Machine Shop Bakery was an absolute dream and one of the standout stops of our Philadelphia trip.
I had read about this place ahead of time, but walking in exceeded every expectation. Everyone working there was incredibly hospitable, and the overall vibe was just so good. I’m a culinary teacher in the Boston area, specifically baking and pastry, and I completely nerded out being here. These pastries are truly on par with some of the French pastry I’ve had in Paris — no exaggeration.
You can immediately tell how high-quality everything is, from the ingredients to the execution to the way the space is set up. The bakery is housed in a renovated vocational school, and the creative use of the space just adds to the experience. It feels thoughtful, intentional, and really special.
We chatted with a couple people in line who live in Philly and said they come here regularly, which says everything — this is clearly a beloved local spot.
And the pastries… wow. The orange cardamom morning bun was outstanding, the mushroom Danish was incredible, the focaccia was perfect, and the coffee cake and pecan roll were both delicious. We stopped here before a full day of walking, and it fueled us up in the best possible way while adding such a memorable moment to our trip.
If you care about pastry, quality, or just an exceptional bakery experience, Machine Shop Bakery is an absolute must. I could have happily stood there all morning just admiring (and eating) everything.

love their pastries! savory, sweet they have it all!
food: always love their kouign-amann flaky goodness. their seasonal pastries are always fun to try. I have not gotten a loaf from here but I plan to do so soon
it’s nice to pop in here for a pastry and next door for a drink!
ambiance: seating is tough but bok bar lets you spread out
service: always greeted by the same guy and know I will be treated to a treat after I order

Today’s seasonal selection featured a mushroom danish and a goat cheese everything croissant—both quietly spectacular. Each pastry delivered deep, earthy flavors paired with a texture that felt deliberate and rare, the kind that only comes from hands that truly understand dough. Flaky without being fragile, rich without tipping into heaviness, these bakes tasted less like trendy offerings and more like the work of the last true breadsmiths keeping their craft alive.

Machine Shop has a very chill, cozy bakery vibe-perfect for grabbing a bite and relaxing on a Sunday morning or a rainy day.
The pastries and croissants are genuinely tasty and well-made.
The only downside for me is the pricing; spending $25–$30 for just a few pastries doesn’t feel great. If it were a bit more affordable, I’d come more often.
Still, it’s definitely worth trying, and I’d recommend stopping in at least once.

This bakery is a true gem! The pastries are absolutely fantastic and clearly made with traditional French techniques. Every bite of the croissant was flaky and buttery, and all their pastries were delicate and flavorful. It’s like a trip to Paris without leaving town. The quality and authenticity are unmatched. Highly recommend!

Every bakery piece is perfect and creative, no where else to be found. Nice vibe.
Updates: I visited back with high expectations. But they disappointed me. Bakeries become mediocre. I asked for a bag to bag one bakery leftover. The staff was very specific on what the bakery is to decide whether it should be a box or a bag. I don’t care, I just want to have something to take that thing to go.
I don’t know how they charge that expensive price but still being so disappointing.

Some of the best pastries I’ve had. I feel like I am having an addiction to the bake goods there ever since my first visit to the Machine Shop. Absolutely love their rhubarb danish, tarts, savory pastries, loaf or anything I’ve tried. A must visit.

Super cool, Philly bakery with utilitarian vibes and excellent pastries. Located inside an abandoned school with repurposed spaces for artists and fooderies, a welcome addition to the South Philly area. Parking is tricky. We tried the Jammy Egg pastry, which was very spicy but unique and quite good. We also tried the almond tart, which was excellent. Beware that on weekends the line for food is very long as is the coffee line (two separate lines). We will return, but on a day when it’s less busy, apparently that’s Wednesdays.

I am sure everything is good here, but everything croissant with goat cheese was the GOAT. Maybe because I personally love goat cheese but overall, unique variations of everything. 150% understood why this place is considered the BEST in town.

MACHINE SHOP! Thank you!
Visiting on a day trip with this lovely place in mind!
First, vibes are quaint and cute! It is in the BOK building that is home to many cute shops.
Second, pastries! OH MY GLOB!
The choices are everything my heart needed (I am a pastry chef and love to see what others are creating!)
I snagged the tomato danish and a stone fruit danish (because I am a in season girlie!). The flaky pastry on both was incredible! The cream in the stone danish was a kiss of joy! I ate them both at the shop!
Third, I had to leave with something, cause duh! The blueberry tart, also with cream that, again, kiss of joy! There was blueberry jam at the tarts bottom that just rounded out my whole experience!
Tots coming back when I am in town! Thanks to the lovely homie in front of house that guided me! And the lovely team overall for the work you do!
