We were not asking for a refund but simply to let them know how disappointed we were. I think he should be more concerned with properly training his employees and having better quality products. Just shows how unprofessional and rude they are. Order a cake for my grandmoms 80th birthday and told them I need the cake for 10 people. Price was never a concern we just wanted a nice cake for everyone to enjoy. Picked up the cake today and it was so tiny could feed about five people. On their website it states that cakes are two layers but this was only a one layer cake. I am so embarrassed to present this cake to my guests. Cake was extremely dry and tasteless as if you were eating stale bread. Last time I had ordered a cake it was very expensive and very dry/stale as well. I thought to give them another chance but unfortunately they disappointed once again. This will be my last time ever purchasing from the danish bakers.

I ordered an at-home Wedding Cake tasting box directly from their website and scheduled it for pickup on February 14th at 12:30 PM. It was a pretty straightforward order and I paid using a credit card. Upon entering the shop, it smelled heavenly. The employees behind the counter were helping a customer that was ahead of me, and I was assisted shortly after. She asked for the name on the order and stated she was going to alert Sean to come explain how the tasting works. Sean came out and immediately left a lasting impression. He was very kind and answered my questions. He explained the process for the tasting and left me feeling confident about next steps. We tasted every cupcake and filling yesterday and they were all divine. I can't wait to visit again to try other baked goods from The Frosted Fox!

I asked the guy that waited on me if it was frozen he said No just refrigerated. I brought it home an put it back in the refrigerator as I didn't need it until dinner. Prior to my dinner reservation that night I took it with me to center city and kept it with me until after dinner so it could reach room temperature. When she went to cut the cake I thought it was frozen she was having such a time getting a knife through it. Turns out it was not but very dense and heavy, not like it usually is light and fluffy. It was giving the texture of cornbread. The icing was good but cake not so much, $63 down the drain. I'm not sure if the recipe changed or what happened but something definitely was off. I usually enjoy these cakes but this one not so much!

The texture is perfect and the flavor is simple in the best way. Everything feels nostalgic and comforting, like the kind of bakery that has been making people happy for generations.

If you appreciate classic desserts that never go out of style, Stock's Bakery is definitely worth the visit. A true Philadelphia staple.

The drive down was easy, not too much traffic which was good. In the distance we could see the building and me and my mom both got excited. We are freaks for cakes and sweets and we were already talking about what other goodies we plan to buy when we get there. As soon as we stepped foot in the Bakery- we were hit with the sweet scents of cakes, pies, cookies, donuts, butter cakes and other goodies. Man oh man what a wonderful smell. It was packed with patrons buying their sweets for the day/weekend. We only waited a few minutes before we were helped and greeted by a sweet smile. The workers there do an awesome job with getting the lines down and still have a smile on their face as the place gets busier and busier. (I love that about Stocks- service is always great). We picked up our cake and ended up getting a few donuts cause I never had them from there before, we got a couple danish's, and a butter cake plus a half a pound of cookies including both butter and sugar with sprinkles and cherries, jelly and chocolate with walnut and molasses crunch which were like ginger snaps/spiced wafers. We ended up spending a pretty good amount of money but it was really worth it. If you are ever in this area- you must stop in and grab some goodies to take home. It will not disappoint. This bakery has been consistent with the taste for years and years and I honestly been coming for over 30 years and still love it. It's an old time charm that I hope stays around forever. If the neighborhood continues to change I hope the one thing that stays the same is Stocks bakery. 5 stars across the board for Stocks.

