“This is a relatively new brunch place in South Philly. Well it says brunch place but it is definitely good for lunch and dinner as well.

I'm getting the same vibe as brunch places back in Indonesia here.

I ordered Nasi Uduk and Kopi Gula Aren. Both stays true to the authentic recipe and portion is generous.

Will definitely go back when I'm back in South Philly.“

“Obsessed with this place. I got the avocado sunshine this morning and it may be my favorite breakfast dish in Philly. The pickled onions on this amazing bread with avocado and topped with a perfectly cooked egg was so freaking good. Great coffee too. Every meal I’ve gotten here has been amazing (their banana bread is so good fyi) but this was the best. I love this place so much!“

“We found this super cute restaurant while visiting Philly. I absolutely loved the ambiance. Small but cute atmosphere.

So happy we stopped by!“

“From the time I decided To walk in and get a pastry and something hot to drink, I was in love with it. It’s my favorite place to go to after work with friends. It’s a nice place to unwind and pull out your laptop and work as well. Love the Hot dog donut!!!! And the brownies.“

“Today I stopped at The Hungry A. I have driven buy there many times. As I walked in the owners and people in there all greeted me like they know me. I had a coffee and it was one of the best I ever had. The breakfast sandwich was delicious. I will be be back. But what really got to me I walk with a cane and one of the girls there saw I was having a hard time she came around the counter and took what I was carrying and helped me to my car. Today there are not many people that are kind as she was. It made me know that there is still kind people in this world. If every would take the time to be kind to someone just once maybe it could be a start to make this world just a little better“

The staff is incredibly polite, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers.

If you’re looking for amazing home-style cooking and a warm, friendly atmosphere, this is the place. Don’t sleep on this spot — it’s a true treasure tucked away in the city!“

“Four of us went for brunch today ~ not one complaint. Loved our server and the food was delicious.“

“I absolutely love their breakfast! I've been coming here for well over 10 years. The staff is friendly, the service is fast. I'm a scrapple guy. They do the diner cut, crunchy outside and a fully cooked soft inside. Just, make sure to bring cash and you will not regret coming here. Keep up the great work, my friends.“

“The breakfast at God Day Deli in Philadelphia was fantastic! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care. The portions were generous, the food came out quickly, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. A great spot for a delicious and satisfying breakfast in Philadelphia. Highly recommended!“

“Found this place in passing. My friend wanted a bacon egg and cheese on a Kaiser roll. I saw while she was making and wrapping it and it looked hearty! I didn't get a picture because it was devoured 🤣😂 or inhaled but that speaks for itself. I will be going back and will remember to take a picture because eating! Thank you!!“

“I went to The Coffee Station again for breakfast on Sunday and had a great experience. The food was good, but what really stood out was our waitress, Denise. She’s like an old-time waitress in the best way—friendly, attentive, and she makes you feel truly appreciated. She goes above and beyond and makes the whole place feel like home. I don’t go out very often these days because of the economy, but I make it a priority to come here when Denise is working. She turns an ordinary meal into an experience worth going out for.“

“Love trying out new Diners and "First Watch" has not disappointed me yet! Don't think they could, actually. My 2nd visit, this morning, They prepared a Scrambled egg w/Cheese & Spinach, Chicken sausage patty, topped with sliced Avocado on toasted multi-grain bread. Can you say yummmm😋👍🏽🌞 oh, and I left with their "Watermelon, Pineapple, Lime and Mint Refreshing Drink...Cool and delicious💛“

“Easily in the top two for French toast! The other place is in Royersford. Now living in Florida, can’t get a decent French toast. Miss this place!“

“Love the Breakfast“

“Great environment. Have been a regular here for over 6 years. Familiar family owned business that has community relationship ties, good service, exquisite food with and friendly clean atmosphere. So comfortable, they know my order by name. Great part to start my workday. The waffle hit different. 🤷‍♂“

“Found this place about a month ago, and realized it is my local walk to spot! And they've been around for over 30 years! Could not be happier! Been there twice so far, quick and friendly service. The food, simply amazing! I like grits, but often they're either too runny or too thick...finding those perfect goldilock grits is difficult... Train stops grits are just right! Truly the Goldilocks of grits! Awesome place all around, I highly recommend and will definitely be back soon.“

“I can not recommend this restaurant enough. I work super late nights.Tbh knowing I can order this food when I get off has gotten me through several shifts. The food is extremely consistent and amazing everytime. You’re missing out if you don’t eat here“

“A mom and pop joint with a kind and clearly smart business woman! At first I was like dagggggg pricey but then I see she gives huge portions and is creative with ingredients. She multitasks and we will definitely be back for pancakes! She also cooks the meat separately so another plus. Just get some ice lol great food!“

“Delicious!!!!! Great service, great food! Happened upon this gem while waiting at a local dealership. Highly recommend!“

“Place is absolutely slept on! Easy to park or even walk to and the food is incredible. It looks like a random hole in the wall but the food is anything but. Everything is made to order, incredibly fresh and so tasty. Employees are very kind and make customizing easy too. Cannot wait to go again! As you can see from menu photo, they’re also super affordable.“

