Flying Monkey creates and bakes delicious cakes and sweets daily. It is popular among locals and tourists. One of their best selling items is the Pumpple Cake, which offers a layer of white cake with embedded apple pie, over a layer of chocolate cake embedded with pumpkin pie. Top that off with a de...

So many inventive bars, cakes and other baked goods. With tons of seasonal offerings, you'll always find something new with each visit. One of my favorites is the S'moreo which is a bar of homemade marshmallow (with a touch of honey), diagonally half dipped in dark chocolate, and rolled in crushed O...

They are very originals. I used to live in Philly 3 years ago and I loved their cupcakes. Last weekend after 2 years of my last cupcake there I can say that I'm very sad because they are not that good anymore. I mean the cupcakes are yummy but not like they use to be.

I bought the butter cake and I must say it was so delicious. So delicious that I ordered a pan to be delivered to me here in Atlanta. I was super excited to get it but when I did it was nothing like I had at the bakery. Sure the taste was the same (pure goodness) but the size was very small and thin...

Stopped by during my yearly book event & visit to Reading Market, purchased 2 boxes worth of goodies, and Kris was delightful while handling my order. The peanut butter cupcakes could use a little more peanut butter taste (according to the receiver). But the vanilla cake truffles were super yummy an...

I love sweats, this place is the best hands down in the city. Oh you want butter cake, they have several to choice from that rival what I've had in St. Louis. And thats just the start, Smores Bars, Macaroons, Cookies & Rice Krispies and of course Whoopie Pies. You won't be disappointed I brave Re...

Oh my! Just ate the chocolate vegan cupcake. Not only was it the best vegan cupcake I've ever had, but I would eat it if I could have dairy!! Reading Terminal Market is fantastic, and there are many choices. I found the staff very friendly, and at mid-afternoon on a beautiful Sunday, there was s...

I ran in because I wanted something sweet and with being vegan sometimes it's hard to find a great vegan cookie. I was disappointed with the vegan chocolate chip cookies. It lacked flavor and it was hard which let me know it wasn't fresh. I wish there were more vegan options available for me to try ...

How in the world did this whoopie pie get best of philly!? The cake part was Good, however the filling was a no go for me! This rating was based strictly on that whoopie pie! They have a great selection of other treats. But I only grab what's voted for.

In town for a few days and was recommended to go through the market. I ordered a slice of the sundae layer cake. It looked just too amazing to pass up. However the layers of cake were so dry they were almost crunchy, and the frosting was like a greasy non-flavored whipped topping with very littler s...

Went to the flying monkey bakery to pick up some whoopie pies for an office birthday party.
while I was there I decided to get a single slice of cake to put the candle in. It was like a the "turducken" of cakes. The top layer was apple pie and the bottom chocolate/pumpkin pie. Hard to explain, bu...

Stopped by the bakery stall today and got two things - lavender cupcake and slice of butter cake. The butter cake was amazing - rich, sweet, delicious, and good texture contrast. I would HIGHLY recommend. The lavender cupcake was so-so. The cake was moist but the frosting was too dense and not crea...

I am SO pleased to see that they are offering several Vegan treats for my daughter with food allergies. I like to treat them when we go to Reading, but since discovering her allergies, it seemed unfair when she couldn't have anything. Their treats are delicious - the only thing keeping me from 5 st...

Flying Monkey is one of those spots at Reading Terminal where you just have to try once. Heard of the Pumpple Cake? It's an apple pie and pumpkin pie baked into vanilla cake and chocolate cake laced in buttercream. The cake is massive and 1800 calories a slice! They only make one cake a day and it s...

Yummy cupcakes. They look and taste delicious. They have flour-less options which is great for people who are avoiding gluten. It's not gluten free as it is not a gluten free bakery. So there is cross contamination.
But the flour-less chocole cupcake was delicious. Not dry at all like some gluten f...

My wife and kids used to love this place, but we don't anymore because around 4 years ago we witnessed an african american young men that was working there was screaming at someone and had a kitchen knife in his hand. My wife and kids were really scared.

So disappointed in this cake. Ordered it for my little sisters birthday, went to pick it up yesterday. Although it looked beautiful the cake had no flavor at all. The icing broke apart when cutting into it and the chocolate cake was so hard. Very embarrassing for a 15 year old to cut into a cake amo...

I like one thing here and that is their butter cake - but it's enough for me to give 4 stars. This butter cake is unlike anything else I have ever tasted. They have a few flavors (all which are very good) but the original is the best (butter flavor I guess :P ) So buttery, so delicious. Even a smal...
