6 reviews for Kaplan's New Model Bakery
I have to agree with a couple of the other reviewers: the rye bread is out of this world.
If you have no other reason for stopping at Kaplan's, do it for the rye. Oh, and the cranberry muffins are quite possibly the best I've ever tasted. They're moist with a slight hint of lemon, and not overly sweet. Muffin snobs, rejoice! Kaplan's are delicious!
The pumpkin bread is tasty, too. So tasty, in fact, that I only got a couple bites of it before my boyfriend scarfed it down himself. (Insert some fist shaking here. Grrr!)
So, folks ... Muffins and rye bread! You want! Skip Sunday brunch and do it up at home, courtesy of Kaplan's.

Most of the things in this bakery are just average. However there is one reason that I stop here every time I go through Northern Liberties and that is for the rye bread. It may be one of the best rye's in the city.

aside from the baker constantly smoking butts outside with perhaps the dirtiest t-shirt I have ever seen the bread is pretty decent, esp the challah bread. But the bagels are not good especially the wheat ones which taste like play-do. the pastries are old half the time, anyone know where I can get a good bagel around philadelphia? I miss nyc bagels...

Cute Jewish bakery on the corner. Its a small bakery with loads of delicious baked goods along with different kinds of bread. What a selection of cookies by the way!

I love this place. It's a little Jewish bakery on the side of a corner. You walk in and there's a small counter with lots of scrumptious things. I always stop here because it's right near my Grandpop's house and they have the best rye bread and bakery goods. The danishes are amazing and feel like they weigh 5 lbs. The staff is also extremely helpful and nice. I would definitely check it out if you're near by.

Kaplan's doesn't do a lot, but they do their thing very well. Rye bread, challah, knishes, all served up with the sort of report you'd expect from a real neighborhood Jewish bakery.
I've heard that Kaplan's is a glatt kosher bakery; you may want to check on that, as I can't say for sure.
Aside from that, you're looking at a pretty selection of cookies and sweets. As I'm writing this, it's around Purim time (springtime holiday on the Jewish calendar), so make sure you pick up some humentaschen, these triangular, fruit-filled cookies, which are supposed to represent the triangular hat of a character in the Purim story -- a guy named Hamen, who was sort of a jerk (and that, I believe, is why we eat his hat.)
