“Great place. Baked goods are excellent and sandwiches are delicious. I had the best breakfast sandwich (BEC on biscuit) I’ve ever had there 2 weeks ago. Very friendly staff with a warm atmosphere. I highly recommend this place.“

“Top notch natas(egg custard tarts!) Amazing bolos de belem(Portuguese style donut) Their breakfast sandwiches are fantastic and their version of a Portuguese classic, the bifana (thinly sliced pork cutlets typically marinated in white wine, garlic, paprika, and lard, served on a soft, crusty bread roll) is outstanding! Staff is also very friendly, highly recommend!“

“Another beautiful event at Gran Café L’Aquila for our annual department dinner. For the second year in a row, their team made the planning process incredibly easy, assisting with the delicious menu, wine selections, setup, and flawless service. Everything was handled with care and professionalism. There’s nothing better than hosting an event and being able to truly enjoy it alongside everyone else.“

“Loved dropping in here on a Saturday. Very relaxed vibes walking in here, perfect for a relaxed meet up, coffee or quick bite. My wife and I ordered the Ume Plum Tea, Vietnamese Latte, Khang’s Special Banh Mi, Crispy Tofu Banh Mi, and Doenjang Butter Fries. The Ume Plum Tea is so unique, and their Vietnamese Latte is the best I’ve had. Their food portions are big, and will definitely leave you full. Highly recommend this place!“

“We love Herman’s Coffee both as a business and a customer. They have good coffee and a great environment to start your day!!! +love their collaborations with small businesses 🤩“

“I love just love this place and their cakes. Very tasty beautiful and great served. Thank god they are 40 minutes away from me. Otherwise I would be there every day.“

“The first time I went I had to wait about 25 minutes for my food because there were many orders ahead of time which I didn’t know about . Once I received my food it was delicious , making the wait worth it . They were nice and is careful with your food . They are so not stingy at all with the sandwiches .
I do recommend ordering ahead of time !“

“I recommend everything! 5 stars“

“Excellent coffee. Friendly helpful staff, and I say that not as a throw-away easy compliment. Out of a total of three visits I can think of the barista being unexpectedly kind each time.

On one occasion my partner rushed in to let our toddler use the toilet then offered to buy something but was met with reassurances there was no need. He gave her a free coffee.

Decor and vibes not my vibe. This is why I drink my coffee at home.“

“I had a great experience at Numedia Café. The atmosphere is nice, and the service was extremely kind and welcoming. I want to be transparent that the owners are close friends of mine, but this review is based on a genuinely positive experience. Highly recommended!“

“Best coffee shop in Philly!! A must-stop when in the city.“

“Some of the best black coffee I’ve had! I’m originally from Illinois. While the cafes I’ve been to in that state are good, this place didn’t water it down, and I didn’t even ask for strong black coffee like I normally would in Illinois. Very polite people! Got my drink in like a minute or two. Went well with my walk around the area!“

“The food was fresh and tasted great! Tom did a good job explaining the dishes we ordered and how they were prepared, and it felt like a fine dining experience with my favorite Filipino foods. The music was chill vibes with some R&B and lighting was nice ambiance too. I enjoyed hearing nearby conversations about the meals as well. Will definitely be back, the dinner reservation was so worth it“

“This is a delicious spot!!! I got the s'mores crepe and it had whole graham crackers in the middle so you get a great crunch! Hubs devoured his strawberry and Nutella crepe. They had a connect four on the wall so we played that as we waited for our food. Crepes came out quickly.

