50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Bryn Mawr

“I see a lot of negative reviews and I would like to share my experience. I’ve been to Turning Point in Blue Bell and had a wonderful experience therefore I decided to give Bryn Mawr a shot. I ordered breakfast and a lunch for myself to be delivered at work. I thought the delivery duration was reasonable, the fees weren’t over the top expensive through GrubHub, and knowing that I have been to the restaurant previously, the cost was reasonable as well. My breakfast came delicious and HOT which was a surprise to me considering it was for delivery. I would suggest toasting the English muffin a little longer but otherwise delicious.

Additionally I ordered a salad for lunch- Crispy chicken salad with peppercorn ranch. Upon opening the large container (can get 2 meals out of it !!!) I absolutely LOVED how they sliced up all ingredients and had them perfectly placed! The sliced vegetables are the real reason for this review !

I hope this review will help future customers.“

“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“

“We had a great breakfast, want to thank Denise for taking extra care of our little one.“

“The staff work so well together. The food was delicious and came in VERY generous portions. Well done to all who run the "new" Muffins!“

“the food and the crew they have working there are unbelievable. great home cooking and the staff is entertaining ...its like like brunch and a show Love this place 😍“

“Tons of coffee options and different flavors that you can mix & match, breakfast sandwiches are made to order. The sandwiches are a bit on the pricier side but usually big enough that I split them into 2 meals. If you go on a weekend or holiday I suggest ordering ahead on their website, I was quoted 25-30 min when I ordered at the counter on a Sunday.“

“This is a great little breakfast and lunch spot. I have had breakfast here and it is excellent. The eggs, toast and hash browned potatoes are done just right. Nice size portion of potatoes too. The lady who takes the order is nice. She always repeats back my order to make sure she got it correctly. Coffee is self serve and they let you get a refill. They serve Korean lunch dishes and dumplings which I plan to try very soon!“

“I’ve been searching Philly for years for something that came close to my beloved San Diego breakfast burritos. Nothing out here came close. Throwing eggs and meat in a tortilla seems easy enough, but trust me, out west burritos are an art form. Well, my dream came true today at Vinnie’s. Mouthwatering ingredients, perfect consistency 😍 after finding this place my burrito consumption is probably gonna go up like 1000%. Thanks Vinnie! 😅“

“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.“

“Such a phenomenal place for breakfast, containing a large variety of breakfast foods such as pancakes, french toast, waffles, eggs, and more. Nice variety of coffees and lattes as well. They have lunch, but it’s a small menu, but it’s all homemade dishes which is definitely a good thing. The interior is fun, having many different pictures and nic nacs of old timey trends and fads. Very good location as well, being right near the train station.“

“An exceptional breakfast with attentive, polite service and unbelievably affordable food. Love that there are options to just get one pancake, one slice of French toast, et cetera. Fresh pressed orange juice. Clean and immaculate everywhere you look. Couldn’t ask for a better breakfast spot!“

“I don't know what's going on with the one star ratings but they seem fake.

I ordered 3 times from Graduate Breakfasts. Pancakes with Nutella on a delivery order; they were fantastic The pancakes were cooked perfectly and the sides of meat were fresh and hot. The portions are on the large side which is great for me because I like a big breakfast.
The next delivery was a bunch of dishes for my friends and I to recover from the night before and they did the job we all felt great and refreshed and rejuvenated after eating these yummy plates. Nomx100.

Lastly, I had was a spontaneous chicken salad sandwich as I was walking by. Even this everyday-type-sandwich was very tasty and anything but mundane. It was seasoned perfectly and not dry and the bread was fresh so was the produce.

So don't believe the fake reviews. You can tell by their equally lame fake names and identical content. (e.g. Justin Case. So unimaginative,like the post)

This place is a gem. The food is fresh, tasty and fulfilling. Meals of this caliber can only be prepared by people who care about the food.

I just love good food. Period.

*I didn't rate the atmosphere because it's delivery or take out so that's not really applicable here.“

“Wow this place has amazing food, it's incredibly affordable, and it has a pretty nice vibe. You have to try it I recommend. Like you only need 12 bucks and you can buy anything on the menu. Also the atmosphere makes you feel like your on a bar in a movie. It's amazing trust me.

