Ladies and gentlemen, the cookie of our DREAMS. This brown buttered, chewy, beauty was rated #1 across 25 Philly cookies by 23 tasters. We were stunned by its perfection.

Luckily for all, @mannabakery_philly isn’t just perfect cookies, their pastries and savory bites will undoubtedly change your life. Just saying. But get there early, because this place is beloved. They will sell out early!

Right before Danny Meyer and Roni Mazumdar took the stage this week @thechefassembly to talk about Danny’s new book, What Could Possible Go Right, we gathered in a room filled to the brim with stellar pastries. (The best kind of room!) In recent years, Philly’s bakery scene has been booming — here’s a little taste.

The pastry counter at Kensington’s Manna Bakery is lined with Palestinian- and Levantine-inspired pastries that connect owner Saif Manna with his culture. But the one specialty Manna feels closest to — the one that brings him back to his grandmother’s home in Jordan, where he spent his summers as a kid — is the za’atar manoushe.

At the link in our bio, Manna shares the stories behind the intentionally sourced ingredients he uses to replicate the flavors of his childhood and celebrate Palestinian culinary traditions.
