Bryn Mawr-Gladwyne Patch brought you the details of  Thursday. Stellar baked goods, friendly service, La Colombe coffee and one of the best carrot cakes I have ever tasted are the draws of this venerable scratch bakery. Click  for the review.

Stop into this cute hole in the wall for a delicious burger, Caesar salad and consistently good pasta dishes. The quarters are tight, but they definitely know what they are doing here. Click for the review.

Decent pizza with all your favorite toppings and even some you may not have thought of. If you’re not feeling like a slice, opt for some of the Greek specialties of the house. Click for the review.

A thicker style crust makes the delicious slices here extra hearty. Bountiful toppings and the option for Sicilian crust make this pizza place a bit better than the other neighborhood spots. Click for the review.

Consistently good sandwiches like the bacon turkey bravo and asiago roast beef and a wonderful chopped chicken cobb salad are some of the highlights of the menu here. For your sweet tooth, the baked goods here taste homemade. Click for the review.

Though the chicken cheese steaks may not be that great, the hoagies are all the rage. Be sure to order carefully as the surly service is not amenable to mistakes. Click for the review.

Can a dyed in the wool Sicilian be a happy vegan for more than a day—how about more than 20 years? Vegan chef/owner Robert Mozzi has a passion for life, healthy living and helping others. His gregarious nature and curiosity are unmatched. Click for the Meet the Chef.

Two Thai women well versed in the cuisine of South East Asia combine their skills and open a Thai & Vietnamese restaurant in Bala Cynwyd. One is a lifelong chef and the other is a school counselor who has been cooking since she was 4. Click for the Meet the Chef/Owner.

When you want authentic Mediterranean fare for a fair price, look no further than newly opened Nova Grill. No need to go to Turkey or Greece—you can experience the cuisine in Villanova. The chef/owner is a wonderful story teller who has spent his life in restaurants. Click  for the Meet the Chef/Owner.

Delicious cupcakes, birthday cakes, wedding cakes come in all shapes and sizes courtesy of pastry chef Elizabeth Paradiso. Finally, a standalone bake shop on Main Street. Click for the review.

The fries are delicious, but the rest of the menu really isn’t. Our reviewer didn’t have many nice things to say about this diner in search of its identity. Click for the review.
