Reviews of Bredenbeck's Bakery & Ice Cream Parlor

Stephanie Russell

Bredenbeck’s did such an excellent job with our wedding cake. It was absolutely beautiful as well as delicious! Sue did such an incredible job with designing our cake and made our consultation so easy. They have a great variety of flavors and they’re all so tasty! We had tried another bakery prior to Bredenbeck’s and they did not even come close! Highly recommend Bredenbeck’s for any event, but especially your wedding cake!! They make everything so easy

Julie Nadel

We absolutely loved our Bredenbeck's wedding cake - it was DELICIOUS, and absolutely gorgeous. They put together the exact design we had wanted for our 4 tier wedding cake, and made each tier a different flavor! The only downside of that was that our guests loved the cake so much, they went back for every flavor, so we ran out of cake! But that should only be taken as a testament to how much everyone loved it - they certainly provided enough cake for our party, haha. They also provide a free small "tier" on your one year anniversary, so you don't have to eat disgusting frozen old cake. We cannot wait to continue our celebrations with them next September on our anniversary. They were also so easy and accommodating to work with. Highly highly recommend!

Ashley Dume-Charles

Love this place! We had our wedding cake made here and we couldn't have chosen a better bakery. Not only was the wedding cake utterly delicious, but they also offer a complimentary cake on our anniversary each year. What a treat! More than cakes, there are delicious cookies & pastries, as well as an ice cream parlor attached! The staff was so kind. It was raining the last time I visited and my hands were occupied with the baby, so the guy at the front desk offered to bring my items to my car. Can't say enough great things about this place!

Tiff Bogda

Bredenbeck’s Bakery did an amazing job with our wedding cake! Throughout the entire process, the staff was very helpful and informative with making sure we got exactly what we wanted. We were allowed to take our cake tasting tray home which gave us more time to choose what we wanted (we ended up with chocolate chip pound cake and salted caramel filling - DELICIOUS). Their bakery downstairs also offers wonderful donuts that we had to pick up after our consultation. The biggest plus was that they give you a fresh cake on your one year anniversary so you don’t have to worry about saving yours in the freezer (ours is already gone!). Highly recommend!

gabby fernandes

Bredenbeck’s has been our favorite bakery every time we visit Philadelphia. We were really excited when we found out they were the preferred baker for our wedding day. They offer a cake tasting with delicious cake samples and fillings, including seasonal flavors. It really helped us choose what we wanted. Also, the staff were professional and answered all our questions in a timely manner. We were able to design a custom Lord of the Rings tiered cake plus a groom's cake and they went above and beyond to deliver exactly what we wanted. The cakes came out beautifully and tasted amazing! We highly recommend Bredenbeck’s for your wedding day or any day for tasty treats!

Katherine Armstrong

Our wedding cake from Brendenbeck’s Bakery was both gorgeous and delicious! Grace and the rest of the team were extremely kind and responsive. They were able to design a cake that perfectly matched our star and moon wedding theme. The cake arrived with no problems on the day of the wedding and our guest raved about how delicious it was!

Stef Kaplan

Very easy to work with! They were an option that partnered with our venue (The Warrington). The cake came out beautiful! My husband and I picked out options and were able to cross off that item on our to do list. I came in with a few ideas and the lady gave me a variety of options. She took aspects from various cakes and essentially put them all on one cake. When I saw the cake on the day of the wedding, I fell in love! It tasted great too! I can’t wait to get our anniversary tier cake in a few months!

Megan Paccione

I had my wedding at Paxon Hollow Country club and was recommended by the coordinator to come here for the wedding cake. The experience for taste testing was so wonderful, my fiancé (at the time) and I could not decide on flavors because they were all so incredibly delicious. Fast forward to the wedding - the cake was just as great as when we were at the bakery trying it for the first time. The cake itself was also stunning! I would recommend coming here for the experience and delicious cake, the pastries in the shop were just as amazing!

Susannah Price

Our consultation with Bredenbeck’s was one of the easiest when it came to our wedding. They made the choice in flavors easy (and we had multiple flavors) and they were so accommodating when it came to our design. Our cake was absolutely beautiful! We LOVED having our dog with us on big day; having him on the cake was the best way for us to honor him and have him there! Thank you SO much!

Christine

Everything was amazing! The sales team was so kind to work with, the cake testing was so great and easy. The cake delivery to the wedding was flawless. The design was beautiful and the taste...oh the taste was heavenly!! All our wedding guests raved about how beautiful the cake looked and how delicious the cake was. THANK YOU BREDENBECK for being part of our special day.

Neil DiFranco

They have the most perfect ginger bread house kits. We had the best time decorating this sturdy and well made house. The candy selection was terrific and the icing was easy to work with.

Felicia Fooks

Thee BEST cake hands down. My wedding guests raved about the moist flavorful lemon pound cake with raspberry buttercream. Bredenbecks TOP TIER! The attention to details were phenomenal.

Sarah Bee

I can not say enough amazing things about this place.They have been my go to place for celebration things for the last 4 years when I moved to the area. I look forward to working with them for my upcoming wedding as well. For a quick treat I recommend the lemon raspberry cheesecake slices or donuts but I won’t ever admit to stopping by secretly just to splurge 😂

Melissa O'Brien

Bredenbeck’s designed and baked our wedding cake and we couldn’t have been happier!! We went with lemon and raspberry and it was so delicious! All of our guests loved it and so did we. Highly recommend them for all your cake needs!

KGQ NYC

Bredenbeck’s Bakery & Ice Cream - baked treats on one side and ice cream on the other. We tried a chocolate-dipped donut and a turtle cupcake. Both were good although the cupcake tasted a bit stale. The flavors were there though, so we will probably give it another try. The prices are average and the service was ok. The Chestnut Hill area is charming and quiet.

Alexandra Pesature

We used Bredenbecks for our wedding cake 2 years ago and decided to use them again for our baby's first birthday for her cake and donuts. Everything was absolutely delicious and the cake was perfect for our donut theme ! We will only ever get occasion cakes from here.

Susan Brown

My experience was very positive from beginning to end. My cake was delivered ahead of time to my venue. Not only was it was beautiful, it tasted absolutely delicious! Moist and light. They are my neighborhood bakery, I would highly recommend them and will definitely use them in the future. Very professional and courteous. Thank you!

Paige Amanda

I ordered my daughter’s smash cake from here. The cake is cute but it does not look professional, especially the 1. We frequent Bredenbeck’s and hyped up the cake to friends/family so it was a little disappointing

Jenna Lynn Baran

Bredenbeck’s is our absolute favorite bakery! Ever since we moved to the greater Philadelphia area over 10 years ago they have been our go to, especially for custom cakes and desserts! Our Wedding, bridal shower, baby shower, baby sprinkle, 2 gender reveals, a ton of birthdays and everything in between including several quick trips for a sweet treat - you name it, they’ve done it all for us! Cupcakes, cookies, desserts, etc. - everything is always fresh and beautiful. We always receive compliments about how delicious everything is and family and friends look forward to having Bredenbeck’s treats at all of our special occasions! Bredenbeck’s has been such a big part of so many wonderful family memories over the years and we look forward to more sweet memories to come!

