“such a cute cafe! I’ve been wanting to stop by for the longest but never had the time to until recently. I walked in and the gentleman at the register recommended “the Antonio” sandwich…and let me tell you, I came back the next day for another one! It was so good! The 2nd time around, I was able to get my hands on their tarts and they were delicious. Will def continue to make my way in.“
“Food... Amazing!! Service... Fantastic!! Atmosphere... Cozy!!I highly recommend this restaurant. I enjoy the delicious food (especially the Salmon Freekah Salad and Pistachio Sticky Bun) and the Brown Butter Artichoke Borekas are everything!!! After a year of coming here, I've tried nearly everything on the menu ? Owner, Chef Mike Solomonov is incredibly generous!!!“
“Cafe La Maude in Philadelphia is a charming spot that blends French and Lebanese culinary traditions into a delightful brunch experience. With a 5-star rating, it’s praised for its flavorful and unique dishes, professional service, and the cozy ambiance that makes the wait worthwhile. The menu offers a mix of healthy options, and while the prices are a bit steep, the quality of the food is exceptional. It’s a place where you can enjoy a leisurely meal and feel the warmth of family history and culture in every bite.“
“Love this place for Gelato and drinks. Feel like in Italy when entering the shop. can eat in or take out Gelato. There is a bar inside that they made fresh coffee as well. Best espresso martini and Aperol spitz. There is a restaurant upstairs too but didn’t try yet. Many import staff from Italy. Very enjoy to be in this place. really recommended“
“Delicious cold brew and really nice baristas. There's so many great options for drinks and this is also the perfect place to stop by to stock up for a picnic. You could sit in here and do work, but the seating is more for a little chat versus a long haul work day. This shop is in a garage in a good way. Great philly spot with awesome coffee. Silly chairs outside they're very low and the tables are very high but it's fun that way“
“A cute pet-friendly cafe with a persimmon theme in Fishtown. It might be a popular spot in the neighborhood as it was busy on a Sunday morningSide note: My friend recommended me Drift Magazine for city coffee guide and I was excited to flip the physical copies there.We ordered latte and cappuccino. Very smooth coffee with a nutty espresso base. Well-frothed milk gave a creamy texture. Loved the latte art on top. The porcelain mugs and coasters they used were cute. Their pastries looked attractive to serve with coffee too.“
“Lucked in to finding this place while in town. Small local restaurant, clean and friendly. The mozzarella sticks are freshly cut, battered and deep fried. Best I’ve ever had. The pizza was amazing. Had pepperoni and sausage. Sausage was legit good!“
“Il Sorriso is a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of the city. The moment you step in, you're greeted by the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff make it the perfect spot to unwind or catch up with friends. Their espresso is bold and flavorful, and their pastries are delectable. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or just looking for a relaxing atmosphere, Il Sorriso never disappoints.“
“LOVED IT HERE! Truly authentic Italian cooking, with authentic ingredients to purchase. The staff was so friendly and accomodating on their menu. We had to make a slight change in order for a vegetarian, and they had no issues. We tried their breakfast sandwiches & lunch sandwiches, and each bite was jam packed with substance & flavor (I mean, just look at the layers in my photo.) Fresh ingredients, and an overall quaint/bright spot. This would be an awesome place to post up and get some work done, do some people watching, and enjoy delicious food. Not to mention, their baked goods looked out of this world. We wanted to get so much, but I landed on their passion fruit donut, partly because it was the last one left (so I figured something must be good!) And let me tell you, their dough is different. The donut was dense & fluffy at the same time, and their passion fruit flavor was y-u-m-m-y. I can't wait to go back to try more sandwiches and get some grocery shopping done!“

“Incredible service! They're super accommodating with my dairy allergy and made an incredible vegan latte. My boyfriend got the croissant and egg sandwich and said it was perfectly crispy and the eggs and sausage were fresh. Highly recommend!“
“A pastry shop, a beacon of delight,Where morning treats turn dawn into bright.Two souls, prompt and kind,In every task aligned,Make breakfast fare a memorable sight.Croissants cradle eggs and prosciutto alike,A harmony of flavors that make us psyche.Coffee rich, price fair,In this haven rare,Perfection this place does strike.“
