“They were very helpful geting my soda as I could not and my breakfast to the table and the price was reasonable and parking is eau at the doorParking: Eay parking lots of itWheelchair accessibility: Very accommodating to the handicap its has plenty of spaces for us“
“Philadelphia is famous for many restaurants, chief among them the Starr restaurants line up, which are difficult to beat. But there's one restaurant that actually can! Suraya. It's a modern yet authentic Lebanese restaurant, with a stunning ambiance and even better food & drinks. You can't go wrong with any of their offerings but my personal favorites are:- Muhammara- Fatteh- Arnabeet Mekle- Djej Meshwi- Samke HarraFor drinks, try the Poet.It's not the cheapest place and you probably should drive there (not conducive for public transportation) but it's worth all the trouble! There is a dedicated paid parking lot just behind the restaurant for $15.This is an absolutely must try place, period.“
“If you’ve been to Italy and want a reminder of how delicious the food is, you must come here. Our server, Vincenzo was delightful and the food and wine were so good you might think you’re in Italy. We ordered the bruschetta, Agnolitti and Ragu paired with a bottle of a SuperTuscan. Everything was so good, I forgot to take pictures. And even if you’re too full, you must order gelato!!“
“The baked goods are SO FRESH we came in at 10 am and got the ham and egg, taro bun, pork bun, danish, and Vietnamese coffee. Everything was so tasty the pork buns and taro buns are the best thing!! Id have an idea of what you want before you go in, theres a lot of options and its a bit of a tight space that gets crowded easily. Pineapple bun isn’t filled I think fyi. Bring cash if you can its just easier and probably cheaper.“
“We just found this gem last night. The food was fabulous, we tried a few of the different tacos and each one was delicious. The margarita's were on point, definitely try the Green Spicy! The waitstaff and management were very friendly as well. We will definitely be back.“
“Excellent place to eat and drink (coffee, lattes, etc.). Ordered a SEC with 3 eggs ($8) as well as a 16 oz sugar free latte ($4.75). Both tasted great! Park in the tiny lot behind the building on Delaware Street or in front of the building (side entrance and exit) on S. Broad.“
“Persimmon is the loveliest coffee shop in Fishtown. Everything I have tried here is standout. The service is exceptional and the quality is unmatched. I typically enjoy a drip coffee but their seasonal lattes are SO thoughtful and delicious. So much care and attention to detail goes into this place and it shows :)“
“Great coffee, quick, friendly staff, cool decor, really slick looking espresso machine. A little crowded but well-managed. I talked to the barista about his job and I could tell he really takes pride in his work. I got a perfect Americano. They roast in-house. This is the micro brewery of cafe's. The pic is a cool light I saw in there.“
“Napoletano Brothers delivers outstanding service with a genuine touch of kindness towards customers. From the moment you step in, their warm hospitality creates a welcoming atmosphere. The coffee is exceptional, the pizza is delightful, sandwiches are scrumptious, and the pasta is a true delight. A culinary experience worth savoring, made even more enjoyable by the friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommended for a delightful dining experience!“
“Best coffee in the city -- truly perfect every time! It is a tiny space so unless you time it right you probably won't be able to sit. Not a good study/hangout location but great for a coffee on the go. Truly cannot recommend it enough! All the coffee snobs I know adore this place!“
“Absolute best bakery in Philly. Local gem run by the coolest/sweetest couple. Best bagels in the city and you can’t go wrong with anything else. Creative dairy and vegan options including the best croissants I’ve had outside of France. Get in line early if you want the goods!Vegetarian options: Amazing vegan selectionWheelchair accessibility: Accessible“
“So cute! I don’t know why this the first tie I have been here but this place is adorable. Ladies, it’s tea time! Bring your friends! I will say that there could be more tea options for that price. Two tea choices? I would say 3 or 4 choices per party would be more appropriate for the price. Otherwise, love everything else!!!! The tea sandwiches, Yum! Especially the one with the pickled radish! And the little cookies! My pinky is coming out just thinking about that delightful experience. Love it! Thank you!Parking: A few spots. Try to get there early to see if you can get a spot when someone is pulling out“
