“the food was delicious and the service was GREAT IN MY TONY THE TIGER VOICE“

“We just found this place a month ago and we've stopped in 3 times.The donut flavors range from unique flavors like sesame, to standard flavors like glaze and in between you'll discover flavors you are familiar with like churro or funnel cake in donut form.The donuts are good. Really good. The donuts are light and have a unique blend of sweetness, flavor, and texture that is not prevalent in other donut shops. The sweetness is balanced well by the dough, frosting, and flavors so while you may look at a particular flavor and think it will be too sweet and too sugary it's never overpowering. I really enjoy getting a thai milk tea to go along with my donuts.The proprietors seem aware that some guests may not be familiar with the wide range of drinks and food that they provide. Instead of the feeling of entering a store to make a transaction it has a familiar feeling visiting someone's home. You aren't there to make a transaction but to learn and enjoy something that the hosts want to share with you.I'm really glad we found this place.“

“Il Sorriso is a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of the city. The moment you step in, you're greeted by the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff make it the perfect spot to unwind or catch up with friends. Their espresso is bold and flavorful, and their pastries are delectable. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or just looking for a relaxing atmosphere, Il Sorriso never disappoints.“

“Love The Kettle Black! Amazing vegan croissants, bagels & other treats! Their cold brew is always on point! Super friendly and talented folks!“

“I think this might be my favorite café on the east coast?Every once in a while I stumble upon a coffee gem randomly and that’s exactly what happened on this Philly trip.Ordered a pour over and asked the staff to make me whatever they suggest. I was not expecting to have one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. When the staff mentioned, “notes of bergamot,” I didn’t take him seriously but my mind was seriously blown on the first sip. Never had that flavor in a coffee before (I drink and try a lot of coffee) and I’ve been thinking about it for the past week. Loved it so much, had to order something else.Also got a cinnamon roll because I saw people loved it. Thought it was good, but also thought it was like any other laminated pastry LOL will probably order it again though.What I loved about the staff was their knowledge and interest in coffee. In fact, I just went to a cafe in nyc hoping for the same experience. Ordered a coffee tasting flight, but got no explanation about what was from where or anything else and kept comparing it to my time at Thank You Thank You.If you love coffee, this is your spot.“

“Have seen a lot of people say “delightful” and that’s an apt description. Family shop that you can tell, but what they’ve built is absolutely a marvel. Beautiful place, tons of coffee options, generous sizes without sacrificing it looking/being nice, food’s great too and rotating and actual thought seems to have gone into it rather than just pumping out 15 different croissants or something.“

“An amazing place. Great way to find unique gifts“

“Clean minimal shop with quality matcha products and great ice cream.Strawberry and earl grey swirl are my current go to after dinner in Chinatown, however it is a seasonal flavor so get it while you can. I’ve also had the hojicha float which was refreshing and had a deep roasted nutty flavor with an edge of bitterness.What I enjoy most about this place is the typical Asian compliment when it comes to dessert “not so sweet”.Surreal is quite trendy but I find myself becoming quickly tired of it due to amount, all the toppings, and just the overall sweetness of the ice cream whereas matcha Maiko has the perfect amount of sweetness to remind you it’s a treat but not to the point where halfway through you feel like need water or tea to tone down the sugar“

“The desserts were delicious. I had two; mango mousse and lychee panna cotta. Both delicious. They both come with ice cream. Service was excellent!“

“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.“

“Located in the heart of Chinatown, another establishment that doesn't take credit cards. Instead payment is via Venmo. So I guess that great since you don't need to pay tax. They have a limited selection of baked goods (see photos) and drinks. Menu is a bit chaotic to read (but this is Chinatown). Baked items are very fresh. Limited seating inside though. Prices are cheap for this economy.“

“i went for the first time and they are very professional people - and lucky me it was on the house - not sure who paid for me and my kids - also restrooms are spotless meaning great place we will return for sure“

“I came here for the first time after an otherwise hectic morning and had such a delightful experience. The coffee and quinoa bowl were delicious and I am obsessed with their HUSKEE drinkware, which is made from recycled coffee husks. Everything about this cafe—from the general vibe to the customer service to the art—makes me want to return, and I look forward to my next visit :).“

“This is really a nice ice cream place. The atmosphere is calm and quiet. The lady that works here is super nice and friendly.. And lastly, the ice cream was really good. You can definitely tell that it's made fresh and with fresh ingredients. You should definitely check this place out. Plus they have lavender ice cream.. Parking: Free parking on the street..“