Abbie McGee

Our wedding cake was included in the price of our venue, which was a treat! The staff made it really easy to choose our design and help us make decisions we didn't know we needed to make (as we were going in completely cold with no idea what we wanted). We were able to make a semi-last-minute change without fuss and got a lot of compliments on the cake (appearance and flavor)! After our tasting, we got some treats for a party that night, and the line was out the door all morning! Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a local Philly bakery!

Erin Frances Geiges

After having to postpone my college graduation celebration a whole year and a half, I decided to have my cake done by Bredenbeck’s. From going into the store to order the cake and discuss my ideas for design and flavor, Tish was super helpful and listened intently to what I was looking for. I couldn’t be anymore happier with the final result - our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the cake looked and how great the chocolate chip pound cake was. Thank you Brendenbeck’s!

Aimee Shafer

We cannot thank Bredenbecks and their wedding cake team enough!! We worked with Dana throughout our entire process and she was amazing! We wanted a simple but elegant cake, decorated with cascaded flowers - and that’s exactly what they did! The cake itself tasted amazing, but even more so, it just looked absolutely gorgeous!!! They decorated our cake with our own silk flowers and they couldn’t have done a more amazing job. Thank you, Dana and the rest of the team for making our dream wedding cake!!

Jackie Mahan

I know everyone knows how great Bredenbeck’s is, but wanted to highlight the fact that they offer gluten free options for people like my mom who have Celiac disease and shoutout to whoever decorated this cake - I gave them a concept of “hbd mom” and “go Phils” and they killed it. She especially loved the nice touch with the Philly P’s. Thanks!

Michele Shiffler

Jake saved the baby shower for my daughter!! I called the bakery with a last minute custom order and they went above and beyond to take care of us! The shower cake was gorgeous and delicious! The cupcakes matched perfectly! I can’t thank Jake and his staff enough for the amazing job they did! I highly recommend this bakery! Thank you againo

Jessica Neville

We had the pleasure of working with Bredenbeck's Bakery for our wedding cake! The options & designs where limitless & they helped us work up the perfect cake for big day. They are a great & tasty small bakery & we continue to use them for all our family functions! Thank You 'G.M' for our tasting & design experience ! We truly loved our cake & can not wait for our 1 year anniversary mini!

diemhong Walters

Nancy and her team made a beautiful piece of art work for my daughter’s Sweet 16. She worked with me and provided the details of the cake design, that my daughter changed her mind twice, until I was satisfied. The cake came out amazing, and we loved it. Thank you Nancy and your team for the job well done.

SK

My family absolutely LOVES Bredenbeck's! We've bought custom cakes from them since 2017. The cake designs are beautiful and the flavors are delicious. Their ice cream and pastries are wonderful too. Thank you for all that you do!

Dana Menk

Great experience using Bredenbeck’s for our wedding cake! Turned out beautiful and tasted delicious.

Daniel Rosen

My wife and I recently had Bendenbeck's make the cake for our wedding, and it was beautiful! From the tasting to the order to the day of the wedding, they made the process easy, fast, and stress free. They were willing to work with us on the flavors that we wanted even if they weren't standard. And more so, they were willing to make our dream of having a croquembouche at our wedding come true! We would highly, highly recommend Bredenbeck's for any occasion!! Shout out to Dana who made the process smooth and easy for us!

Donna Dorman

Thank you Brendenbeck’s Bakery for the beautiful 40th Red Velvet Birthday Cake that you created for my daughter, she loved it and her guest loved it. I will be back for cakes in the future.

David R Swinson

Went here today to do cake testing for my upcoming wedding. The samples were delicious and the staff was very nice and professional. She answered all of our questions and was very helpful with designing our cake. I will definitely be back to try some of the other bake products they offer in the future. I highly recommend checking this place out...A+

Bridgette Fleming

Bredenbeck's made our beautiful and delicious wedding cake! We did not even want a cake originally but so glad we did one because we could have not asked for anything better!

Paul Wallace

Savor every bite! Pound cake, sticky buns….you name it…..incredible fresh taste! Local gem!!

Lindsay McCarron

Bredenbeck’s Bakery made our wedding cake dreams come true! We absolutely loved our wedding cake and so did our guests. We chose 4 different flavors for our 4 tier cake and they were all delicious; vanilla butter, pink champagne, chocolate chip, and raspberry. My husband and I met with Nancy for our tasting and cake design planning. She was wonderful and very helpful! We had no idea what we wanted and Nancy guided us to the perfect design. We enjoyed some extra desserts from the bakery as well, all amazing as expected :) We were thrilled when we learned that they provide a freshly baked top tier for our anniversary next year too! Let’s be honest, no one wants to eat cake that’s been in the freezer for a year lol. Thank you so much Bredenbeck’s team!! Photographer: Andrea Krout Photography

Telly Patterson

I was disappointed with the items I purchased! I purchased a slice of strawberry shortcake and a strawberry shortcake sundae and it wasn’t fresh. The cake in the sundae wasn’t either. It was around noon so maybe that was the problem, if so it’s not a good idea to sell certain products after a certain time. Edit… I do want to add I purchased my wedding cake from here and it was Amazing!!!!

Heidi G

Sigh: why the dry cupcakes? I waited a few months to try the cupcakes again hoping that whatever the issue was that it would be addressed. The cupcake flavoring combinations are excellent but the cupcake itself is just so noticeably dry. It's hard to think that these are made fresh daily. For $3.50 a cupcake, they really need to do better. :( Disappointing. Usually it would be a 5 stars because I love this place but we were sold what tasted like day old cupcakes yesterday (very dry and not fresh). We always say how good this place is to our friends but this was just embarrassing esp. when our friends were visiting from out of town. Sugar cookies were excellent. Everything should be being made fresh the day of- isn't that the point of a local bakery? Hope this doesn't happen again because this place is usually great.

Jess Meas

Looking for cakes for all events of life? Look no further! Bredenbecks always delivers with their cakes, the quality is amazing and the price cannot be beat! Ordered a 30th birthday cake and my wedding cake! Our guests loved our wedding cake! Cannot wait to order more cakes from Bredenbecks in the future. Highly recommend!

Tierra Epps-McFadden

Truly a one of a kind bakery. They had the honor of making my wedding cake and they did not disappoint. We also get a complimentary anniversary cake every year!

Elizabeth Abel

Bredenbeck’s catered our dessert bar for our daughter’s wedding on 09.10.22 We had dozens of minis in all varieties …..the guests devoured every delicious drop. Thank you Bredenbeck’s for adding the delicious end to our night.

Brianna N Zender

Bredenbeck's was the bakery we used for our wedding cake. We are not exaggerating it was the best cake we have ever had! They made our cake look so beautiful. The decorators have so much talent, and can practically decorate anything you want on the cake. We got so many compliments on the cake look and taste. They also do a complimentary anniversary topper made fresh a year later, which is awesome! Definitely go with them for your wedding cake! (photography Vasaturo Still and Motion)

Alison Vandermay

We had never been to Bredenbeck's Bakery before, but they were recommended by our venue so we set up a meeting with them to talk wedding cake! We had to reschedule our initial appt and they were very accommodating and understanding. We worked with Dana to discuss cake design and were sent home with a tasting for Covid reasons, which we understood! We also received a coupon for the bakeshop so we picked up some extra goodies while we were there (and everything was amazing.) All of the tastings were for different flavored pound cakes (they use that for all their tiered cakes) and they were ALL delicious. I fully expected to go with just plain or chocolate chip but we were SO impressed with the flavors we couldnt even choose 1, so we went with Rose and Lemon flavors for our tiers. They were so good. Handling billing and details was super simple with Dana through email and on the day of the cake was delivered before we even arrived and we didn't have to think a thing about it. It was even more beautiful than I thought it could be. So many of our guests complimented it and couldn't stop raving over how good it was! We had a little left over and made the rounds the day after the wedding so everyone could have some to save, even though we really wanted to keep it for ourselves! I would 100% recommend Bredenbeck's and will be ordering again!