Parking: It's great.

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu.“

“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!“

“I stopped in here for the first time this morning. The staff was very friendly and sat with me to take my order. It was very nice. The restaurant does not serve pork, so do not worry if you have restrictions. Non-meat fare is available as well. I thought the food was good and the potatoes were well seasoned. I recommend trying this place and would return“

“I was just down there for breakfast and it was great!! One of the best omelettes I’ve ever had. I’ll be back.“

“A great hidden spot for brunch. This was our first time here and we would definitely come by again! The food was great, with my personal favorites being the breakfast sandwich and waffles. The food also came by quickly and the portions were generous too.“

“Food was amazing place is fantastic. Service was great!“

“I’m having such a wonderful experience here today on Monday, May 1, 2023 My server who’s named China is fantastic and the food is amazing“

“If you need a hot made to order meal that is filling, stop by this lil spot. No dine in option and cash only but you get the bang for the buck. You can call in an order as well. Had to get a Philly n fries which was pretty good. They serve breakfast as well. The servings are decent size and they make sure you get all your condiments.“

“We loved it, in fact we returned a second time. Generous portions, wide choice and very modest prices. The service was excellent, the staff was always nice and attentive to our requests. From the outside you wouldn't give it a penny, but if you're in the area it's really worth stopping by for breakfast, you won't regret it! :)“

“Great waitress Gina, not all as nice. She makes it worth the ride from Philly. Keep up the good work.“

“Spent over an hour trying to find a place still serving breakfast good thing because we found this little diamond in the rough. It's an absolute gem old school diner feel great service. The older Korean lady behind the counter made us feel like family food was delicious. Will be returning. Thank you for such a great experience“

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

“This is one of the better egg sammies I've had, and I really enjoyed the pulled pork hashbrowns. Very friendly service. A bit hard to find, but will definitely return, and I want to try the BBQ.“

“I stopped by for a quick bite with friends. This restaurant was quite busy, but I didn't wait long. As a first time customer, I suppose the number of people was because their food was as good as mine. As a former restaurant worker, they must have a strong team to pull a big crowd and handle it with ease.

Kid-friendliness: This local restaurant is great for any age.

Wheelchair accessibility: Roll easily into the restaurant and find a spot at one of several tables.“

“These guys are one of the best delis around, consistent products, friendly service, and tasty food for low prices. It doesn't get better than this. I have bought over 100 sandwiches from them and they are more consistent than any fast food place. It's delicious every time.“

“They are literally so sweet. I ordered the same order today that I did yesterday (they were out of spinach yesterday). They remembered me and went out their way to call me and let me know they have spinach today and can add it to my order. ?? Ive also been ordering from them for a while now since I’ve lived in west Philly the past 3-4 years and they’ve never disappointed me. Whatever yall are doing, keep doing it!!!“

“I want to Thank the gentleman who greeted us as soon as we arrived, I apologize for not getting his name, you were wonderful and addressed the issue of my 5 year old grandson who has severe egg and nut allergies. He promptly notified our server as well as kitchen staff to the danger of cross contamination. Everyone was aware and so kind, the service was excellent as well as the food.
Thank You to everyone there today

“They have the best coffee and the best breakfast in Delco! Love this place!!!“

“Very busy Sunday crowd. Sat at the 4 person counter. Excellent service and the food was delicious. The home fries with the "Special" Acapulco omelet were very good & well cooked. The coffee was excellent too. Highly recommend you try this place!

Parking: Quick service!“

“As my kids would say, “their food was bussin” ??everything was good especially the eggs. And thts very important. ?French toast with the butter and syrup was crack! ?You’ll slap ur momma okay???And sis blessed my French toast and my daughters pancakes with the powder sugar…my gawd?? she made our morning?. Were in here scraping the bottom of the platter honey!!!! Also great customer services, even when I wasn’t buying anything. The beautiful yung lady with the short cut helped me out. I could not have thanked her enough. I’ll be back for sure.“

