Four Worlds Bakery Philadelphia

Love this place and this morning my partner surprised me with my favorites so I thought I’d share the joy: plain bagel— I usually go for a flavor but here the original plain is the best in my opinion, always fresh and a good chew to it, good crisp bake on outside, good with cream cheese, better with butter! And my fav of all time: the vanilla cream beignet, the pastry cream inside is sooo good, real vanilla bean flecks, crispy fry outside fluffy dough, so good!!

Four Worlds Bakery is a *FANTASTIC* bakery with some of the best pastries and breads in the city. Go there and try everything, they need and deserve our support! LONG STORY: I have been going to Four Worlds Bakery for years and have always been amazed at the incredible variety and magical deliciousness of their croissants and pastries in particular. In this picture alone you have the following croissants: chocolate almond (one of the best things I've ever eaten), raisin, apricot brie, lemon curd, spinach ricotta, and goat cheese, and I barely scratched the surface of what they offer. Also pictured are a whole wheat sourdough bread and a Carrot Cake Man carrot cake. Consider this your reminder to go there, and for the many people new to the neighborhood who haven't yet tried it. It's honestly one of the best bakeries in the city; on the quality alone it deserves our patronage and support. But beyond that, the owner is such a kind, generous, wonderful contributor to good in our community. Just a few highlights: - FWB donates tons to organizations that do great work like Food Not Bombs - During the pandemic FWB began offering other bakeries' items for sale, to support their survival during the hardest times for everyone - FWB donated part of its profits to support Lee's Deli's recovery - offered a place for Carrot Cake Man to sell his best-in-the-MF-world carrot cakes (!) when Lee's closed - donated big boxes of baked goods to hospital staff working the front lines during the pandemic Please, please flood them with business! Get your job to order a big box of happiness for staff! You won't be disappointed, I promise.