“The best crepes in the Philadelphia area, as far as I can tell. Great coffee and ice cream, too. Tucked away in Elkins Park, but very much worth discovering.“

“Cookie dough French toast was out of this world!!! Definitely recommend!!!!“

“Have you experienced the new Summer menu yet? Maybe you tried this restaurant on a busy Saturday morning and the long wait for a table then is preventing you from exploring the menu now? This month is a perfect time to visit again - many local customers are off from school, or off on vacation. So wait times are short, while the summer first watch menu is awesome. Enjoy! (It’s always a good idea to use the first watch app to check in, just in case everyone else has also decided this is the perfect time to visit)“

“Karla catered a baby shower for us and the food was absolutely delicious and was presented beautifully!! Everyone kept saying how much they loved it! Karla is wonderful to work with. She has a true gift and I highly recommend her! Natalie brought and set up the food and was our server. She was wonderful!“

“Great breakfast. Lots of choices. Friendly staff. Crispy hashbrowns, good cappuccino, and eggs with avocado. Hubby tried the carrot cake french toast. He said it was good with not an overwhelming flavor of carrot cake. One note; Small tables & big plates don’t work well, so if there’s more than two people get a booth. Will be returning!“

“Recently, was looking for a breakfast spot with grits. The grits were creamy and delicious even after sitting awaiting for me to pick up my food. My main dish was chicken and waffles. Lee's Belgian waffle came with a side of powdered sugar to sprinkle atop your buttered and syrup covered waffles. I savored every sweet, semi- cake bite.“

“Mrs. Monique provided amazing customer service at Wonder. She was welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind from start to finish. Her positive attitude and attention to customers made the experience stand out, and it’s clear she takes pride in her work. Employees like Mrs. Monique are the reason customers keep coming back she is a true pleasure to the Wonder experience.“

“I read all the positive reviews and had to check it out for myself. I have always found it difficult to find something as simple as a good breakfast place. But this time i found it! The second I walked in, I was impressed. The hostess greeted me immediately and with a smile. I asked if I should order now and she smiled and explained that she'd take my order and she'll bring it to me. It was very pleasant. The store itself is clean and bright. I ordered two eggs medium, sausage patties,home fries with peppers and onions, rye toast with a little butter and a medium coffee. Everything was made exactly as I ordered it. The portions were generous and the coffee was great. Thirteen bucks for all that. Perfect. I'll be back.“

“Great South Philly Spot. Call ahead and have your order ready for pickup, eat in, delivery, etc.. This Guy Does it All? Traditional subs, cheese steaks, breakfast, sandwiches, etc. VERY REASONABLE PRICES!!!!
I had the Homemade Half Pound Burger it was cooked to perfection with a FRESH South Philly Italian style kesier roll. Two of us ate and shared a standard order of hot Crispy steak fries with drinks under $20...
Where have all the spots like this gone?????“

“I have lived in Havertown my whole life, and I had never been here before. I’m so glad I finally gave it a try. I tend to get the chicken salad when I eat out, and I would rate their chicken salad sandwich a 9+ out of 10! Great flavor and consistency plus the sandwich was packed and overflowing, without being messy. I had to take half home with me. One of the best I’ve ever had! The service was very good, the interior was clean and bright, and prices were on par with most other places. I will definitely be going here again instead of Nudy’s to try some of their other lunch and breakfast items.“

“I'm not home often enough to really enjoy Good Hatch, but when I do...watch out! Typical breakfast fare that's packed with flavor and always consistent.
I almost always order the hungry man. It's well worth the starting price of $15.50 (as of this review). With that you get 2 eggs, 2 meats, 2 pancakes, and homefries.
For today, I upgraded to the french toast for $1more.
Everything is seasoned and cooked well. The scrambled eggs today were cooked a little hard but they were still good. The food was ready when I arrived but there was a little confusion so it took a few minutes, and even with my walk home, the food was still hot (maybe 10 minutes after being ready).
The bacon and sausage were cooked to perfection. and the french toast? OMG. The challah bread is perfect choice and whatever was done to give the outside that nice little caramelization was incredible.
I mean....this was breakfast and lunch, and I still dont want dinner.“

“Food won’t wow you but is really good especially for a chain breakfast/lunch spot. Prices were reasonable. Service was to the point and not over the top. Food came out fairly quickly.
We had two options from the spring specials menu: the BEC (4/5) and the bacon Cheese Corn Bread (5/5)
We also ordered from the regular menu the Power Wrap (4/5) and Cheesy Grits (4/5). Got the pancakes but took them to go (4/5)“

“Best egg cheese & scrapple on a roll that I ever had!!“

“Nothing really everything is good“

“Bread & Butter Philly is my wife’s and my absolute favorite breakfast spot! We order from here every weekend, especially on Sundays, and the food and customer service never disappoint. The staff is always so friendly, and it’s always nice to see Jenny and the team each week. The food is consistently delicious, and it’s always hard to choose between the breakfast platter and breakfast burritos because everything is always on point! Definitely one of the best breakfast spots in Philly, where you’re always greeted with a smile! Highly recommend Bread & Butter Philly!“
