“Took my granddaughters to Tim Hortons. It was jam packed. Both the drive through and the indoor had a line outside and down the sidewalk. We wanted to try the food. Needless to say I see why everyone loves the food there. Everything is made fresh therefore is very delicious. My granddaughters loved the donuts and smoothies. I love the breakfast food. ?“

“I needed custom cookies to celebrate my Dad’s One Year Kidneyversary (1 year since I donated a kidney to him). I asked for recommendations on Nextdoor and Sweet Talk was one of them. Their IG was so cute that I messaged them right away. They were quick to respond and was able to get them done with less than a weeks notice. They are sooooooooo goood! I could not be happier. While I picked them up, I treated myself to a Ghost Latte and a cheese danish. Both AMAZING! 10000/10 recommend this place. For specialty needs or just for a nice little treat!“

“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...“

“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“

“*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!

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“They have delicious smoothies and acai bowls! Super happy they're finally open! The owners are so sweet and worth supporting!“

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

“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“

“friendly staff, yummy food, cool view! Had a great time with the kids!“

“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.“

“You will thank yourself after enjoying the best hot chocolate in the world!“

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

“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“

“Had the salmon, rice, beans and vegetables today and it was delicious! I normally don't like beans but they were scrumptious! Definitely worth every penny!“

“Excellent this was a great experience and the food was delicious!!!!“

“I was in from out of town and ordered online to pickup. My order was ready on time. The breakfast sandwich was really big and clearly freshly made. I am a coffee snob and their salted caramel toffee iced latte was one of the best lattes I've ever had!“

“I ordered the Whitman park, fabulous!“

“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 enjoyed the centers staff everyone was friendly and curteous during their events. It is in a great location with a lot to offer.“

“Tee,the owner was so nice to us. It was my wife's birthday and she gave her some ice cream and pastry. Also to my son and I. The ice cream had a coating to it so I don't know the proper name. The Tad Phai was excellent along with the veggie and pork rolls. Next time we are trying the red and green Curry. This is a must visit. Don't let the size of the restaurant fool you.“

“This place embodies minimalist. Coffee at its purest. Friendly barista, worth stopping for a cup!“

“Fresh & organic, reasonable price.“

“We took our 11 year old son to the Musuem as he is a huge Revolutionary War buff. Being newly diagnosed as Celiac, we cautioned him that we may not be able to find anything "safe" to eat as a quick snack in the cafe. Much to our astonishment, the menu board offered several options of gluten free items, as well as a section on a shelf of gluten free snacks. Price was expected given the location, but his excitement at eating a gluten free personal pizza was well worth it. We alerted the woman at the counter that he had celiac and she was extremely careful to ensure no cross contamination - and he didn't get sick! Thank you for offering these gluten free items and for making an amazing musuem experience end in an even more positive way!“

“This is our first time ordering on-line from You Cha Cafe. We were greeted by a very friendly couple. Our order was there waiting for us. All the ingredients in the Poke Bowls were very fresh and delicious. Glad to know a convenient place for great bowls. We will definately recommend.“

“Great coffee drinks and really fantastic bagels. Warm service. Wish I lived closer.“