“First time visiting on a Saturday morning and everything was wonderful. It was just starting to get busy, but we were seated immediately. Service to our table was prompt and friendly. Breakfast was delicious. Atmosphere was awesome. Everyone was pleasant and attentive. My wife and I had a great time. It got busy, yet everything ran smoothly. Can’t wait to come back and try their drinks and dessert.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available“
“For my wife's and my wedding anniversary dinner, we ordered around 100 individual cakes from A La Mousse for our guests. We ordered mango mousses, papa bear cakes, and tiramisus.We all loved them!! We received so many positive reviews for the cakes, especially the mango mousse. The cakes were the perfect size also, presented beautifully, and all in all we thought added a really special touch to our celebration.Lynn and her staff at the South Street location are super friendly, helpful and were great to work with in the preparation for this event. This is definitely our go-to cake place in town!“
“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.“
“OMG, I just discovered this little spot tucked away in an office block. Absolutely the freshest food. I had a smoothie, amazing veggie panini and the soup of the day which was chicken noodle. The ladies are lovely and service is top notch. All good and will be back when the opportunity “
“I saw this place on social media so wanted to check it out. You have an amazing idea here. I thought the Z thing was only for the menu but they have their employees substituting Z’s for everything. It’s funny, it’s an experience. Great customer service IMO.Y’all need to update your address or business page on google maps, this location shows one place. I saw another location on your website, this review is for the truck at 3400 Fox St. I’m not even sure what this business page address is for. Maybe this is an old location?Onto the chicken cheesesteak. I got one with fried chicken tenders inside, lettuce, and I think they put some kind of hot sauce as well. The bread this comes on is incredible. If you want anything HEALTHY, DO NOT come here, I’m reading that it’s deep fried bread. Whatever they do to it, I could’ve ate it alone. The fried chicken inside is seasoned well. It’s kinda too much and falls apart as a result but who cares, eat some first with a fork then eat the rest. I got fries here but they were just okay. I want to come back and try something else.“
“Just moved to the neighborhood. We moved here because we wanted to be able to walk to places like Coffee Cream & Dreams, and I’m delighted that everything about it is so good. Big fan of the cold brew, donuts, and croissants. The service is fast and friendly too. We’ll be back often.“
“I’ve gone in twice for birthday cakes. I’m horribly last-minute, but luckily they always have already-made birthday cakes for sale which are DELICIOUS. They’re super flavorful without being too much, and they’re beautiful to look at. Plus they can write a message on the cake very quickly. I’m a fan!“
“I came here for the first time after an otherwise hectic morning and had such a delightful experience. The coffee and quinoa bowl were delicious and I am obsessed with their HUSKEE drinkware, which is made from recycled coffee husks. Everything about this cafe—from the general vibe to the customer service to the art—makes me want to return, and I look forward to my next visit :).“
“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.“
“Giving 5 stars because Dotty's is excellent at what they do... Even if many of the flavors are over the top and I don't actually like them. LoLI'm really loving the savory doughnuts though! I didn't think that they would be as good as they have been. :-)“
“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.“
“Delightful visit to this bakery! The mocha cake was heavenly—moist, rich in flavor, and with the perfect balance of coffee and chocolate. Paired with their freshly brewed coffee, it was an absolute treat. Cozy ambiance and friendly staff added to the wonderful experience. A must-try spot for anyone looking for quality cakes and coffee. Highly recommend!“
“What we ordered: Baker’s Basket, Continental Breakfast, French Omelet, and a hot latte.I’d recommend the Continental Breakfast if you’re indecisive or if you want a variety in one order, which was fun for me to try. I love the croissants here because they are not too flaky yet still buttery and fresh. However, the scone was too dry for my liking, and the toasted brioche was okay. It was a fun breakfast for us with friendly service.Be mindful of the parking as well, because you’ll need to parallel park and pay for the time you’re there. If you’re even a couple of minutes late, you may end up with a ticket, which was a painful experience for us.“
