“Lulu’s casita is the best place , my kids love this place !!!“

“If you know what to order, you’re fine. I’m no fan of the breakfast sandwiches and one tasteless cheeseburger I’ve gotten before. But if you stick to soup & chicken fingers: you can’t go wrong. I try to go here for fingers at least once a week“

“I am from Tucson AZ. I can honestly say some of the front desk women haven't been the nicest to me and then I spoke with Val from membership services. He changed my opinion because he showed kindness! I have a few health issues no one would help me with and he did! He was understanding and even thru the phone you could hear the smile on his face. You need more people like him! Give the guy a raise! In AA we say it's attraction not promotion" he is attracting people with his kindness and service. I almost left but he made it easier for me and for that I am grateful! Thank you Lifetime for hiring him and his enthusiasm! I still wish the pool was filled with more water tasted less salty and scrubbed the dirt off but other then that a great place and thank goodness for Val!“

“Drove up from Harford County, MD. Upscale cafe’. Well oiled machine. Fantastic food. The staff is great, especially SABRINA. She’s dynamic, genuine and interactive. We will be back!“

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

“Gran Caffe L’Aquila has a beautiful atmosphere and some genuinely excellent products. The latte was expertly made with gorgeous latte art, and both the coffee and gelato were absolutely delicious. You can tell they take pride in the quality of what they serve.
Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the food and drinks. Most of the staff came across as dismissive and unfriendly, which took away from what could have been a wonderful experience.
The only one exception to this was Luca, who was welcoming, professional, genuinely kind, and knowledgeable. He made us feel appreciated as guests and stood out in the best way possible.
At the end of the day, hospitality is about making people feel welcome.
The rest of the team could certainly take note. If the level of service matched the quality of the coffee and gelato, this would easily be a five-star experience.“

“Amazing pastries and coffee! Came in for a quick bfast and enjoyed lots of new flavors.“

“Whatever you’ve heard, this place is better. Beautiful building, wonderful staff, unique menu. The execution is absolutely incredible. They have the best breakfast sandwich AND the best coffee I’ve ever had.
This is not a place that got IG famous because they’re quirky. Every menu item is well thought out and approachable without being boring.
Absolutely worth your time and money. Try everything!“

“This place is unreal. I ordered the bulgogi banh mi and breakfast burrito to go. I was blown away by how delicious the food was. Best burrito and banh mi ever. The coconut matcha was legit too. Unfortunately, I don’t live here. I’m so jealous of Philly locals!“

“These folks cater our office lunches a couple of weeks a month and everything i've had has been outstanding. From cold sandwiches to hot meals I've yet to have anything that wasn't awesome. I especially love their southwestern pasta salad. Great people, I highly recommend checking this place out“

“Some of the best black coffee I’ve had! I’m originally from Illinois. While the cafes I’ve been to in that state are good, this place didn’t water it down, and I didn’t even ask for strong black coffee like I normally would in Illinois. Very polite people! Got my drink in like a minute or two. Went well with my walk around the area!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The food and atmosphere were amazing but Henry and his crew were the best part. They were an immense blessing in what could be a stressful day.“

“My husband and I stopped in here for the first time tonight. The milkshakes are insane and super thick! The mousse was delicious and had toppings throughout the cup, not just on top! People working were awesome, so nice. We'll definitely be frequenting this location for the summer!“

“Came here with friends after England vs Norway; it made the night even better. The pistachio chocolate cake was delicious, my friends loved it too. The service was amazing with complimentary watermelon and Turkish tea. We look forward to coming back in the future.“

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

“The lavender espresso latte is enough to earn the 5 stars, but the service was also exceptional. Everyone was so kind to my almost 2 year old daughter and it really made my day. I already told my husband I need to bring him here with us next time!“

“I love Adelie Coffee House. The coffee is simply delicious! It's rich, smooth, aromatic, soothing - like a warm blanket fresh out of the dryer. I've only tried the cheese danish. It was very good. The baristas are great - all of them. The coffee house itself is bare bones, yet clean and cozy. You have the option to sit outside if you like. I'm so glad this little gem is right down the street from my house.💜“

“Food and coffee were delicious! Definitely recommend“

“great place good vibes good food great customer service“

“Always have great food & service💕 😋“

“So excited to have discovered this gem, enjoyed a lovely al fresco lunch on the patio. The food all looked so incredible and fresh, was hard to pick - we got the chicken gyro and falafel pitas. Super fresh ingredients and friendly service. Was so affordable and fast. 12/10 would recommend!“

“This bread was absolutely divine! Incredibly moist and delicious, the aroma of freshly baked bread drew me inside the bakery. I couldn’t resist and ordered the brioche with coffee. It was simply superb! The cinnamon cake was absolutely delicious!“

“Finally, a talented chef cooking healthy food in Philly! Whole foods, grass-fed, grass-finished ingredients, and you can tell by who eats here. A triumphantly masculine man walked in after us with his beautiful wife, kids, and mother—and he clearly eats here all the time. But the food was the star of the show: delicious, clean, and so good you'd swear your Italian mom made it. A rare find these days.“

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

“This place is AMAZING!!!!! Wilcaf will be the first place I go when I'm back on campus!“
