    From the moment we met Amy at The Night Kitchen Bakery, we knew we were in great hands. She truly listened to our vision and went the extra mile by arranging to pick up the flowers from our venue during our rehearsal at the venue so their cake artist could beautifully decorate our wedding cake. That's the kind of customer service that's hard to find these days. We are so grateful for all the care and effort that went into making our wedding cake special. Highly recommend and wow we got amazing comments on how yummy it was! This picture doesn't do justice but hope I can edit later when our professional pics come through.

    Absolutely wonderful service!! I came for kamala cookies, but instead, I got what they actually had in stock which was snickerdoodle cookie and pumpkin cupcake, and a pumpkin spice latte. Delicious and divine!!! I can't wait to come back for the kamala Cookies !!! Retro mellow music. I love this cafe. I love my time here!!!!

    I have driven past the night kitchen for years now and I finally popped inside the other day to check it out. They had an assortment of cakes, cookies, pies and other sweet treats. I decided to get a couple of their cupcakes (pumpkin with a cinnamon frosting, red velvet, carrot cake and regular chocolate with a vanilla buttercream). I mainly got the pumpkin because I'm trying to see if I actually dislike pumpkin flavor or the hype of it... turns out I really just don't enjoy pumpkin flavors things. The pumpkin cupcake was my least favorite of the bunch. The chocolate was good, very standard cupcake however the carrot cake my goodness 10/10 exceptional! The red velvet closely followed the carrot cake. All the cupcakes were moist and not overly sweet with the perfect pairing of icing. The cupcakes range from $3-$4 depending on the specialty level. They also range in sizes a bit. The service was good, I was helped right away. They are also a cafe so I believe they do some kind of food too. There are a couple of tables for seating inside. It was small but cute! ***chocolate cupcake not pictured as my husband ate it as soon as I placed them on the counter haha

    Our wedding cake
    Jess M.

    We absolutely loved using Night Kitchen Bakery for our wedding day (June 9th, 2024). The staff was very easy to work with. They were so kind and really gave us a nice space and explanations during our dessert tasting. They allowed us to try 4 different types of cake + several other desserts we were interested in for our wedding. I remember the chocolate chip cookies and SMORES BARS being super yummy!!! We went with both of those for our wedding day ontop of cake to have a nice variety for our guests. My mom said our desserts went so fast, she looked one minute and they were gone several later. We LOVED how our cake + dessserts turned out! We will defintely use Night Kitchen Bakery again for future events!

    My perfect cake
    Gabriella N.

    My cousin introduced me to this bakery and I can only speak on the specialty cakes and let me tell you, they're STUNNING and absolutely the tastiest cakes I've ever had. That carrot cake (no nuts, which solidifies my firm belief that nuts don't belong in dessert...but I digress) was moist, flavorful, and I wish I had 19 more slices. I talked to Amy on the phone and she helped envision the cake that my dad and I would share for a joint birthday. I just mentioned books and scuba diving and they made it into the most amazing cake. I emailed the books and authors and I realized when I saw the cake that the designers must've looked up the books because they had the exact color scheme of the original books. The attention to detail was remarkable. I wish I lived in Philly because I'd go to this place every day of my life (okay maybe it's good I don't live in Philly...). Also they offer many discounts if you belong to local places (like the co-op). I love this bakery. I can't stop writing this review!!!!

    It's my birthday cake!
    Renee D.

    Yesterday was my 50th birthday y'all. Yes, my big 5-0 just happened to land in the middle of a pandemic so of course I threw one hell of a house party. And I have to say that of all the good things I received my cake was the star of the show. I've had my eye on this cake for a few years ever since a friend posted a picture of hers on Instagram. I don't indulge in sweets because I have a milk allergy but for this occasion I made an exception and it was absolutely to die for. Sweet, tart, lemony and moist, if you like lemon bars or the like you will want this cake. You don't have to special order it because it's available daily but you should call ahead if you want an inscription. And don't be ridiculous and get the small one, just hand over your 30.00 for large and thank me later.

    Iced latte
    Vincent M.

    It's a cool little cafe/coffee shop/bakery. First things first: coffee. Though I usually go for a mocha latte, they didn't have their mocha/chocolate sauce when I went. No worries, I got a regular latte. What's important here, they use coffee ice cubes in it! Yes, you're not getting a watered down coffee. This time I was tempted for some baked goods and went for a little sampling. The chocolate chip cookie, a peanut butter cookie, and a snicker doodle, plus a carrot cake cupcake. My wife ate the cupcake, and I ate most of the cookies. Each one was good in it's own way. They're large, a mix of chewy and a bit crunchy around the edges.

