Somedays Bakery Is Bringing New York’s Croissant Craze to Rittenhouse Square

Philadelphia’s pastry scene is about to get even sweeter.

The signs are finally up at Somedays Bakery, signaling that one of the city’s most anticipated bakeries is nearing its opening. Taking over the former Republic Bank space at the corner of 16th and Walnut Streets in the heart of Rittenhouse Square, the Queens-born bakery is making a statement before it even opens its doors.

For months, food lovers have been eagerly watching the transformation of the prominent corner storefront. Now, with Somedays’ signature branding in place, the excitement is reaching a fever pitch.

If you haven’t heard of Somedays Bakery yet, prepare to become obsessed.

Founded in Queens, New York, Somedays has earned a devoted following for its beautifully laminated artisanal croissants, inventive pastries, and café menu that blends classic French techniques with bold, modern flavors. Rather than simply offering another neighborhood bakery, Somedays has built a reputation for creating pastries that are as visually stunning as they are delicious.

Even more impressive? Rittenhouse Square will be the bakery’s first location outside New York and New Jersey, marking Philadelphia as the next chapter in the brand’s expansion.

The menu reads like a dream for pastry lovers.

Traditional butter croissants sit alongside creative seasonal specialties like the eye-catching Honeydew Danish. Those looking for something savory won’t be disappointed either. The bakery’s Apple Chicken Salad Croissant Sandwich has already generated plenty of buzz online, while the classic Bacon, Egg & Cheese Croissant looks destined to become a breakfast favorite for Center City commuters.

Somedays also plans to serve soft-serve ice cream, giving visitors another reason to stop by during the warmer months. Pair it all with coffee from Philadelphia favorite La Colombe, and the bakery is positioning itself as an all-day destination rather than simply a morning stop.

The opening also reflects a larger trend that’s reshaping Philadelphia’s food scene. Nationally recognized bakeries continue to see Center City—and Rittenhouse Square in particular—as an ideal place to grow. Over the past few years, the neighborhood has welcomed several acclaimed bakery concepts, and Somedays is poised to become one of its newest culinary attractions.

While an official opening date has yet to be announced, the installation of the storefront signage suggests that the wait may soon be over.

If the bakery’s social media is any indication, customers should expect long lines, plenty of camera-worthy pastries, and difficult decisions about what to order first.

Rittenhouse Square is about to gain another destination for pastry lovers, and this is one opening that’s worth keeping an eye on. I mean, “somedays?” You’re going to want to try everydays!