Steve Reynolds

They delivered on our wedding cake! It was unbelievable! I wish we had more to eat! But it’s a good thing we don’t! Deliciousness! Looking forward to our one year!

Racelyn Baranoski

Bredenbeck's did an amazing job with our wedding cake! It looked elegant and it was exactly what we wanted. It was also very delicious!!!

Miranda Vaders

Bredenbeck's has the best options for wedding cakes. Not only do their cakes taste amazing but their design ! I had so many people come up during my wedding saying how beautiful the cake was ! Everyone I talked to here had been so helpful and were so nice to talk to ! I honestly think that Bredenbeck's is the best option for an amazing wedding cake for a beautiful design and the price was perfect ! Thank you so much !

Harry Mirach

My wife saw a beautiful cake on their website and ordered it for Mom's 90th birthday today! Unfortunately, the communication with the order resulted in a 7 inch cake instead of a 12 inch cake. As a result, the customer was not satisfied in spite of the honest efforts by Bredenbeck's to approximate the larger cake in the smaller size. Nevertheless, Mom loved the cake. Just remember to clarify the size of any cake that you order. In some instances, size does matter. 😷🤔🙏

Michael Robinson, M.S.

On the recommendation of a co-worker, I ordered a strawberry shortcake birthday cake for my son's 19th birthday. THIS CAKE WAS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS AND BEYOND DELICIOUS! 🥰💖👌🏾💥 I highly recommend Bredenbeck's Bakery for all your special occasions, or just because you want a luxurious dessert treat! 😊

Cassandra Meyer

Bredenbecks bakery has amazing cakes! Everyone loved the cake and could not say enough good it was!! I would use them again and highly recommend them to anyone!!

ABBY PERLIN

Our wedding venue used Bredenbeck's and it was sooo delicious! Would not have gone with any other bakery. The tasting process and design session was great, they were so helpful in creating the perfect cake. The cake was our dream come true and tasted amazing! I could eat it all day! Would highly recommend.

Danielle Wheeler

Dana was great! The process was very smooth, clear, and efficient. We called for our consultation and were scheduled right away. Upon arrival, my wife was led to the office where they discussed design, flavors, etc. I wasn't able to make it, so she spent extra time on Facetime going back and forth about everything. Dana was very patient. We even changed the entire design after our consultation and she still was patient and kind. The finished product was phenomenal, we couldn't have been happier

Abdullah M

This is a tiny little place with barely enough room to two people to stand side by side. However, they offer a nice assortment of baked treats, ice cream, and coffee. Delicious ice cream in the welcoming homey atmosphere. Super friendly staff. The guy offered me a free croissant the first time I went there when i told him this is my first time here!! So nice of him.

Amy McVeigh

Bredenbecks is our go to and the best bakery around. They did my wedding cake, cakes and treats for wedding showers, baby showers, and birthday parties. They even made the cutest little cake and cupcakes for us when we were getting ready for the wedding. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!!

Kelly McVeigh

Best cakes and treats in the Philly area! Bredenbeck’s made my wedding cake and several custom cakes throughout the years. The cakes are always delicious, beautiful, and reasonably priced. Would never get a cake anywhere else!

Lisa Marie

Absolutely 5-stars! It all started with Dana. She was a gem to work with and was able to easily communicate our vision with the magic makers. Our wedding was at a Zoo, so we wanted a “white birch” cake to match the semi-rustic theme. It by far exceeded our expectations. There was some concern on the detail since we didn’t want a drop of fondant, and butter cream is not nearly as easy to design with. I don’t know how they did it, but the cake came out amazing. Not only did it look amazing, it tasted amazing! Our guests were complimenting us for months after the wedding on how good the cake was. We can’t thank the Bredenbecks Team enough!

Alexandra Rodrigues

Everyone loved our cake, we chose the Raspberry Swirl pound cake with Vanilla Buttercream icing and the cake was purely divine! A unique choice, but it had everyone wanting another slice.

Estefania Sierra Zanella

For my best friend’s birthday I ordered customized cookies, so happy with the results! And they were so kind and helpful through the creative process. Not pricy. The cookies turned out amazing and taste absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

Joe Rose

I can not explain how great!!!!!! 10 stars all day. Everyone was so so nice. Took my order 3 days prior to my party and absolutely ACED the Elmo cake!! They treated us like family, was a great great experience. Thank you guys and girls for everything I will always come to you and recommend you guys. Oh btw that cake is delicious also.

Jessica Baker

Bredenbeck's Bakery was deliciously amazing to work with for our wedding. They answered all of our questions and gave us a variety of options for the cake. The chocolate chip was a crowd favorite. Thank you for all you did to make our day so special.

Allison Doyle

Bredenbecks did our wedding cake, and not only was it delicious but it was stunning. We wanted a galaxy themed cake, and not only were the excited from the start to create our ideas, they made the experience easy, fun, and delicious! Our guests are STILL raving about our cake two months later! Thank you so much!

Joe Fab

Pumpkin cheesecake, Strawberry shortcake, Flourless chocolate cake Delicious

Jason Zahn

Beautiful high quality (and most importantly) delicious local bakery. Walking the hill up and down after Thanksgiving, we stopped in three local bakeries to sample the goods, and this was BY FAR the freshest and most tasty. The cookie designs and icing are done by real artisans. Local family that lives here buy all their special occasion cakes from this place. Bottom line this is THE bakery for this area..... that said, you do pay for the quality here - royal fancy iced cookies $4.95 EACH and bulk sprinkle cut sugar cookies $0.60 each.

Marie Stott

I ordered 350 cupcakes for a student event last night and they were all delicious and beautifully decorated. It was a “winter wonderland” theme so I asked for light blue icing and sparkles. Just what I was expecting! Everyone loved them!

Robert Blake

In a past life, I used to go to Bredenbeck's twice (sometimes three times) weekly to buy a three row of raisin covered sticky buns. Years later they remain on the higher end of the best sticky buns I have ever eaten, heated with melted butter dripping all over them. Besides their wonderful taste, they have the quality of being "heavy". They are more dense then sticky bums I buy from other places. This is a good thing apparently as they are more filling than other sticky buns I eat. Now I only go on rare occasion due to my self imposed health policy that prevents me from eating things like sticky buns regularly any more. Today I had a rare urge to buy a donut and they were only blocks away from where I was. Their donut selection leaves many things to be desired, but they have jelly donuts I like and I brought one.....at a price of $1.60! It was good, but not $1.60 good. If not for going where I could get a comparable tasting jelly donut for only .90 cents being very inconvenient to places I had to be, I would have canceled the purchase. I can only say good things about Bredenbeck's baked goodies, but their prices have really gone "Chestnut Hill", where they are located in the city. They have never been cheap, but now I find their prices, er...ambitious. Always nice that the young ladies (during the week anyway) who serves up the orders delivers pleasant customer experiences. Not an attitude among the bunch. I will still make my rare triple sticky bun purchase. Which they only make available on weekends these days I was informed today. But moving forward I will check all urges to pay $1.60 for a single donut there.