“I'm writing this review live from the high top counter facing true West in Shot Tower, watching the yellow leaves fall down from the sycamore tree while sipping on my espresso doble from this baby blue espresso cup with Stevie Ray Vaughn's Little Wing cover in my chorded apple headphones. Okay I don't know if it's actually a sycamore tree but that was the first tree name that came to my head so I let it fly.For full transparency, this is my 2nd time here today and it's only 12:13pm lol so that should tell you everything you need to know.The natural light is flooding in here like that cute girl's DMs getting flooded after she deletes the pics with her boyfriend of 2+ years. Get em up fellas!!There is ample seating in this beautiful open floor plan... hol up let me count..... Okay yeah I counted 32 seats... but don't quote me on that I caught eyes with a few people as I was scanning and it was super awk so I'm not recounting.They make a MEAN Dirty Chai Latte with oat milk, as that is my budded love interest's go-to drink. It's honestly so gas lol I may be a convert from my espresso/black cold brew... but don't tell her that it would go straight to her head and she already be chirping me enough.The staff here always greets me with a smile and has good energy. This is an ideal place to get some work done, sit and read, or take a zoom call with your therapist when in Queen Village. Oh yeah, I read hehe haha :)I could write a whole novel on my newfound love for Queen Village, and I will one day. What a calm, quaint, and character-rich neighborhood this is. I'm obsessed.IG @jnov_Tiktok @jnov__“
“Went here for the first time the other day. They have so many different things to buy. Great assortment of things to put on your lawn. Also, if your in need of coffee, they have whatever you are looking for in kcups! The staff is very friendly. Very pleasant atmosphere. Will definitely be going back again?“
“A neighborhood staple, and a great example of how a cultural melting pot like South Philly offers a cross sample of delicious food from different parts of the world. Neighborhood family-owned and operated. The sausage egg and cheese croissant and fruit pastries are a “
“Incredible service! They're super accommodating with my dairy allergy and made an incredible vegan latte. My boyfriend got the croissant and egg sandwich and said it was perfectly crispy and the eggs and sausage were fresh. Highly recommend!“
“Hidden in the old city side street. Reasonable amount of seating inside and clean. Not easy access for buggies and wheel chairs and parking in the side streets or multi story car park. Quick service on orders of food and coffee. Menu a little complex and would be worth having a build your own option. Worth a try if in the area. ?“
“I’ve been visiting and ordering from Batter & Crumbs for years, and they’re so reliably good. They do basic coffee and treats well, and they offer rotating specials to keep things fresh, and I look forward to trying their seasonal goodies. I’m so glad to have them as an option.Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan! Yay!“
“Delightful visit to this bakery! The mocha cake was heavenly—moist, rich in flavor, and with the perfect balance of coffee and chocolate. Paired with their freshly brewed coffee, it was an absolute treat. Cozy ambiance and friendly staff added to the wonderful experience. A must-try spot for anyone looking for quality cakes and coffee. Highly recommend!“
“This place is like a dream! Cannot say enough good things about this place. Firstly, the two women who own it are incredibly kind. I got a coffee and almond croissant, both were delicious! They hand stamp the logo on the cups and write cute inspirational messages on them by hand. They have tons of seating both tables for working and big comfy chairs for reading. I opted for the latter and camped out for 2 hrs. They didn't rush me out and were so sweet when I left.Overall, will definitely be making this a regular spot. Cannot recommend enough!“
“I have known and loved Fantes for many many years, having found them online and ordered over the internet from Houston, TX. Visited Philadelphia for the first time and of course had to visit Fantes - it was so well worth it! Just a pleasure to wander around and everyone in there so friendly and helpful. And I was overjoyed to see rainbow flags and know that this is a store where all people are welcome (though don't we wish the bigots would just stay home).I loved seeing the vintage kitchen items on display above the racks of goods for sale and the Fantes line that honors various family members is truly excellent. Plus, going to Fantes meant I discovered the Italian Market as a whole and I wouldn't have missed it for the world!Fantes, thank you for existing and for being glorious! I have bought so many items from you over the years and they're all great quality items that I use and use and use. Thank you!“
“Must have walked past this little cafe a dozen times going to the big corner cafe - never again!The vibe and service at Gleaners is disarmingly pleasant and the coffee was just damn good!The restaurant guys say this is the best coffee shop in the hood, they are correct“
“I had the early gray milk tea with pearl boba and milk foam. It was amazing and they even put it in my reusable 16oz coffee cup!The place is so clean and the gentleman behind the counter was super helpful. I will for sure be back to try other flavors.“
