Reviews of Denise's Delicacies
Celebrated my 40th Bday, and I just had to have a cake from Denise’s for the occasion. Haven’t been there in years, and the cake did not disappoint. Everyone raved about it! It was delicious! Just how I imagined it to still taste. A bit pricey, but it was worth every penny!
6/3/22 UPDATE: I really hope they can find some new cashiers. The wait is so long. And God forbid someone in front of you has to place an order, you might as well pull up a chair and get comfortable. They needed to discount the sweet potato pies today because they were all burnt! I did buy some of my favorite glazed donuts today, which are always yummy!
UPDATE: everything is still delicious of course. the only issue is they need more cashiers. the wait is too long.
everything is delicious & the new restaurant looks great! it's bright & inviting.
Very nice black owned bakery in North Philadelphia. This place has been a legendary staple in the community for a long time and very well respected. At certain times of the week, the line can be long, but the cakes and pastries are outstanding
Last time I was here was about 20yrs ago with mom, I'm happy you guys are still there. Stopped by early for some pound cake, came home and already ate some lol glad I got two of everything. Cakes are amazing. (I'll be back again before 20 more yrs pass lol )
Denise’s delivers every time. I LOVE the pound cake but I have never purchased anything that was not great. Consider using the app to order in advance.
I've been going to Denise's bakery for over 20 years and this is The BEST Strawberry Shortcake Ever 🍰🤤
I would leave out early from home to get a slice before going to school or get a slice afterwards. Even after that horrible fire, this recipe and all the other goodies STILL taste the same...... Nothing has changed, still Delicious 😋
The best the line just be long but the cakes are excellent 👍 been going for years. My daughter 34 been going since she was 13. Best cakes in Philly 😋 …
I had a wonderful birthday. Thank you for the beautiful pound female 1/4 sheet cake. I am enjoying my last chunk in a few minutes. Worth EVERY penny and more thanks to your wonderful baking. Everything went perfectly from the online ordering and payment system to the actual pickup of one of the most beautiful cakes I have ever enjoyed. Thank you. Keep up the great work.
I’ve had two specialty cakes done here and they were both phenomenal. Just bring in a picture and the staff here will handle the rest. I appreciate the staff being patient with me as I modified my design to make it perfect! The cake was both beautiful and delicious and was quite a hit at my graduation party. I love their cookies, pies and pastries also. The apple pound cake, sweet potato pie and heath cookies are some of my favorites but everything here is great! Be prepared for a wait whenever you stop by. Hopefully they will be able to hire more staff or streamline the ordering process soon, but it’s definitely worth the wait
I previously loved this place. But the last time i purchased a cake from their it grew mold after being frozen, just less than a week after getting it. I bought the cake, sliced and put in the freezer, when i took out a slice four days later it had black spots throughout. This can only mean that they are baking and freezing there cakes before they sell them to you. Because there is no reason a freshly baked cake should mold that soon!
This place is an addiction. I love the glaved pound cake. The Strawberry short Cake is slamming . I get the chocolate chip cookies from here. I haven't had a donut since she recovered from the fire. Buy i will lol. I had to put myself on a schedule so. If not I would probably know all the employees by name lol. I'm so glad she's Back!!! I'll be there tomorrow for a fix 😋🤣🤣
The cakes are delicious! Ebt works every now and then.
They typically get large orders correct. Staff is friendly.
Great place my son loved the cake
I still think of Denise's as one of the best bakeries in Philadelphia in it's never disappointing it's time I go to here it's time I go deer for occasion the cake is still delicious
Haven't been since it was on fire the 1st thing I ate was good. The true test will be when I cut this birthday cake tomorrow
Recently purchased a couple slices of the lemon/pound cake that tasted a bit stale!
Love love Denise's her carrot cake is my weakness love the fact that they are taking measures thru the Covid. I didn't mind waiting outside for my turn will stay a customer.
