50 Best Cafes near Fort Washington

“The only critique I would have is that they need a better roll for the steak sandwich and it needs to be gutted. Now saying that I prefer the texture on the outside of the role to be different than the inside of the role. The roll feels like I’m eating white bread with seeds. But other than that, everything is delicious. I do not want to discourage you from getting the cheesesteak because it’s so good. I’ve had it several times! Like I said just prefer a different roll. The owner is very personable and besides the food bringing you back, you want to go back because of the owner.“

“This place was very good. This was our first time coming here. We had a very short wait which was a welcome surprise since it was a Saturday around noon. My son had the red velvet pancakes and liked it (he said 4/5). I had the braised beef Benedict and it was awesome. Great flavor and eggs were poached perfectly. Service was definitely 100%. Never waited for anything. You can tell all the people working here care. I highly recommend this place for a great brunch. I will be back for sure!!“

“I have enjoyed this place since it opened! The staff is magnificent. They are personable and take care of you! The atmosphere is wonderful. It is a wood decor. There is not a lot of seating inside, but there is ample seating outside. There is a good size parking lot (approximately 15 spots) and more parking right out front. The food and coffee is wonderful!The lattes are not extremely sweet of the syrups I get. This is a preference of mine real and strong coffee locally roasted!“

“1. The food is delightful and worth the try.2. Drinks were pretty good, especially for non coffee drinkers.3. For the Banh Mi and Sando, the bread was crisp and airy. All the ingredients were fresh and delicious. The Sando has an onion aioli that is slightly overpowering (for my personal preference).4. The service was nice and friendly.5. The atmosphere is very homey and welcoming. Nice place eat and hang out with your friends and family.“

“A hidden jewel for good coffee nestled in Old Rittenhouse Town, Wissahickon Park. (A Beautiful area to hike or mountain bike (two separate trails) or walk your dog ). It is a coffee shop and bike shop. The surprise was the quality and freshness of the coffee. My Americano was delicious. The beans were freshly ground, and the cup was Full of flavor. The young gentleman that served me (and my dog!) was very friendly and welcoming. There are a couple of picnic tables outside to sit and enjoy your coffee and the beautiful historic Rittenhouse town.“

“Food was fresh, delicious, and fairly priced. Beware of the pickled jalapeños if you are sensitive to spicy food.Both their beef gyro and falafel were the best I’ve ever had. Please keep in mind that I don’t even like meat and I’ve been struggling with anorexia for decades. So it’s very difficult for me to eat anything unless it’s super fresh and extraordinarily tasty. This place is a true gem and treasure.Service was outstanding, The owner-host made us feel immediately welcomed and at ease. She let us customize our order and was very prompt with our food. She was very knowledgeable about the ingredients they use, as well.The seating area is small, but that is to be expected in this area.Overall, this was by far our favorite restaurant to visit in the Philly area.Vegetarian options: they have falafel, grape leaves, hummus, baba ghanoush, salads, you name it! they offer endless customization options if you’d like, as well.Dietary restrictions: they serve halal, and they are knowledgeable about the ingredients they use.“

“Gather your Canada Goose and 3 carat diamond ring, because to enter this rarified coffee-lunch-shop air, you’ll need something to fit in. This place is a tremendous find, clearly with a chef from city-level fine dining. The chicken salad sandwich is fresh with an incredible array of fresh herbs in the mix and crunchy yet soft sandwich bread. You’ll surely not go wrong with a grain salad topped with chicken - super high quality meat - the difference is clear. I was also impressed by my matcha latte - not as much by the chocolate chip cookie. The grapefruit soda was also distinct with a hint of thyme and a perfect amount of sweet and bubble. I can hardly wait to return and enjoy the very best again.“

“This morning, as I was on my way to work, I had a little bit of time to grab a cup of coffee before catching my train. I came across this quaint cafe and decided to check it out. I am so glad that I did. Not only did I get a cup of coffee but I also got an egg & cheese sandwich on a croissant. My breakfast was absolutely amazing. The croissant was buttery and fresh. The sandwich literally melted in my mouth and the coffee was the finishing touch! I told the workers that this was the best breakfast sandwich that I ever had! I will DEFINITELY be back and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND supporting this small business. Tell em that James sent you and YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!“