“Service is both friendly and kind. We ordered an oat latte and an almond milk flat white to stay. We wanted to get pastries but at the time they had none left. I guess they make them little by little throughout the day because they told us more would be ready in twenty minutes or so. The presentation and execution is lovely. And I love the minimalist aesthetic. And there were several outlets available throughout the cafe for patrons doing some work. Plus points for a spacious and clean bathroom!“

“Good coffee and the baristas seem nice and approachable. Not a cafe I would hang out in, but I prefer that it's an easy and friendly grab and go spot. Lots of good drinks and snacks to come back and try. And it's not too expensive which is appreciated. Don't forget to tip too! :)“

“Amazing food, both sweet and savory, delicious drinks and hospitality! The staff is so friendly and nice! We were visiting from out of town and really enjoyed having breakfast here! No photos because nothing lasted long enough for us to take pictures...lol“

“Coming to leave a review because I mistakenly left and forgot to tip! I stopped by while getting an oil change and had my pup with me - couldn’t bring him inside so they kindly took my order and brought it out to me. Such a lovely environment and good coffee- thanks again!“

“incredible service by incredible people“

“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.“

“I revisit Joy Cafe (which is the newest name/incarnation for Soy Cafe) whenever I'm in NoLibs. It always leaves me feeling incredibly healthy and happy. Soy/Joy Cafe is in my top two vegan restaurants in all of Philly. My favorite dish here is the ramen with BBQ seitan. The seitan is just so very tasty. Everything here, from the seitan, to the vegan cream cheese, is homemade. My husband gets the carrot lox sandwich which includes the housemade cream cheeze along with red onions, carrot lox, and more, on many choices of really excellent bread. Don't leave without getting a smoothie! I tend to get the Green Giant, but the Coco Loco is also really yummy. Eat in the back garden on a nice day!“

“An excellent place for breakfast! Went here twice on a long weekend I was in town. Had the biscuits and gravy my first visit and a bagel breakfast sandwich the second visit. Both dishes were excellent, among the best of all the places I dined at during my stay! The service was excellent and friendly as well! Will definitely go here again the next time I am in Philly!“

“The bagel was good, but I am retracing my steps. I was in town visiting and used my debit card at this location and my card got compromised shortly after and someone STOLE money from it. I used their card chip to pay. It wasn't like the machine connected to the register, it was like a portable chip card. Prior, the other only transaction was at Walmart through their machine that is attached to the register. I never used my card locally except those 2 places. I used another card most of my trip. Has this happened to anybody after buying from here? Fraud called me immediately letting me know. I wasn't even aware. If it lets me post a picture, I'll show the company. They were located in [Wilmington] Delaware from what I recall the voice alert saying, so I'm almost certain it was taken from one of these east coast stores. The transaction name was HC*HC_CHARGE HTTPSHONEYCOI. Any help would by consumers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!“

“I’ve walked by this spot so many times, and it seemed every time I was hungry they were closed (closed on weekends) but today I finally stepped in. I ordered 2 bánh mìs and a Vietnamese coffee. Pete, the owner/operator of the spot was the only one there and we instantly jumped into great conversation about the music scene in Philly back in the late 90s. We ended up knowing a lot of the same people. Philly is a tight knit group. So even before eating the food I was already a fan of this spot. Pete served me his special take on Vietnamese coffee while we talked and he made the sandwiches. The iced coffee was excellent, but different and less sweet than Vietnamese coffee I’ve had in the past. He also used ice cubes made of coffee which was an added bonus for a coffee junkie like myself. After we talked for nearly 20 min, I walked home with my sandwich and WOW! Such a solid bánh mì! I told him to make it like he would make it for himself (spicy) and he knocked it out of the park. I’ll be back and I’ll be bringing all my music friends here when they are in the neighborhood. I highly encourage Olde City residents as well as Philly locals to give this place a try!“

“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!! ?“

“Everything prepared with amazing attention to detail. LOVED the oysters with caviar and the house burger is a stand-out!“

“The homemade food here is delicious, there are always a lot of people, I didn’t like one thing - I ordered 2 pieces of cake with me, the seller counted it, went to cut my cake into a container, I saw that it was big and said, excuse me, can I have one piece, she cut two, I I gave one to the other and took it to the shelf and I paid for two pieces, I didn’t like it, I wasn’t pleased, since I don’t speak English well, I couldn’t tell her or explain anything! Yes, it’s not a lot of money, well, you can’t do that ? like this sales girl! I didn’t deduct the second piece of cake from the payment! My husband and I were here, I ordered soup, a vegetarian burrito and 2 salads with tuna, well, they brought one salad and I paid for two salads, so I didn’t wait for my portion of salad, I ate the burrito ? and we left..“

