The VERY best bakery in Philadelphia!!!! Their wedding cakes look extraordinary but my favorites are the carrot cake and sugar cookies! Just can't be beat! read more

This is such a cute place! I love the way they make iced coffee--they give you coffee ice for you to pour hot ice over and not water down the coffee. Also I love their quiche. read more

We got our wedding cake here. The cream cheese frosting is to die for!!! It was a delicious cake and it turned out so beautifully. They made it exactly as we asked. Thank you Night Kitchen! read more

My husband and I got married on 10/20/18 at the Joseph Ambler Inn and we selected Night Kitchen Bakery for our wedding cake. I'm so happy we did because everything was so easy and the cake was AMAZING! For our tasting, we got to taste 4 or 5 different cake flavors and fillings. That lemon filing...I still dream about it! We had shown the Chef some pictures of what we were thinking and wow, it was more beautiful than I had even imagined! They were even able to put a little "hidden Mickey" on the cake, as my husband and I are big Disney fans. I highly recommend Night Kitchen, you will be so happy you did! read more

To be quite honest, I only come in for the small delights like the cookies and small morsels of cake -- but the true show stopper is the attractive cast of servers behind the counter. Particularly the one guy with the kind eyes. I've always been nervous to ask "whats his deal" so instead I ask for the delish carrot cake or lemon squares and keep it pushing. One day! read more

Our go-to bakery. Everything from the muffins to the cakes are always fresh and delicious and have the perfect amount of sweetness. Our favorite is the Raspberry Chocolate Cake with white icing, which you can walk in and buy at anytime. It's so convenient for a last minute party or gathering. Great to have this gem right on Germantown Ave! read more

Delicious treats and yummy lunch choices. Small inside but has a nice sidewalk set up too.

While we absolutely loved our cross between Harry Potter & The Nightmare Before Christmas cake & it tasted delicious, we were completely bummed about the color of the cake being WRONG. The bottom layer was NOT supposed to be blue. It was supposed to be purple and wine to match our theme. Unfortunately, it wound up completely clashing.* * The @nightkitchenbakery just called to apologize and said that it must have changed color while being stored in the fridge, they offered no discount because it was part of our wedding package we paid good money for. They didn't even offer us a small gift card for their bakery which I told the woman we loved. All she said was sorry! But to me, sorry didn't cut the cake. I mean, you couldnt even invite us back to have lunch or a couple of coffees on the house?! Booo * Seriously though.... not even "oh come in for lunch or coffee on us?!" Update: it's been almost a month since my honest and not at all unreasonable business review from our experience & I was just sent a DM from some guy named Robert who completely lost his crap over what I wrote. He said some really nasty and over the top things to me like, "I'm what's wrong with America" ....really Robert? Am I?! All because I was upset about my wedding cake and left a review on a review website?!?! That's what this IS ya know! You said you want to come to my work and harass and berate me? Okay cool. You aren't at ALL taking things a little too personal. Nope. Not at all. #blocked read more

Night Kitchen makes really tasty cakes, cupcakes, baked good etc. If you are vegan though you are essentially out of luck. Center City is loaded with great options for Vegans. I'm hoping that mindset travels out to Chestnut Hill and specifically Night Kitchen soon. One thing I still enjoy there is the iced coffee. They freeze coffee into these large cubes. You then pour coffee over them. Great idea to give you cold coffee that is not watered down! read more

Awesome bakery, the worker, Mason was very friendly and recommended some very delicious pastries. Would recommend this place

We couldn't have picked a better place for our wedding! The cake tasting experience was incredible! You can't make a wrong choice! All flavors are out of this world! They are so flexible and willing to make you happy and provide whatever you're looking for. We chose to have additional "bars" as a dessert option, so delicious! Our wedding cake was exactly what we envisioned!! read more

Loved loved loved this spot. I decided to take a stroll and try out this cute little cafe. I was not disappointed. I had the strata and my cousin had the grilled cheese. Both were fantastic. Yes I tried both. Don't judge me! My cousin also got me a lemon cupcake for my bday. It was fabulous. One of my favorite things I had was the iced coffee. I have never seen ice cubes made with coffee. You then add the hot coffee over the cubes. It's brilliant! My iced coffee never got watery. Such a great idea b It's a bit tiny but the staff is friendly and I like the outside table. I will definitely be back. read more

Looking to satiate a carving for carrot cake, I entered the night kitchen cafe and bakery. It's a very small and cosy space with a row of glass cases which contain adorable cakes and desserts. I got a slice of carrot cake with a cappuccino and took a seat near the register. The cappuccino was milky and perfect. Its the best I've had in Philadelphia. The cake wasn't mind blowing but a great version of traditional carrot cake. The super stars here are the ingredients. You can taste the quality and freshness of them! They use local milk in their cappuccinos! I left feeling warm and bubbly, the feeling you get when you eat good natural food. read more