Ok so I’m here at Denise’s and as USUAL these ladies are PHENOMENAL. They will work with u and bring you idea to life. They’re so patient and so accommodating. These ladies will go outta their way to ensure the Best customer service. Also they will make the best suggestions for you. Ms Dana and Natrona did THEE most for me. Each of them took their time with me because they know I’m extra. But I love this place and these ladies. They really NEVER fail Me. I’m a customer for life. Thank You ladies so much. And to whomever brings my Kids cakes to life every yr BIG thanks 🙏🏽
Its worth the visit and hard to pass up those delicious baked sweets and clover rolls.
I truly enjoy the strawberry shortcake. Delightful. Did not know what to expect on such a rainy dreary day but the young lady (Natrona) who helped me today was very professional very polite. Keep up to good work. 👍🏽👌🏽👏🏽 kudos to you!😊 …
I recently visited Denise's during a recent trip back home to Philly.
I ran to Denise's lol and I assure you the pound cake is just as buttery and delicious as I remember from 10 years ago.
They offer a variety of yumminess that will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth. Ice cream too.
Street parking can be a challenge however, and they are located in a tough neighborhood where I stepped over a pile of human waste 🤢
The biggest negative I have are their operating hours.
9-5 for a bakery is confusing. Most pastry eaters want their danish, muffin etc with their morning coffee/tea. Right?
I enjoy Denise's but the hours just don't make sense to me 🤷🏾♀️
These were the prettiest cake ever & taste really good I was so pleased with them,I'll always make Denise Bakery my Baker
Good baked goods. The service was slow due to a customer issue. At one time there was 3 people helping this one customer. Waited for 45 minutes to be seen.
The pound cake with buttercream icing was delicious as always. It has the best flavor, however, it was a little dry in comparison to all the times I’ve had it in my life.
Update: great baked goods (especially the pound cake) but not worth the wait. Covid protocols layered over slow--albeit-- pleasant employees have compelled me to take my baked goods shopping elsewhere. Good luck to Denise's. I'll try again in a few months.
I love Denise's, I have to come every year here for my Birthday cake which is June 23. Been coming for years now. Unfortunately the pound cake I purchased wasn't the best this year. It tasted different than I've tasted before. Was a little disappointed. Maybe it just was a bad day. My Cousin got a lemon chocolate pound cake in April for his birthday and it was delicious. I should have got that instead.
Best place to go, to get authentic, great, tasteful, nice-sized donuts.
This was my first time visiting Denise's since the pandemic. Though I ordered and paid online, I still had to wait outside in line before being permitted to enter the store. The pavement did not allow the distance of six ft apart and it was a bit tight inside.
The cake we ordered was the 9" Neapolitan, it was DELICIOUS and beautiful. Sorry I will include picture next time!
Denise makes the best cookies this side of the Mississippi!! Our office brought in some OG chocolate chips, chocolate chip with nuts and some Oreo Chunk cookies that were just incredible! 10/10 would recommend
Been purchasing from Denise's for many years for holiday desserts. Always delicious and enjoyed by my entire family and guests. ThIs year however, purchased a pound cake, that tasted very stale. No density to this cake, which was very crumbly. Game changer, I guess it's time to find a new bakery. Had to throw this cake away. VERY DISAPPOINTED
Her cakes are always very good! I ordered 2; 1 for my birthday on Wednesday and 1 for my granddaughter who will be here on Thursday. Both were reasonably priced. FYI get there before 5:50, if you in line when security checks at this time you will be served. They close at 6. Mask up and social distancing is enforced hence the security.
The baked goods are great, but standing outside especially in the cold is not a good option. Please develop a new strategy, hire more staff or perhaps allow preorders. Pre-orders could allow immediate pick-ups so your walk-in customers can get into the bakery.
The service was ideal. I love that they are adhering to COVID precautions and going beyond. The door is locked and people are admitted allowing the store to keep customers at a four or five person group . Service is professional and organized.
THE PASTRIES ARE WORTH THE WAIT.