“Alice Bakery is the best! I used to go to their Ambler location (now closed) and I finally got to their North Wales location over the weekend. The cakes, baked goods, bread, and sandwiches are delicious and the service has always been excellent. Check this place out for yourself!“

“Love this cafe!! My go to order is a cappuccino with oatmilk, sweet ricotta toast, and avocado ricotta toast. The toasts are always done really great-- bread is soft, ricotta is creamy, both avocado and fruit are so delicious. Everything is made with care. Space is great to catch up with friends or do some work. Highly recommend!!“

“I wanted to check out a new coffee shop a couple months ago after moving nearby, and was drawn in by the very friendly staff. Will and Dom in particular are fantastic and get to know you by name. The coffee is fantastic and best bagels in philly no doubt. I drive from Mannyunk as often as I can to hang there!“

“I was walking down conshy and I saw this cafe I never been to and decided to went in. The atmosphere was super cute and the owner is very sweet and recommended the brown sugar boba for me. They had tons of pastry and I couldn’t help but to get a few and try their avocado toast! Everything was delicious and definitely coming back. “

We are so thankful for their understanding and willingness to work with us! They are amazing owners and we are so appreciative“

“A true marriage between a coffee shop and cocktail bar. They serve traditional café fare here, as well as signature flavored lattes, craft coffee drinks, and many cocktails with a coffee or tea twist. Every week, there's also a new special on the menu. They also allow guests to bring food, so you can cozy up with a drink and some bites and hang out late into the night (which we have done many times!)Vegetarian options: Almost all drinks are vegetarian, and vegan milk alternatives are available upon request.“

“The staff was really kind. The place is absolutely gorgeous and has a cozy vibe. The coffee is so delicious. The star is the giant cookies! They are buttery and soft and the chocolate flavor is pronounce but not over powering! I can’t wait to see what else they will offer!“

“Stopped in for a quick to go breakfast sandwich. Lovely local restaurant with friendly and helpful service. Ordered an egg and cheese on a brioche bun. They warmed the bun and my sandwich was great! If I'm back in the area I'll definitely be back to sit down and have a meal.“

“GOOD VIBES -- here you will find people trying to become their best through nutrition, exercise and the sharing of ideas. Can't give this place enough stars."Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."“

“Stopped into Thunder Mug Cafe for a pick me up yesterday. I understand why it was named Philly's favorite coffee house. Apparently everyone else heard the news, too. The place was packed! The service was friendly and efficient and my iced SF caramel coffee and beignet were delish! Google review coming!“

“I stopped in today (Easter) and was completely blown away..The atmosphere really felt like home. Ms Lisa greeted me with a smile and sat me promptly. I ordered the fish & grits with shrimp and they were the best that I've EVER had ( im a foodie). The costumer service was awesome and the menu options were truly refreshing to see. There is something on the menu for everyone. I spoke with Ms.Stephanie( the owner) and she gave me some history on her establishment and it really felt like I was speaking to my auntie that's just how welcoming she was. I will tell everyone about the Welcome home cafe and I can't wait to come back. I wish you much success ❤️“

“This is a gem, owned by a wonderful family. We've always felt welcomed, been well fed, and left happier than when we'd arrived. So thankful to live nearby!Vegetarian options: Always some great veg options on the menu, and several vegan offerings, but kitchen is well versed and can accommodate specific needs with great flavor. Always delicious and satisfying.“

“Everything we tried was perfectly baked and utterly delicious. Had a variety of pastries including the best sellers : almond croissant, strawberry crème croissant. My favorite was the Greek yogurt & cherry. Can’t wait to explore more flavors and other offerings….“

“Been here twice in a week span and my first time was great. The people are nice and the food is great. Today I came it was just as good as my first time. I love the atmosphere and like I said, the workers there are nice with great attitudes. Plus my food came out quick and hot!“