Sam Shields

Got the Pumpkin milkshake and some cupcakes. Everything was delicious😋. A must have when you're in Chestnut Hill …

Marc Sanders

This is the best REAL bakery in the Area. The cakes , cookies and pies to die for.the staff is so special and friendly . This bakery is well worth trip from anywhere.

Danielle Davenport

Bredenbeck’s fulfilled my wedding cake dreams! They hosted us in their sweet shop in Chestnut Hill. We are big cake people (birthday cake all the way), but we fell in love with their yellow cake with salted caramel frosting. While we were sampling, our designer was able to sketch the perfect design for us - simple and elegant. We were also able to make each layer different, allowing a double chocolate layer preferred by my mother. Everyone at the wedding raved about the cake and the salted caramel and the others had all of their chocolate fantasies become a reality. Bredenbecks was a fabulous choice and I can’t wait to use them again for anniversary cakes!

Equilla Nelms

Our wedding cake was so tasty! I would highly recommend Bredenbeck's. Their communication and customer service was also great!

Maria Daves

Amazing bakery! Service is great and staff is so friendly and accommodative. Great experience every time.

sam beisel

We got our wedding cake from here and it was incredible! We get so many compliments on how delicious it was! I 1000000% recommended this bakery! They were incredibly helpful and friendly! Such a great experience!

G

What a great place! It was my friend's birthday and I wanted to do something special for her so I called Bredenbeck's and asked if they could pick out some items for my friend who lives in Chestnut Hill and she would pick them up. I told them what I would like to spend and paid them over the phone. Kim was fantastic in boxing up some nice individual treats. She even put a ribbon around the box. Thank you Kim for making my friend's birthday even more special! PS.. My friend said the treats were amazingly delicious.

Kristy Rubino [Barber ES]

I loved our wedding cake! Tasted great and reasonably priced!

Tiff Rober

I gave them 3 stars because the cake was moist and flavorful, but dense. First time here. Probably won't come back. The customer service was lacking and they're expensive. A quarter slice of cake was $2. Also, they only have metered street parking and they're on a very busy street.

Anne Standish

The baked goods are delicious, beautiful, & creative, and the ice cream parlor is wonderful. Today I bought dozens of Fasnachts for friends and they were a huge hit! What is also worth expressing is that the staff is really impressive - friendly, professional, efficient, and welcoming!

Karla Buchanan

Made my birthday cake,, was spot on with my request,, I was late in picking up, they called and ensure that I had not forgotten

Louis Fantini

Bredenbeck's made us an unbelievably beautiful (and delicious!) wedding cake. Excellent customer service in the lead up to the date and very reasonable pricing. Also, the cake tasting is a ton of fun, but absolutely do not skip the ice cream shop when you stop by!

Chuck Hall

Amazing cakes. Friendly service. Highly recommended!

elizabeth ferguson

The best place to enjoy delicious ice cream and a charming atmosphere!!! We have so many treasured memories because of Bredenbeck’s!!! ❤️

Toni Burns

Obviously we love Bredenbeck’s. The staff, the ice cream, and the pastries are ALWAYS on point. Fort daughters birthday we ordered a custom cake and it was literally the most delicious cake I have ever eaten in my life. If you are thinking about ordering any sort of pastry from them run order now!! The staff is super responsive and a very kind! Made my daughters dream birthday cake come true without hesitation. We’re 100% satisfied and will be ordering EVERY cake from there in the future.

Elizabeth Fordham

Our favorite spot for special treats on the avenue! Great quality ice cream and friendly service.

Nora Mullen

Bredenbecks is the best bakery/ ice cream parlor ever! Not only does it have the best strawberry shortcake in the world (I highly recommend) it also has the best ice cream. Not to mention the display case in the front is always bringing a smile to my face.

Bruno W

😍🥰🤩 they have so many amazing things to choose from. I don't give 5 stars often but I am almost obligated to do so. I was in search of a frozen treat and went to 1 place before here who happened to be closed. They told me they open at 12. So I get to Bredenbeck's and they also say the ice cream parlor sexton isn't open until 12, BUT we can get you ice cream still. That was some serious ❤ love! Then they had so many treats to pick from in the bakery. Overall very good experience for my first time here. I now understand why the lines always look ridiculous, it's worth the wait.

Kat Cesarr

This place is phenomenal. I had a last minute order I needed for the weekend I sent them a picture but they said they could not make this cake on such short notice However they were able to make a flat sheet cake that resembles it. The cake was beautiful and it was a hit at the party everyone loved it. The cake was really good. Thank you so much and I will be back.

Jennifer Onderko

Bredenbeck's Bakery was absolutely amazing! Service for our wedding cake planning was above and beyond. Our pumpkin wedding cake for our Fall wedding was phenomenal and our guests loved it! HIGHLY recommend!

Christea Pasley

I ordered cupcakes and cookies for my daughter birthday. Went to pick them up, cupcakes weren’t even what I order. Yes they made more and delivered them to the party, I just felt an “oh well” type of feeling. For what I paid, I expected a little more from a business.

Amy

Bredenbeck's made our cake for our wedding on June 13, 2021. It turned out beautifully and was exactly what we wanted! We had a great tasting and consultation experience. We really enjoyed our samples that we got to take home (due to Covid-19 we couldn't do our tasting in the store). They had tons of photo examples and ideas to help us design our wedding cake. They even drew up a sketch of what our cake would look like and sent it to us to review! Bredenbeck's is very professional and responsive, and the cake was delicious. We highly recommend them!

Andrea Kelly

I have worked with Bredenbeck's Bakery over the last few years photographing their amazing cakes that my client's ordered for their wedding day. It was a no brainer when I became engaged, I wanted to use Bredenbeck's as well! It was even better that they partnered with our venue, The Manor House at Prophecy Creek Park. From the beginning, Jake and his staff was accommodating, responsive, kind and genuinely excited to help design our wedding cake. We had SO much fun at our tasting and he really took the time to create my vision into reality. We unfortunately had to postpone our wedding from April to August 2020, and they made the processes seamless. Our guests RAVED about our wedding cake with not only the design, but on how good the cake tasted too. It truly was a show stopper and exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you Bredenbeck's for a wonderful experience and we look forward to using your bakery again!

Lillian McClanahan

Love them my wedding cake was fresh & delicious I’ve been a customer for years when I need a cake they are my definitely the go to place.

Laura Regan Broderick Wood

We often get our celebration cakes here as they are delicious and beautiful. I am always impressed with the kind service offered inside as well. Today there was a line outside waiting to pick out treats since only a limited number of people can be in the store at once. A manager came out to check if there was anyone in line just needing to pick up an order so they could help us without going inside. Since that was me, they were able to bring out my order and take my payment from the side door and saved me a wait in line. That was very thoughtful to find those efficiencies for people. With the taste and the service, it's no surprise folks will put in the extra "COVID" wait in line to get their goodies.

