“Wonderful lunch today at Bruno‘s! We sat outside, enjoyed a chicken salad, wrap, a grilled cheese with bacon, and a cheeseburger, with ice cream served in parfait dishes for dessert. Everything was fresh, tasty, and served quickly and with a smile. Perfect experience all around.“

“A very pleasant and spacious space. Great coffee, though a little pricey. It is a great place to get a bite and chill.“

“SUPERB - great coffee, worth supporting!“

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

“We were warmly welcomed on a snowy winter day and enjoyed our lunch. Their cappucino and lattes were delicious as well as their unique 3-berry muffin. The house specialty sandwich was tasty, but had more cheese filling than I like. Their turkey sandwich was delicious. The restaurant decor is contenporary cozy and there are lots of breakfast, brunch and lunch choices with vegetarian and vegan options. It was nice to see families and diners of all ages hanging out and enjoying the food and vibe there.“

“I’ve walked by this spot so many times, and it seemed every time I was hungry they were closed (closed on weekends) but today I finally stepped in. I ordered 2 bánh mìs and a Vietnamese coffee. Pete, the owner/operator of the spot was the only one there and we instantly jumped into great conversation about the music scene in Philly back in the late 90s. We ended up knowing a lot of the same people. Philly is a tight knit group. So even before eating the food I was already a fan of this spot. Pete served me his special take on Vietnamese coffee while we talked and he made the sandwiches. The iced coffee was excellent, but different and less sweet than Vietnamese coffee I’ve had in the past. He also used ice cubes made of coffee which was an added bonus for a coffee junkie like myself. After we talked for nearly 20 min, I walked home with my sandwich and WOW! Such a solid bánh mì! I told him to make it like he would make it for himself (spicy) and he knocked it out of the park. I’ll be back and I’ll be bringing all my music friends here when they are in the neighborhood. I highly encourage Olde City residents as well as Philly locals to give this place a try!“

“The cafe looks so cozy and coffee tastes great and real here! During our visit to US from Europe, we were looking a real tasty coffee and this place became a remedy!

We had a chance to meet the owners, young couple, and they were incredibly kind and hospitable. Definetely recommend!“

“Yet another hidden gem in Philly. I came in for the first time today by chance and immediately felt so so so welcomed into the space. It is much smaller of a space than Madis Coffee Roasters (Twisted Grounds has only a few small tables to sit), but the staff is equally as kind, friendly, talkative, and enjoyable to be around. You can quickly tell that the team here has a great rapport with each other, and it makes the atmosphere comfortable and fun to be in. They have super cute merch and engaging conversations. I'm excited for this to be one of my regular haunts in Philly. The manager runs this place like a well-oiled machine.“

“IL Sorriso Cafe has become my go to spot for studying or getting work done on my laptop. It has a nice atmosphere - very bright and spacious, and there is great service from Besi. It’s really nice that he takes the time to have conversations with his customers, my brother has been a regular here for years and would agree. I always enjoy the food and matcha lattes. I definitely recommend this spot!“

“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. ❤️“

“SUPERB - great coffee, worth supporting!“

“Loved this little spot!! The decor couldn’t have been sweeter, and the food and drinks were equally wonderful. They had so many different latte flavors (my favorite was the coconut mocha) that were the perfect amount of sweetness. The food was also unique and delicious - we tried the burrata panini, which was scrumptious! Would definitely come back here to try more :)“

“Quality coffee, pastries made with love and the most charming duo running the place.“

“Great Atmosphere, Amazing food !!!!
It was like a day spent at my relatives house, hanging out chillin.
So comfortable- great service, amazing home cooked meal.
We WILL be back
(With a bottle next time tho) ❤️❤️“

“Absolutely one of my favorite places to eat Authentic Italian food in Philly! I literally stop in every single time I'm in town. The food is just perfect, authentic and I love how they have a new menu every week or so for different regions! Beyond excellent service. Award winning gelato must be mentioned with the great choices at the store market on the 1st level!“

“Most delicious specialty coffee in the city“

“wonderful staff, Colombes coffee great food.“

“A+ ambiance and great coffee and treats.“

“Ok a time was had!
I showed up to my first ever open mic. Without any back up or support. Straight after work still in a suit and I was so nervous! But sat next to people I just met, we'll I was early sonce I came straight from work still wearing a suit, and they were pleasant hospital regulars. The drinks were great the features were great and I enjoyed it so much. I will be back for another go!“

“I just came here today. I've seen them working on constructing this for a min and wasn't sure about it. First, the atmosphere is perfect for studying and small conversations. Secondly, the food is genuinely OFF THE HOOK AMAZING! The chefs prepared it as though they were making it for family members and truly a very distinctive flavor and high quality of deliciousness as compared from other similar cafes. I'm very much making this my go to for my very long studying sessions. The food menu is small but pretty impressive and their coffee is perfect.“

“My 2nd time ordering via doordash
I really looooveee this Lychee Dragon Fruit Green Tea still a favorite of mine. It feels like summer-whenever I drink them.

