Baker Street Bread Co. Cafe & Bakery

Great neighborhood spot. Come here regularly. A secret gem is the delicious gluten free everything bagel you can order toasted with butter or as part of a sandwich. Highly recommend!! And, yes, it gets crowded and sometimes the counter staff are distracted, but that’s just the reality of a popular local hub. We are very lucky to have this place in Chestnut Hill!

Quaint spot. Lots to choose from on the menu. The staff is very friendly and the food is delicious. I recommend the breakfast burrito. There is outdoor seating to sip your delicious ice coffee on those nice weather days.

Baker Street Bread Co. Cafe & Bakery is a wonderful shop to get coffee and fresh artisan bread. I enjoyed my latte and breakfast BEC sandwich. The brioche bun was extremely soft too! They have premade soups and salads which looked good. I will be back and recommend if you’re in the area stop by this cafe.

I just moved to chestnut hill & have been meaning to check this place out. I’m not gonna lie I was a bit weary when I saw the eggs for the breakfast sandwiches come steamed but OMG it was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had… the eggs were perfectly cooked & moist!! Bacon cooked perfectly not chewy but not too crunchy. The brioche bread it came on was super soft & fresh. I also got a green juice which was fresh & delicious also. Lastly I got some fresh artisan sourdough to go, they offer to slice it for you which was so nice!! Love this local bakery my new go to!

Overall, it was a good experience Line when I arrived the moved quickly although the wait for food was long. Which was fine with me because my food was excellent. Seating was difficult and parking wasn't easy.

Went to Baker St Bread Co for the first time yesterday and it was fantastic! The entire staff was so welcoming and friendly and I loved that the menus were on big billboards so they were easy to read while waiting in line. My pastries and coffees were served so quickly, and the breakfast sandwiches were delicious - love the fluffy eggs! Can’t wait to come back again for more.

Friendly staff and great eats. My egg, ham and cheese on a brioche bun breakfast sandwich was beyond tasty!! Kinda Reminiscent of a pretzel bun. The sandwich was well seasoned with simply salt/pepper, it soo soft and fluffy, honestly one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had. My vanilla latte was tasty as well. I'll definitely be back with my hubby to just sit and hang out. Outdoor seating is available. Perfect for the fall weather.

The pastries here are delicious! Make sure you get there early so they aren’t all snatched up. Personally recommend the chocolate croissants, apple fritter, chocolate chunk cookie dough, and chicken salad on walnut raisin that they have at CH grill!

Jason and I love this local spot in Chestnut Hill. The coffee is great, the sandwiches are good, and the service is both quick and friendly. When in Washington, I frequent Starbucks and McDonald's for my coffee. Black coffee is black coffee after all, and convenience is usually paramount. In Chestnut Hill we keep to making coffee at home as our workdays start as early as 0500, but on the weekends, we take a leisurely stroll over to Baker Street Bread to grab a great cup of coffee, a small bite to eat, and to read the neighborhood paper (you can purchase the Chestnut Hill Local here). Ample indoor and outdoor seating make this possible. There is a rewards program handled through Toast, and AmEx is accepted here.

I used to come to this bakery to get their good crusty loves every week, way back since the early 9o's. Of course, that was before they become a cafe, an overpriced cafe. The bread has suffered since, much smaller, less crusty and more expensive. Too bad. There goes another great local bread baker, gone to the trendy coffee and cafe venues, blah.

Since 1992 this artisan bakery has been serving up coffee and specialty breads. Came for a hot fresh flavorful cappuccino. All we could say was yummmm and be back soon.