So many good options! My favorite is their guatemalan ripple ice cream, but their raspberry sorbet is also a great crowd pleaser. Aside from their ice cream, I’ve had their pies, cakes, and cookies, and all were fresh and balanced. There’s always a line out the door, so be prepared to wait!

Douglas Siegel

Our wedding cake was absolutely perfect, exactly what we wanted! They custom matched our wedding colors and it was delicious as well!

Susan Longstreth

Best bakery I've ever been too..everything is really good..cupcakes, cakes, cheesecake and pumpkin pie out of this world. The staff is super friendly as well. You won't go to any other bakery after you go here.

Lacey Price

You will never find a better ice cream sandwich in your life!! It is HUGE and they have the best flavor combinations. The seasonal pumpkin and gingerbread is perfect for the fall!

Whitley McWilliams

We used Bredenbeck’s for our wedding cake, and it was absolutely gorgeous and so very tasty. The staff here were very helpful, and they made my vision come true for the design of the cake. We chose lemon cake with raspberry filling and chocolate chip cake with cookies and creme filling. The cake was decorated so beautiful, and the cake was so moist and flavorful (not too sweet at all). I would definitely recommend this bakery to others for their wedding, they won't disappoint.

Amy Gabriel

Bredenbeck’s is the best! My husband and I had our wedding this year and because of COVID our plans were constantly changing. Bredenbecks was super flexible and easy to work with when it came to changing things around. Not to mention their cake is amazing! Not only was our cake absolutely beautiful and everything we wanted it to be but it was delicious! We had pound cake with 1 layer raspberry swirl and chocolate chip in the other and both were delicious! We had also requested a peek-a-boo of our dog on the cake and it was perfect and looked so cute! I wish we lived more locally so we could get baked goods more often!

Tim Knapp

They were able to get me a last minute cake, and it was delicious. I couldn't have been happier! I will definitely be back, especially to try all the other desserts I saw while picking up my cake.

Kyra Mitchell

When i lived in Germantown i use to stop by for ice cream and cupcakes during the summer with my sons. Now that i live in NJ and live right across the street from Sweet Eats bakery. I now drive 37 mins to my favorite bakery Bredenbecks to by my sweets because their quality and taste is still unmatched!! I just drove there today for Mother's Day. As long as they never change ill be a customer for life!

Diana Robinson

Adorable, delicious, and highly recommended. Our wedding venue's package included the cake, and my husband and I had four bakeries we could choose from. Naturally, we set up taste testings at all of them before making a decision. While Bredenbeck's was neck and neck with one of the other bakeries as far as taste (not lying, they were both AMAZING as far as flavor and texture) Bredenbeck's was our choice because they had such versatile designs, and a friendly, professional team. We wanted rather unique fondant cake decorations, cats to be specific, and Bredenbeck's was thrilled to do something so fun; they did a wonderful job! All of our guests agreed that the cake was adorable and delicious. My husband and I look forward to our 1 year anniversary, where we can go back and they will make us an anniversary cake FOR FREE!!! I did call to make a last minute change a few weeks prior to the wedding, which didn't get incorporated, but it wasn't a big deal. When I told the bakery they were very apologetic, and are planning to use the feedback to improve their process going forward. If you make any changes, it might be a good idea to call a few days prior to the event just to verify they are noted in the right manner for the baker/decorator.

jan achenbach

Large variety of flavors, covers, and specialty ice cream sandwiches. Smooth and creamy. Small place. Everyone waits outside and practices social distance.

Cristobal Quiroz

Awesome and super delicious baked goods. The flavors areamazing. I got a cake, cake slices and cookies. One of the best bakeries I've bought pastries from. Definitely recommend this place. I'll definitely be back.

Krissy Lark

Our wedding cake was magnificent and tasted great. I designed our top tier to have flavors my husband and I love blended together as we are blending our lives, families, etc together. The day of our wedding everyone ate the specific tier I wanted to enjoy with my hubby and we had to eat the traditional wedding cake which mom insisted we have as our bottom tier. The bakery gives you a complimentary traditional tier for 1 yr anniversary, it's an additional cost to upgraded. So, I upgraded the tier to have the cake we missed out on and they got the filling wrong. All in all the cake was delicious and I'm pleased, but disappointed I didn't get what I ordered.

Rabb B

We ordered a Sugar-Free Birthday cake for my wife (Half-sheet). We ordered it a week in advance. We asked if it could be ready early, so I called them with this request. Not only was it ready-but wow they did a gorgeous job. It looks almost too beautiful to eat! My wife was pleased, and so am I. AND it tasted as good as it looked. Everyone was pleased. They're a half-hour or so drive from my house, but well worth the trip.

Kara Lamb

A truly fantastic bakery with very reasonable prices! We had our wedding cake from there and it was absolutely perfect. Our guests raved about the cake and many of our friends have subsequently used them for their weddings as well. We also had them create a specially decorated Harry Potter themed cake for us. They did a beautiful job. All of the decorations were impressive. I am not normally a fan of fondant icing, but their rendition is excellent! Additionally, we have ordered birthday cakes, cookies, and other assorted pastries from them over the years and have been consistently impressed. We love their chocolate chip cake and lemon cake the most, but really you can't go wrong with anything from Bredenbeck's!

Lennie Grant

I've used them for 3 different events and will continue to use them. Most recently for a unicorn cake for my daughters birthday. It was beautiful and tasty. I like that their cakes taste good and don't just look good. Everyone loved it. Customizing cakes is easy and their team is so helpful and friendly as well as prompt with responses.

Tiarah Pinckney

My experience with Bredenbeck’s Bakery was amazing from start to finish! From the wedding cake tasting to the finished product, both my husband and myself were pleased with the service and results! The tasting was very personable, my husband who doesn’t even like cake finished his whole plate of samples; they changed his view on pastries! Our cake was exactly what I wanted: white, four tier cake, with sugar shimmer and glitter! All of the guest noticed how the glitter added to my New Years Eve Wedding, and also complimented the taste of the cake! All of the staff are friendly, helpful, and so much more! Thank you all at Bredenbeck’s!

Krystal Rivera

I cannot thank this bakery enough for helping to make our wedding last year so special. Our experience with Bredenbeck’s was great from start to finish. They made the process so easy - everything from the tasting, payments, design and flavor combinations. The guests were in awe of its beauty and detail, and it tasted amazing too! They did such a fantastic job. My husband and I aren’t from the Philly area but if we were, I’d be at Bredenbeck’s all the time. I also can’t say enough about how nice the staff is. Thank you to the whole team for taking my dream cake and making it come to life!

Allison Feldermann

Bredenbeck's has always held a special place in my heart. It is my family's tradition to ensure petit fours from Bredenbeck's are included at most family events! Since I was a little girl, it was my dream to have a tier of petit fours from Bredenbeck's as my wedding cake and on Friday, September 18, 2020, that dream came true! We had 200 petit fours displayed on a 5 tier cake stand and each petit four was exquisitely decorated in our wedding colors and tasted heavenly (as they always do). Do not think twice about contacting Bredenbeck's to create your special dessert!

Rebecca Grausam

I cannot say enough about how easy Jake has made the entire process of ordering our wedding cake and how impressed I am with the quality!! Beautiful design and incredibly tasty! So unbelievably accommodating! No high pressure sales at all and very easy to work with. Price is very reasonable! I would highly recommend to anyone!!