Went back a second time. Still amazing. Highly recommend the work of art of the brownie crepe!“

“It’s always such a delight to visit cafe cuong! their tofu banh mi is super tasty, with tofu being so flavorful, succulent, and juicy.

people there are always welcoming and generous. would love to frequent this amazing spot.“

“would recommend coming here for matcha! i got a large maiko special with matcha and lychee ice cream. the staff were really nice and even offered to give out samples of the ice cream for us to try. overall this is a great place to chill out and hang out with friends. plus they have great taste in jpop and jrock music too.“

“OMGGGGG TRIED THE BUTTERCAKE FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY! AMAZING!!!!!“

“I’ve used sweet talk a few times for their decorated themed cookies and they’re always so delicious and beautifully made! We just recently used them for my daughter’s 1st birthday and they were just everything I could have imagined. The Cinderella theme we spoke about came out absolutely perfect and I’m so grateful!! The taste can’t be beat either because the cookies are delicious!!“

“Just ate here with my family. The food was amazing, staff was great, the owner was present and gave us good recommendations. The food here is top notch! Will definitely be returning!!!“

“Great coffee in a really cool setting! All kinds of original artwork and friendly staff (that was Jeff today)!“

“🥰Frieda: one of my most treasured places. I love its casual sophistication, delicious European-inspired food, and charming, considerate personnel.“

“My waiter Chad was awesome“

“Best chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie I’ve ever had“

“Excellent coffee and excellent service. I ordered a coffee cart for my backyard wedding and it was a huge hit! They brought everything set up and served latte, chai, Americano, espresso and a bunch more. All kinds of flavors. Hot and cold. It was amazing! Everyone was raving about it!“

“I walked in to get a coffee and ended up staying for about a half hour 45 minutes. Had lunch and ordered stuff to go. Great staff, great coffee. ☕️“

“Small cafe with 3 small tables (2 chairs per table), came by for a quick brunch. There were 2 employees when we came by Cashier/Barista and the chef. The Cashier/Barista was very nice and the food was pretty simple but good. My one year old toddler loved their Orzo Risotto, unfortunately there was no high chair but we made it work.“

“The coffee and food are top notch, quiet little downtown strip of merchant st is a great sport to meet a friend or work/study, staff is warm and friendly. Highly recommend!“

“I came in at the end of a run and had a tough time choosing- everything looked super fresh and delicious. It’s rare to find homestyle, healthy food, and Greek!

I had a bowl with chicken, potatoes, veg, whipped feta, and took a pastry and frappe to go.

The people were super nice, and indoor and outdoor dining space bright and clean.

I will 100% be back!“

“The space is beautiful and thoughtfully curated. I ordered a tea and rather than being handed a cup of hot water with a tea bag in it, the tea was properly steeped with the tea bag removed so that I could enjoy without worrying about it being oversteeped—such a helpful touch!!“

“Very good sandwiches and selection.Plus they stock a really good Australian ginger beer.“

“Tucked away, this Time and Peace cafe is a gem for a quiet time and a good coffee. They have some very interesting options, and today I'm trying the walnut cappuccino. The walnuts are on top and on the rim (if you are dining in) and only on top if you are taking it to go. The maple syrup that it comes with, gives it the perfect sweetness, so taste it before adding anymore sugar. The regular cup is a small cup, I would recommend the large, so you can get your normal caffeine intake 🤭.
I also tried the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant (+$1). Very good! What I loved about it is the fresh egg they put on right before they make it! Amazing!
The almond croissant, although warmed up, didn't live up to my expectations. It was a bit dryish and not very flavorful.
Brown bags for all my purchases (it was a to go order) and the perfect white napkins included set me up for lunch.
The setting is quiet, books and paintings on the wall give it a last century vibe (I felt oh, so good!) and make it a cozy, relaxing place. I would highly recommend it for a time away from the office to de-stress...“

“Everything was great the iced coffee. The spring and chicken rolls. And for dessert the dubi chocolate and strawberries. Happy hour prices tue-fri 12pm-3pm“

“We randomly stopped at this place for brunch after a concert. Food was delicious with very unique options. Sweet chili pork roll is great!“

“try the tomato bisque..omg“

“*4.5/5 Stars*

I recently discovered Good Karma Cafe and I'm hooked! This charming spot exceeded my expectations with its warm atmosphere, top-notch service, and delicious food.

The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, happily answering our questions about the menu. We indulged in their mouthwatering chicken sandwiches on sourdough bread, paired with refreshing lemonade and iced tea. The cozy back dining room, adorned with vibrant art and lush greenery, made for a pleasant dining experience.