I am giving a 5 because everything is superb! Pound cake with icing and the strawberry shortcake fantastic. I left a message and I was called back quickly so I could give my order. The person was very helpful. My order pick up was for 330. I was an hour away and could not get off work for that time, so I looked at the website snd it said they closed at 6. I arrived at 459. There was a line outside, but that was not a problem because I had a telephone order. The armed guard with the tactical gear at the door was a little disconcerting, but I could deal. I suspect he is a necessity. Mr officer is probably very good at the job that he has trained for, but customer service is not his strong suit. The abrupt manner made people a little defensive including myself when I realized that there was a possibility that I was not going to get my cakes because it was closing time. I stated the website says that you close at 6. His answer- I don’t care what the website says, we close at 5. I always like to give a solution- a better answer would have been- I am sorry about that, I will let the owners know about the discrepancy. I observed other ruff responses. I did not diminish the rating because of this because these are trying times and the officer is probably doing something he never expected to do- cake orders😀. As people like to say- u don’t know how it is. I do know, I have been in a customer facing role traveling around the country for over 30 years and yes, I am willing to stand out there for a day with him / just call 🏨😀
Has been a staple in my community my entire life... live u Denise
I love the chocolate strawberry short cake which is why I order one every year for my birthday. However this year I requested for it to be ready for pick at 10:00am so when I get there it could be just handed to me since the only allow one customer inside at a time. I waited over 30 minutes for something I paid for two weeks ago. I will be glad when COVID is over.
Denise's strawberry shortcake is too good for words. Got one for my birthday and we ate every drop.
There's not a finer bakery than Denise's! All others compare. Customers service is excellent and they do specialty cakes as well. The taste of the cake and icing is scrumptious, delicious, divine! Big fan! SALUTE!
Thank you for making my bus cake, photo cake for his birthday party.I want to thank you for making my other son cake also
Love Denise's! I have been purchasing birthday cakes for years and have never been displeased with service or purchases. The cakes are perfect, fresh not overly sweet icing and soft delicious cake. The absolute best!
Was the best experience ever truly professional staff!
Still had to wait outside for almost 10 minutes before I could go in. Had to wait another 10 minutes before I ordered. But the pound cake, and donuts I got made it all worth it. So good!!🎂😉 …
Please put a sign on the door when EBT machine is down, Thanks so much👍 appreciate it …
Absolutely amazing Denise is definitely a pillar to the community,
Update 👁️👁️ my first granddaughter baby shower was this last weekend a communication error occurred and turn the color of our cake was off however Denise staff are amazing they totally understood that this priceless moment could not be recaptured but they tried their best to satisfy us and we truly appreciate you all thank you very much from blessed hands Inc 💋
The food is delicious, they use real buttercream icing. The line was a bit long but it's worth it for the quality of what they make at this bakery.
Most of the cakes are good. I really enjoy the strawberry shortcake.Only problem with it is they put a piece of strawberry on the icing and if you don't eat it within a day or two it molds onto the cake. I found this out the hard way so I recommend that you eat the strawberry first.
It's okay but there cakes are two damn high and some of the worker's act to ignorate most of the time and when I ask for a special cookie tray all I got that they don't who is the decorators and its none a very good thing when running a bakery and plus I can make much more better cakes and my pound is much more better then Denies cake like seriously.
My cake was COMPLETELY FROZEN INSIDE!!! But after thawing it tasted great!! I complained and they gave me 5 dollars off my next order!!
Ordered my cake 6/28 online pick up 7/3 9:30 am. Mother bday 7/3. Happy Birthday Mom, grandmom( or G'mom). I live in NC but I lived in Philly prior ordered from Denise's over 20 years for all bday occasions. Never had a problem but I knew when the baker came out explaining it was a problem. I had to change and rewrite my review. The owner called to make it right. Im big on quality & customer service. Her attitude was totally different than the baker. His attitude does not represent the owner. His attitude was take the cake or not. Appreciate the hospitality Kisha. The quality was already on 10.
Pastry Treats are always Fresh and Sweetened to Perfection. The Birthday Pound Cake🎂 and Strawberry Cupcakes are to Die for.😋 …
Always very good!
When you want a good cake a special cake or just a flavorful cake. This is the place get it.
They specialize in cakes for all occasions and great customer service. The donuts and cupcakes are so good until they melt in your mouth.