Nicole Shoetan

Bredenbecks did our cake and dessert buffet for our wedding on 8/11/18 and they did a wonderful job! We had a tasting with them beforehand to choose our cake flavors, designs and dessert options. They took our ideas and turned them into a beautiful cake that we loved! The other desserts we had from them were SO delicious! I would definitely recommend them!

Erica Schneider

Bredenbeck's just did my bridal shower desserts and they were amazing! Super easy to work with and they delivered exactly what I wanted. Beautiful, yummy cake that everyone raved about. Plus cookies, minis, and a variety of shooters. Everything was amazing. Super excited to use them again in a few months for my wedding cake. Thanks!!!!!

Melanie Rosen

From the outside this place is very cute. It looks like an old fashion bakery inside. I went for the ice cream. I had the mint chocolate chip. It was very good. Everything looks fresh here. The service was good.

Brian Lindsey

Very good ice cream. Don’t trust google hours though.

Katie Saine

Bredenbeck's made our cake for our November 2018 wedding and it was perfect in every way! The entire experience from cake tasting to delivery was so easy and went smoothly! Everyone at our wedding commented how beautiful the cake was as well as how delicious it tasted. We will definitely use Bredenbeck's for future cake needs and can't wait to enjoy their cakes for years to come! Highly recommend and thank you so much!

The selection of individual items continue to delight. The standard huge character cookies are always great, and what better way to top that off than with ice cream. I like the idea that baking is on site, so you know it’s fresh. They are only one star off because I can never seem to get a custom cake within the event time frames.

Christopher Heayn

As a bakery it is a solid option for getting your fill of cookies(various types/toppings), cakes, donuts, etc. They also have coffee, ice cream and sherbet. Regardless whether you need a cake made to order for a wedding or get together or you just want something good to eat, this is a great place to go to get your fill. If you're looking for something in particular, whether it's a type of cookie or cake or some other form of pastry, then just place an order. The service provide has always been excellent and the same can be said of the products being sold. Recommended if your in or around the area to stop in and support this business. Prices are about average for bakeries in the area but can be high for some item's. In the end the quality is high and worth the price. Just remember to feed the meter or else the traffic cops will get you the second you start walking away from your car. Also be careful some sometimes the meters are broken/malfunctioning. Regardless this bakery/ice cream parlor is recommended for its quality and service.

Rae A

My favorite ice cream place. They have a mix of mostly classic flavors with a few creative additions (“graham slam” is the best ice cream I’ve ever had, anywhere) plus cute seasonal cookies in nice packaging to be given as gifts.

Steve Chan

We had our wedding in May of 2018 and Bredenbeck’s was one of the preferred vendors of our venue. Emily was great to work with. She was very attentive and listened to the requests we were looking for. We communicated through emails and she sent us updates regularly about the evolution of our wedding cake. During the tasting, we were overwhelmed with the amount of variety to choose from, but she was very helpful and accommodating in answering our questions and addressing our vision of what we were looking for. Emily even offered us to take some samples home to taste to make sure we knew exactly what we wanted. Even the simplest things such as making payments they were flexible with in the sense that we can mail it rather than having to physically be there. We eventually chose a raspberry cake with lemon butter cream (highly recommended by the way) and the pound cake with lemon butter cream. We will be returning to Bredenbeck’s!

Vanette Jordan-Lumogo

I like that they adhere to occupancy limits in the shop and everyone in line appears to be chill about it. They now have a takeout window on the side of the building that you can go to if you know EXACTLY what you want. I, unfortunately, have to go inside to look at everything even though all the flavors are written out on the board by the front 🚪. Yup, " reading is fundamental!" 😀

Tania Alexander

Amazing ice cream ! Loved every bite :)

Deborah L. Davis

Although Bredenbeck's has been a part of my life more than 25 years of buying sweets and ice cream cones in summers, ordering wedding cakes, recipient of birthday cakes, this past Thursday for my sister's birthday I ordered a cake she desired an italian rum cake which was absolutely superb!! She loved it. Definitely any doubt or you never been here before, take my word for it. EVERYTHING is deliciously baked here and service is just what you expect. Try those beautifully decorated cookies and the raspberry swirl pound cake....truly legends!!!

Kevin Derr

Great place to get some ice cream. Nice selection of flavors and cones. Staff is friendly and responsive. COVID-19 protocols are in place so only four persons are able to go in at a time. Well done and quick.

Kristen Haas

We got our wedding cake from Bredenbecks and it was perfect - even better than I imagined. It looked amazing, tasted better than the taster cake we had tried (i think the taster cake was just cold, but obviously it was good enough for us to choose it), and froze well so we enjoyed eating it a few months later. They will even make us a mini recreation for our 1-year anniversary for free!

Christa Caruso

I just wanted to say thank you to Bredenbecks. They donated a beautifully decorated gingerbread house to my friend who has 2 children with medical issues that have kept them homebound because of the Coronavirus. The gingerbread just made their Christmas.🎄 Also we ordered 2 gingerbread kits for our family this year. My kids made one to eat and one to keep for a decoration. The structure of the house and the quality of the icing really made it easy for the kids to decorate. Happy holidays!

Thomas Saylor

Bredenbecks bakery and ice cream parlor never disappoints! We always use them for our celebrations and anniversaries! The creative designs coupled with the choice of multiple different cakes, icings, and ice creams make them the perfect choice for any occasion!

Tim Granata

Their ice cream is pretty good. I had the Philly Graham Slam and Birthday Cake flavors on two different occasions. Both were very good. However, it is quite expensive. I could go to the Trolley Diner and get the equivalent items for literally a quarter of the price.

Teresa Burke

Clyde did a fantastic job with our wedding cake. It was so beautiful, and tasted incredible. He listened to what we wanted, we also brought in pictures - which helped. Don't know if I can wait a year to eat the top of the cake. He was also professional and had great follow through.

Molly Krause

From start to finish Bredenbeck's bakery helped transform my dream of my wedding cake and made it a reality. The employees were most helpful and the wedding cake tasting was very informative and fun! I could not have asked for a more delicious spectacular cake. Overall, I would recommended Bredenbeck's to not just people searching for a wedding cake but also to anyone trying to have a enjoyable experience along the way. Thank you Bredenbeck's once again!

Mrs. Rich

My wedding cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious. (The raspberry filling is unbelievable). Emily assisted us with the cake tasting and design. I had many last minute add-ons and she fulfilled every one! She is awesome! The counter staff is friendly AND smiles! We will return for our anniversary cake and more,! Thank you from the Richardsons!

Jerrylyn Bowman

My Birthday cake was done by this wonderful bakery, and I was so happy with it. The cake was not only delicious, but so cute. The bakery worked with my friend, who lives in Baltimore, via email and phone to do the cake. So very pleased with the outcome!!!!

Joc Malys

all products from this place are awesome! whether you go in and grab stuff to go, or order for a special occasion, you'll be happy! i ordered a cake and cupcakes for a bridal shower and i was very happy with the results. the cake was beautiful and tasted delicious, the service was fantastic, and they worked with me to make a beautiful cake that was under the budget i had planned to spend! i will use this bakery in the future for sure!!!!!

