“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.“

“Top notch natas(egg custard tarts!) Amazing bolos de belem(Portuguese style donut) Their breakfast sandwiches are fantastic and their version of a Portuguese classic, the bifana (thinly sliced pork cutlets typically marinated in white wine, garlic, paprika, and lard, served on a soft, crusty bread roll) is outstanding! Staff is also very friendly, highly 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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“try the tomato bisque..omg“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“This place is absolutely amazing! The pastries, bagels, and drinks are delicious! The first time we went to Loretta’s, my friend and I loved it so much that we came back a couple days later to get a whole box of pastries before heading home to Ohio.“

“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!“

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

“The French Press is such an adorable spot! It truly transports you to a countryside feel right on Main Street. The aesthetics and vibe alone make it worth visiting, but the almond croissant is a must try! The pastries are fresh and delicious, and I thoroughly enjoyed my coffee. Indoor seating is limited, so I sat outside, which was perfect on a beautiful day. It can get busy, with a constant flow of people indoors, but overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time here! I did not feel rushed to give up my table.“

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

“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.“

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