I found Night Kitchen on a hunt for an early breakfast on my day off. I was initially worried that the only food would be pastries and cakes, because this is a bakery, too. However, I was pleased to discover a small menu of sandwiches and breakfast burritos, in addition to a copious amount of scones and muffins. Happily, my large coffee cost less than $2, and for a La Colombe brew to boot! JJ got an iced coffee and I was really excited to see that they had frozen coffee into cubes so that when you grabbed your hot coffee, you didn't get a watered down drink. We both decided to get a grilled cheese sandwich, which came with mozzarella and goat cheese ($5--for $7, you can upgrade to the 'extra special' grilled cheese, which has caramelized onions and spinach). The sandwiches were served panini style, and came with a side salad or fruit. I liked that you can choose what bread you want, what side you want, and also choose what dressing comes on top of your salad. Night Kitchen also makes custom cakes for special occasions and will schedule a private consultation to discuss ideas, sizes, and cake types. I saw someone come in for their tasting--she got to look through a binder of options before talking one-on-one with one of the bakers. read more

My favorite time to visit The Night Kitchen is after working a night shift when all I want is the comfort of good food and a warm cup of coffee. My favorite item on their Cafe Menu is their strata with bacon and cheddar. It never disappoints and paired with the side salad it is a very satisfying meal. I've also had some of their cupcakes which are very very rich and sweet but sooo good if that's what you're craving...and I also recently had their chocolate chip shortbread cookies which were perfection! If your looking for a sweet treat, a good cup of coffee, or a yummy breakfast/brunch/lunch definitely try The Night Kitchen! read more

We did tastings all around the city trying to find the perfect cupcakes for our wedding (Never thought I'd get sick of tasting cupcakes!). We ended up booking The Night Kitchen after tasting their delicious creations. We ordered 9 dozen cupcakes to be delivered to our venue the morning of the wedding: flourless chocolate, rocky road, vanilla with strawberry buttercream, vanilla with hazelnut buttercream, and mocha chocolate with mocha frosting. All of them were amazing but rocky road was the biggest hit at the wedding. We ordered the cupcakes pretty far in advance and paid the balance in full about a month before the wedding. It was not required to pay all of it this far in advance but I had so many payments to keep track of. We were told that we had to pay the full balance 2 weeks in advance since we were getting the cupcakes delivered. We were told that if for any reason the wedding date was changed/canceled we would receive store credit or they would postpone the order. Originally I asked that the delivery be made between noon and 2 pm because that was my main set up window (the wedding started at 4 pm). The week before I called to confirm my order and asked if they could deliver as close to noon as possible because I had a better idea of the timeline. When I arrived on site a little after noon, the cupcake delivery was already waiting for me. Everything looked fantastic! Overall we are still hearing from our guests how much they loved the cupcakes. Most other places had cake that was too dry, or frosting that was too sweet. Night Kitchen was just perfect and the service was excellent. Highly recommended! read more

I've walked past this bakery so many time going to Staples Office Store. So I finally decided to check it out. First Impressions: When facing the store to the right is the entrance to the bakery where the display cases of baked goods are located. On the left through the glass window, to can see examples of the wedding cakes they make, as well as the bakers working and decorating cakes. Awesome! Once inside the bakery offers seating for you to enjoy your baked good, coffee and/or sandwich. Cupcakes: Decided to try a few cupcakes. Purchased a red velvet, carrot cake, 2 cheesecake cupcakes, and a plain vanilla. The cupcakes were moist and super soft. The cupcakes were good, but not amazing. However, the carrot cake cupcake was AMAZING! There were other baked goods available, but I always go for the cupcake first. Def worth going back to try some of the cookies, sticky buns, and cakes. read more

I missed the pre-order deadline for Thanksgiving, but picket up a pumpkin cheese cake day before Thanksgiving no problem. Amazing since everything is made from scratch! Definitely the best desert there a dinner, can't wait to actually plan for next year and get a chocolate pecan pie! Sooooooooooooo good!!! read more

Ummmm......yeah these are not for me at ALL!! I bought 3 cupcakes and couldn't get a past a bite of each both vanilla cupcakes were under baked...blaaah!! The red velvet was rock hard and tasteless. I wanted to support them but the quality was odd. The icing was not sweet and very bitter. I feel really bad about writing this review. But absolutely unacceptable. They have a help wanted sign in the window I hope they can work with their bakers to step up the quality of their products. They gave me a refund which was nice of them. But their other pastries looked really nice just wasn't willing to try anything else. It's a no for me. I was going to buy 2 dozen for an event tomorrow. But will keep searching. :-( read more