Pound cake is amazing. Small peach cobblers are disappointing; just overly seasoned peaches in a little tin container, with a piecrust on top. Sweet potato pie was ok. Would definitely come again for the pound cake. Would also try their other cakes
I placed an order paid by credit card I tried to set up a date for pick up the system would allow it. I placed the order12 5 2020 I called 3 times everyday left messages every time 5 days straight not one return call .I check my credit card the charges were taken out the same day I order I have spent thousand s of dollars in the pass .and never received this type of bad service.as of today 12 9 2020 still have not returned my call. guess when you make it to the top, you forget where you started from. .they made enough money they don't need mine anymore. they don't even deserve 1 star .update I was contacted by the owner and she was never nice and understanding of why I was upset about the service and assured me that it will never happen again, when a company can admit that there was a wrong ,that makes them 2nd to none. they don't want to lose their customer. and I love her cakes I have been coming there for the last 20 years before the fire and after. this is why I change my star from 1 to 5
This is one of the best bakeries in the city and I have quite a few friends that will agree definitely a good place to score top-notch sweets they can be a little busy so patience is a virtue
This is the best bakery ever. I order personalized birthday cakes for two of my daughters. They LOVED the decorating on them. And we all LOVED the way they tasted. One cake was chocolate layer cake with chocolate icing. The other was pound cake with vanilla icing. Delicious! 😎 …
Can't go to North Philly without stopping at all Denise's.
Denise's is one of the top notch bakeries located in the city. They make everything from donuts to birthday cakes. Everything is always fresh and delicious. be prepared to wait as the wait time can be well over 20 minutes if you're lucky. There is usually a line forming out the door. But there is also metered parking on the Street so bring plenty of quarters. You can purchase ice cream products there as well. They also sell single servings drinks such as milk, juice and water. Never been disappointed when buying my bakery goods there. Don't think that you will be either.
I have been going to this bakery since I was 4 yrs old & that's over 40 years. I love her baked goods!
Update on my review: today is 2/12/2021 I have been getting strawberry shortcakes annually for my children as a Valentines treat. Well I got molded strawberries. Time for a new bakery.
The cakes are delicious, I've never not had a bad cake. For that reason alone they get 5 stars. My mom and I have gotten cakes here for a long time. We also get cakes from places that sell Denise's cakes.
The wait, however, is another story. I've never waited in line so long for just 1 item. I do like their new system. This time I called ahead so I could just pick it up, to save on time, but they said it wasn't possible.
Never been to the bakery. Purchased a small pound cake from Shoprite that they made. OMG...OMG...OMG THAT POUND CAKE! It was expensive..but now I don't care. I will buy it again and plan on visiting the bakery. Try it.
My experience yesterday literally had me in tears. I came to purchase a basic pre made cake and briefly explained what it was for not even expecting them to pay any specific attention to what I was saying, I was kind of rambling actually lol. But they listened to everything I said and realized how sentimental and important to me it was and did a little extra to customize it to what I wanted perfectly. I been coming to Denise’s for years but this specific experience made my heart so full and solidified me as a customer. Oh and the cake was absolutely delicious. Thank you.
My shower was yesterday and the cake was PERFECT!! Looked EXACTLY like the picture I sent and they followed the details also! This was my first time ordering from here & Definitely on point.. it taste even better, The fondant & icing didn't overpower the actual cake,! The price was perfect! I will be back for my sons super hero cake in December
I love the selection here. I don't come here often because I live in Delco but boy do I make excuses to get over here if I am even remotely close. I ordered a graduation cake and just wound up buying donuts and cookies and a cupcake...its a real set-up cause its hard to pick what to buy so you just start blurting out stuff.
Stopped in to pick up a pound cake not knowing they sell donuts. That was one of the best and biggest glaze donut I've ever eaten. Nice assortment of other baked goodies. Forget your diet if you're on one. Indulge yourself!
Always crowded but sooooo worth waiting for. Their new Kiosk system does move the line faster than before. I purchased a half sheet pound cake. Everyone loved my birthday cake! It is one of the true POUND CAKE flavor, taste & density.
Thanks you Denise’s
The strawberry shortcake was delicious. Had to wait for 30 minutes only had 2 staff members working.