**Awful Experience - Rude Staff and Discrimination Against Service Dogs** I visited this place on 01/11/25 while traveling from Florida with my service dog. I was driving for 15 hours to explore the city, and unfortunately, I chose this horrible establishment. From the moment I walked in, the two girls at the counter were incredibly rude. They gave me a hard time about my service dog, even though by law, I am entitled to be with my service dog anywhere. The order was taken poorly, I want es a hoy matcha but then it wasn't the service was just as bad. It was clear that they didn't want to accommodate anyone with special needs. As someone who travels frequently, this has been one of the worst experiences I've ever had. I will never be returning and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, especially those with service animals. I would love to talk with the manager 786 251 56 53

So cute! Situated on a cobblestone street (street parking). Ordered @ counter from posted menu on wall. Friendly staff. Delicious coffee! Sandwich was totally worth it! Grab & Go sandwiches, salads, soups, spreads, etc.

I can't believe I've never reviewed our go to place for breakfast and breads when our little guy wakes us up too early and we're en route to a playground far too early and mama needs coffee. Note that this place does get backed up when it's prime breakfast time and the wait can be excessive with little ones but dang is it good.

I think I would be able to give a higher rating if we had been able to enjoy lunch. We arrived a few minutes before close of lunch service. At that time you can get whatever is in the case to the left of you upon entry. Soup, sandwiches, potato and chicken salad. It would have been ice to know that the soup was available to be heated up regardless of closing for lunch. NEWSFLASH!!! that the soup was available to be heated up regardless of closing for lunch. Yup. I ordered a choc chip cookie, you know, because they were sitting there all big and cute...saying things like eat me. You know you want to....so I did. I won't spoil the surprise, but there was a hint of a little something extra that made for a novel and fresh choc chip cookie experience. You're welcome. There is an espresso machine. With buttons. I am sorry to say there was no joy to be had in javaville. Skip the cortado. I can speak on nothing else. Also counter staff couldn't be bothered to be even a tiny bit pleasant. I am not certain I could bump this up to a 4 if I had arrived on time for food.

Baker Street's sourdough bread is very good but not sure it's worth the 1.5 hour round trip. Too bad customer service is lacking and leaves a lot to be desired. I placed an early morning phone order for two sourdough loaves and advised I would pick up the next day at 4:30pm. The next day I arrived earlier (4pm) and was ignored by the four workers behind the counter despite no one else being in line. It's not like they didn't see me because they all looked/stared at me without saying a word. I don't have a third eye to be worthy of those stares! No tattoos or piercings either for that matter. I told the counter person I was here to pick up my order and was very curtly(!) told "we thought you changed your mind!" Hello, I was there a half hour earlier than scheduled....was the attitude really necessary?!? The cashier was stone faced and said nothing when I told him "thank you" which I attribute to poor parenting when simple common courtesy shouldn't be too much to expect, and especially for someone working with the public. Management clearly doesn't care either given the other reviews on Yelp regarding poor customer service. No bread is THAT good!

The service used to be nice and that is what kept me going back until the last few trips. I witnessed poor treatment of a cashier by the supervisor... reason being the cashier made a mistake that I wasn't even upset about! However, she reprimanded me in front of me, which was rude to the supervisor and embarrassing to the cashier. On the last trip, there was ill and poor treatment towards customers, it was pretty sad to witness that type of behavior. I'm sure what's happening to this place but it can't be good for business nor should anyone ignore this behavior.

Things have really gone downhill in the past few months. The vegetarian quiche has disappeared, no more cobbler, the macaroni and pasta salad both taste different, my wife felt ill after eating the chicken salad, what's going on? I don't know what's happened there recently but whatever changes they've made they need to undo. I'll still drink the coffee, and maybe the occasional bagel, but otherwise I can't recommend this place anymore. J.N.

Appealing to the eye, minimalist design and a curated menu and bakery experience that "over-performs." Strawberry cream cheese pastry is one of the most unique menu features and a must try. The apple crumb biscotti was a little underwhelming however, the bagels where stellar - very fresh. Amazing service and great hospitality. I definitely recommend this place for an early stop through because the foot traffic can pick up quickly.