“Nice owner, lovely atmosphere, good food.“

“Let's start off with the fact that the food is made fresh along with pack with flavor. The homemade drinks are sooooo delicious. Hold they got food for whatever mood you are in. When I say the food is soooo good it had me dancing while eating my food and crying because my food was gone. It's OK my New favorite place. Oh yeah and they are affordable..“

“I thoroughly enjoy my dining experience at this location. No matter how busy it is my food always comes out hot and fresh. I never have to wait long to be seated or served. The host and waiters are very pleasant I definitely will be returning. Compared to the Springfield location this is very cozy and intimate setting. There is free parking outside the restaurant and across the way if the spots filled up. I try and capture pictures prior to eating sometimes it’s hard 🤣“

“Been come here for forever Justin use to have the music pumping but haven't seen him I hope all is well but the breakfast always on a bean very welcoming wife and husband always welcoming an greeting with a smile great homestyle breakfast“

“The food is tasty, and the prices are very reasonable. For a little over $8, I got a platter of scrambled eggs, pork bacon, and cheese grits. Toast comes with it - they have both white and wheat bread - If it was extra, it was only by a dollar or so.
They used to have multiple tables that you could sit and eat at, but not anymore. The back of the restaurant looks like they're renovating, so those tables are not there. That is the only reason I didn't give the atmosphere 5 stars. However, there is one long table up front. There are no chairs, but on it are the various condiments: ketchup, maple syrup, salt and pepper, hot sauce, etc. My fiancé and I didn't want to eat on the train we were waiting to catch, so we ate at that same long table. Standing up and eating was the better option than trying to eat on a fast-moving train and/or bus.
Staff is very friendly and accommodating.“

“We had a recent event catered by Karla and the food was fresh and delicious as always! Highly recommend!!“

“When I say I’m going back and I’m bringing my kids this time. My kids and I have been here for two years and never heard of the place. Such a gem! The French Toast was DELICIOUS and the grits and eggs were perfect!!! The service was so good! Definitely going back there VERY soon!“

“I haven't been in a few years..but the service was great just as I remembered. I love the mom and pop feel and my breakfast platter was delicious.

Parking: There are meters but I placed my order and sat in my car until my order was ready.“

“Food is good! This was my first time in the store to pick up my food and the customer service could’ve been better .. there was no one in line when I went in but the young lady took about 6 minutes before she waited on me, another lady asked me was. There for pick up and that’s when the young lady at the register said something to me to take my payment…“

“Being as though I lived in this neighborhood my entire life, I can say that I have never seen this business fall off. They have been a staple since I was young and more than likely beyond that.

The food is the exact type of breakfast food you are looking for. Nothing is over cooked or over seasoned. The food is so good, I find it hard to eat the entire platter at times. It is located in the Strawberry Mansion neighborhood, so the environment may not be appealing to some. However, there is no denying or questioning their food and the quality.

Parking: The store is located on a corner. The only place you can't park are the bus stops. However, you can park across the street, behind the bus stops, and along the side the diner.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs to enter, simply a small ramp. Additionally, tables are low and you can rearrange them to fit your needs.“

“I love their breakfast very yummy, I go to them prolly twice a week in the morning ! Cheesesteaks are so goood, love the meat they are using . Service is always good when i go there, definitely love the new owners and love that their are black!“

“A great luncheonette in South Philly with that old school feeling. Miss eating at the counter but such is the life in the world of Covid. The staff is always nice and the food is always good. Went for breakfast sandwiches today and wasn't disappointed!“

“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)“

“Nothing really everything is good“

“love their breakfast. best home fries“

“22-Apr-2022 breakfast: My friend and i bumped into this place while getting lost. Got the egg, cheese, bacon sandwich. Two light & fluffy scrambled eggs with cheese melted in (not just a hunk of cheese laying there), and like three pieces of perfectly cooked bacon on toasted wheat bread, then wrapped in wax paper and cut in 1/2. Would have been a great deal at 2x the price. Lady was friendly and patient w/ my questions. Easy to see why others love this place but sorry to hear others had bad experiences. We ate in the car while parked in the Wells Fargo carpark across the street. Not sure if it was the beautiful weather or just sharing time w/ a friend but this was the best breakfast i had in many moons. Bumping into this place wasn't destiny- just more proof that the universe is entangled.“