Great experience no problem nor complaints., Bake goods are outstanding i.e Homemade Pies and 🍰 as well as 🍩. Coffee and Soft Drinks are available as well. Stop by and fill your sweet tooth And remember good things come for those who wait. Enjoy your sweets …
I guess their pastries are good. But please be prepared to wait a hr for a donut. The line there is ridiculous and the workers move like sloths.. It's nerve wrecking ,but once you get what you came for I guess it's worth the wait
I've had better, I'm giving 3 stars due to waiting -and service being slow. I had the cinnamon bun which was disgusting those chocolate chip cookies are good and so are the cakes.
The coffee rolls are amazing!! The staff moves a little slow but are nice. The pound cake is great also! My God son loved his donut.
I’ve been contemplating making this review for days. It is a tradition in my family to have denise’s at ALL of our family events because it has been in the family for so long, especially being from north Philly and now moving away. First of all, the customer service is terrible now. Yes it is more staff and diversity, but no one communicates. And a few of the women are very impatient. But most importantly, the delicacies are not the same!! I’m not sure if it’s because of covid slowing business but everything was stale(even the kids said it) from the donuts down to the preordered large pound cake!! I am just so appalled after 20+ years of business ...
Every piece of dessert looks amazing. I had a good vibe walking the building. I haven't tried our cake yet but, I know I'm going to enjoy it and can't wait to come back for the donuts.
Love their pound cakes and strawberry shortcakes . Downside is they are very busy and know it and need more people. I stop going because of the wait being way too long and their is always two people at the counter. A place knowing that they are busy like this need at least 4 people working the counter to get the customers in and out .
The baked goods are great, but the service is slow. Several people behind the counter and they still move like they're walking through molasses. They need a better system.
The cakes and baked goods are fabulous and so good. I don't remember what I ordered but I always get the breakfast pastries and the cookies, omg so good and the strawberry short cake my favorite is so good! Everything is good and you will not be disappointed.
I have always loved this bakery, and I noticed the biggest thing PEOPLE had to complain about was the long wait in line. I was thinking, she is one of the few African American businesses who did not do the "mall thanng" I think we should be proud and grateful that a great bakery stayed in the "hood" so that we can also have access to fresh baked goods!!
Been going here for years. Their baked goods are always delicious. Spot on every time.
Well Denise's is one of the oldest black businesses in North Philly and I do see Improvement sent the reopening last year. Her staff customer service is in proving to satisfied customers to make sure they get in and out without hours wait times. They still need improve on a time functionality. Other than that her food and her products are is still delicious and tasty.
I've been ordering my sons's birthday cupcakes for his class and a birthday cake for his party every year since he was about 3 or 4. He's turning 9 next month and we will be ordering again per usual. My son wouldn't have it any other way. Cakes and pastries are delicious and the prices are inexpensive. I recommend this bakery to everyone I know. We love Denise's!!! :-)
The cake was beautiful and delicious. I also noticed they had cheesecake, so I bought one, although it was good, it had a lemony taste that I wasn't too happy with. When I buy plain cheesecake, I want that cheesey flavor, not lemon.
Great clovers (bread). The cakes are “ok”. They’re Strawberry Shortcake is a fraud and recommend you go anywhere else for it. I personally feel the nearby ShopRite’s cakes taste better. Be prepared to wait on line for service, so it’s not the place for you if you don’t have patience. (They never have blueberry muffins when I go).
The workers are slow, the customers are ignorant. The cakes are not what they used to be my pound cake was dry. It was pretty but dry. The wait time was ridiculous. Never again!!! Denise fell off. I'm sorry to say but they did.
Very delicious treats! But I was very upset when I got home yesterday. Your cashier Tangie needs to pay attention to the customer she is dealing with instead of running her mouth to other people while telling her what you want. VERY RUDE! My 2 items was not in my bag when I got home. I was very upset!
