50 Best Cafes near Stratford

“4/28/26 around 6:10 PM. Wonderful young man taking drive-thru order. Polite and courteous. I could hear and understand him. Loved the BLT meal with the fantastic warm chips. Ordered a Boston Cream doughnut and it was soft and fresh tasting after 6 PM. You won't be disappointed.“

“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.“

“I’ve been getting banh mi from Cafe Cuong for over 15 years, they have the best banh mi in town. However, last time I went in 2025, the young guy at the counter overcharged $5…this is not about the 5 bucks that he try to steal, it’s about even with loyal customers, he’s still trying to to screw over. Really smart running the business..I stop going!“

“Absolutely love Time & Peace Cafe & Gallery! Such a unique, welcoming spot with an eclectic atmosphere, delicious coffee, & genuinely friendly service. I especially love the combination of the café and gallery, it gives the space so much character and makes it feel like more than just a place to grab a coffee or bite. A true Philly gem & highly recommend!“

“Awesome food Fun place First time here as we visit Philadelphia“

“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.“

“Just ate here with my family. The food was amazing, staff was great, the owner was present and gave us good recommendations. The food here is top notch! Will definitely be returning!!!“

“This is very overdue but after this past weekend, I had to take the time to write. This past weekend Dean and his crew catered another party for us. This was the 2nd time and we could not believe the food could be better than it was last October, but it was! The roasted pepper deviled eggs and the lamb meatballs were spectacular. We are a family of chefs and Dean cooks like we would for our own family and friends. Actually, maybe better! Thank you Dean for making our housewarming party so delicious!!!“

“My waiter Chad was awesome“

“I love Matcha Maiko NYC and thought I’d try the one here in Philly. I got the normal matcha latte with 50% sugar, whole milk, and normal ice. The latte itself came out not as dark as I expected, maybe too much milk was added and little matcha. The service was amazing tho, the lady at the counter was really nice and patient as I decided what to get. Aesthetics of the cafe were also great, very minimal and cozy vibes. Overall, I’d come again but maybe sticking with Hojicha“

“try the tomato bisque..omg“

“Best chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie I’ve ever had“

“Beautiful shop, vibe matches the coffee. 10/10 taste /presentation/ barista. A nice stop for coffee truly.“

“Everything was great the iced coffee. The spring and chicken rolls. And for dessert the dubi chocolate and strawberries. Happy hour prices tue-fri 12pm-3pm“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Very good sandwiches and selection.Plus they stock a really good Australian ginger beer.“

“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.“

“I’m so glad this place was recommended to us! The bagels are so fresh and delicious!! The drinks are really good too. Everything we’ve tried so far has been so good. If you haven’t been I definitely recommend.“

“*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“

“We came here during the height of FIFA. Even so, it wasn't that crowded inside. We got the pumpkin & banana bread and the drip coffee. I believe it was the owner that was taking our order; she was very nice! The pumpkin bread was very delicious! There was also a good amount of seating inside, although it looks small from outside. The interior and overall atmosphere of the cafe was very welcoming and relaxing.“

“If you like great coffee, delicious food, friendly owner/staff, whimsical decor, lots of awesome dogs, and good vibes, this is the place for you! If you don't like any of that stuff, then I can't help you. I don't think anyone can.

We are a chaotic bunch (two small kids that wanted to touch everything), but we never felt unwelcome. Had an awesome time here.“

“This place hits all the marks. Good prices, quality food that tastes homemade, and a cozy, comfy vibe.
Also, our hostess+server (I didn’t catch her name but we came at 10am on Tuesday morning) was a literal angel on earth. She was genuinely welcoming and friendly in such a warm way and we all agreed that she’s the best. If I’m ever back in Philly I will definitely be back here.“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“The coffee and lattes are good, and there is a wide variety of teas. The space is large and relatively quiet, which would otherwise make it a good place to sit and work.

Unfortunately, cleanliness is a consistent issue. The tables are often visibly dirty, and wiping them with a wet tissue leaves the tissue brown, which suggests they are not being cleaned thoroughly or frequently enough. The Wi-Fi is also very unreliable. It is frequently slow, unavailable, or repeatedly disconnects.

Overall, it is a nice space with good drinks, but I would not highly recommend it as a place to work unless the cleanliness and W“

“Stopped in for breakfast this past Saturday morning. It's a busy place that takes orders from a kiosk stand next to the register. It can become a lengthy wait as it can take some people a long time to enter their order manually, rather than simply speaking your order to the staff. I had a tall mango matcha latte, egg sandwich on sourdough with cheese, hashbrown and sausage. My husband had a cappuccino and a bec on a bagel. Food was delicious. We didn't have to wait long, at all, for our meal, once we ordered.“

“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!“

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

“Wonderfully crafted artisan style desserts. The mango mousse cakes were pure bliss, I've never had anything like it in my life. The staff were polite and informative and the atmosphere was quiet, delightfully low lighting, and wonderful pastries and desserts.“

“Folks were reading and sketching at the tables when I arrived. This cafe has a really comfortable setup, lots of natural light and a good amount of room between the seating, which is appreciated. It’s a nice way to transition from the workday.“

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

“If you love fresh juice 🥤🍎🍍 you HAVE to try Stephanie’s Creations Juice & Coffee Bar ✨ Everything is made fresh and tastes amazing 😋💛“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“We went there to try their coffee options and buy some merch with their name on it since my son and daughter-in-law just had our first grandbaby and named her Loretta ❤ so of course we wanted a T-shirt and hat and stickers with her name on it 😉
It's also so close to Penn's Landing and it kicked off a nice morning stroll down by the water.“

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