“Artesano Cafe in Manayunk is the spot to hit up for breakfast or just a coffee run. I loveeed their outdoor food truck. Their breakfast sandwich with a special maple spread is so good! I would've never thought to add that on a breakfast sandwhich. And the tater tots?! So crispy, so good. It was a decent enough day outside to sit outdoors, but their inside setup is pretty cozy too. Definitely stop by!“

“If you’re looking for a great latte,coffee,breakfast sandwich or dessert look no more because the Great Awakening has the best, the vibe inside is so welcoming and all the workers make you feel like family it’s truly a hidden gem. I look forward to seeing everyone at the cafe and enjoy the awesome coffee they make.“

“The workers were super friendly! My London fog was tasty. They didn't add any sugar to it so I added my own, but I actually appreciate that because it's not fun when it's overly sweet. The sticky bun I had was heavenly. Someone put their heart and soul into making that thing. So sweet and buttery and flavorful. Atmosphere was also cute. Not overly busy, good for working. Place is kinda small, but I was thankful for an open seat. Very clean and welcoming. I would recommend!“

“I came here because Blue Owl wasn’t open today and was completely blown away by the croissants and hot chocolate. We tried every croissant they had available today (chocolate, raspberry, cherry/cheese and plain) and all were top notch. I don’t normally drink hot chocolate but decided to try it based off of other reviews and it was also insanely rich. Id highly recommend ordering one and sharing it with 2-3 people as it is really thick and rich. Prices were spot on where they should be ($3.50-$4.00 for a croissant). Inside had plenty of seating. Staff was friendly and quick.“

“The food is so good. This was my first time trying this place and I will definitely be back regularly. The restaurant is larger than it looks from outside, there is plenty of seating and parking was not a problem. I ordered the chicken shawarma platter and the baklava cheesecake. Do yourself a favor and order 2 of the baklava cheesecakes. I regretted only ordering one when I got home.“

“First of all--I'm glad to be introduced to another Black owned bakery! And the customer service is great. My aunt located this place when looking for treats for my grandma's bday. Everything was delicious and were a hit with the family, including the cookies. They really have too many cupcake options to choose from ?. I recently stopped by and tried the delicious sweet potato & strawberry shortcake cupcakes. I also have tried the Oreo and Turkey Bacon ones, which were good, too. I'm literally sad it's a Monday and can't wait until Wednesday to visit.“

“Nice little stop to grab a coffee and a quick bite. Everyone is friendly and the atmosphere is cozy coffee house vibes without the pretentious or hipster feel. There are always coffee concoction specials that pair perfectly with the various pastries they offer.“

“Really awesome place. Not only are they a great shop for all your bike needs, but they are apart of and provide so many community events and rides. Also, I just absolutely love the teal and pink colors they use on all their logos and t-shirts, etc - just a happy vibe that makes me wanna ride for miles!“

“I frequently ate at Elcy's Café and had coffee there. It's a convenient local coffee shop where you can grab breakfast before your commute. The environment is both professional and welcoming. I had a great time at Elcy's Café. The only thing I dislike about this place is how pricey it can get. All things considered, though, this is a fantastic neighborhood café with stuff available.“

“Another Black Owned Business In Any Community Is A Plus For The Community (May Allah Continue To Give You Success) The Brotherly Hospitality Was Great Along With The Food Even Tho My Food Options Were Very Limited Due To Being A PlantBased Food Consumer #Hint #Hint See You Brothers Again Unk Suge..

