Philly Cheesecake Lady
Cheesecake as the whole point, in more flavors than you'd expect one bakery to carry. A Jenkintown go-to for the birthday-and-holiday order.
Montgomery County
Jenkintown
A borough smaller than a square mile that used to have its own Wanamaker's. Old York Road still runs through the strip locals call Uptown, past a nonprofit-run 1913 movie house, and into one of SEPTA's busiest regional rail stops outside the city.

Not seeing a spot you love in Jenkintown? Tell us what we're missing →
Eat
Kresha Kreations
A custom-cake bakery on Leedom Street in Jenkintown, working mostly to order rather than a walk-in case. Small shop, steady regulars.
Grandma Jannah's Ice Cream Parlor
An ice cream parlor on West Ave with the kind of name that tells you the recipes came from somebody's kitchen. Scoops, sundaes, and a counter to eat them at.
Mr. Andy's Chicken
Korean fried chicken on West Avenue, the double-fried, stays-crunchy kind. Order more than you think you need.
Lilly's Authentic Indian Cuisine
Indian cooking on West Avenue running the full board of curries, tandoori, and biryani. Reliable heat if you ask for it.
Pizza Wheel Brick Oven ~ Italian Kitchen
Brick-oven pizza and Italian plates on York Road, from the pies to the pastas. Casual, quick, and easy to grab on the way home.
Drink
Machinery Club
A bar at 510 Greenwood Ave, the sort of place you find by walking past rather than by Googling. No website, which tells you something about the crowd.
Human Robot Jenkintown
The Jenkintown outpost of Philly's Human Robot brewery, pouring lagers and mixed-fermentation beers on York Road. Order a flight and settle in.
Kings Corner
A neighborhood pub on Summit Avenue with a solid beer list and a kitchen that does pub food right. The sort of corner spot you end up at without planning to.
The MacSwiney Club
A members' social club at 510 Greenwood Ave with an Irish streak and a bar behind the door. The kind of room that runs on regulars.
The Keep Easy
A cocktail bar on Yorkway Place with a speakeasy streak, right down to the name. The drinks are careful and the room is small, and the regulars who found it gave it a 4.9.
Shop local
Mine By Design Etsy Shop
A West Ave maker's shop that moved from Etsy to a storefront, selling handmade goods and gifts you can hold before you buy. Nice if you'd rather your money go to the person who made the thing.
Breslin's Consignment Corner
A consignment corner on West Ave where the racks turn over fast and secondhand does the heavy lifting. Worth a dig if you like not knowing what you'll walk out with.
L&H Bridal
A bridal shop on York Road where the wedding-dress hunt actually ends, with gowns and fittings under one roof. Come for one appointment, leave with a short list.
Jenkintown Farmers Market
A seasonal farmers market on Greenwood Ave with local growers and makers on market day. Show up early if you want the good tomatoes.
BLK NST BOUTIQUE SHOWROOM
A Black Nest keeps its boutique showroom on West Ave, stocked with home goods and design pieces you won't spot in every living room. Small and curated, the antidote to buying the same mass-market shelf as everyone else.
Women's Center of Montgomery County Thrift Shop
The Women's Center of Montgomery County's thrift shop on Leedom Street, where your rummaging funds their services. Racks of secondhand clothes and housewares, plus the occasional find worth the dig.
Things to do
The Sewing Room
A sewing studio on the lower level at Homestead Road, running classes for kids and grown-ups who want to actually learn the machine. Bring a project or start one from scratch.
Cedar Street Moretti Park
A small neighborhood park on Cedar Street, good for a breather between errands. Green space over grand destination, which is the whole point some days.
Curtis Arboretum
Cheltenham Township's 45-acre arboretum on grounds landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted: hills, two ponds, and more than 50 kinds of trees. The lower level holds a fenced dog park with over an acre of off-leash run and a separate enclosure for small breeds.
Jenkintown Library
Jenkintown's public library on York Road, the small-town kind that still runs story times and knows its regulars. Free books and a quiet table, plus community programs on the calendar for kids and adults.
The Borough of Jenkintown Town Square
Jenkintown's own town square on Greenwood Ave, the bit of open ground the borough keeps for gathering. Benches and brick, and whatever the season puts on it.
Briar Bush Nature Center
A 12.5-acre preserve in the middle of suburban Abington with about a mile of trails, a pond, and the free Dede Long Nature Museum of live animals and a touch table. The Griscom Bird Observatory is a climate-controlled cabin where you watch the feeder traffic through big windows; kids get a Nature Playscape of balancing logs, stumps, and boulders.
Good questions
What is Jenkintown known for?
A half-square-mile borough where three rail lines, an art-house theater, and a proper town square all land within a short walk. The commuter’s cheat code.

Is Jenkintown walkable?
Mostly. Park once and the middle of town covers a lot on foot, though a few of our picks want a short drive. We score its main-street walk 4 out of 5; the Jenkintown scouting report shows how that compares to the other towns.

That depends on what you want out here, so we keep a full Jenkintown scouting report for exactly this question. The quick numbers: a typical home runs about $524K, schools are Jenkintown School District, and 4,719 people call the borough home.