“Recently ordered coffee beans from Nook after doing a bit of research on different coffee shops in the Philadelphia area. Very, very impressed by the quality of the beans as they made an excellent cup of coffee freshly ground in my chemex. Just as impressive as the coffee, however, was the customer service. I received a handwritten note from Mike and Edna thanking me for my order and explaining how they chose to include a sample pack of coffee beans based on the flavor profile of the ones in my order. I have ordered a lot of tea and coffee from different shops across the country and have never experienced such care and attention to detail. I highly recommend you check them out, and I’m looking forward to ordering more from them in the future.“
“My favorite coffee place in the gayborhood. They make artisan coffee and eve have ethically sourced brews easily available. Habit has the kindest staff who are incredibly patient and understanding . Dogs are allowed inside which is a huge plus and the pastries are “
“Not only are the single serving treats just adorable (I mean a sleeping teddy bear), they are VERY tasty. The cakes are equally delicious, my experience is that they always have a couple of smaller cakes on hand which has saved me in a pinch several times. The team is lovely, friendly and kind. Highly, highly recommend and will continue to be a customer for a long time“
“My absolute favorite cafe in the neighborhood. They have the best tasting lattes and always have a new and inventive monthly special. My husband and I always look forward to the 1st of the month when they post their newest creation on Instagram! A huge plus is they have incredibly friendly staff.“
“The outdoor seating area in the rear of the restaurant gives you the feel of hanging out in someone's personal garden hideaway.Parking: The restaurant is located in a very busy section of the city, very close to both I-95 and 76 highway systems.“
“I visited this place and ordered two items: a triple chocolate cookie and a salmon avocado toast.The triple chocolate cookie tastes good, but it has a texture more like a chocolate cupcake, crumbly like cake, in the shape of a cookie ($4.95).The salmon avocado toast is a tasty, ordinary toast, but it only came with one regular-sized slice (was expecting two given the price of $14.95 or $13.95). The expected portion size, in my opinion, did not align with the price.Gets busy in the morning.Dietary restrictions: They offer GF items“
“I attended a charity dinner at Winkle and the food was delicious. Came to table fresh and hot and I got a lovely piece of fish. Carrot cake was great. We enjoyed the atmosphere and servers were efficient and friendly. Will go back for sure.“
“Absolutely amazing experience! The matcha latte was honestly the best quality I have ever tasted! All the food we ordered wasn't too sweet, and the matcha flavor itself was delicious! I was wary of a matcha overload, but it was perfect. The atmosphere is adorable too, and the matcha was in a cute green cup. I admire how even the ice cream cone wasn't the generic too-sweet cone. My kid brother loved the stuffed animals, and we will definitely come back!! ?“
“Very nice hidden gem for a coffee or tea stop. The coffee was great. To be honest the tea was ok. So if I may give the very nice owners a suggestion; choose for very good teas like Damman or Rishi (e.g.). Then also for tea drinkers (or mixed couple as we) they will be even more worth wile to go. And btw; one teabag is probably enough. They also have some pastries, pancakes and panini. Very nice interior with lovely background music. I believe they started not long ago so we wish them good business“
“What a great spot. The soup dumplings were unreal. Fresh hot and full of flavor. The scallion pancakes were thin and crispy cooked to perfection. The ginger sauce to dip in was a perfect balance of sweet and savory. I added a little chili oil to spice it up and took it to the next level. The pork bun was soft and full of flavor. I've never seen one so big in my life. A must try and I will be back for sure.“

“OMG, I just discovered this little spot tucked away in an office block. Absolutely the freshest food. I had a smoothie, amazing veggie panini and the soup of the day which was chicken noodle. The ladies are lovely and service is top notch. All good and will be back when the opportunity “
“Came to Philadelphia for a weekend get away from NYC and I'm going to miss this place! Had breakfast here two days in a row and the food was amazing! Loved the tofu scramble with sausage (and spicy mayo on the side) and the tater tots were perfection! The pancakes were also great. Kuddos to the chef! She was the only one I saw cooking in the back and the food came out quickly and was so well seasoned. Would come back to Philly just to have breakfast here again :)“
“My wife and I love eating here and asked if they could come cater a party we had at the house. They did a fantastic job and stayed throughout to make sure everything was warm and fresh for our large group (70 plus). Would definitely recommend and hire again!“
“They have English muffins, but you have to call. If you want to order a BEC sandwich you can't option it with an English muffin thru the online menu. You also can't add random things like: scrambled, and salt & pepper. Other than that those ordering inconveniences their breakfast sandwiches are pretty great.“
