Philly Bread

What a delicious treat! These muffins with butter and strawberry jelly, are out of sight! Picked them up at Weaver’s way in Chestnut Hill. You got to eat them fast because there are no preservatives, but that shouldn’t be a problem. Can’t wait to try the cinnamon raisin varity, keep up the good work.

Warmly toasted and eaten on its own, the Philly muffin is simple and satisfying bread.

Finally! Philadelphia now has a sourdough bread worthy of the name. If you haven’t placed your order yet, what are you waiting for?

If you are going to carb-​load, you might as well enjoy the shit out of what you are eating. This bread is delicious… NOM.

Finally what Philly has lacked for so long, fresh nourishing bread made here in our city! Selections spread from whole wheat boule’s to white «wonder-​style» sandwich loaves, a ‘Philly’ Muffin (think English muffin) and truly the best bagels I have ever had, not to mention a fantastic baguette. It is evident the tender loving care that goes into each loaf.

Same comment as Karen F. The philly muffins and sweet onion focaccia are out of this world. Looking forward to trying the bagels at some point!

We get loaves of sourdough through our company’s CSA through Philly bread — big, perfect loaves that smeel and taste so good. Eat them when they’re fresh.
Carb-​a-​licious!

Awesome fresh sourdough bread. Need I say more???
No bread maker in Philadelphia can touch the quality, heart and soul put into the array of breads Philly Bread has to offer.
Truly excellent bread.

There’s nothing quite like this in Philadelphia.
Who know sourdough could taste this amazing.
I was a believer when I took my first bite out of Philly Bread’s baguette. In general, the baguette is humble and simple. There are no extra flavors to hide imperfections in texture, so for me this is a true test to determine if a bread is remarkable or just run of the mill. The baguette from Philly Bread has a crunchy crust that crackles as you break into it. The inside is light and airy. The shape is unfussy and rustic. The sourdough favor comes through ever so slightly so the bread still feels substantial and satisfying. Try having this warm and fresh out the oven– you too will fall in love with Philly Bread.
Also notable are the bagels. They have a great texture and shape, taste delicious both fresh and toasted, and also freeze really well. The seasoning for the Everything Bagel is spot on and you can actually smell the garlic, showing how fresh and high quality all the ingredients are.
Lastly, Pete, the brains and soul behind Philly Bread is truly a creative genius. He takes the time to understand the chemical process behind the fermentation and baking and is happy to share his knowledge. It’s clear that he loves what he does and if eating Philly Bread means supporting his endeavors then friends, let’s engage in guilt-​free carbo loading.

This aspiring new baker has really hit the mark and is bound to take Philly by storm. The taste speaks for itself. On the first bite and after trying every variety of bread offered, I could tell that FLAVOR RULES at Philly Bread. The bagels are real boiled bagels and are just the right texture — not to mention SOOO delicious. Philly muffins can’t be beat — sourdough English muffin in a Philly-​style square! The boules rule. And the sandwich loaf is a slightly sour version of Wonderbread, except the flavor’s been perfected with the fermented dough. I made the best grilled cheese and french toast ever with the sandwich loaf. It’s really astounding how much flavor simple bread can have! Beyond flavor, if you talk to the baker (a young man named Pete) and you understand quickly there’s a lot more to this operation, which uses wild yeast cultivated sourdough, features local ingredients, and locates itself within a movement for local, sustainable economic transformation.