I love Baker Street Bread! Their breakfast sandwiches are served on soft brioche buns. Coffee and coffee drinks are really good. They are fast and friendly!

I was recently up in Chestnut Hill for possibly the first time since the pandemic began. I intentionally timed my client meeting for the morning soon could stop at Baker Street and buy the best oatmeal raisin cookies I have ever had. When none were found in the available selection when it was my turn in line I politely asked if they had sold out. The young woman who had come up to help the busy young woman at the register responded gruffly "we don't make those anymore" then turned and walked away towards the back. No "may I help you with something else" or anything else at all. I looked at the woman behind me who shrugged her shoulders and said "that was weird." It was also startlingly rude. So I walked out. And I will never return.

Reliable delicious standby for salads, sandwiches, fresh bread, and baked goods. Roomy and clean.

Very good croissants and baguettes, plus La Colombe coffee, all with friendly service. Baker St. is our go to.

Great service. Love the atmosphere. Everything is fresh. It is way more than bread. The danishes and coffee cake are amazing. All types of pastries and I haven't had the coffee however i heard it was delish. Give it a try.

Breads and pastries are good, but that's it. Prepared foods and coffee are not good at all and they are overpriced. To add to that, the service is consistently bad. This was not an isolated experience, I have been here many times over the past couple years. I will not be returning, there are far better options nearby.

They have some great baked goods - the Snowflake White and apple fritter are highlights - but the service is consistently bad. There is zero sense of urgency to get anything out of the kitchen. I've called ahead for a toasted bagel and still had to wait 15 minutes in the store to receive it. Another time I ordered a dozen bagels but told they are not a bagel shop and was asked why I needed so many. They ended up selling them to me, but only after admonishing me that doing so meant fewer bagels for other customers. What??? They could be a great bakery if they only they would address the service issues.

Not going to support this place anymore. I've been coming here for years, so this is not an impression after my first visit. I walked in today and must have been a ghost because no one actually SAW me. I am a grown Black man. The three people at the register helping no one after one customer left, the person standing right in front of me across the glass counter who eventually chose to serve the customer behind me first, or the customer who entered after me and chose not to defer to me. No one said hello, acknowledged me, or apologized after I was forced to ask, "is anyone going to serve me" in order to generate any tangible response from anyone. They ruined my morning, and I hope the manager that I spoke with relayed my message to those providing service the morning of 11/21. This is not about customer service - this is about decency and being good people. I didn't feel like I mattered there, and I shouldn't feel that way. I'm not going there again.

Visiting the area for a wedding and I guess not a lot of options for breakfast in Chestnut Hill because the place was busy.. dirty, disorganized and worse, the food was subpar.. how do you mess up an egg sandwich? They accomplished it.. couldn't get over how the tables and floors don't get wiped/swept every once in a while.. look elsewhere

Consistently poor customer service, poor goods, and overpriced items. I bought a slice of cold quiche that was labeled 6.99 in the fridge. Attendant rang me up for $11 saying it was mislabeled/gave me attitude for mentioning the discrepancy. I've asked for a sandwich to be toasted to go only to be told they "don't toast bread" anymore. I once ordered a new menu breakfast item to which none of the employees were familiar with despite it being posted on the menu board in plain sight. Was given attitude for ordering this! I've tried to order 1 dozen rolls only to be told "you can't order that many because then there won't be much left for others to buy" I've waited over 30-45 minutes for a toasted bagel with cream cheese and coffee on at least 4 separate occasions. Because I've lived close to this place for years I've gone here out of necessity to "give it another chance/support a small biz" only to hate myself afterwards. Never again. I've also been treated differently based on how I am dressed (gym clothes vs put together) here on several occasions over the years. I see another reviewer saying she had an experience with racism in this establishment and I can honestly say I'm not surprised at all. If you want good coffee on the ave RUN to poppy's or chestnut hill coffee co. If you want a good/fast bfast RUN to Starbucks, skip this place and save yourself time and money!

