Really enjoyed our unscheduled drop in while Christmas shopping. The de Nata's caught the eye. Friendly and cozy. read more

Pastry pants, Oh pastry pants. How do I love thee? You know where I'm going with this. The almond croissants make me jump for joy. The pumpkin roll has made my 2025 Fall season. PP's double chocolate brownie will fuel you with enough energy to clean your space at home. Im sitting here with my morning coffee at home with someberry turnover, dreaming of my next visit. Bonus: People from all over. Near and far stand in a line that moves quickly. All with smiles on their faces and happily chatting. Because they know they will be leaving with a box of happiness read more

The most delicious whole carrot cake I brought to my future daughter in laws for after dinner and I also bought a cream cheese and raspberry Danish for myself, which I ate half of in the car. It was amazing! read more

Got egg tarts. They were decent. Underbaked in the middle, but the pastry was flaky and beautiful. The interior is gorgeous. They even have an old-fashioned menu that shifts now and then. The service and banter were what made the experience great. I'm glad students have this gem accessible to them. I wish we'd had it in our year. read more

It's nestled between craft and convenience in Swarthmore. Though small inside, the ambiance packs a punch. From tile flooring to wicker baskets. It's always clean and pastries are neatly displayed. I have been to Pastry Pants a handful of times now. Each time I am welcomed with a smile. It's usually the same girl; whom I love seeing. I think I enjoy her service just as much as the pastries. On this visit I grabbed a chocolate mole empanada; having zero knowledge of what chocolate mole was. However, what I did know from a prior visit was the empanadas are delicious! And this one did not disappoint. It was full of flavor, the chicken was juicy, the pastry was buttery...yum. I indulged and also purchased a chocolate chip scone and millionaire shortbread. The scone had a hard, crispy exterior with a pillow soft inside. As for the millionaire shortbread, I prefer the shortbread by itself. Stop in and try a treat yourself. If you don't like any of items I mentioned. I highly recommend the carrot cake. read more

They started off of TooGoodToGo very recently and I tried their TooGoodToGo. The deal is on par with Maman's TooGoodToGo but Maman's variety is better than the bag I got here. I felt it should've been priced at 3.99 since I got three pastries that looked kind of the same. Their sandwiches sounded good but didn't get a good look at the price. Place looked kind of busy for a Wednesday afternoon where place would close in one hour. This place replaced Occasionally Yours. I believe there is no seating here. read more

Fresh pain au chocolat was delicious! I was visiting a friend that lives in downtown Swarthmore. If I was a resident, I'd be eating pastry every morning! read more

We picked up some sweets and a pretzel roll stuffed with chicken, bacon, ranch and it was delicious! The chocolate croissant was decadent, and my grand daughter had a fig pastry that she devoured! read more

Update in response to owner: I did ask for gluten free selections and was told only the macaroons and rice crispy treats were gluten free. I did buy other pastries for my non-gf friends to try. Perhaps I will try a brownie, if available, next time. I have a discerning palate and I like and enjoy eating good food. I do not generally eat items that come from boxes and cans---especially not macaroons. I wish I had taken a picture of the macaroons to post here. Again, they were good and I ate them but they were a little dry inside probably from being over baked. Original: Service was excellent. Pastries look good, there is a nice variety, and they were crowded. It's really a grab and go kinda place. I was surprised that there were only two gluten free options --macaroons and rice crispy treats. The chocolate dipped macaroons were kinda dark brown as if rescued from the oven just in the nick of time lest they be inedible--I ate them --and they were good--but still... read more

I tried the chocolate chip cookies, ginger cookie, rice Krispy treat and chocolate chip scone. The chocolate chip cookies were super dry and brittle, not in a good way... The flavor was okay, lots of chocolate chips. The ginger cookie was much better than the chocolate, good flavor and the texture was good too. The scone was normal I guess, it was dense and dry. The rice Krispy treat was disappointing, it was really dry, needs more marshmallow and not as sweet as a regular rice Krispy treat which is fine but it should have been more marshmallowy/ chewy . read more

Such a great addition to the Swarthmore! Baked goods are always fresh and delicious. Robert runs a great bakery! Such a cute place, it's very well kept. Smells just like a French Bakery. read more

The best things do come in small packages. So finding a beautiful backyard bakery in the the most amazing little ex-woodshop building in town? Amazing. The Cookies are my downfall, but when they are this good - wow. Suggestion: Ask for a dozen random cookies - flavors vary from time-to-time - make it a "tasting session" so you can eat them all - for a reason! read more

Small bake shop in renovated carpentry shop in a residential neighborhood. Who knew that Swarthmore would allow it since they are usually sticklers. Cinnamon buns were quite tasty. Coffee is also available. Take out only and a bit pricey read more

We are so happy to have a bakery in Swarthmore. Super cozy, with a great selection of pastries, breads, and cakes. Highly recommend!

Everything looks beautiful, but the flavors and quality don't live up to the look. The croissant was very good, but the cake was dry, the palmier underbaked, and the buffalo chicken pretzel too salty. read more

Fantastic little gem! Something new every week as well as custom requests! My faves are the pain au chocolat and the brown butter choc chip cookies! read more

I've enjoyed some croissants, pasteis de nata (Portuguese custard), cinnamon rolls, key lime bars, scones (chocolate chip/lemon blueberry), and pain au chocolat from Pastry Pants. I would've posted more pictures, but nothing lasted long enough to take more! Will try to do better after future visits. The new location is small, but very well-run. I advise getting there early to avoid long lines. The online ordering has been restored, and initially had more savory items like sandwiches and quiche. Will definitely return to try more of their baked goods and lunch options. read more

Amazingly impossibly delicious food! Our favorite things are: brown butter rice crispy treats, Chocolate croissants, brownies, cruffins (muffin made with croissant dough), scones, and cinnamon rolls.

So yummy! Just finished the brownie, had to stop myself because I promised my husband some treats.

Great employees and even better pastries, bread and assorted desserts!! Do not hesitate, just go! You won't be disappointed!!!

The second cake was only as half as good as the first. Second cake didn't even look the same. read more

Key lime bar and vanilla beignet were amazing! Considering walking back for a second beignet ...