Peach Lemongrass idk if both flavors meld in together. I feel the lemongrass overpowered the peach flvor profile. Better yet pls make a Pandan Iced tea instead.

Pls make sure to really close the lid very tightly s some of the juices spilled in the plastic bag. Thanks“

“Had the Spring Fling coffee today, IT WAS INCREDIBLE! Never have I had coffee like this. It was robust but mild, with hints of lavender, thyme and pink peppercorns. Absolutely a must have for those that go regularly. I live in NJ so sadly I won’t be here often and I’m sad about that.“

“One of my favorite go to spots when I worked in Chestnut Hill a very long time ago! The vibe has not changed a decade later! It was great to come in with my highly energetic son, enjoy the great vibes and coffee! Times have changed but they haven't! I had different drink experiences on different days and they were accommodating every time. Thanks for being so welcoming, and inviting! Young messy ppl take PATIENCE“

“Small shop offering high quality coffee in a quiet corned. They have seasonal specials offering interesting coffee flavors for people looking to try something new. I've had their melon coffee and their ube, both of which were delicious :)“

“Flores is so amazing and my new neighborhood spot. I love the coffee shops in the Fairmount/Francisville area, but this one is special. It’s so cozy and Mrs. Betty is SO lovely. I also appreciate bringing a Latina flair to the neighborhood. One of my favorite coffee shops is in Miami and this place reminds me of there. Run and go try it- you won’t be disappointed!! (My partner and I love the tres leches and coquito coffee drinks. Also, the homemade carrot cake, cornbread, and apple turnovers are to die for)!“

“Love The Kettle Black! Amazing vegan croissants, bagels & other treats! Their cold brew is always on point! Super friendly and talented folks!“

“The staff was great. The drinks and food was awesome! I loved it...“

“Visited here for breakfast on a snowy morning, loved the vibe around, I ordered a Good Morning Wrap along with a Cortado Coffee and loved it! My husband ordered a Mushroom Toast and a Cappuccino, he liked the coffee but not the toast… the Mushrooms didn’t taste fresh or warm and felt was over priced!! Will definitely go back here for coffee if not for breakfast again👍Coming to parking, it is another issue they don’t have ample of space but a few and mostly occupied but they are located right opposite Ambler Septa Station. So you can park at the Station for a $2 fee..“

“I'm visiting this city for the first time. Locals highly recommend this local coffee shop. It is definitely a local vibe. I much prefer Passeros than Starbucks. The character of this little shop is 100% original and definitely shows Philadelphia love.“

“The atmosphere was warm, welcoming and comfortable. I recommend the dumplings, they are amazing and their Tea was extremely good. I made sure to get more to take home.“

“I would highly recommend this coffee shop...you'll be greeted by friendly smiles as you walk in the door. The candied BLT is amazing. You'll love the Blueberry Lavendar Latte and don't miss out on trying the ever-famous Matcha. It's a great way to start you day or kick-start your afternoon!“

“Good service, nice atmosphere, quality food. Definitely would come back again!“

“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“

“The pastries were delicious! Especially the rose pistachio cake and the orange cake. The drinks were just okay to me, the cappuccino was kind of watery and the Adani chai seemed over-brewed and too strong. The service look a little long since it didn’t seem too busy, but the atmosphere, seating options and restrooms were great. Thanks for having a baby changing table too!“

“Nice place too grab coffee while my cycle got some service.“

“Popped in to check it out. DELICIOUS coffee. That’s all I need from a coffee shop, but the bagel was excellent too, and the staff were chill and friendly. Will return.✌️😎✌️“

“Wonderful place! Good coffee, food and gifts.“

“Nick was amazing! He was so knowledgeable about the selection of spirits and made our first time at Char & Stave memorable. We will definitely be back to enjoy his signature cocktail and the cool cool cool drink. It was by far one of the best whiskey cocktails I have ever had. We will be back with friends for bingo night. Must try. Highly recommend. Service impeccable“

“My first taste of Shakshuka and it was amazing! Very comfortable place, too. My partner had a smoked turkey sandwich that had a lot of great flavor!“

“The vibe here is great and there’s lots of space. The food is delicious (I had a quiche and the little side salad that came with it had a delicious dressing).

The space is a bit loud, and taking a work meeting was a little rough.“
