“Can't beat the deals and the prices are fair.
Food is very delicious and the service is 5 🌟 s.

I recommend the Tropical French Toast and the home fries sell themselves.

Wish this place was open 24/7🙏🏻🤞“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! 10/10“

“This is exactly what you want from a small counter service shop. The pastries and menu items are unique to the area and very flavorful. Items marked spicy are truly spicy, so be careful if you're sensitive to spice. The dining area is cozy but not cramped. Food and drinks are ready fast, and the staff is friendly and attentive.“

“Everyone loved every bite! One of my favorite brunch places in and around the city. Awesome food, and attentive service! #lEtsreAlesTate“

“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 🤩“

“Delicious food options including pastries. Friendly staff. And a nice open space. This place is great.“

“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.“

“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!“

“What a great, local cafe with delicious hot chocolate and other warm/cold drinks and snacks. Peaceful vibe, great decor, friendly and welcoming owners. 😀“

“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.“

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

“Everything I have ever gotten here is 10/10!!!“

“Been on my Philly food list for a long time and finally gave it a try. Bahn mi's are the perfect sandwich in my opinion, and this place does them right. Fresh ingredients, with simple flavors that all work well together. Tried a few different ones with friends and all of them were perfection.

Vietnamese iced coffee hit the spot to finish the meal off.“

“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!!!!!“

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

“I had such a great experience at The Turkish Brew! The Turkish coffee was rich, authentic, and perfectly prepared. I also tried some Turkish food, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and truly reminded me of home.
The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is incredibly friendly. It’s the perfect spot to relax, enjoy a great cup of coffee, and experience real Turkish flavors. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“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. ☕️“

“This place has been on our list for a long time, and we’re so lucky it’s close to our home! We had an amazing breakfast experience. Everything we ordered was soooo good.
I usually feel heavy after eating breakfast sandwiches, but theirs was exceptional: delicious and super fresh. I was so happy after the meal that I even started shadowboxing outside! 🥊😄
Make sure to order the breakfast burritos! They are absolutely delicious!
We’ll definitely be back. Very, very well done to the chefs and the owners! 👏“

“This place feels like home. I decided to do a day trip to Philly from NY and I’m so happy I came across this cafe. The lady at the front is so warm and welcoming. The decor, books, and couches make you want to stay there for a while. To top it off, the drinks are amazing!! I had the honey cinnamon latte and it was PERFECT!! Not too sweet or overwhelmed with cinnamon. I’d love to visit again!“

“I’d eat a dirty shoe if it was between two slices of the rosemary focaccia. I have been have trouble deciding between the BLP and the Chipotle Chicken Club so I’ve started getting both (BLP for breakfast and CCC for lunch). The food is incredible, but somehow still lives in the shadow of the service. Some environments just don’t allow negative energy and this is one of them. You walk in and are immediately greeted by the friendly owner and the smell of fresh coffee and some cheddar biscuits/coffee crumble cake. Not sure if I misheard but I’m pretty sure someone ordered a Rosemary Latte…. I didn’t know that was a thing, but I plan on investigating next time I go in. 10 out of 5 stars for sure!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“*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“

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

“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.“

“The Love. was simply incredible! We came here with our 6 year old son. Our waiter was fabulous and very accommodating to our 6 year old which you don’t always find in Rittenhouse. The atmosphere was light and airy and the food was great! Make sure to try their Dubai Chocolate Sundae and if you’re going with children they do have special kids cups and will accommodate the menu for them.“

“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!“

“By far the best Vietnamese iced coffee in the city. Really incredible. I order this a few times a week. Their breakfast sandwiches and wraps are spectacular. I enjoy the bacon egg and cheese on a kieser roll I highly recommend both. The ceasar wrap is also great. One of My favorite coffee and sandwich shops around Philly.“

“It's so nice having a coffee house that's open later...Philly needs more of these.
On Thusdays they're open until 10pm!

Chapterhouse has been a favorite for years. So much space, varied sections, friendly staff. Get the hot chocolate!“

“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 this coffee shop. They are local, female owned, female empowering, accepting, kind, funny! I’m not a coffee regular but regular enough that they know my dog, who isn’t fond of other dogs and so nice about it! They make great coffee, source locally for baked goods cheese products all kinds of stuff. I truly can’t say enough kind things about Becca and this business she’s built. Support small biz and come love on Sunday girl. It’s about the positive vibrant community energy!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“try the tomato bisque..omg“

“This place deserves 6 stars. We have tried every fresh smoothie spot in Old City and this was hands down the best. In addition we got a fresh panini sandwich which was packed full of quality meat and cheese on fresh bread. Everything was so good and we will definitely be back!“

“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.“

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

“Love the breakfast basket!“

“The atmosphere was warm, welcoming and comfortable. I recommend the dumplings, they are amazing and their Tea was extremely good. I made sure to get more to take home.“

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