Now let’s talk about the pandan latte. I’m honestly obsessed. It's the perfect blend of cozy, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness with that beautiful, unique flavor that you can't find anywhere else. I dream about this latte — it's that good! If you’ve never tried pandan before, trust me, this is the place to fall in love with it.

“*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“

“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...“

“American Grammar is my favorite cafe in Philly! Every drink I get is perfect and somehow always has the perfect espresso pull. The energy and beauty of the space (as well as amazing collection of books) make it such a pleasant place to go! Special shout out to Terrence who always makes you feel warm with his amazing energy and kindness. Grateful to have a place like American Grammar in the neighborhood.“

“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.“

“try the tomato bisque..omg“

“If you’re looking for a great latte,coffee,breakfast sandwich or dessert look no more because the Great Awakening has the best, the vibe inside is so welcoming and all the workers make you feel like family it’s truly a hidden gem. I look forward to seeing everyone at the cafe and enjoy the awesome coffee they make.“

“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.“

“Big portions. Always amendable with options. Tons of vegan options. Gotta love it“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“My sisters and I decided to stop in for some coffee after brunch. The man in front of us in line wanted a muffin. They were honest and said one felt hard and dry, so they suggested another flavor that wasn’t. That impressed us. Then they answered our questions about best selling latte flavors and what some flavors were. Not only were they informative and gave their personal suggestions, but they were very courteous and kind.“

“My first taste of Shakshuka and it was amazing! Very comfortable place, too. My partner had a smoked turkey sandwich that had a lot of great flavor!“

“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.“

“I love the muffins especially the blueberry bran. However, they occasionally taste salty. I'm no baker but wonder if those particular batches haven't been mixed well.“

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

“The best crepes in the Philadelphia area, as far as I can tell. Great coffee and ice cream, too. Tucked away in Elkins Park, but very much worth discovering.“

“Everything is great but I highly recommend Terry's French Dip, chicken sandwich, or the tuna. Easy grab and go options too.“

“Fantastic teas selection. The folk that work are super nice, and the atmosphere is so relaxing.“

“Great neighborhood cafe with good smoothies and friendly staff. As a plus, there’s basement seating that is quieter (no music) than the first level if you need to lock in 🫡 There are a few stool chairs in front of the cafe if you want to sit outside.“

“This is our local spot to come during the farmer’s market on Saturdays. It is part of Glenside’s charm!“

“Patty melt was bussin and my family loved the food. Good Food and good community“

“I can't say enough good things about this place I was picking up an order for someone else in the staff was so kind that I don't know if I'll ever get coffee from anywhere else. I travel all over and have been to most of the coffee places in Philly this is my new go to.. stellar job y'all keep it up“

“I love the food here. But i went there tonight around 730 and it was frigid outside. Just as we were sitting down to eat our food the worker decided to open the doors to carry all the outdoor furniture in then kept them open while he changed trash outside too. Not a care in the world for how freezing it was for his customers. It was extremely disappointing. We drive like 25 minutes to eat here. May be a while before we do that again.“

“I drive 40 minutes to visit Lorettas. Friendly staff, excellent service, excellent product. I would be there every day if I lived closer!! Shoutout to manager Zoe and Pierce! They always provide such a friendly service and are extremely welcoming. Definitely check out this joint“

“We just moved here. Walked in to ask for a takeout menu. It felt so warm and inviting and the staff behind the counter were so friendly that we decided to stay. Our server Jessica was very welcoming. My wife enjoyed the corned beef special on gluten-free bread. She said it tasted like real deli corned beef. I got a large hunk of Reuben quiche (it was Quiche of the Day) and it was delicious! Large chunks of corned beef, cheesy, and a yummy crust. Definitely going back, so many items in the display case looked tantalizing. This place feels like a hidden gem.“
