Fodor's Expert Review Brown Betty Dessert Boutique
Northeastern Philadelphia
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
One of the many women-owned businesses in the nabe, Brown Betty is revered for its pineapple pound cake and for its long menu of cupcakes. The overall favorite might be Jean's Road Trip (a cupcake with red-velvet cake and cream-cheese buttercream icing), but it's a toss-up. Enjoy a treat on the cozy bakery's curvaceous antique couch.