Awesome smell coming out of here all the freshly baked pies and cakes cookies donuts pastires omg clean beautiful ladies waiting on your 5 🌟 🤩 ⭐ 🌠 💯 …
Yesterday was my daughters birthday. I was unable to make in into the bakery due to my work hours all wk, however I walked in to attempt to purchase my daughter a cheesecake on a wing and a prayer. Paige a very nice well mannered young lady informed me there was only a small cheesecake left. I love all their cakes but My daughter isn’t a fan of icing. Paige went into the back for a moment and returned with the perfect size cheesecake that was about to be cut into slices by Najah another Denises employee. She gave it Paige to give to me for my daughter after hearing about my dilemma .❤️ I was so happy. These women went above and beyond to ensure above expectation customer service. They could’ve turned me away because the cake was SUPPOSED to be cut into slices instead they both made a 15 yr old very happy to have her favorite cake. I just wanna acknowledge Denises employees for their hard work. This isn’t just a job to them. They care about their customers needs, even the last min folks like myself. The cheesecake was awesome. Thank you Paige and Najah. You ladies are ROCKSTARS!!
I LOVE Denise's!!! You cannot go wrong with anything you buy here. The best bakery in Philly, hands down!!@
All Butter Pound Cakes are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! Every holiday, birthday and special occasion must have a Denise's cake!!
They have great pound cakes a must try!!
Hadn't been there since denise was there now that there's new ownership some things are not the same, bought a pound cake it was a little to dryer than I expected I was kinda disappointed.
Cakes are delicious just was disappointed in the brownies
The absolute best tasting cake I have ever had! You will get addicted!!
I must say that the website doesn't do Denise's any justice. I believe that the world should know about all that is available at the bakery. The pies, the cookies, the cupcakes. I think that if the website was updated, Denise's Bakery will experience a level of success never imagined. The product is excellent, and with sufficient publicity they'll probably be forced to secure additional locations.
I have purchased several cakes from here the last cake was for my 14 yr old daughters Birthday , I never got to taste. Everyone enjoyed it. Moist they said it was good .Thumbs up the only place I get cakes .
Great cakes and pastries. You have to get a slice of pound cake. Moist and tender. Service is friendly and quick. Friday afternoon is not a great time to go. There is always a line of customers outside the door.
Always love the pound cake. Was first time being there. Service was a little slow. Suggest they put a larger sign on the "take a number "kiosk. Donuts are huge and delicious.
I've been coming to Denise's for 4 decades. I have since moved from the neighborhood, but continues to travel to 22nd & Cambria to get my sweet treats 🥰 I believe it's the oldest establishment on the block. …
The young lady that waited on me was very pleasant and accommodating. She help with my picture for the cake as I did not know how a picture of my daughter's graduation cap would go on the cake. Great place
I haven't been here in years, liked the updated lighting and location renovation. Cake was still good but service poor, long lines and inefficient service. It's a Philly staple but I'm next time will use an Uptown bakery.
Denise's is the best neighborhood bakery.
Her patrons are often lined up placing orders and picking up orders. Her staff is very personable and professional.
Good pastries but slow slow slow slow slow you can even hear others workers in the back but no one extra comes to assist
A community institution and one of the few African American full bakeries in the city. Very small and be prepared to wait in line for those delicious cakes, cookies, pies, pastries, donuts, cupcakes and custom cakes.
Friendly service but the prices are kinda high but I will still go.back to purchase everything I had was delicious and blk owned
I love this place! Great values and fresh everything 👌 You won't be disappointeded …
They are the best. The staff are personable and pleasant. I drove across State lines to get there and I will return.
Mt. Man
I love going here but the 1 customer at a time and really long lines is frustrating. I was just there and there was a long line outside while 4 workers were helping a person order a cake.
I remember when I lived in Philly with my Parents...my brother and I would go there almost daily back when Denise first opened her bakery! :)
Gosh!! Her hugh cupcakes back then were the bomb!!! Wish I could there now, but i don't live in Philly anymore. :(
Beautiful Every Time❣
Love this Bakery! This is a gem and cornerstone on 22nd St. in North Philadelphia. I am so very happy that the owner stayed and rebuilt after the fire! I will be a customer for LIFE!
Best Bakery in the city. I just need y'all ladies to put some pep in y'all step. I should not have to wait 40mins to an hour for cup cakes. I saw people get outa line in all. Cake so good I'll wait but everyone doesn't have the time
One of my favorite Bakeries in the city. The service isn't too great,but the cakes are worth the trip.