My eyes were immediately drawn to, what appeared to be a 'Hostess Cupcake'....a chocolate cupcake with squiggly white frosting on top! I asked if there was a cream filled center, and there was! I ordered it. It brought back memories of the 'original' cupcake, but this was far superior than the Hostess cake! This cupcake was soft and velvety, with a chocolate richness that was wonderfully complemented with a deep, dark chocolate icing. I took a big bite to make sure I got some of the creamy center! Next up, the Sticky Bun. I love sticky buns and this one was a big reason why. It was covered with a sumptuous layer of walnuts and raisins. The buttery pastry had a delicious layering of brown sugar, nuts and raisins that enveloped and was folded into the bun. It was an exceptional sticky bun! We wanted to try a few doughnuts and asked for recommendations - we were told the Chocolate-Chocolate, Lemon Poppy and Red Velvet (with Cream Cheese frosting) were popular. We ordered all three! I would like to mention, Tiffany's is unique in that they cook the doughnuts in a steam oven instead of frying them! The steaming retains the moisture - resulting in a soft, fluffy texture and a truer flavor that's not influenced by frying in oil. The bakery is a second generation bakery having opened in 1977. The steamed doughnut is a new addition that revolutionized the bakery about 4-5 years ago. It's called the DoYo. Back to the doughnuts! Let's start with my partner's favorite - the Chocolate-Chocolate. We both agreed the steaming of these doughnuts makes a big difference. It was so light and moist - with a chocolate frosting that was a little firmer than the frosting on the cupcake. The Red Velvet DoYo with cream cheese frosting was heavenly - the soft texture reinforced the difference between the steam and oil bake - these cake DoYos were unique. The last DoYo was the Lemon Poppy. The icing and lemon flavor were luxurious! It was a nice finish to a variety of different doughnuts. The Oatmeal Raisin cookie was classic - soft and chewy, with an old fashioned oatmeal taste and texture. It was a good cookie. I saw the salted chocolate pretzels - at first I hesitated, as it's not really a pastry, but figured I'd try one. I'm glad I did! It wasn't your 'average' pretzel - the chocolate coating was as delicious as the icing on the doughnuts and the salt was a great addition. We really were surprised to find such a great bakery at the art show in Manayunk. It's a jewel that you must try out...especially the DoYos!!!

For such a legacy business, they should really be ashamed of themselves when it comes to customer service. I attempted to call them numerous times to ask about placing a custom cake order. NO ONE EVER ANSWERS THE PHONE!!! It doesn't matter what time you call. I then sent a very detailed email thru their website with my name, number, the custom design request and I referenced one of the cakes on their website. This was the response: Thank you for choosing Denise's Delicacies for your order! Before I can take your order, I have a couple of questions. When do you need this by? How many people are you trying to serve? Do you have a picture of the design you want us to go by? If so, please send a picture. Lastly, do you have a number I can call to place your order? Thank You, Denise's Delicacies In my message to them... I did tell them the due date, I did give the number of people to serve, I did reference a cake from their website and I did provide my phone number. I was absolutely frustrated and confused. After reaching out to a few other bakers and not finding what I needed, I gave up and decided to get up early one Thursday morning and go to Denise's in-person. I got there around 8:45am. It was not crowded. The young lady working behind the counter was kind and helpful. I mentioned about no one answering the phone, she said they were short-staffed. Then, the custom cake I was wanting, she said they did not do (just number cakes on top of a sheet cake.). However, since it was a week before Thanksgiving, they were not taking anymore custom orders at that time. So, I gave up and just got a 'numbers' cake. I placed my order, paid and left. I then returned the next day and requested to go up to the next cake size. When I went back, 2 weeks later to pick up the cake, BAAAAABY!!!, all I could do was laugh at how huge it was. We all got a chuckle, but it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! One of the men who worked there was kind of enough to carry to and place BOTH cake numbers in the back of my truck. Whowever the baker was that worked on my cake, did their THANG!!! I was absolutely pleased with how beautiful it looked. And all our guests raved about the cake. That being said, I would definitely order from them again. I just hope they elevate and work on perfecting their business. It's so sad to hear long time customers talk about how it was 'back in the day' when the actual Denise was there. They've been around too long to be lacking in that department. Because of the cake, I give them 4 stars.

**Visited: 2/22/25** I've been a loyal customer of…read moreDenise's Delicacies for a long time, and over the years, I've learned that visiting means packing my patience. Parking near 22nd Street is tough, and there's almost always a line. Service tends to be slow, but the quality of the baked goods usually makes up for it. That said, what happened during my last visit was unsettling. I came in hoping to buy cupcakes. A young man working the counter -- clearly not properly trained -- carelessly pulled a tray of cupcakes out of the display case, causing 4-5 of them to topple onto the floor. What happened next was the real issue: the older woman working alongside him (possibly a manager) told him to pick them up, *put them back on the same tray, and take them to the back. I stood there shocked, thinking there's a good chance those same cupcakes were sold to other customers later that day. I'm writing this review nearly two months later because every time I consider returning, I remember this incident and change my mind. It's disappointing because Denise's had been improving lately -- after a period of what felt like cheaper ingredients and a decline in quality, the baked goods have definitely gotten better. But this experience made me question the standards behind the scenes. I ended up buying cake slices instead of cupcakes that day, but the whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth -- and not because of the food. Great desserts... but a serious risk to your health if basic food safety is being ignored like this.
