwater, and also the Palumbo Playground/Rec Center. For those who are tourists, it is also not far from where Pat's and Geno's are both located. Parking here can be challenging, as it is in the middle of South Philly. Sometimes, I have had to circle around. Other times, I have gotten lucky with a street spot somewhat close by. There is a now closed Rite Aid about a block down, and I have parked in that lot before to go and order/pick up my food. If you have someone with you, it might be easier to drop someone off and circle around until they are done. It will depend on the day and time, but each time I have visited parking has been a little bit of a struggle. The signage, as well as the crowd outside, will let you know exactly where the shop is. It is clearly marked with a black awning. The Pizzeria is a quaint shop, and there is no seating. When you enter, you walk right up to the counter to either order or pick up your food. I visited here on a Saturday in September, when I was in the area for a football game. On this day, I was coming in from Chester. So, I was about 30 minutes away. I thought I would attempt to call ahead, and then hopefully my food would be ready around my arrival. Unfortunately, this did not work out. I am not sure if they just do not answer the phone, or if they will stop answering once they hit a certain threshold of orders. However, I tried calling a plethora of times on my way to the store, but no one ever answered the phone. I understand this and am not necessarily complaining, but I wanted to include this here in case someone else is trying to call in an order and cannot get through. I arrived at the store just before 4:00 PM. I went right in and placed my order with one of the employees. Once you place the order, they take your name and phone number. You will get a text message when the order is done, and they provide an estimated wait time at the counter. This is nice, as you know exactly when to head back and when your order is ready. My order only took about 20 minutes to be prepared. When the order is ready, you come back into the store and get in the line on the right side. They will ask for your name, and you pay at that time. I also visited here last month, on a Sunday evening around 6:00 PM. I had a similar experience with wait time for my pizza on this trip as well - about 20 minutes until it was ready from when we placed the order. After getting the pizza, I decided I wanted to try a Cheesesteak. So, I placed my order for the sandwich and only waited about 15 minutes for it to be ready. We have always enjoyed the food from here. The pizza is hot, fresh, and has just the right amount of crispiness. We have gotten the Pepperoni and Sausage each time, and it does not disappoint. The pizza also reheats well, as we typically eat some and then take the rest home to enjoy over the next few days. The Cheesesteak was amazing. It is definitely better than any of the other tourist-type locations in the area. The bread was toasted well, and the mixture of the meat and cheese just tastes divine. I also added onions to mine, which was a nice variety in terms of texture. I will definitely be ordering this, along with my pizza, on all of my return visits. This place is good quality, and for that reason it is a good value. Our pizza is usually in the $35 range, but as stated it is well-prepared and has a nice amount of toppings. The Cheesesteak was slightly less than $20, which is comparable to other spots in the area. However, the quality on this one is through the roof. So, though it is a little pricey here overall, it is worth it for the product. The staff here are very friendly, quick, and efficient. Though they deal with these large crowds seemingly everyday, they are always pleasant to interact with. My waits for food are always less than they say, and I appreciate their hard work! I would love to see some type of online or phone ordering system for this location, as I know it exists for their other spot about 10 minutes away. As an FYI, they used to be cash-only, but started taking cards sometime in the past few months. This is a must-try spot in South Philly, both for locals and visitors. It is so popular that they are opening another location, as of May 2026. The food is worth the wait, and the sometimes hassle, that comes with ordering here. You can even make some friends while you wait for your order. I highly recommend Angelo's to anyone thinking about giving it a try! I am already looking forward to my next trip here and trying more of their menu.

This place couldn't have come with higher recommendations. The line was long, but we ordered within…read more15 minutes and the cheesesteak we ordered was ready in another 15-20 minutes. Being that I'm not from the east coast, and these are known as Philly cheesesteaks, I was super excited to try the food and even more so when I saw that the restaurant was Michelin rated. 100% I would rather have hunger pains than eat another meal here. The meat was bland and mushy. The fried onions were undercarmelized. The peppers were non existent. The sesame bread was tougher than I expected and super heavy on the sesame... which could've been ok, but because of the blandness of the protein... really dominated the taste profile of the hoagie. I feel like west coast people just have different expectations when it comes to what we expect from our food. I am a foodie and we have such a high standard as a baseline and this was not it. Sorry Philly... we got better cheesesteaks out here. You all should come visit.

Overall, I will definitely be coming back here, I'm still thinking about that cheesesteak! We ordered online for pickup so we didn't have to wait. They also have a couple of tables to sit inside.

We opted to split their signature cheesesteak with truffle wiz and a kale Cesar salad. The cheesesteak was just fine. The truffle wiz was very overpowering. The first few bites were great and then as you're working your way through the rest of the sandwich, it becomes almost too much. The meat also wasn't as good quality as some other spots we visited on the trip. Service was great though.

Rather than waiting around, I was able to place my order easily through the kiosk and settled in to wait. What really stood out was the customer service. The manager noticed the delay, kindly apologized, and even offered me a drink and chips while I waited. That level of hospitality goes a long way and left a great impression. I ordered the Philly Special along with the Hot Honey chips, and both were delicious. The sandwich hit the spot, and the chips were a perfect addition. Yum! Sometimes it's not just the food that makes a place memorable, it's how you're treated. The team handled a busy moment with professionalism and kindness, and because of that, I left happy and impressed. I'll gladly be back the next time I'm in Philadelphia. Another visit definitely awaits!

