“They get great coffee from a local roaster and the staff is friendly and the service is great. The Keswick has a real neighborhood vibe and surpasses the corporate chains.“

Items marked spicy are truly spicy, so be careful if you're sensitive to spice. The dining area is cozy but not cramped. Food and drinks are ready fast, and the staff is friendly and attentive.“

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

“My husband and I went to Meadowlark Bakery and Cafe this morning after learning that they hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for those who needed a place to go. We try to support places that support those in the community and do good. We’ve been there before for coffee and pastries, which are amazing, but we never had any other food. We have been missing out! We both got a breakfast sandwich and they were amazing! My biscuit was light and buttery, our eggs were perfectly fried, and both sandwiches had generous amounts of breakfast meat and came with tots. They had a wonderful Santa for the kids and a nice warm enclosed area for eating. Meadowlark, thank you for being a part of our community and helping those in need. It does not go unnoticed and we will absolutely be back to support you, your business, delicious food, and the good you are doing!“

“The service was great and the women behind the counter were amazing! I will definitely come back when I am in the area again.“

“Loved dropping in here on a Saturday. Very relaxed vibes walking in here, perfect for a relaxed meet up, coffee or quick bite. My wife and I ordered the Ume Plum Tea, Vietnamese Latte, Khang’s Special Banh Mi, Crispy Tofu Banh Mi, and Doenjang Butter Fries. The Ume Plum Tea is so unique, and their Vietnamese Latte is the best I’ve had. Their food portions are big, and will definitely leave you full. Highly recommend this place!“

“Delicious food options including pastries. Friendly staff. And a nice open space. This place is great.“

“This place is wonderful! I want to come here more often. Fantastic food, coffee, and lemonade. Wonderful staff. Very cool environment. The day I went they had some extra cake they gave to guests free of charge too! I would pay for that chocolate cake though because it’s absolutely fantastic. This place is going on my list of favorite local spots“

“Great place. This is my go to for some good food when I am in the area hands down. Great customer service, they really make you feel welcomed when you come to their establishment. I eat here on a regular basis. Great food. Everything i have had here has been delicious. From the smoothies to the food. I highly recommend stopping by to check them out.“

“First time there this morning. My dad and I got coffees & cinnamon danish. Browsed the books & bought a few plus a shirt. Love the vibe & ambiance.“

“We had such an amazing experience at The Turkish! From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family. The hospitality was incredible, and they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.

A very special thank you to Layan and Yunus. They were absolutely wonderful and made my daughter feel so special. That meant more to us than they probably realize. Their kindness, attention, and genuine hospitality made our entire experience unforgettable.

The food was amazing, the service was excellent, but the way we were treated is what will keep us coming back. It’s rare to find a place where you truly feel like family.

Thank you, Layan and Yunus, for making our visit so special. We will definitely be back!“

“oh this was my favourite place in philadelphia. fantastic location, great service and great food. excellent music too. if I lived in philly this would be my local. thanks everyone for a fabulous experience. ❤️“

“Didn't get to try the breakfast since the third-party delivery hadn't arrived before I had to leave. The pandan coconut summer latte was amazing though! Also liked their chocolate croissant. Will definitely be back to try the food.“

“OMGGGGG TRIED THE BUTTERCAKE FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY! AMAZING!!!!!“

“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 came in to order a sympathy standing bouquet and was welcomed and comforted. I truly appreciate the kindness during a difficult time. The flowers were perfectly beautiful. Thank you.“

“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.“

“Always have great food & service💕 😋“

“Had breakfast this morning for the 1st time, it was delicious! Rebecca was our waitress and she was terrific! We definitely found our new place from now on!“

“I didn't realize I've never left a review but my husband and I have been coming here regularly for over 4 years. There are baristas that have been here for that long and are amazing. They are so so nice. I've been coming here with my newborn and now she'll be four and they truly embody the concept of a third space for everyone including rambunctious toddlers. They have never made us feel less welcome for our child being a child and have always made us and our children feel welcome no matter what. The coffee/barista talent speaks for itself, we have definitely been to hundreds, if not thousands, of coffee shops around the world between the two of us and definitely we always compare it to this gem! They have really cool events as well I've been to a couple of poetry nights. I don't drink alcohol but it being open late makes it a great place to have an evening tea or read a book in a different evening atmosphere.“

