Haegeles Bakery

Ran in to get a few treats for the family. Their donuts are real good, cream & jelly too. They are made smaller now, and the price is up to $1.25 apiece. I also got a 1/4 cheesecake too. First time trying it there. It was good, we all shared it after dinner. It had a lot of cherries on the bottom though, instead of less cherries, more cheesecake on top. It was like eating a cherry pie with a little cheese topping. Should revamp that recipe to make it more cheesecake, less cherries... I will return though..

I grew up smelling the baking from here. Despite being away for 46 years I still dream of their pastries. Sticky buns , jelly tarts, butter cakes, etc. I try to stop by whenever I'm in philly. Nothing compares to their flavor. God, I miss living near this bakery

It was my first time at Haegle's and I was having a day! I got lost getting there, my son ran into the street without looking and almost got hit by a car, and then we had a power struggle over cupcakes.
When we finally made our decision, we found out it was cash only...they were so nice!
They fronted the cookies and Buttercake w a handwritten IOU.
Who DOES that anymore?
It reminded me of my hometown in the Midwest.
The service was great, the Buttercake was AMAZING!
I was tempted to buy another when I returned with cash to pay my debt ...but you know ...girly figure and all that fun stuff

My husband wanted a Yule Log Cake for Christmas Dinner and Haegele's was recommended. Fantastic cake and friendly shop Yeah will be back

It was an ok place. I found some of the pastries on the dry side. I did enjoy the cake called the bienenstich or butter cake. Its a yellow cake filled with vanilla cream and the top is covered with almonds drizzled with honey.

Ordered an orange pound birthday cake early August, it was delicious but, when we picked it up, we also bought 2 jelly donuts that had hardly any jelly in them!!!! We ordered another orange birthday cake and picked it up today, it was NOT fresh like the one last month. Also bought a few slices of extremely dry Washington cake, we threw them out! The butter cookies were good. I'm writing this bakery off, they're expensive anyway. I don't mind paying for quality!

They our outstanding! Their baked goods are really. In fact I people who drive 15 miles to buy their rolls and pastries. The people who work there are always fast, accurate and very nice.

Super kind and helpful. The strawberry shortcake was a slice of HEAVEN. I'm not a cake person, but I couldn't get enough of it. And neither could my 1 year old. She ate the entire piece and licked the plate clean. Thank you!!

We ordered the Black Forest cake for a birthday. It was amazing. So fluffy and not overly sweet. The cream used was light and unlike the normal cake frosting, this was light, airy and much less sweet than frosting. Service is impeccable. I unfortunately don’t even the name of the super nice lady that served me, but thank you!
Will come back to try their other pastries. Oh, cash only

My King Deno absolutely loves it here because for his birthday one year many years ago I went in and goth a strawberry shortcake for his birthday cake and it was reasonably priced and he was just absolutely thrilled with the deliciousness and freshness of this cake and now I go every year

Not to sweet, which my family prefers. They loved it! It was first eaten alone, but vanilla ice cream complemented it very well! It was a little messy slicing it, especially the next day, but my young sons didn't mind. I've never heard of this bakery before, but based on the Peach Crumble, we can recommend. Without question.

I’ve lived in Mayfair since 2006 and yesterday as the first time I tried this bakery. The French jelly twists were delicious!!!! The cupcakes were just OK but the hazelnut torte was really tasty! Cream donuts were good but not as good as Holmesburg Bakery’s cream donuts! The staff is very nice!

We stopped by here because I've been craving for a fastnacht styled donut. My coworker brought the fastnacht donuts in previous years, and it was so delicious and fluffy and satisfying! Though it's not Far Tuesday yet, I went in hoping that they have something similar. The bakery is on a corner in a residential area. We went on Friday afternoon and saw plenty of street parking. We went in and the lady greeted us immediately. I asked about the donut and she suggested their jelly donuts and cream donuts would be the closest to the fastnacht. I also saw what seemed to be chocolate glazed donut. She

Old (since 1930), clean, authentic bakery that puts your orders inside of a classic, white, sturdy paper box, and then they securewith string fed from a hanging steel canister. Excellent butter cake, Washington cake, etc.

From cakes to donuts to luv bugs to fastnacht....this is the place to go! There isn't a bad thing here! Every item is made with love and old world traditions. You cant find a better bakery in the northeast. Of you havent been, you really need to go

I didn't visit the store but was given several donuts on Shrove Tuesday. These donuts are also known as fasnachts. The donuts are yeast donuts made with potato flour. They are not particularly sweet and were dusted with cinnamon sugar. They were tasty but not enough for me to line up before dawn to get them as was seen on the news.

Great spot. Great family tradition. Great grub. Great service. And don't forget there's free donut day.

I discovered this place about 2 years ago and was surprised at how great they are. With so many old time bakeries closing in the city, glad to see this one is still around. A traditional German bakery, their pastries are excellent, and the vanilla creme donuts are crazy good. They also do great seasonal desserts throughout the year. I always try to stop by when in the area for some great desserts, Prost!

This bakery has been operated at the same location, by the same family since 1930. This alone should tell you how attentive and wonderful the family is who runs this establishment. My family has been going here since the 1950's. Now I take my children here. Try the fruit pies!!! By far their best item, the jelly sticks. If you want to try some superb German Pastries, then this is place is a MUST!!!

Diamond in the rough. I was told it is a family owned business of four generations. So many different choices pleasing to the eye. The pastries are out of this world and the prices are cheaper than a grocery store. Very clean and well-kept bakery.

I got my daughters graduation cake here this weekend. When I ordered the cake the girl was very nice and helpful. When I picked it up the girl at the counter was not very friendly. However the cake did look nice, I feel they did a good job on the decorating of it. I got a chocolate chip poundcake with buttercream frosting. The cake was very dry and disappointing. Some of the guests said it was the worst cake they had ever had. I would Definitely not order another pound cake from here.

You can't go wrong here. The Bienenstich is one of my favorite things ever as are the donuts. Everyone is helpful and all of the baked goods are delicious. Everything is reasonably priced. One trip and you'll be hooked.

Best brownies EVER.
I've been eating desserts from Haegeles ever since my stepmother moved to the Mayfair area about 24 years ago. The quality and taste have not changed. Their pina colada pie and chocolate chip cookies are other favorites in my family.
A great, reliable, family-owned bakery.

My grandmother use to take my sister and I here when we were young. We always would get the "smiley face" cookies. Since then, I have loved this bakery! Nothing compares! My mom loves their doughnuts, my hhsband loves their brownies. The Washington cake, chocolate logs, blueberry cupcakes, apple cake are all amazing! I love the pretzels they sell for New Years as well. They made my wedding cake. It was chocolate chip with buttercream. It was beautiful and delicious!

This was my first time stopping in after living in the area for nearly 20yrs. Don't let the small bakery fool you. This place packs big flavor. It has everything from cookies and donuts to strudels and cakes. I decided to go with a Philadelphia tradition and try the butter cake. One bite and I was hooked. It was fresh, rich and creamy. Hands down one of the best butter cakes I've ever tried. I'll be back!

Best butter cake ever! Bought one for the girls at work one day then for the next two days I had co workers asking where it was located. Butter cake from here is my guilty pleasure! I used to buy it as a teenager with my allowance!