As my husband and I were strolling through Chestnut Hill, we noticed a man walking down the street with an armful of bread loaves which is how we came across Baker Street Bread. We decided to walk in to see what the hype was all about and it was like an elevated Panera. They had a wide range of breads to choose from, scones, croissants, sandwiches, soups the like. We got an almond croissant ($4) and 1 loaf of honey sesame ($4). Their almond croissant was amazing, perfect crunch with just the right amount of almond spread inside. It was gone in seconds. Will definitely be back to try another croissant and maybe another loaf.

I got the multigrain loaf and it was amazing. Too amazing to not know what is in it though. I'm concerned that there were no ingredients listed on the bag, nor on the website. How do people still get away with that? What if there was something I was allergic to? Staff seemed angry that I came in to make a purchase, so despite the great tasting bread, the over all experience was not very pleasant.

Place is a bit of a mess. Coffee always seems to be could and using the espresso machine to heat it up is a horrible idea. They added more seating inside to the point you're just about shoulder to shoulder with the person next to you. There ever changing staff seems untrained and you're forced to let them control how much milk they put in your coffee. There Needs to be better management. On the plus side they don't have internet so the laptop crowd is minimal most of the time. Biggest pet peeve is the arrogant customers who park in the handicap space out front.

the food is generally bland and flavorless and can sometimes inspire a mild sense of nausea. the food is overpriced. the management is definitively unhelpful and tends to verbally attack those who complain about the food. I don't understand why they still have many customers. I guess that the neighbors have lost their tastebuds because of the cloying taste of tin cans in the baker street bread food.

I ordered the ham and swiss sandwich and the cashier didn't ask me anything. Just took my money. Ok. Maybe what do you want on it? What type of bread? I decided to go with what came out. It had mustard on a marble bread. Not my choice but the bread on the sandwich was great.May be the thinnest sandwich I ever had. I was laughing and thinking this must be a joke. Don't order the ham and swiss sandwich! The bread was great and the chips were great-thats it. Not much inside to comment on . Maybe one THIN slice ham and one THIN slice of swiss.And the thinnest sliced tomato. Felt like I was robbed. Needless to say Im not going back.

Great coffee, baked goods, and sandwiches. In fact, everything on the menu is fabulous. The staff is especially friendly. A must stop if your in Chestnut Hill.

One of my absolute favorite parts of living in Chestnut Hill is when I'm walking home from a night out on the Avenue and I start to smell a scent that is second only to Chocolate Ave in Hersey, PA. That scent is The Baker Street Bread Company going late into the night, baking up so many different treats for their costumers the following morning. When you go to Baker Street Bread you may find it a little stuffy inside the little shop, but that's just from all the ovens going. The things they're baking up in their will keep you coming back for more. Now I haven't tried a ton of different things here, but what I have had was really good. You can can use your eyes and nose to guess how good the breads are going to be, but I want to focus on something else. If you don't come in too late in the afternoon, you will probably notice something you may not have expected sitting there on the counter. Baker Street Bread makes some of the best pizza, yes I said pizza, that you may have ever had. Now its not your typical pizza, but I think that may be what makes it so amazing. I've seen this pizza in two different varieties: pepperoni and spinach ricotta. Although the pepperoni is very good, the spinach and ricotta is like nothing you've ever had. Sicilian style pizza with extremely soft crust, a light layer of sauce, and perfect combination of cheeses and spinach. All these things blend perfectly together in each bite. I ordered a whole pie (12 very large slices) a day in advance for the Super Bowl and let's just say our guests were quite pleased. I posted a picture to give you a visual, but really you just need to try it. Maybe when I start to some of there other baked goods I'll do an updated review, but this place is worth a stop just for this pizza. Trust me.

I was pleasantly surprised by Baker Street! Good was good, service was great and the location was nice. Little more pricey than I would care for, but it wasn't bad. They have daily bread specials as well as seasonal specials. I legitimately wanted to buy a loaf of everything to try. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area!