“Fox Chase Nutrition provides awesome customer service. The shakes and teas taste delicious. I felt like family from the first time I walked into the shop. Also the community is wonderful. Everyone supports each other. If you haven't tried their products, I would suggest that you do. You won't be disappointed.“

The atmosphere is amazing and they always play great music.Kid-friendliness: This is a place you can definitely bring your kids and family. The environment is so amazing and peaceful. And the workers are always polite and professional.“

“Picked up a bag of beans after chatting with the Baristas about flavors I go for. The Rwanda beans they recommended have been a lovely addition to my morning. This was during the May street festival and they were cool & calm even with a busy crowd coming in and out of the shop.“

“I went here with a friend and her 2 kids who I nanny for- ages 11 months and 2. What a great place! It was very clean and there was so much fun stuff to do! They had ride-on toys, a train table, a couple slides, a nugget couch, rock wall, and much more! The kids had a blast (and so did I!) I definitely recommend Lulu's Casita)!“

“I made a pit stop at this awesome place while traveling and left VERY pleased with my experience. Upon walking in, I found a clean, classy dining space. The employees were friendly and determined to ensure my order was exactly what I wanted. Additionally, the smoothie I ordered included a fun, spill-proof lid. Visit "Be Still Nutrition"!“

Lids fit, solid build, and good sleeves that ensure a smooth beverage experience! boutique offerings and friendly staff. Management is always working hard to maintain quality product and service offerings! Cheers to #“

“My boyfriend and his colleague went there for a meeting. He doesn't like leaving reviews. He came home raving about the blue cheese burger they have there. Apparently the buns are delightful and they melt real blue cheese on it. I told him we are going there for our next date night lol. The way he talked about it, I can't wait.“

“Confident saying - anything positive you've read/heard about Green Engine is probably 100% legit. Drinks and pasteries are fantastic. Service is always very good. Been here many times. I'd recommend: hot vanilla latte & a toasted bagel with cashew butter. Sometimes it's hard to find seating...but that's because the place is justifiably popular.“

“The food here is delicious. The service is great, and the other patrons are always friendly. It's hard to find vegan restaurants in our area of the burbs, especially since Blue Sage and Bernies closed. I have also bought some LUHV items at Whole Foods, they carry more at Reading Terminal. Enjoy!“

“Absolutely homey place for brunch. I've always driven past for years & decided to stop in when my husband & I were lazy to make breakfast. Everything was exceptionally cleaned & service was prompt and friendly.The menu was no frills but it was delicious! I ordered waffles with a side of bacon (which were deliciously crunchy!!) and my husband ordered the farmer's omelette.We'd definitely come back, no question.“

“Best coffee, great breakfast sandwich and baked goods. Lunch sandwiches are good too. I'm here every week buying a bag of their imperial roast.Vegetarian options: They have breakfast and lunch options which are vegetarianDietary restrictions: Some gluten free optionsKid-friendliness: Folks with kids here all the timeWheelchair accessibility: Double doors open to sidewalk with no step and are wheelchair accessible“

“This is the second time I’ve gone to Curds and Whey, but this was the 1st time for takeout. I wish I had taken a picture before I devoured the DELICIOUS Maryellen salad. The honey goat cheese, the homemade maple dressing, the chicken. All of it. My husband watched me eat it once I got home and he said you sure are enjoying that aren’t you!? Maria waited on me and was very attentive, prompt, helpful, and happy … which sometimes you just don’t find.Can’t wait for dinner… I knew what kind of day it was going to be and thought I’m buying dinner! So we will see, but I bet the chicken piccata and the roasted butternut squash with walnuts and craisins are going to totally hit the spot. Definitely would recommend this place.“

“I really like this coffee shop. The food is great, you don't feel rushed when looking at all of the flavors that they have, and it feels like home. It can feel a little bit messy upon your first time with everything there, but it's a small shop so it can get a bit cluttered.“

“We are celebrated our mother's Birthday at Cafe light. I want to say a BIG thank you for such a warm atmosphere, wonderful staff, delicious food, cozy room. Dishes surprise with excellent presentation and taste. Svetlana and your entire team, thank you, we have never tasted anything tastier in restaurants in 13 years in America. You are amazing. Highly recommend this place.“

“Jamil’s Cafe catered my daughter’s baby shower. Food was excellent. Arrived on time fresh and hot. He set up and gave me extra equipment. Everyone loved the food seasoned to perfection. The professionalism I received from beginning to the end was outstanding. Definitely booking again :)“