I live near Chestnut Hill, so just from the look of the Night Kitchen's cakes, I would have booked them for my wedding cake if I was getting married in the area. Just recently, I finally got to try an NK Cake. My friend ordered a lemon curd birthday cake. OMG! This was one of the best cakes I've ever, ever had. I can't even explain how freakin' good this was. Then, she had a bday party for her boyfriend and ordered another cake. I'm not that into chocolate cake, so the taste wasn't there for me, but the design was amazing. The party was a movie them. I'll attach a photo here if I can! The reason I'm giving them 4 stars not 5 is because their prices are really high. read more

Best bakery! I ordered a specialty cake for my husband's 60th birthday party. They were to create a suitcase made out of cake with pictures of our family at various destinations we traveled to. It was incredible! They delivered an absolutely beautiful cake which exceeded all my expectation. Not only was it delicious but it looked like a real suitcase and several of my guests attempted to open it to see what was inside. I highly recommend night kitchen bakery! I will definitely be back! read more

The Night Kitchen used to be my go to bakery, but over the last couple of years some things have gotten on my nerves. First off, when I would want a larger order called in for breakfast Danishes to bring in for work. When I would call in at maybe 12 noon the day before to make an order I'd want to pick up at 8:30 the next morning, they would tell me that I should have called earlier in the morning because they could only guarantee my order could be ready if I called 24 hours in advance. I just don't get that. That just came off like they didn't need the business. The other part that would turn me off is that they would charge me extra by the piece if I wanted the larger Danishes cut in quarters. Finally, I stopped calling those orders in. I've always been a fan of their lemon curd cake and the chocolate cake with the hazelnuts, but I'm not so keen on the buttercream parts of those cakes. This was my go to spot for birthday cakes, but I even turned off of that lately because of the proportion of buttercream to actual cake. I attached a photo of a piece of my last piece of chocolate cake I got to go. That was a major disappointment considering that I usually just scape off half the buttercream before I eat it. In this last piece of "cake", it seemed more than half the cake was buttercream. By the way, it's not just me who is not a fan of so much buttercream on the little bit of cake. I notice the whole family leaving behind most of that stuff. read more

My wife and I got our wedding cake made here and we couldn't have been happier! First we had our cake tasting with the pastry chef to figure out what kind of cake and icing we wanted on our cake. Super stress free. Next, we told them the theme of the wedding, sent some ideas to them and they took over from there. The cake was perfect on the inside and out. They exceeded all expectations and the cake was delicious. Our guests may have loved it more than us. Would totally recommend the team there! read more

best cakes! we always drive an hour round trip to get our cakes here, not cheap but worth the drive and cost!

The best cakes and pies and sweets on the planet. Five stars are not enough. For Amy!

We LOVED our Night Kitchen wedding cake! From our first tasting, we were blown away by the flavors, service and value they offer. We had a 3-tier wedding cake with two different flavors--chocolate mocha cake and yellow cake with lemon curd. In our consultation, Amy showed us numerous designs and concepts we could choose to replicate exactly, or offered to make something custom in collaboration with the decorator. I had a basic idea that I wanted an Art Nouveau cake, but I wasn't sure what form I wanted it to take, so I brought in a full Pinterest board of inspiration. We decided to let the decorator look through our inspiration and come up with something to surprise us. On the wedding day, I didn't see my cake until the reception, and it was such a pleasant surprise to see such a beautifully constructed cake that perfectly captured our wedding. They even used a Mucha painting, 'Laurel,' which I not only share my name with, but was my starting point for all the colors in my wedding. Perfect. My one regret is that after cutting the cake and tasting one bite of the mocha (to die for), I was anxious to hit the dance floor, and didn't eat any more of it. Rookie mistake! I've been dreaming about that chocolate cake ever since and wish I'd had more! :) Thank you!! read more

My wife and I had a fantastic experience with the Night Kitchen as our wedding cake designer. The entire process with super simple and stress free, which was a nice surprise given how hectic wedding planning can be. After scheduling our tasting, we were presented with a relaxed environment to sample the various combinations. With a simple photo and description of what we wanted, the staff were able to create an absolute masterpiece. The final product was beyond impressive and was everything that we hoped it would be. I'm not a huge cake person, but the chocolate mocha cake with butter cream combination was out of this world. Thank you to the entire staff for such a great experience. For any of our future cake (or bakery needs) we will definitely only be using The Night Kitchen. read more

The pastry chefs at the Night Kitchen Bakery are incredible. We only go to Night Kitchen for our special occasion cakes (as well as every day goodies). Amy and her pastry chefs made a Phillies Citizen Bank Park cake for my son's bar mitzvah, an amazing "favorite books" cake for my daughter's bat mitzvah, a beautifully decorated bird themed cake for my husband's 40th, and most recently a beautiful cake for my daughter's graduation (see photo). More importantly, Night Kitchen cakes are not only amazing to look at, they are incredibly delicious (and we have tried many of the different flavor combinations!) The lemon and the chocolate with raspberry are our current favorites. I feel so lucky to have such an amazing bakery in my neighborhood. read more