“Great coffee shop within easy walking distance from my apartment! My favorite is the caramel black salt latte. Sometimes I pick up a bag of coffee, but I’m trying to cut back lately. You also get a free coffee if your purchase a bag. The service is great and the vibes are good. There is plenty of seating inside and it seems like it would be a nice place to work if I ever feel so inclined. I just wish they would offer some cozy seating too.Parking: The paid street parking right out front is usually full, but sometimes there are spots open on the next street over. I’d recommend walking or transit, but parking is manageable most of the time.“
“Awesome ice cream, awesome staff, great selection always. I often come here because they rotate the ice cream options frequently and I always want to try something new. Seriously, I think it's impossible to have tried all the flavors. God bless!“
“Exceptional coffee shop if you like real coffee. Ordered a coffee just before they closed and they didn’t have anything on drip ready or fresh but had made plenty for a previous pour over and got some of their treehouse blend. Fantastic. I buy their beans online. Also highly recommend. They have some incredible tasting notes. Also very comfortable space at the time I went, not overcrowded or loud.“
“Love this place and their soft serve! I like that they have their standard flavors, ube and matcha and two other seasonal flavors in rotation. Ube and matcha are must trys, I also really like the hojicha, and during the fall they had pumpkin spice and in the summer Thai ice tea. I've gotten their drinks as well but typically go here for their soft serve“
“Ate miles away from the center of the city of Philadelphia. Lot of groceries and snacks and candy from Ireland. The server was busy but kept coming around to top off everyone's coffee. Inside feels like old southie before it got all bougie“
“We checked out the Ground Up Cafe & Coffee shop last week in South Philly.This a great little coffee shop on East Passyunk. The decor was simple and fun with just a hint of an European vibe. Bistro seating was available inside and outside. It was very comfortable overall.The menu offered many choices from prepared sandwiches to baked goods. I wasn’t planning on eating, but then I saw scones - I had to try one. Cranberry - and it was delicious! The coffee was also very good (definitely made note of that for the next time I am in the neighborhood). The barista was also very pleasant.This is a great café to try while out and about shopping on East Passyunk. I’ll be back!#trustkj“
“Our new favorite coffee spot. The coffee is delicious and a great price! We love that they are family/stroller friendly - have some games for kids and ramp access on the side. Also dog and LGBTQ friendly too. Right next to Dickinson Square park. We’re so happy this business opened!Kid-friendliness: Games and books for kids and some for adults tooWheelchair accessibility: Side entrance has an accessible ramp“
“Love this coffee shop and street corner. The latte was great, the staff was kind and quick, and the place was very bright.Personal anecdote: This was the first and only place that I ever visited in Philly before deciding to move here from Michigan a month later! Now I've been here for almost 2.5 years.“
“Without using wildly fancy ingredients, odd marketing gimmicks, or stupidly elevated prices, the folks at Middle Child have managed to perfect the art of the humble sandwich. Thank goodness for my wallet they aren't closer to where I work.“
“Very nice quiet atmosphere. Very peaceful and I loved seeing the daughter and Mom duo. It's was refreshing to see considering I brought my daughter along with me. The Boba my daughter ordered wasn't sweet to her liking, and she was going to add additional sugar, however the owner called my daughter over to fix the drink. It's the little things and this business has it! ❤️“
“We stopped in for brunch after a weekend run workout. I was initially shocked at how small it was as I thought it was more of a sit down place. While they do have limited (like 4 or 5) seating, it primarily is a take out place. Do NOT hold that against them as both takeout and dine in food is A-Maz-ing!I went with the Caprese Avocado Toast and a large tea. Very fresh ingredients. Clearly patiently assembled. Most importantly, tasty! The chai tea had a hint of cinnamon and was served in a nice big cup at just right temperature.They do not really have "table service", again think limited seating. However, the staff behind the counter are patient, friendly, and polite.After enjoying my meal, I got something extra to-go! As such, I clearly recommend you stop by. I know I'll be back again soon.“
“A great place. Been open many years. Recently on TV for their Anniversary. Sometimes crowded but they are quick and move fast. You can get breakfast sandwiches all day which is a plus. Coffee very good, another plus. Only takes cash, no big deal to me. Grew up in South Philly and local neighborhood places the same. Got scrapple, egg & cheese, bacon, egg & cheese, peppers , egg & cheese. All outstanding. Owner Bruce and his wife working up front, working, greeting and monitoring everything.“
“I got a breakfast sandwich. It was a 90 positive I take a star away due to lack of seasoning but they probably couldn't do it due to dietary restrictions of the public. But that's the only reason they didn't get 5 starsDietary restrictions: There was no seasoning on the food“