“They had several great vegan options and the owner was very kind and interested in us having a good experience. The atmosphere is a little cramped but not claustrophobic. I loved the random assortment of books and plants all over. We thoroughly enjoyed our stop here!Dietary restrictions: Great vegan options!“
“Clean minimal shop with quality matcha products and great ice cream.Strawberry and earl grey swirl are my current go to after dinner in Chinatown, however it is a seasonal flavor so get it while you can. I’ve also had the hojicha float which was refreshing and had a deep roasted nutty flavor with an edge of bitterness.What I enjoy most about this place is the typical Asian compliment when it comes to dessert “not so sweet”.Surreal is quite trendy but I find myself becoming quickly tired of it due to amount, all the toppings, and just the overall sweetness of the ice cream whereas matcha Maiko has the perfect amount of sweetness to remind you it’s a treat but not to the point where halfway through you feel like need water or tea to tone down the sugar“
“Excellent place to eat and drink (coffee, lattes, etc.). Ordered a SEC with 3 eggs ($8) as well as a 16 oz sugar free latte ($4.75). Both tasted great! Park in the tiny lot behind the building on Delaware Street or in front of the building (side entrance and exit) on S. Broad.“
“I’m biased because I’m ethiopian myself; however, everything about Alif is hella ethiopian, hella delicious. Love their missir (lentil) samosas and i could drink a whole liter of their buna (coffee)!I come here often and will keep coming here for the food and the vibes ??☕️“
“I just want them to make my coffee and design my apartment ? the cappuccino is the smoothest that I've had in Philly and the decorum is exquisite. The price is very affordable for a cappuccino and it's CONSISTENTLY well made, which is rare for a coffee shop. Not to mention they're open on Christmas when everyone else is closed and I appreciate that. My 5 year old and I go and sit here for hours and write and read and laugh. It's an amazing atmosphere.“
“The best place to have some coffee in the center city, continently located!Service is always great and friendly. There are long lines during rush hours, so plan ahead. It can be super crowded during lunch time as well. Try their strawberry matcha latte (iced or hot) - that’s my favorite 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. “
“I've been here a few times, but this time it was to celebrate a birthday. The staff was excellent and went above and beyond to make the birthday special. Everyone was so helpful & friendly plus the service was outstanding. Will be back many more “
“I’ve come here multiple times in the past decade and the chaat and lassi never fail to hit the spot. I got a fig lassi and a paneer chaat, both were so refreshing and the owner is so kind and hospitable. While this spot is not in a great location, the lassis and food make it worth it!!!“
“Loved this place back in the day. Great neighborhood spot. Great staff. Clean. Unfortunately haven’t been able to return in years because they don’t offer vegan options besides avocado toast. Hoping they one day at tofu scramble eggs, or “just egg” and maybe like vegan sausage, vegan butter etc. of course not expecting them to reinvent the menu but having a couple of vegan options would really open up their market more“
“I have had the pleasure of working with Danielle and John. Their willingness to work with us to reschedule our daughters bridal shower, due to a family emergency . Was nothing short of amazing! We are so thankful for their understanding and willingness to work with us! They are amazing owners and we are so appreciative“
“A true neighborhood gem! My go to order is a pork roll melt with tots and The Hulk smoothie with pineapple added. Have been eating here for over 4 years and always consistent. Great customer service. Worth making sure you have cash on hand!“
“We've gone here for Friday lunches a few times in the past months and have ordered over half of the paninis they have available. Everything we've had from Torchwood is phenomenal, and I can't say that we've ever had a bad sandwich. It's quickly become one of our favorite places to pop out to during the week; plus, we love the music! The pineapple mango mint tea is a must try :)“
“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.“
“It was a sunny Saturday afternoon. My partner and I were looking for a tasty quick lunch when we stumbled upon Waterfront Gourmet cafe & deli. The atmosphere is unassuming, but the service was friendly. My partner got the chipotle chicken panini and we were stupefied by the sandwich. 10/10. It changed our whole day.“