    Lemon bar - doesn't look great but looks are deceiving
    Stephanie P.

    I was craving a lemon bar so I googled bakeries that had them and came across The Night Kitchen. I went last week and grabbed 2 - for some reason the lemon bars were more like lemon goo (they did not hold their bar form at all and were more like a pudding) but the flavor was spot on so I tried again today and got an amazing (and properly "firm") lemon bar. I haven't tried anything else there but everything in the cases looks great. They have a great variety of things from cookies to cupcakes and bars of all sorts. Definitely check them out!

    Our gorgeous wedding cake!
    Jessica C.

    From start to finish the staff at The night kitchen bakery left my now husband and I feeling like we were in great hands. As one of the bakery's we could choose that worked with our wedding venue, this whole process was simple, fun, and personalized. The tasting we had was adorable, we sat in the bakery at our table they set up just for us and they explained everything. As someone who likes to bake myself I didn't want that "fake cake" taste or look and this was important for our special day. They did not disappoint! Our gorgeous wedding cake was the talk of the day and it was delicious! We have since been back for pastries and such and I usually tell anyone and everyone about them. If you haven't already gone here... what are you waiting for!!

    I thought I'd written a review about this place before but to my shock I had not…read more I have been coming here since the day they opened, infrequently beacuse I am diabetic but when I want to spoil my body with delicious sugar, honey, this is *IT*. Now I could tell you all about how perfectly tasty everything is. From the classic banana puddings (I prefer the caramel version myself,) to the cookies, to the pineapple upside-down mini cakes. Yes, I could tell you that. But I want to speak to something deeper. I want to speak to belonging and community; and to fairness. As a biracial person with a brown sister, I feel the pull to support black and brown businesses. It's not a secret. And sometimes you do it, and sometimes you privately think "Damn. I wanna be supportive but this place is a mess." Then there's Sweet Life. NOT that. FILLED with good product at a great price, delivered by owners and staff who actually give a damn about being loving and supportive to all different types of people. And did I mention the sweets are POPPIN'? And to that statement of fairness. Today I came in to place an order, and when the price came up, for a moment I thought "Damn. That is a lot higher than I remembered, but I am not about to question them. They set the price and that price is what they deserve." So I paid. But then I noticed there was more in my bag that I'd asked for, and that there had been a miscommunication. When I tell you that this miscommunication was corrected with swiftness *AND* a smile. No shade. No drama. Just an "Ooops, oh well, here's your refund on the balance." I know this seems very basic but we all know it isn't. We have all been in that awkward situation where as a customer we have to point out an error, and the vendor turns it into a Shakespearan tragedy. Not Sweet Life. "Oops. Sorry! Fixed. Love you." So, to recap: Stunningly delicious sweets. Prices fair as hell. Communicative, inclusive staff doing the right thing. You need to take those money dollers and haul your ass over here TODAY. Now...where did I put my insulin pen?

The pandan cake and egg tart were perfectly not-too-sweet, which is why I personally tend to gravitate towards Asian baked goods. It's a smaller but very cozy and homey interior with two tables for sitting down to enjoy your coffee and pastries. It's also cash only or Venmo, so keep that in mind if you never carry cash! I look forward to visiting again and trying more items!

They definitely seem consistent, which I really appreciate. I came with a couple of friends on a Saturday afternoon, and wow... this place was packed. Even with the crowd, the staff stayed friendly and worked quickly, so we didn't have to wait too long for our drinks. One thing I still love is the seating. They have giant plushies sitting in the booths, so if you're by yourself, you're not just awkwardly staring at an empty seat across from you. Maybe I'm the only one who appreciates that, but I think it's a cute touch. The matcha here is the real deal. It's bright green, fragrant, and has that rich, earthy flavor with just enough natural bitterness that you know they're using quality matcha. A lot of places advertise matcha, but this one actually delivers. I ordered one of their matcha desserts with ice cream, and it was creamy, refreshing, and let the matcha flavor shine instead of burying it under sugar. My only complaint is that it was pretty warm inside. It was a hot summer day, and I honestly couldn't tell if the air conditioning was running or if it was just fans. Either way, it wasn't very cool inside. Thankfully I had ice cream, so it didn't bother me too much, but it's something to keep in mind if you're stopping by on a really hot day. Overall, another great visit. Friendly staff, consistently high-quality matcha, and a fun atmosphere. If you're a matcha lover, this is still one of my favorite spots in Chinatown.