Chris Flynn

Our cake tasting was fantastic and they were able to make recommendations for the cake decorations that fit our wedding well. Cake delivery went smoothly and everyone at our wedding said the cake tasted great! We will be returning to Bredenbeck's for our future cake needs.

Mounir Badawy

Great place. Good muffins and good cakes. Best ice cream for hundreds of miles around. One person in the store at a time is a little tough especially with cold cold weather outside

Kia Apgar

Friendly Great Customer ,great bake goods, we are using there wedding cake for my son's wedding. Go by try them out. They will never a family tradition for special events, holidays and just because.

Alyssa Dunphy

My mother ordered my brother's groom's cake from Bredenbeck's Bakery for the rehearsal dinner. But not just any groom's cake -- a Ravens-themed cake, complete with a life-sized football! It was a spectacular success, the talk of the party. The design and construction of the cake was wonderful. The cake itself which was a full sheet of chocolate and yellow cake with chocolate mousse was delicious, so moist. The full sheet was pretty much gone. The Ravens fans went wild and I sent pictures to some of the players’ Twitter accounts. I heartily recommend the bakery to anyone. They also prepared the wedding cake, which was equally beautiful and delicious.

Brian Kipruto

Bredenbecks did an amazing job on our quirky wedding cake! Rustic, angled, semi naked cake with trexes in the middle. It was a huge hit! They nailed the creativity we were going for and more! Thank You!

Nick

Pretty legit little bakery with great pastries and cakes. Their history and reputation in Philadelphia and the neighborhood are well known to locals. Parents ordered a few things for "Easter" and I picked them up the day of, the line went out the door. Had a really good cannoli and an Easter pound cake. I've never visited the ice cream parlor but I'm sure I will at some point.

David Decktor

The charm of the building is carried throughout the products and service at Bredenbeck's. I had to order a specialty cake for my dad's birthday and knew little about the process. I sent a few emails back and forth with the bakery and when I picked up the cake it was exactly what I had hoped for and more. The cake, almond with a raspberry filling, tasted better than it looked. People at the party were amazed and let me tell you Bredenbeck's is not an easy word to spell over and over. I highly recommend and will be back!

Lori Silverstein

This was our second experience with Bredenbeck's-designing a mitzvah cake. Caitlyn was incredible. We spent a relaxing amount of time discussing what our son's interests were, what kind of event we were hosting and together collaborated on a design that wowed us and our guests. The tasting was so much fun too! When we arrived at the party we couldn't wait to see the results of our meeting. The appearance exceeded our expectations! But then we ate the cake and couldn't believe that it tasted as good if not better than it looked! Every layer (5) was a different flavor because we couldn't decide which we liked the best at the tasting. We live about an hour away from Chestnut Hill and will order and drive to pick up desserts for any special occasion we have in the future! I'll try to post a picture too.

Carolyn Rees

I absolutely love this place! Best bakery in town - hands down. Everyone there is extremely friendly, accommodating, and talented. They are incredible at capturing your vision to a T for customized orders and all occasions. I've ordered a number of baked goods from there, but a few of my favorites were the mustache-themed birthday cake (with butterfinger filling inside - my mouth is watering just thinking about it), a "wind energy"-themed cake, and most recently, adorable onesie cookies for my sister's baby shower (which were a huge hit at the shower - and were made on such short notice!). I've had nothing but great experiences not only with the orders, but the people as well. I think it's safe to say that I will be getting my baked goods from there for years to come.

Dequanya Williams

They definitely take your ideas and make them come to cake-form life 😊 …

Taylor Lauren

Bredenbeck's Bakery made an absolutely gorgeous cake for our wedding on short notice! The staff was very accomodating and the final product exceeded my expectations- its a talented team! They work with the Valley Green Inn and were excellent to work with.

Reese Morsa

I was looking for a special cake for my Mom's 60th surprise birthday party; a friend recommended Bredenbeck's. And, I am so happy he did! My first visit w/ the bakery staff was wonderful...I was greeted with smiles (not to mention that it smells heavenly in there!) and all of my questions were answered. They showed me pictures of previous cakes as well and I placed my order that afternoon. The communication via email was excellent...I sent pictures of what I wanted and even made some last minute changes that the staff so kindly adjusted! I did not see the cake until the day of the party...they delivered it to the venue (early!) and it was PERFECT! It was more than I expected! It was a Michael Kors 3D leopard print purse with a fondant heel...AMAZING!!! The staff at the venue could not stop looking & talking about it, and my Mom was elated! The presentation, the flavor (chocolate chip pound cake), the talent, and the communication w/ the staff was EXCEPTIONAL! I will be going back for future family events! Thank you again Bredenbeck's Team!!! ~Theresa M.

David Loewi

A very pleasant, very "local" place. Bakery and ice cream shop. Not homemade ice cream, but the next best thing... Bassett's, a Philadelphia institution since, I think, the 19th century, and still family-owned and operated. Good quality and value on both sides of the shop.

Kristy Rubino

Amazing bakery! You have to try the sticky buns!

Shannon Freitas

Brendenbeck's bakery staff were awesome from start to finish with picking out our son's first birthday cake! We were provided excellent customer service and assistance with deciding which type of cake to choose(we went with a vanilla layer cake with strawberries inside, vanilla buttercream on top and chocolate buttercream on the sides). When I picked up the cake - I couldn't have been happier with the decoration - it was EXACTLY what we were envisioning. Thanks so much for making our son's 1st birthday cake delicious and adorable! :)

Naomy Val-Cro

Serves Bassetts ice cream here which can be pricey, but still sooo good and worth it! They also offer slices of their pound cake, cookies, cupcakes and a variety of cake slices and an assortment of other pastries. Reasonably priced and super patient and helpful staff. One of my favorite bakeries to recommend and they usually have a Groupon available.

Suzanne Nam

Lovely little ice cream shop in Chestnut Hill serves great flavors and has friendly, knowledgeable staff. Ice cream isn't necessarily made by them, tho, so it's not quite the same as the the old fashioned shops that have their own ice cream made in house. No seating here and it can get very crowded. #letsguide #bestofphilly

Claudia Beechman

I ordered a chocolate birthday cake. It was beautiful...perfectly decorated. The cake was moist, but it lacked flavor. The buttercream icing was sweet, but bland. Just not chocolate-y enough!

Elizabeth Barr

Bredenbeck's was sooooo amazing!!!! Our cake was not only delicious but was absolutely stunning!!!!! They created EXACTLY what my husband and I wanted. I wanted to cry when I saw the cake for the first time on our wedding day!!!! Can't say enough about them!!! Thank you so much, Bredenbeck's!!!

Rich Hines

If you ever find yourself in Chestnut Hill section of the city, I would highly recommend this place for a treat. They have wonderful employees and the many flavors that they offer is great! It's a bit cramped inside, but eh, not bothersome at all. It's a bit pricey, but I think its worth the money.

Charles Hayes

OMG. You've never had anything this good! The girls that work there are so nice and helpful. The free samples are plentiful. Everything is so fresh. If anyone knows of a better bakery please post it, cause I want to go there. I doubt you'll be able to top Bredenbeck's though!

arun ramakrishnan

Great location. No seating on the bakery side. There might be some in the icecream side entrance. Not sure. The cup cakes are great. Irish potatoes are great. Cakes are great. Super Friendly staff.