Their breakfast and brunch menu boasts an array of tempting options, making me eager to return. Standouts include the Colonel Mustard sandwich and almond croissant.

Good Karma Cafe excels in:

- Friendly, attentive staff
- Beautiful decor
- Excellent selection of hot and cold beverages
- Tasty sandwiches and pastries
- Ample seating
- Convenient WiFi and water for customers

Minor drawbacks:

- Limited outdoor seating
- Coffee (large latte) was bitter and milk was over-steamed (though smoothies were great!)

Overall, Good Karma Cafe is an ideal spot for a satisfying breakfast or lunch. I'll definitely be back for more!

Parking: Usually you can find a spot pretty close by“

“As a local to Philly, I explore many coffee shops and community spaces in the area, but none have matched the warmth, uniqueness, and welcoming environment of Sunday Girl.

From the moment you approach, there's a sense of openness, and sometimes quite literally, with the door wide open on nice days. Inside, that same feeling continues. The staff greets you warmly, making a point to do so by name, and creates a sense of familiarity and connection with everyone that walks in. Each team member brings their own personality to the space, and you can feel how much they care, and not just about the service, but about building real community. Becca, the owner, clearly pours love and passion into Sunday Girl. Her commitment to collaboration, inclusivity, and people-first values is reflected in every corner of the space. Her passion is definitely shared and spread.

Though I’m not a big coffee drinker, I always find something on their diverse menu. Their iced chai latte is my go-to, which is delicious, consistent, and clearly made with high-quality and contribute to buying locally sourced ingredients. I’ve also tried a few pastries and the avocado toast, and everything has been fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and satisfying. There is much more on the menu that I plan to try in the future.

Sunday Girl is more than a coffee bar... it’s a vibrant community hub. They’re dog-friendly, queer-friendly, woman-led, and actively partner with local organizations and clubs. I’m excited to spend more time here and see how this already incredible space continues to grow and evolve and contribute to the good that comes from Philly.“

“Nice store and they sell ice creams, coffee, biscottis, chocolates and many more. This bakery is owned by the Termini Bros bakery as the receipt and bags are from Termini’s. I ordered the Pistachio ice cream, chocolate almond biscotti and cranberry pistachio biscottis. The ice cream is very creamy and delicious. I personally liked the chocolate biscotti than the cranberry and chocolate chip cinnamon biscotti. The staffs are friendly and courteous.“

“This place is AMAZING!!!!! Wilcaf will be the first place I go when I'm back on campus!“

“All always made the same way .. love it“

“Torch Wood, although it may not be your average eat in type of sandwich & pannini restaurant, it's definitely the place to order online or do a quick drive by pick up. Off the corner of north 3rd & Vine St., Torch Wood friendly customer service, attention to details and delicious menu will keep you coming back for more each and every day. Stop for one of their breakfast sandwiches or lunch salads and grab a latte while you at it, you will enjoy the trip! Highly recommended, Javier from Orlando, FL.“

“😃Excellent breakfast sandwiches! Best in the area and I've tried a lot of them here after moving from NY.“

“Love the vibe. The employees were incredibly helpful and friendly. Food and drinks were excellent. FREE mimosas or bloodies with any food purchase. 10/10 will return next time I'm in town.“

“Cafè Ida Is A True Philadelphia Gem! It Isn't Just Your Typical Cafè It's An Experience! From Thee Moment You Walk Through The Door, You're Enveloped In A Warm, Inviting Atmosphere That Feels Like A Cozy, Yet Vibrant, Escape From The City Hustle. The Food The Service And The Experience Are Next Level Will Definitely Be A Spot That I Will Frequent!“

“Amazing service! Pour over was the strong hit I needed this morning. The star of the show was the breakfast sandwich with the most creamy and fluffy egg with… spam?? To top it off, the scallion jam was a perfect pair. Cool record collection upstairs too“

“Always love it here! Food, service and atmosphere are amazing!“

“This cute coffee place was right across the street from our hotel. They honestly had the best lattes in Philly while we were visiting- so smooth and creamy. Our kids loved the French beignets, much different than New Orleans but so yummy. Their pastries were all so fresh. We highly recommend this place“