Calories haven🔥🔥🔥💥 fresh baked goods, large size and unbelievably low price for what you get! There's a party in my tummy so yummy …
Cupcakes and Iced pound cakes are my favorite! Staff is super friendly! Clean and Covid friendly!
A baking staple in North Philly, Denise's Delicacies will entice you if you are on a diet and satisfy your sweet tooth if you love donuts, cookies and cupcakes. You know the best things in life.
Tangie took my order and she was not on patient but had a pleasant demeanor as my coworker and I oohed and aaahed over the various selections.
I fi ally set my eyes on some cupcakes, cookies and a glazed pretzel twist donut. So much for the diet I was on. Make sure you stop by Denise's.
My daughter's 18th Bday cake was beautiful!! Thank you 😊 …
The best pound cake in the city
Live and local. Very good homemade donuts and pastries. Sticky buns are their best product. You'd better come early or you're out of luck.
Whow! That was an experience!
I never k ew people waited in lines for hours and get a ticket to get cake, n pies! Go figure! However the service was great after i waited for hours to pi k up an order that i place over the phone.
Delicious, and the store is always clean.
The Pastries Are Tasty, However, Always Be Prepared To Wait... Also, Some Of The Older Cashier's Aren't That Friendly, Including The Owner And Her Spouse...
The finest black owned and operated bakery in Philadelphia in my opinion! Everything they carry is made with unbelievable care. A very under appreciated Philadelphia landmark.
There delicacies are soo super delicious but your gonna have to pay with patience and God's good grace. Parking is a challenge as 22nd St is always riddled with traffic as well as the space of the store.The ticketing system DOESN'T CUT TIME for a quick shopping trip..so you'd better have at least 15mins to spare at a minimum if there are over two ppl ahead of you....Gruelling-est Line Ever however I Am Never disappointed in their product, their name Still brings smiles and cheers of joy to all near & far 😋
Yoooooooooooooooo! Fresh everything in there, smell like I might spend toooooo much money in there if you into sweets
Been getting cakes from here for my daughter, but never got myself. Finally Got my birthday cake in December and I couldn't stop eating it, the cakes are absolutely delicious.
The pound cake is awesome!! Sometimes you wait in line forever and they dont have what you want. There is an older man that works my nerves always saying dont lean on the wall. The place is so small and crowded you cant help it.
Delicious Bakery, I haven't had anything from them that I didn't like thus far. Only downside is the wait, be prepaired to stand in line for a while. I suggest trying the crumb cake.
I love everything i have purchased here, and for my son 5th birthday i had one of there birthday cakes and the family debating over who would get the last few slices of cake. Lol very very good cakes.
This place has never disappointed me. Always clean, workers are always professional and desserts are delicious 😋 …
This place is a staple in the community! And if you try there cakes you'll understand why! Staff always friendly and place is always clean and organized despite having long lines at times.
If in need of some sweets you have to check them out! You won't be disappointed their sweets are on point, helpful staff and great prices. If you're still reading check out my instagram @montemurph_ drop a comment!!
This cake is simply beautiful 😍 …
Wonderful service with a smile its a bit small but what they lack in store front space they make up in there cakes there is sometimes a wait but if you order ahead it will be absolutely miniscule.
Denise's have very good big Goods delicious cakes and they also had diabetic cakes with no sugar you cannot tell the difference is no sugar in it is very good
Their pound cakes use to be the.bomb
Recently.I brought a slice of pound cake and the taste wasn't the same seems of though they changed the the ingredients
So you can order online! Best addition to the bakery ever!!!
Awesome! 1st visit since the store re-opened. Such a variety of fresh baked goods I forgot what I was supposed to get. Got a little bit of everything and was satisfied.
Denise Gause, owner. After a fire closed her 25-year-old North Philly homage to sugar, eggs and flour, she did what any strong baker would do: She rebuilt it. Today, lines once again form out the door and the phone rings off the hook for Denise’s pound cake, pies, brownies, doughnuts, cookies and wedding cakes - PhillyBite Magazine
De Best Bake Shop ever, I have always bought both of my kids cakes from here and continue to do so....When quality is always delivered why go any where else...