“Tried Tous les Jours for the first time today and will definitely be a repeat customer. Cute, clean and bright ambiance the pastries were reasonably/competitively priced compared to other bakeries and delicious. Great selection and hard to pick just one. Good coffee drinks too. Employees were very friendly and helpful.“

“Excellent coffee and snacks. Wonderful atmosphere. Pleasant and efficient service. A welcome site in Camden“

“Amazing atmosphere! Warm and welcoming owners.“

“Phenomenal macarons! Great selection of flavors. The basil lime was my favorite. The Cruffin was a fun take on a croissant.“

“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.“

“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“

“Amazing desserts! (mousse cakes are a speciality!) Plus savory food and great drinks!“

“Deliciousy Satisfying & great ambiance.“

“I’m so grateful that I discovered this hidden gem! As a conceptual, Black-owned café/curated book store, it's a true treasure for anyone visiting. The owners exude warmth and kindness—they’re so personable! I've had the pleasure of seeing co-owner Terrance engage customers in captivating conversations spanning politics to art. It's not just a café; it's a sanctuary where you can savor a delightful artisanal latte while being productive or mingling with new acquaintances during their vibrant after-hour events. I wholeheartedly recommend it! A wonderful asset to the neighborhood.“

“Alhamdulillah this place serves some of my favorite food and drinks in one place. We had sushi, mocktails, morrocon tea, turkish mix kebab and USA burgers, everything tasted delicious. The staff are friendly. Our family is definitely going to return.“

“We passed by the large “COFFEE” sign on rt-38 many times and finally decided to stop in. It was an EXTREMELY pleasant surprise. We had no idea such a quaint coffee shop with kind owners awaited us. The decor is beautiful with a cozy fireplace. The drinks are incredible. The dark chocolate raspberry latte is arguably the best hot coffee I’ve ever had. Next time you’re thinking of stopping at Starbucks or Dunkin, try Take 5 instead. It’s worth it.“

“Love this place. Great atmosphere and a bit of history. Very cool“

“One of the greatest places in town. Warm atmosphere, friendly staffs, and amazing food. Can't wait to go back ?“

“One of my go-to spots for boba. Drinks are consistently good. Great tea flavor with their milk teas. I wish I could remember her name but there's one worker that it usually the one working when I come. She's been super helpful answering my questions when I'm being indecisive about my order . Location is clean but pretty small with no seating. I like that they have their menu posted off to the side so I can contemplate my order without being in the way.“

“The atmosphere, food and services were impeccable! Highly recommend“

“This boba tea spot was okay to me but I also accredit it to what I ordered. The actual store is very cute and modern and it seems that they are serious about their tea. It also seems very authentic in comparison to a lot of the chain spots you can go to. The line was out the door when I walked in so that's always a good sign. I don't feel like there is a lot of variety in the menu selection so for me that's a bit of a con. I also knocked a star off because they only use whole milk. I feel like in 2024 you should at least have 1 plant based option. I didn't get a milk tea so I think if I did I would have liked it more. I got the passion fruit drink and it was good not much substance I feel like for $7 more like a fruit tea you could probably just get at a fast food restaurant. All and all I would try it again if I was in the area.“

“I recently visited Bagelati for the first time. I ordered a bagel tray online for an event. The tray was ready at pickup time and everyone had nothing but great things to say about the taste and freshness. The cream cheeses were also delicious. I got regular, garlic herb, and vegetable varieties. I do wish there was an everything bagel gluten free option, as I have a gluten sensitivity, but what they do, they do it right!“

“I tried the bergamot latte and it's so refreshing! I've never had this flavor anywhere else which makes this cafe a little different from others. It can be quite small and there's an upstairs with a couple tables. I've seen that they used to have more seating in the past but half the space is a vinyl store, so it can be difficult to find seating. The barista was so friendly and welcoming too!“

“We tried TD for the first time on Monday as my brother was at Jeff for a treatment. We had egg frittata and a breakfast sandwich--both were outstanding. But the star of the show to me at least was my iced cinnamon roll latte. I normally don't go for this type of drink because they always taste like a mouthful of sugar. This had a delicious coffee flavor with just the right balance of milk and sweetness. Obviously these types of beverages are a sweet treat but one does want to taste the coffee. The young women in there keep everything running smoothly and the atmosphere is peaceful and warm. We're happy to have found a new spot.“