Super cute little place with a really nice staff and great breads. Stopped in and got two egg and cheese sandwiches and some iced coffees on a Sunday morning. The brioche roll was great, and so was the egg and cheese on the sandwich but had to add salt for flavor, might try a cheese like Swiss or cheddar next time.

Pretty terrible coffee and pretty crappy service from a couple of employees who definitely didn't "have a smile under their masks". Working these times is tough but you don't have to have a shitty attitude. Multiple "please" and "thank you" from me and not one from them!

this is a great neighborhood steeple but I would even travel there from outside of the neighborhood. The people who work here are always so nice and so happy to help you and take great pride in the work they do. The food is always delicious and always feels clean and healthy and the baked goods always taste fresh. My only complaint would be they can't keep the oatmeal raisin cookies in stock enough.

I have always liked Baker Street! Their breads are of very high quality and I like the cafe atmosphere. It's friendly, it's light-filled and airy, it's a popular place. And if you need a quick lunch while you are on the Hill, it fits the bill. I recently stopped in for a combo of their half-chili bowl and half-chicken salad sandwich. Though I like their chili, it needs a bit more spice for me. Too late I remembered that they have some good hot sauces available at the end of the counter. Also I like my chili served piping hot and not luke warm at best - especially on a cool, rainy day outside. The chicken salad sandwich was very flavorful. I could eat a whole plate of just their chicken salad it is that good. Prices are a bit higher at Baker Street but the quality is also on the higher side. Remember this friendly place when hanging or shopping in Chestnut Hill.

Great spot. Always fresh and delicious bread and pastries. Great setting and friendly staff.

I am so disappointed. I hurried to get to the shop before closing at three o'clock, and arrived in time to get through the door, avoiding the customer before me, who was just paying for his purchase. A young lady curtly told me - "we're closed." Now, I'm thinking, what will they do with all the fresh baked goods, like muffins and pastries that were sitting unsold? Sell them the next day? Needless to say, because I was so rudely turned away, I won't ever be stopping here again. When you're in the fresh food business, when a customer is standing there, money in hand, it is ridiculous to brusquely send them away empty-handed.

I remember coming here with my parents while growing up to get bread, pastries and chocolate milk. I think the pivot to a cafe after establishing the commissary was a smart move. The branding is nice, the space is open yet communal, and they offer a nice selection of breads, pastries, coffee, and breakfast and lunch options. There's a grab and go case for convenience. I had breakfast here with my girlfriend. She ordered the ultimate grilled cheese with ham and Dijon. They use gruyere and a decent quality ham, but the cheese was not melted enough and still cold in the middle. I ordered the baked French toast, which was basically a cinnamon bread pudding. Nonetheless it was delicious: nice cinnamon notes, tender with a bit of chew, and it is served with real maple syrup which is a huge plus for me. We also got some bread and a bag of the sweet dreams cookies to go. The cookies are delicious with a chewy cakey texture, cinnamon, just the right amount of walnuts, and chunks of dark chocolate. The staff seemed a little disorganized, but very friendly and polite. We were a bit disappointed that the POS system does not allow customers to tip with a card. Would love to see management offer this. We had to walk to get some cash for a tip.

Came here for an impromptu lunch today. I ordered the avocado toast. It was quite LOVELY!!! Very flavorful, fresh and it hit the spot. Wish I ordered 2!! The bread is toasted with coconut oil a generous spread of avocado topped with lemon, sea salt, parsley & tomatoes. One piece was $7.56, but I really enjoyed it. I got mines to go waited minimal time. The have pastries, fresh breads, cookie dough, chicken/ tuna salad & fresh garden type salads for sale already prepared. Cookies, granola, teas, la Colombe coffee are also available. Stop in and check them out.... oh!! I also got an apple fritter not my favorite but I'm REALLY picky.