Crowded. Lots of people ordering all kinds of pastries. Denise's is a great bakery.
I love Denise's bakery but however during this pandemic the service is horrible wait time horrible, you would think that they would have more staff to get you in & out well nope you have to wait outside & its a long wait
Everything is always fresh. Definitely worth the wait in the morning.
You have to remember it's a small spot but Great sweets be willing to wait outside #cov19
Great selection of cakes, pies, cookies, donuts and danishes...staff wasn't friendly but they were polite..I always loved Denise's butter pound cake so I bought butter pound cake, and cookies..
By far the absolute BEST bakery I've ever seen. Everything I've had here is delicious. Best pound cake on earth!
Definitely helped me out of a bind after my baking attempt failed. Within 20 mins I had a beautiful personalized birthday cake for my niece.
Denise's is always a gem. Have been getting my birthday cakes from here since I was a baby. It's a tradition.
Great pastry love the food would have given five stars but every time I go there half to wait a while to get my treats...
I havent been there since it reopened. It is MY FAVORITE bakery. I can close my eyes and do a taste test and pick their cake out everytime.
I have been getting cakes from here for years. You can always depend on good service as well as great tasting baked goods.
Wonderful cakes, etc. Everything is excellent!
I had to wait about a half an hour for something I brought and paid for early in the the week. But it was worthwhile my strawberry shortcake was supreme.
I love Denise's delicacies! ! I will drive out of my way for the delicious cakes, cookies, donuts and danishes and also the sweet potato pies !!
Beautiful cake they made and delicious thank you and your staff
The best bakery in the city!! Every time I go there Is a line out the door. I highly recommend Denise's Delicacies
I have never been in Denise's before, but the cinnamon buns were very tasty and I will go back.
Stiil my favorite place to go to get a real doughnut !😁Oh, can't leave without the pound cake. Stop in and treat your taste buds. …
Pastries are Always fresh. They are kind and I love to go for birthday treats. Definitely recommend this place for others
Service is horrible. Staff is rude I wonder if they are capable of smiling. But the food is amazing. Always fresh and delicious. Will go back everytime.

One of my favorite place to go for carrot cake. The should do frequent eaters cards for the customers..show some appreciation to the loyal customers!
Very yummy cakes but don't get a decorated cake from here. Decorating is what cripples their business😩 My baby shower cake was horrible looking …
Denise's has been a part of our family since our wedding cake in 1992
Fabulous baking and great customer service
i didnt think they would b able to get the job done on such short notice but she did and the staff is super sweet
I've been going here for years and I have never been disappointed... The sweet potato pies and the pound cakes are delicious!!

Great bakery...put take your patience pill before you go...always a line but well worth the trip...

I have been coming here since I was little. I love it and I will always love it. Great desserts and customer service
Everything I went in the bakery the staff have really been pleasant. Let not forget the cakes are the best in town.
From the danish to the cakes to the peach cobbler & cookies EVERYTHING is so Fresh & so Damn Good, THAT'S why the line is SO long BUT definately worth the wait

The wait was long. My cake wasn't ready and it don't have silver leaves like the the person said on the phone.
The best place to get any baked good!! When you go tell them Please and thank you sent you. Go earlier so you can see and tastethe variety
There bake goods are to die for but it's small and they have a lot of customers and you will have to wait for about forty five minutes except if you are picking up they also have a system where each category has a number and they call your number for each one.
I love their cake they very delicious desserts that are sweet potato pie is to die for their pound cake is so good.
Always great cake. They were very quick with service during this pandemic

Went here for my birthday cake and my cake was nothing I asked for i was so disappointed for my birthday even started arguing with me like I was wrong
One of the best bakeries in the City. Worth the wait whether for sticky buns and donuts or a special occasion cake
The delicacies are amazing! The system isn't so great. A better system would lead to more efficiency with moving customers out.
The Pound Cake with Butter cream cheese icing is to die for! And I really don't eat sweets, but when I have the crave, this is my satisfaction!
This place has the best desserts no question but always crowded so be prepared to wait.
