Artisan bakery: Philly muffins, French toast loaf, pizza
"Merzbacher's produces the everything Philly Muffin, a square-shaped sourdough English muffin topped with everything seasoning, which stands out among the city’s baked goods." - Dobrina Zhekova
"The best bread in the city can be found right here at Merzbacher’s of Germantown. Their airy dough bakes the perfect crust on their memorable French toast loafs and challah. Look out for their pizza pop-ups that feature delicious flatbreads and mouth-watering tomato pies." - Ernest Owens
"Obviously their baked goods are really good, but on the weekend they do this thing called Earth to Pizza where you can order pizza and take it down to Attic to eat; they do classics like a cheese or pepperoni pie, and rotating pies each week that feature local produce." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
"A wholesale artisan bakery that produces roughly 10,000–12,000 pounds of dough each week, turning it into highly sought-after loaves, potato rolls, baguettes and a take on an English muffin dubbed “the Philly Muffin.” Chefs (including the operator of pop-up sandwich shop Frizwit) praise the roll for its structure and chew — firm enough to hold fillings while the interior soaks up meat juices, acting as both sponge and container — which makes it particularly well-suited for a classic Philly cheesesteak. Prior to the pandemic, about 75–80% of sales were to restaurants, but that mix has shifted toward roughly a 50/50 split with grocery-store distribution as demand grows; the bread is even stocked alongside national brands at stores like Giant Food Store. The owner emphasizes making a great product accessible to city and suburban customers, and small anecdotes — such as people following oven vents to ask if bread is sold there — reflect its local popularity." - Terri Ciccone