I went to Middle Child a few weeks ago just after 3, only to find it closes at 3. Today I returned, around 1, and there was a good crowd there having lunch. I ordered the Surfer, and the Hash Brown Potatoes. The Surfer is Middle Child's most popular sandwich. It's made on a Ciabatta bun, and has a thick layering of tender, lean, House Turkey breast, with melty Swiss cheese, arugula, blueberry chutney, and Duke's mayo. It's hard to describe just how delicious this sandwich was. My biggest concern was the Ciabatta bun - it's not one of my favorites, as I've found them to be tough and difficult to bite through. My fears were quickly put to rest after the first bite! The bun had a slightly crispy exterior - and when I followed through with my first bite, the tender, soft interior of the Ciabatta was a pleasant surprise. In fact, it complemented the thick savory Turkey, arugula, chutney and mayo! It was one of the best Turkey sandwiches I've had. Now, if that wasn't enough, don't forget, I ordered the Hash Brown Potatoes. It said Hash Browns on the blackboard, see attached picture, but these 'weren't your Mama's hash browns'! They are described online as Latka'd Hash Browns. They are thick crispy squares that combine a potato pancake latke with a hash brown texture. The interior reminded me of my mother's potato kugel, which I still reminisce about. In one word, those fried crispy potato squares were outstanding. It's 'a must try' and goes so well with the Surfer! Last, but not least, the Limeade! It was so refreshing! Not too tart, not too sweet... just right! I'll be returning to Middle Child in the not too distant future!

So the order was put on the counter but since people don't like when you just take the order that you have to deliver i again had to wait and try not to interrupt the conversation making me 2 minutes late for the drop off. What could improve?? Why not acknowledge people walking into your store and maybe pause your conversation because you aren't home.

They serve you fresh waster (Drinks to order include Hanks, Boylan's, Harney and Sons, Teas etc.) and will serve you at the table or you can walk up and order at the counter. Their menu has a great mix of deli, steak, "chicken" steak, meatball, sausage and cutlet sandwiches with interesting flavor combos. You can also get breakfast (till 11AM) or a salad. They also have sides that include - tots, fried pickle chips, onion rings, fries, fried mozzarella and Zayda's pickle spears, chips and cherry pepper shooters. They have a couple of vegan options and GF rolls for extra $$. The staff was more than happy to give recommendations and their favs. My first lunch was The Eye - $15 Ribeye steak, Cooper Sharp American, fried onions came on a seeded Liscio's roll. If you enjoy the somewhat newer Cooper sharp style that's out there you'll like theirs. The Cooper sharp was gooey, mixed in well with the meat and on the heavier side. The ribeye was thin cut, delicious and the portion was pretty hefty. Second visit I went with - The Nad - $15 Chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, Mike's Hot Honey that came on an unseeded Liscio's roll. The portion size was good, chicken was fresh with good breading, the hot honey was a tad on the heavy side, but the flavors all came together pretty good on this one. Sweet, salty, light bitterness from the arugula and some heat from the hot honey. I added Thin Cut Idaho fries to make it a combo for $3 extra and I have to say they were delicious. They smelled like McD's and tasted similar. They are cash only, but have an ATM on site. You can use a card if you order online. The one bathroom they have was pretty clean and organized. I will certainly stop back for a visit if I'm in the area to try out more of their menu. Thanks guys!

This is far from the traditional banh mi, not so much due to the meat choice but the fact that the vegetables take a back seat. This is also a soft hoagie style bread instead of the crusty French bread that usually houses a banh mi. Still an enjoyable sandwich nonetheless. To my surprise, the fried potatoes were the highlight of this meal. Tender crispy fried potatoes are simply irresistible. Stockyard definitely has a lot going for it. Worth a try if you are in the area !

I've had accounts with nearly a dozen banks over the years, and Capital One stands out as my favorite. They strike a rare balance between digital innovation and authentic, in-person service, and this location exemplifies that in a distinctive way. Capital One's app is excellent, intuitive, reliable, and more comprehensive than most. Features like Zelle are seamlessly integrated, and overall, it feels like a true "hub" for managing your finances. Additionally, Capital One's ATM network is impressive. I've been able to withdraw funds fee-free across platforms like Venmo, Chime, and PA unemployment, which I haven't seen matched elsewhere. The machines themselves are highly functional, offering deposits and multiple bill denominations, with a level of flexibility you don't typically see. What's more, you can withdraw cash without your debit card by scanning a QR code displayed on the ATM screen using the app on your phone, which is incredibly helpful if you ever lose your wallet or find yourself without it. For added convenience, inside the branch, there's a dedicated machine that issues cashier's checks digitally. This greatly simplifies and accelerates what is typically a manual, time-consuming task. The 17th and Walnut café is impressive--the coffee is genuinely good, and the 50% discount for Capital One account holders is a great perk. It also serves as a free coworking space with reservable breakout rooms, adding real utility and a strong sense of community. Above all, the people and culture here foster a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The team is consistently courteous and approachable. Special thanks to Jessie (sp?) with the Capital One sneakers, who is always exceptionally friendly, offers treats for our dog, and connects so well with our kids. All of this exemplifies the broader Capital One culture, which is rare in financial services. I'm a big supporter of both this branch and the broader Capital One brand. Thank you!
