If you don't know Stocks you should. Everyone here knows Stocks. It is a bakery legend in here in Philly. It should be on any and every Philly food tour. Recently Kylie Kelcie talked about how serious cake is to her, and shes a Stocks girl too! They are known for the most amazing pound cake. It seriously tastes better than any other pound cake you have ever had, I promise. I've been a Stock's fan forever but ive never been to their legendry bakery, until today! It lived up to the hype! We pre-ordered their famous Easter Egg pound cake! They are so gorgous and still only $15! Their regular pound cakes are sold in bricks weighed by the pound. Also when you buy a brick it's wrapped in celphane paper ready to freeze but they cover each brick with butcher paper too which is something I did not know. Bricks come plain or Iced. There are chocolate and vanilla Icing options. I tried to see If there was a menu with all the cake options but I didnt see one on their website or in store. Navigating the website was very difficult. I hope they fix that because websites are helpful. We got there at 3:00 and the bakery was sold out of all bread and most of the pastries. We were able to get some cookies that were amazing. We got sprinkle cookies and jelly. I expected them to taste the same, but the dont. They are two totally different cookies. Both are equally as good. The sprinkle cookie tastes more like butter cookie. Highly recommend trying them both if you can. Cookies are $10 a pound which was 26 cookies. Other cookie spots In the city operate at a much higher price point. I appreciate how budget friendly all the pricing was to kero their food accessible to everyone. Also, I did not know that you can do fund raisers with the bakery. They even have a fundraiser coordinator. Im Interested to see how this works because I raise funds for 2 organizations.

Great pound cake. Interesting neighbor- bring cash. Best of Philly. Sold by the pound not by the loaf. Old world craftsmanship.

Perfect old school bakery and reasonably priced. Come for the poundcake, leave with the entire bakery(just bring cash).

Stocks is the best neighborhood bakery! It has the old school vibe. The staff are helpful and nice. The pound cake is famous throughout the Philly area. If your family is from the Riverwards, this cake is at every party! It is delicious. While pound cake may be their claim to fame, the molasses cookies are a special fall treat. At $10/lb it is a good deal! The lemon meringue pie is also delicious with a creamy lemon filling. The meringue to lemon filling ratio is perfect! So go for the pound cake but check out the other goodies too!

I will never not sing the praises of Stocks Bakery. I genuinely don't know how they make such delicious poundcakes, and the icing ties it all together. We never miss the opportunity to go get several of their poundcakes and give them away as Christmas presents to family and friends during the holidays. I also recently found out they do wedding cakes! So if that day ever comes for me, I know who I'm getting my cake from haha! If you're visiting the Philly area, or if you're from here and haven't tried Stocks... What in the world are you doing?! This is a must try bakery, and you will certainly not regret it. Definitely should be added to any foodie wish list.

Dealt with them for years thank goodness you can get pound cakes in Jersey since I can't get to Philly - usually send four to family in Georgie for holidays - best poundcake ever

For me, my history with stock goes back 15-20 years. I found out because we have a family friend who is part of the stocks family. She and my wife taught together, that's how I learned about THE POUND cake. It's rich it's flavorful. It goes good with everything except maybe hot sauce. We used to drive down to pick it up at the bakery, which was always crowded. It still is. The reason there are not five stars on this review is due to the horrible parking. It's just a very congested area so be prepared, but it is worth it by all means and now I look forward through other retailers that brought on their product, even though are hard to find if you can enjoy whether it's the classic pound cake or the marble poundcake Equally delicious definitely worth any kind of wait!!

They truly do not make bakeries like this anymore. This is true philly staple. Cash only. Staff is super sweet and welcoming. Walking through the door is pure heaven. You cannot stop by without picking up a pound cake. Also obsessed with their jelly shortbread cookies. Perfect treat for anyone. Cakes are also phenomenal:)

This place is nothing fancy on the outside but when you walk in the smell is intoxicating. So much to choose from. We chose a couple of apple danishes for breakfast. The powder sugar coating would be mine. Love the taste of not being over sweet. I'm from the south where everything is over sweet. . We were told they are known for their pound cake. To buy it by the slice you can go next door at the deli & buy it. So we did. It was buttery & moist. So good! They also had cakes and pies for sell that looked delicious too. Swing by and enjoy something delicious You will not be disappointed.

Stock's Bakery is a family tradition, a legendary Port Richmond neighborhood bakery that has earned a place in pound cake history. Founded in 1924 by Josef Stock, the bakery spans 5 generations of family, quite an achievement. They began selling pound cake around 1945, a dessert traditionally made at home. I'm so glad they did! The joint is small, clean, and homey. The staff members are attentive and when busy they really hustle, forming six lines to serve you. Be sure to tip the workers. At the holidays, I suggest calling in your order so you don't miss out when the pound cakes sell out. And, they do! Only during the holidays they make anise-flavored German Springerlie cookies, which have a design pressed into them. They are hard cookies/biscuits that require coffee or hot tea to soften. Mmmmm they are so good. Order those ahead, too. Bring cash to buy a "vanilla bar", which is pound cake with vanilla icing. You can try marble or chocolate icing but, why? The vanilla bar is pure perfection. Weighing in at much more than a pound, you're likely to pay around $15 for the 2.5 lb vanilla bar. It'll be the best $15 you've ever spent. They are often packed, standing room only but, they are well-staffed and run several lines to serve you quickly. I can't imagine how many vanilla bars XXX Quickly, yes. That's how fast a vanilla bar disappears in my house. This trip, I bought sone for friends and 2 for my family. They freeze well. I cut them in half before freezing and defrost 1/2 at a time in the refrigerator. You can elevate and commemorate your next family or business event by special ordering a large pound cake - baptisms, weddings, birthdays, holiday parties... your guests will thank you. YES, I'll be back to the Port Richmond location! I love everything about the original spot - despite the drive, the toll, the parking For those in PA and NJ, there are many restaurants that act as retailers across several PA counties and as far as Wildwood.
