Darnel's

Darnel's Cakes, LLC is a Philadelphia bakery and cafe offering breakfast, lunch, and pastries across two brick-and-mortar locations and several farmers markets. Darnel's is known for homemade biscuits, breakfast sandwiches, cinnamon rolls, savory quiche, fresh cakes, cookies, bars, and savory snacks, all crafted by Chef/Founder Kyle Cuffie-Scott and Chef/Co-Owner Joe Lope. What started as a small cupcake fundraiser in the Fall of 2015 for World AIDS Day has grown into a thriving retail business; Darnel's Cakes also raises awareness about the HIV/AIDS epidemic and supports related local and national organizations. Darnel's operates at 444 North Third Street and 990 Spring Garden Street in Philadelphia, with market presence at the Lansdale Farmers Market, Fairmount Farmers Market, and Northern Liberties Farmers Market. Reviewers single out the homemade biscuits (described as buttery and fluffy), breakfast sandwiches, cinnamon rolls, savory mushroom quiche, and vanilla birthday cake as standout items, with several customers noting they returned the next day or plan to become regulars.
