    I’ve been hype about The Bread Room by High Street since they announced it, and I happened to be downtown the day they soft launched. The smell in this shop is outrageous, full of freshly baked bread and pastries and coffee. I literally was in awe over the amount of pastries and I wish I could’ve gotten one of everything. There was also so much bread available to buy - one would hope, right? I got the iconic Rye Chocolate Chip and a Chive Biscuit - and both were phenomenal. I’ll definitely be back for more! This spot has some seating so come early, grab breakfast or lunch, and a fresh pastry for dessert, & be sure to tell ‘em PFAB sent ya! 📍834 Chestnut Street Philadelphia PA 19107📍

    Fabulous experience at The Bread Room! I recently took a workshop here and absolutely loved it. Instructor Kyle, the head baker, was amazing—super knowledgeable, encouraging, and great at guiding everyone through the process. We got completely hands-on and learned how to make three incredible sourdough discard recipes: breadsticks (grissini), soda bread, and crackers. The entire class was fun, informative, and delicious. They provided snacks right when we arrived, and there were beverages available to purchase during the session. The vibe was incredibly friendly and low-key, and the best part was getting to take home everything we made! I would definitely take another class here and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great baking workshop.

    The Bread Room’s Bread Making Class was a great experience! Kyle, the Bread Room’s baker, led us through a wonderful evening of bread making! It was very informative for all in the class - from those who had baked bread, to those who never had flour on their hands! In addition, they provided a bread tasting prior to the class starting with 3 different loaves of bread , accompanied by olive oil, a rhubarb jam, and butter! Wine, beer and coffee were also served! I tasted the whole wheat loaf…it was one of the best breads I’ve had! After class ended, they had an assortment of delicious sandwiches on all types of bread!! It was amazing and memorable event! I may not be able to ever bake bread as good as the loaves I tasted at the Bread Room that evening. But it’s comforting to know, I can (and will) go back for more delicious bread!

    Took the Sourdough Bread Class with Kyle the Baker at The Bread Room. Was the most fun I've had in ages. I hope they offer the intermediate and advanced classes too. I'd take those in a heartbeat!

    Great experience learning about hotpot and everyone’s experiences with it weather it was around a family tradition or with friends. Can’t wait to make the snack mix and drink we had! I’d definitely do another class at the Bread Room.