Kaitlin Keeney

The assortment of the gourmet cupcakes is amazing. My personal favorites are the turtle, pink champagne and chocolate peanut butter. I ask their friendly staff to put ribbon the box and take it too all my clients and friend's houses. Getting an ice cream on the way out definitely seals the deal!

Rachael Taylor

Our wedding caterer works exclusivey with Bredenbeck's Bakery. After our free consultation and cake tasting, we choose the perfect cake for us. Bredenbeck made the decision super easy. They arrived early and delivered a cake that was exactly like the sketch from the consultation. For the bottom tier, we choose a raspberry swirl with the top tier a traditional pound cake. The cake was frosted in a butter cream teal ombre effect with a pink flower to the side. Guests raved about how delicious the raspberry pound cake and the butter cream frosting was. They even give you a free cake on your 1 year anniversary!

Desiree Clement

Delicious baked goods, friendly people, definitely stop in and treat yourself. Even better, they take credit cards! Just don't rely on the hours posted on their webpage, we went there for late evening ice cream once and they were shut tight despite the website saying the ice cream parlor part was open until 10pm.

T. Money

Great experience everytime I come thru. I've been coming to Bredenbeck's Bakery for 5 yrs. The baked goods are always fresh & flavorful. The shop is always clean, & bright, as is Staff & the Customers upbeat & usually friendly. Staff usually are, too. It's alway a treat when we stop thru.

Frank Sklar

They make their own ice cream. It was really good. They feature their own flavors and the ice cream variety is really good. Small inside but it doesn't matter at all. They also feature a great cake selection. Wonderful place!

Amori Flores

Wonderful experience here I know the owner personally He’s very very funny The future child is going to be a bundle of joy Congratulations 💚

deborah scott

I ordered a cake for a small wedding reception and it was wonderful! It was a yellow cake with buttercream frosting, beautifully decorated with buttercream roses. The cake was moist and delicious and lovely to look at. Highly recommend. Thanks

Madeline Hobson

BEST raspberry jelly donuts I've ever had. Also, the service isn't too bad either.. A woman named Julia helped me and she was pretty cute if I do say so myself ;). Great place!

Tiera McClure

My family has been going here since I was younger. I remember getting on the bus with my grandma to go here just to get cupcakes and order cakes for parties. Now my daughter's go with my mom (their grandmom) to place orders. Always great customer service and they are always honest and point you in the best direction to make your order super special.

Molly Wheatley

This place is amazing! I asked them to make my dads 60th birthday cake with only a weeks notice and they did a phenomenal job and tasted SO amazing too! They are so talented and I am SO happy with this cake!

Natalie Boswell

The ice cream was pretty good, but it was served out of Turkey Hill containers. I'm not sure if they make the ice cream on site but when I noticed the containers said Turkey Hill, I got a little annoyed that I might have just paid like $6 for a scoop of grocery store ice cream. If they do make their own, they should cover up the Turkey Hill logo!

April Caldwell

One of the Best places on the Hill . Wish I could give them more stars.. professional friendly and curtious Staff. The cake's and donuts 🍩 are fresh and delicious 😋. …

Luis L

Love it. Every venue I've gone to say they use this location and I've been going for about 2 and a half years.

Felicia Anthony

Was feeling a little down today . My love bug surprised me with a treat 💕 Coffee ice cream on a sugar cone 😋. Love it here …

Jamie Blank

The staff did an amazing job capturing our quirkiness for our big day! Everyone loved the cake! Thank You.

Cindy Taglioli

My husband and I hosted a rehearsal dinner prior to my son's wedding in Philadelphia. I sent Bredenbecks a photograph of my son's black lab and they made a 3-D groom's cake that looked exactly like the dog. My son was thrilled and the guests raved about the cake!

Mike W

Awesome place, super good cupcakes and customer service is top notch…Will be coming back here very soon.

Tana Julian

We got our wedding cake here for our June 8, 2013 wedding. The cake and service at Brendenbeck's was perfect. The cake was delicious, will definitely use their service again.

Adam Uchimoto

A wonderful little ice cream shop connected to a corner bakery with delicious flavors to choose from.

cgeorg14

Absolutely AMAZING sticky buns, and even better customer service!! Thank you Bredenbeck’s for making our weekend :)

Nicole Volpa

Massive line, didn't have croissants, after I had called while in line, 10 minutes before being helped, to inquire if they had some, they said yes, but when I got to the counter, they said the last ones were sold 20 minutes ago. I wound up buying a cheese Danish instead, and it was fabulous, but I'm still disappointed in being assured croissants when there weren't any

T.J Gaines

This bakery is awesome, they offer sugar free cakes which taste amazing. The staff is friendly whether you are ordering over the phone or in person.

Kshitij Shah

I liked this place a lot. A sweet little ice cream place in the beautiful suburb. They had quite a bit of variety thought. I tried three different flavors before buying and a cup and it was delicious.

Tricia Bruning

Fabulous! A friend said to me "I worship at the alter of your cake - WOW!" Thanks Bredenbeck's for the most adorable, perfect Superhero cake for my son's third birthday! He loved, loved, loved it! And so did I !!

Cassandra Jones

The taste cakes cookies decorations are so good. Many many people go thru their doors. Ice cream parlor next door. Seats outside for you to sit an talk.

Marcet Ponton

This is one of the BEST bakeries I have ever been to. Fantastic in every way and the staff is friendly and efficient. I go there often and never regret it. The doughnuts are great.

Mark Baker

Most delicious and amazing cakes ever. Got our wedding cake and cupcakes from Bredenbeck's and I can not recommend this bakery enough!

Kate Foyle Keshgegian

I have used Bredenbecks for many different special occasions and have always been thrilled. Their pound cake is so delicious and the cakes always look wonderful. I highly recommend them for anything

Peter Withheld

Extremely decadent and delicious ice cream- the chocolate mint is top notch. Pastries range from ok to pretty good. The croissants are the best baked good here.

Stephanie Mardekian

We went to order a wedding cake. What an awesome experience! Nice people and amazing cakes! Wish I lived closer so I could stop by often.

S Mosley

Small shop with a variety of options. Ice cream on one side, baked goods on the other. Even has an area upstairs when you are planning for a wedding (cake). Desserts are overpriced but taste great.

Morgan Knives

Not sure if I like the bakery or ice cream parlor more. I don't think I've ever had anything from here that I didn't line. Their sugar cookies are definitely a favorite in my house.

SHANE DAVIS

Get that ice cream shaped cookie with the cinnamon and the sprinkles if they have it. They have awesome ice cream. Definitely try the Guatemalan ripple! Great place with great service.

Dan Stroiman

Love their shadow layer cake! My parents have been getting it for me for my birthday for the last 30+ years! Also love giving it to my parents for their birthdays! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 …

Mira Racheva

Their German Chocolate Cake is out of this world. The best cake I have ever had. Also, I highly recommend trying the eclairs.

Michele Daddona

Personal service in an old school family owned bakery. You can't go wrong no matter what you choose as a special treat!

Mark Mcleod

Took grands, 8 and 5, there because they wanted ice cream. Staff was very pleasant to the girls. A counter person offered the girls a free cookie while we waited.

Great taste. But I was ordering a cake and they were guessing the prices for a up charge on gold icing, they could have done better. Customer service was ok.
