Four Worlds Bakery

Ran into this online by chance and then was excited to go. I see this bakery is a fave for some local vegans as they have a reasonable amount for that crowd, and why some other locals come here too. I have now been to Mighty, DeadKing, Merzbachers, Artisan, High Fidelity, probably others, and here and this one is the winner for me . The clear assortment of vegan versus non-vegan and a nice array of flavorful and standard but quality wheat foods makes this bakery an overall winner for me. Besides GF options, this place could use a cafe too, I agree. Some of the other places mentioned do have cafes and Mighty would be the winner in that category. Because all these brands are prominent in their own way and because Philadelphia is a big area, they are all here to stay! Enjoy the quality of bakery that we have in our various Philadelphia enclaves and neighborhoods.

Fantastic little West Philly gem. I pass it on the way to work every day and stopped in today. Very knowledgeable young woman working the counter and described all of the available goodies to me. Ended up with chocolate raspberry croissant & pistachio cream croissant. Holy moly this

Small local bakery worth the visit! Tons of pastry options and bread options too! FYI they only have regular drip coffee and everything is To Go, but the prices are fair and the treats are just that.. along with being fresh, fluffy, and yummy!

One of my favoritest local bakeries in Philly. Everyone is so kind and the baked goods are fantastic. My favorites are the sourdough pretzel (I slice it in half and put shmear in between like a bagel), the apple turnover (not too sweet and full of apples and cinnamon), and all of the croissants. They also sell Al Fournil, of which I believe the beignets and peach danishes are the best. I no longer live in the neighborhood but I make occasional trips back. Last time I scored a bunch of seasonal goodies like the raspberry chocolate croissant and lemon croissant. I have yet to try their delivery service, they have a cargo bike!

I called in ahead of time to order some sourdough baguettes for a meeting.Walked into the door and was just brushed over the nose with the fresh smell of bread. I really love how each baguette was single wrapped without me even asking. I selfishly wish this place expanded into a cafe so I can sit here for an hour while getting some work done, and smell bread all day lol

Four Worlds Bakery has consistently offered great bread options for many years now. I love how crunchy the bagels are on the outside and soft texture inside. They are made fresh daily with sourdough. I usually buy plain and sesame. They accidentally gave me everything bagels this time although my receipt says I should have received sesame. Thankfully I like the everything bagels too. Currently, the price for one bagels is $1.45.They also have a great selection of breads. I usually get the pre sliced option. The flavors I've tried so far are Olive Rosemary Levain, Classic Pan Levain and Rye. All options taste great.

My favorite bakery in West Philly. I usually order in advance for pick up/delivery the following morning so you have a higher chance to get everything you want! They sell out fast. I like the olive rosemary bread and a dozen everything/sesame bagels.

Heaven in carb form! Finding FWB will likely not be good for my diet, but so very good for my soul. The Croissants are out of this world: buttery,flakey and not overly sweet. The raisin option is something special and unexpected. Imagine a Cinnabon and a raisin had a baby, born in France. #YUMCan't wait to try more, specifically the bagels! I'm also a fan of the online ordering system. Avoid the in person disappoint and check out their real time inventory on their website. "Know before you go"! And if you're lucky enough to live in an area where they deliver too, then even better! Spending the $15 minimum to cover the delivery should be easy peasy with their vast selection of baked goods.

A week later, I'm still thinking of those yummy raisin croissant bun rolls a friend brought to brunch. They were perfect. There are some things you just can't get over -- FWB will be on my visit list every time I come to Philly!

Yes! Bread and bagels are amazing. Wish they had more vegan selections when it came to sweets though.