“First time here! Excellent! Loved it!“

“Love the vibe. The employees were incredibly helpful and friendly. Food and drinks were excellent. FREE mimosas or bloodies with any food purchase. 10/10 will return next time I'm in town.“

“The space is beautiful and thoughtfully curated. I ordered a tea and rather than being handed a cup of hot water with a tea bag in it, the tea was properly steeped with the tea bag removed so that I could enjoy without worrying about it being oversteeped—such a helpful touch!!“

“great place good vibes good food great customer service“

“Food and coffee were delicious! Definitely recommend“

“I stopped in for breakfast last week while traveling through the area with a couple friends. Dee was absolutely lovely and the food was amazing! I also loved the music themed decor inside. Would definitely recommend you check it out.“

“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.💜“

“Great coffee in a really cool setting! All kinds of original artwork and friendly staff (that was Jeff today)!“

“Amazing service! Pour over was the strong hit I needed this morning. The star of the show was the breakfast sandwich with the most creamy and fluffy egg with… spam?? To top it off, the scallion jam was a perfect pair. Cool record collection upstairs too“

“Beautiful shop, vibe matches the coffee. 10/10 taste /presentation/ barista. A nice stop for coffee truly.“

“To be honest, my wife and I (who live a few blocks away) came here when they had their soft opening. We had been aware that it was opening for what felt like ages but there was a delay for whatever reason. When the soft opening came, we walked in with excitement but there was no food left and the coffee was mediocre. For some dumb reason, that experience prevented us from going back for a long time, until today. I got the sababa sandwich and some pastries and it's hands down the best breakfast sandwich I've had in a long time, and there are a number of good coffee/breakfast spots in the area with good food. That is all to say, shame on me for waiting so long. I'm glad/lucky to have Stephens cafe in our neighborhood.“

“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!“

“The owner is a huge supporter of local music. The food is great, the musical talent they bring in is awesome. What more can you ask for???“

“Fantastic service, coffee and fare!“

“I also had my wedding here two years ago! Service was stellar and it was absolutely beautiful. When we did the walk through they took us to the coffee shop and all the plants and pastries 🥮 whew delicious! This place is a 10 out of 10.“

“I walked in to get a coffee and ended up staying for about a half hour 45 minutes. Had lunch and ordered stuff to go. Great staff, great coffee. ☕️“

“Good food, friendly staff.“

“I am a division 1 athlete and we have all had all of our preseason meals here for years and every year they never disappoint. Their chefs always make sure to accommodate any dietary restrictions, preferences, and with eating there every day for a month they make sure we never get sick of eating the same thing. Everyone is so friendly and loving here.“

“The Green Goodness is all that 😋😋“

“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.“

“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.“

“I LOOOOOVEEE this place!! It's filled with beautiful African culture, amazing local made jewelry and goodies, and beautiful plant and art filled seating areas with amazing sunlight! Everything they use for their products is natural and lots are from the owners garden in the back, which is open to customers!!“

“Haraz Coffee is a hidden gem! It is the ideal place to do some work while sipping on the best Turkish coffee I’ve had in Philly, munching on some delicious pastries, including a fantastic Simit bagel generously sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds !!! I definitely recommend it.“

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

“The best coffee shop in the area! Highly recommend this place!“

“Always my 1st stop when I'm out and about.“

“This la colombe is exceptional. The coffee is delicious its flavourful but not too bitter and their milk to coffee ratio is so correct. I love their iced brewed teas. The interior is so big and lots of seating. Music is played at a perfect level where you could enjoy it or tune it out. I haven't had much of their food but I did have their lasagna soup last year and it was superb. The sandwiches and other items look delicious , they have a brick oven for toasting their bread which is so extra i love it.“

“Always a pleasure stopping by Richies. Friendly, fast service. Great food and the coffee is always hot and fresh! On a hot day grab their ice coffee. You will not be disappointed!“