European style bread bakery. Live their breads and brioche rolls. Served them at a party and guests were amazed. Shop also sells La Colombe coffee which is great. Breakfast and lunch meals have been delicious and fresh. Avocado toast, chicken salad sandwich and soup all very tasty.

White painted brick walls, old tin ceiling bright lighting and lots of bread, it's almost like you are in France. La Colombe coffee speaks for itself. Really great choices for breakfast and lunch. The redesign is great. Missing unfortunately, is the smell of baking bread that use to fill this space. All of the bread baking has been moved to another location. The redone Baker Street is welcome breakfast/lunch spot on the Hill The egg sandwiches taste great

Love it! Baker Street, in its new incarnation as a cute little cafe, is now officially my favorite breakfast in Chestnut Hill. The "Californian" egg sandwich is perfection, and the apple fritter was decadent and very fresh. I will be back, regularly.

Ok let me just say this is not my first bad experience but I wanted to give them another try lets just say if your black be wear to get precut bread that's been on the shelf for day I stood there and watch them cut the other folks bread while they stand there and when they got to me they had me hard bread this is the second time this happened to me I took it to remind me that I'm never spending my money in there when I ask why I can't get mines cut she look at me with a funny look on her face so I just left because I didn't want to look like the angry black woman so if you don't believe me try going while be black and see the difference for your self

Been coming here since it opened and have sampled every tasty bread, cookie, scone they bake - I've had them all! Now I'm ready to try their new items. I would give the bakery 5 stars if the breads were a little more sturdy in texture - that's the reason I like better the loaves baked by Metropolitan Bakery. I was sad when Baker Street moved its baking operation to south Philly, and I waited patiently for the planned cafe. Wow! The cafe was worth the wait and they're really bumping up their offerings with a nice selection of breakfast and lunch plates. So glad I work just a block away because the cafe will definitely become a regular jaunt for me. Hours will be 6 to 6 after Thanksgiving.

Omg best bread in the world. Friendly and quick staff. Good sandwiches, breakfasts, and coffee. And did I mention, the best bread in the world. Don't believe me? Order the Artisan toast (just their bread and butter) and you will be transported!! One drawback, they don't have WiFi and it is a great location to sit and get work done.

Went on a Sunday mid-morning with a line out the door. The customer's orders were quickly taken and we got to the head of the quickly. We had their signature breakfast sandwiches, cinnamon rolls and lattes. All excellent!

The new cafe space at Baker Street is very nice. They have added a breakfast & lunch menu to their usual bakery fare. I've only tried the Californian but it is quite tasty. They also have a full coffee/espresso menu.

My first visit to Baker St Bread this morning. My visit is happily "accidental" as I wait for Millenium Nails to open. I'm sitting outside enjoying a toasted everything bagel with schmear and slices of onion and tomato. The bagel is fresh and lightly toasted with a good crunch and the veggies fresh although I could use a bit more of them. Total price was about $3.50. A bargain compared to the new deli down the street that charges $5.25 for bagel and schmear only. I'll review them separately. The young staff are cheerful and eager to help and answer questions. I will definitely be back. BTW the breads look amazing.

What a gem this place is. Amazing products, even better service. Their breads are the best in the entire Delaware Valley, bar none. We in the suburbs forget how close Chestnut Hill is, and this place alone is worth the few minute drive. Great coffee, I'm all about local over Starbucks. What the heck is a Kouign Amann? Go ask for one and you'll be hooked!

The steamers are fluffy and delicious! The brioche bun is the softest freshest bread I've had in a very long time! My BF has the bacon egg and cheese, and so had the Californian. We were really happy and full. The sandwiches were huge! We can't wait to try the others as well as the breads!

Great place with great baked items and bread. They do a great job with their business and I'm sure it's hard to exceed all the over the top expectations people have nowadays. I think they're great and thankful for their business being close by to my home.