“Stopped in and had Breakfast there this morning for my fiancées birthday! Everything was delicious! My mother and Grandmother owned Miller's back when it was known as Miller's Luncheonette. Had a little blast from the past walking in and remembering all the good times from my childhood!! Thank you lady's for being so friendly and welcoming! We will definitely be back next time with my Dad!“
“We’ve tried all the Ethiopian food in this area and this is the one that keeps us coming back. The food is sooooo good. Service is a little slow but every time we’ve been there it’s only 1 guy working and he’s working hard. We don’t mind the wait at all, we usually bring some cards or something to keep us occupied ? the restaurant is very clean. its BYOB so bring your drink of choice! I really love this place. I hope you try it.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options. I eat meat but went with 2 vegetarians and we shared everything. Eating vegetarian here still is sooooo satisfying.Wheelchair accessibility: This place is not wheelchair accessible. There’s a small set of about 4 stairs you have to walk down to get into the building.“
“Creative, cozy, delicious. Yesterday I had the Thai PB&J, and if it’s available when you go, I highly recommend it. It wasn’t my first time in here. I’ve enjoyed the wonderful, cozy, 90s-coffee-shop-in-a-romcom vibe on several occasions. The service is friendly and relaxed. The coffee is delicious. But it was that sandwich yesterday that made me finally sit down and write this 5-star review. This place is a gem!“
“The food and atmosphere was remarkable. I came here Saturday and Sunday morning. The staff was soo friendly and made me feel so welcoming. The food was delicious and homemade. The homemade turkey sausages was delicious. Everything about it was amazing. I would highly recommend trying this place out. They also have outside seating and the prices are very reasonableParking: Since the place is right on market street, it can be difficult to find parking. Since I stayed at the hotel nearby, I walked to the restaurant“
“Given the number of various establishments at this location that have come and gone over the last few decades, the fact that Vibrant has now been here well over two years speaks for itself. The Rittenhouse Square neighborhood was relatively coffee-free for years, and thankfully several places have popped up recently. This is the best of the lot. Coffees and baked goods are consistently excellent. Baristas are usually pleasant. Unless money isn’t a concern for you, however, be advised that a regular plain coffee is around $4, and prices go up from there, so Vibrant is not the best place to frequent often. The space itself is pretty tiny, there’s no real room to sit inside, which leads to lines out the door every weekend morning and when there’s an event going on in the Square. There are some small tables outside the entrance on Locust Street. That’s it, so by necessity business is mostly takeout. Worth it for an occasional treat/splurge.“
“What a great find! Met a vegetarian friend for breakfast. Many great options for her, and I got a delicious Angus burger for breakfast! Our server was very attentive and made sure our food was cooked exactly right. Cute corner building on the Drexel campus. Only negative is that parking is scarce- take some other kind of transportation.“
“The food, service and ambiance of this restaurant were excellent! All went above and beyond expectations. Very authentic, delicious Italian food, with very attentive and friendly staff, working hard for their customers. Coming here for dinner was a wonderful way to end my visit to Philadelphia!“
“I know this is a coffee shop but don’t sleep on the toasties! Look at that cheese pull. Immaculate, much like the cleanliness level of the shop. The guys that work there are all real stand-up dudes. But definitely get a toastie.Kid-friendliness: Just don’t be obnoxious and bring your entire stroller inside. There’s not room for that. Don’t lie to yourself for the sake of convenience. Not gonna happen.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible but bathroom may be hard to get to when they’re busy due to space limitations“
“Been going here for about 3 years and recently tried the chai. If you’re a chai lover, you HAVE to try it out! Amazing spices and it doesn’t need to be sweetened at all. Every beverage I’ve tried has been amazing, as well as the pastries. If you’re thinking about going, you will not be disappointed!!“
“That night didn't want to go out.However, my wife wanted to go and I could not let her go by herself.So I went.and to my surprise I had an awesome time. Great atmosphere, and excellent music. .Good to know there are places like that. I felt safe and it 's close to my neighborhood. I recommend to anyone who loves jazz.“
