French-inspired bakery offering artisan breads, pastries, and banh mi
"The best french pastries and bread in the city, period. Get here early to behold their delicious bounty. Arrive much later than 10am on the weekend and you, my friend, are out of luck." - P'unk Avenue
"On East Passyunk you can pick up banh mi and pastries here—another solid option when exploring the strip’s varied offerings." - Ernest Owens
"Whenever I can get there, I love to go to Artisan. I’m sad that one of the co-owners, Andre Chin, just passed away, because they’re so sweet and talented. They have amazing baguettes and their banh mi is my favorite in the city; I also love the almond stick, a big, long, crispy almond pastry that I like to dip in Vietnamese iced coffee." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
"A beloved South Philly bakery long celebrated for its French pastries, baguettes and a small menu of breakfast sandwiches and banh mi, Artisan Boulanger Patissier was opened by Andre Chin and Amanda Eap in 2002 and moved to its current location on Mifflin Street in 2013, where a devoted following grew. Chin — the baker and co-owner who trained in Paris after fleeing Cambodia as a teen — died on July 16 at 65 after a seven-year battle with prostate cancer, and a sign pasted to the shop window noted that the people who enjoyed the bakery’s pastries and breads over the past 20 years meant everything to him. The couple’s health struggles prompted a local GoFundMe that raised over $100,000 to help cover their medical costs, and the bakery will remain closed until further notice while the family mourns." - Dayna Evans
