2106 Fairmount Ave
Philadelphia, PA 19130

South Street Philly Bagels
Neighborhood: South Street District, Queen Village

613 S 3rd St
Philadelphia, PA 19147

Wallspro S. writes: Great selection of bagels, the staff is efficient and courteous and the cream cheese selection is good. The only reason they don't get a full 5 star review is probably a little beyond their control.

This place can get really hot and on some mornings,…

Center City Pretzel Co Inc
Neighborhood: Bella Vista

816 Washington Ave
Philadelphia, PA 19147

7132 Ridge Avenue
Philadelphia, PA 19128

Sassafras Market

163 N 3rd St
Philadelphia, PA 19106

eric f. writes: Mulberry but with fresher produce.

I don't recommend doing all of your food shopping here (a big basket of stuff can easily run $90) but it's great if you live in Old City and you're in need of fresh produce, deli meat, eggs, or milk.

They also have…

Wegman's

2100 Rte 70 W
Cherry Hill, NJ 08002

Marcello D. writes: I used to love Good Eats. Whenever Alton would go grocery shopping, the employees at the Whole Foods store were always super friendly and the butchers would bend over backwards for him. On top of that, he never had any trouble finding any item in the…

Termini Brothers Bakery

1523 S 8th St
Philadelphia, PA 19147

Tara H. writes: It's places like this that make Philly what it is. This is why we all love this town. Termini's is authentic, un-fucked-with, and honest.

I inquire, "Do you have Slenderita?"

Counterperson with a WTF?! look in her eyes responds, "Slenda-WHAT?"

KC's Pastries Inc

145 N 11th St
Philadelphia, PA 19107

Jacquelin K. writes: On a hot summer day, nothing hits the spot like a bubble tea from KC's. I like it plain--black tea with milk, sugar, tapioca, and ice. Simple, tasty, and cheap. Plus you get a cute cup with sea creatures on it instructing you to have good life, or…
