Saint Peters Bakery — Restaurant in Warwick Township

My wife and I stopped by there yesterday for a sandwich and some treats. I know they have wonderful bakery items because I previously purchased them at the Phoenixville farmers market. However, I never had their sandwiches and so we decided it would be nice to grab a sandwich and sit outside on the deck . We were then informed you need a RESERVATION to do so. Are you kidding me? A reservation at a bakery. The tables were all empty. This is a bad business model for a bakery. I'm sure we are not the first people that left because they couldn't sit down and eat their food or goodies while enjoying the nice weather. I think they would do much better if they went to a first come/served model as most people would not expect you need a reservation at a bakery., Update We went there today for brunch and Melanie, her son Jeff, and the staff could not have been more accommodating.. My Frittata and my wife's quiche were amazing. We split a double chocolate cookie for desert that melted in your mouth. I already knew their baked items were the best, but now I know they also have a delicious brunch . There was some confusion the first time I went there on a Friday evening, that is the only time they suggest a reservation due to the popularity of their Friday night musical entertainment {which we definitely plan on attending.} In summation, I highly recommend this bakery. You can not go wrong with the meals, baked goods, and the view from the back deck overlooking St. Peter's village...

Late 1800s general store overlooking the ‘Falls at French Creek’ repurposed as a quality Bakery. I visit for a relaxed coffee and breakfast of toasted apple/walnut bread, tasty croissants which sell out fast, or a large slice of quiche of interesting and complementary ingredients. My coffee and lunch consists of the multigrain bread stuffed with blackforest ham, cheese, tomato, and romaine, with the honey mustard on the side, for mustard quantities vary by the individual. An added treat is the fresh sliced fruit (breakfast) or fresh baby green salad (lunch) on the side for entree-like orders. We have yet to attend the Friday evening homestyle pizza and music events, but friends have said we are missing out, so much so that reservations are required to accommodate capacity Friday nights.

One will find a richness of taste and texture in this Bakery that I have not found in other bakeries across the country. Hand-made quality ingredients have a natural sweetness. Thus, their products are rich in taste, but not overly sweet. Some have said the prices are a little high, but as a home baker of breads, pies, and cookies for charitable events who has costed out ingredients and labor, St Peters Bakery prices are very reasonable. I would recommend the triple ginger, oatmeal, and cowboy cookies, and any of the pies (my blueberry and apple pies are slightly better of course, although the Bakery has excellent variations thereof). The double chocolate cake and the fruit tarts are real crowd pleasers, and friends/relatives ask us to bring more of these...

Disappointed.

We had a terrible experience at St. Peter's Bakery that left us frustrated and disappointed. We placed our order and sat at our table for 35 minutes with no food, only to discover when we finally asked that they had never even made it. The staff’s response? A casual “oops, sorry.” Meanwhile, we had watched them sitting around on their phones instead of attending to customers.

When we asked for a refund due to their oversight, we were rebuked and told, “Well, now the food is ready.” We pointed out that a discount or any gesture of accountability would have been appropriate, and they simply replied, “Sorry, we’re closing soon” — this was at 12:45 PM, even though they advertise that they close at 3:00 PM.

The staff was rude, unprofessional, and completely unwilling to own their mistake. The only acknowledgment we got was a dismissive, “Oh well, it was an honest mistake.”

To top it all off, the food was mediocre at best. The French baguette was hard, dry, and lumpy — nothing like a proper fresh-baked baguette should be.

We won’t be returning. There are too many great bakeries around to waste time and money on one that clearly doesn’t value...
