50 Best Breakfast Restaurants in Philadelphia

“It was a really nice vibe and great food“

“Lovely little mom and pop restaurant for breakfast or lunch. They remember customers. Very kind and courteous service. The restaurant is clean and the restroom is immaculate. Great spot to chat over fresh and delicious coffee! 10/10 recommend!

Parking: Street parking but I'm unsure if there are meters or not as I walked.“

“Thx 2 Chopped, I ate here! Best decision ever, tremendous food, Banh Mi Breakfast sandwich and their Sweet Bacon Jam Redux sandwich are incredible.“

“This place makes great hot chocolate with real steamed milk! Unfortunately we got there too late for food (New Years Day)and they were just closing but them made me hot chocolate (We were watching the end of the Mummer's Parade and needed to get warmed up). Decent prices for a great hot chocolate!“

“I ordered somewhat of 2 platters. Oreo waffles with hash browns chicken tenders. Fruity pebble French toast with salmon, eggs, and hash browns. The food was incredible my salmon was very flavorful and did not have a fishy taste. The waffles were super fluffy and moist!! However, the food that had toppings could’ve used a little more like my Oreo waffles and fruity pebble French toast. Also the packaging was a little messy the condiments were thrown in the bag so my napkins included were sticky with oil and sauces. Overall my food was delicious and delivery was speedy and the food was still hot on arrival. Definitely will order again!“

“Went here because everywhere else was insanely crowded. I got a chicken cheesesteak and it was quite decent. We also got a side of avocado toast and it tasted fresh. Also got a hot dog with just mustard and it was also good. Overall it was better than we expected it would be.“

“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!“

“Breakfast was absolutely delicious! Veggie omelette was yum! Waitress was friendly and attentive. Not a bad thing to say about it! Will definitely return!“

“LISTEN UP CLOSELY PHILLY!! YOU HAVE A NEW CHEESESTEAK KING IN THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE!! DOWN HOME DINER WOW IS ALL I CAN SAY… BEST CHEESESTEAK IN PHILLY/JERSEY RITE HERE INSIDE THE THE READING TERMINAL MARKET AND THE WORKERS ARE ALL SO NICE!!!“

“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! 😅“

“TOP SERVICE 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 by Luis.. Great food, great service🙏🏽 definitely going back.. food was done fast and it was delicious, if you are a pasta lover you have to taste pasta at Spring Garden Pizza“

“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.“

“respectful service clean great food“

“Spoons is a family restaurant in the truest sense of the phrase. In a time where mom and pop establishments are being pushed to the brink by being forced to serve through nameless cyber middlemen. Come by to sit and enjoy some of the best and fluffiest pancakes south Philly has to offer, served up by some of the most pleasant folks you will ever meet.“

“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“

“Best breakfast sandwiches in west. And I specifically say sandwiches because the “breakfast Joint” ‘s platters is something crazy. But I choose Lees for my breakfast sandwiches only. This place was amazing 10/10 !! I just hate to wait in the store after I already placed my order. But it’s worth it. Try my order. -turkey sausage patties egg and cheddar cheese on potato bread ,toasted. Add hash brown , add beef bacon. The sandwich like $9 but it’s the truth 🤣“

“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“

“Had a great cheese steak hoagie here last time I was in Philadelphia. Just the right amount of onions and very fresh. I had issues with some of my Canadian cards not working to pay and I felt bad causing a bother during busy breakfast hours. However the people running this place are very friendly and it's just a pleasant place to eat.“

“shrimp an grits homefried“

“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.“

“This place is such a pleasant surprise! I was craving pancakes for dinner but also wanted a savory option and this fit the bill. Everything we ordered was amazing- pancakes, buffalo chicken wrap, tuna wrap, pesto grilled cheese, and a smoothie! Showed up fast and hot. Will definitely be a repeat customer.“

“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! :)“

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

“This place has great grub and great service. I went for the first time recently and enjoyed everything I had. Eggs ( 3 over easy), grits, potatoes bacon, sausage, toast (wheat), and coffee. It's definitely a must try to go see for yourself.

Parking: It's in an outdoor mall, so there's plenty of parking“

“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 was getting my nails done across the street & i originally wasn’t going to stop by but i walked past the place & felt such a good vibe i had to walk in. as soon as i walk in a lady in the front greeted me very nicely, the service was 10/10 but there was just a special energy everyone was super nice the food was delicious the pancakes were so fluffy & warm the whole time i was there they made sure i was okay & had everything i needed no bad vibes at all & i enjoyed eating in.“

“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.“

“Okay so this place was 10/10!!!!!!! Y'all food was amazing, friendly staff and affordable prices. I was greeted as soon as I came in and seated. The bathrooms were clean and our server Rhonda was so attentive and friendly! If you're in the area check them out!!!!“

“Came here for the first time to try out their soups. Wow!! I am impressed. I was amazed with the variety of options. I got the Broccoli & Cheddar soup and it was ?. I'm definitely going to be a regular customer here. Can't wait to try other soups and sandwiches“

“Looking for a quick bite to eat!? Something fulfilling, reasonable and good, this is the place to stop at whether on your way to work or after running errands lol Hostess was friendly as well as the chef! I got the salmon & grits platter with cheese fries and my cousin got the French toast sandwich with eggs, sausages and bacon!“

“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.“

“There is a waitress there by the name of Jolie. She. Makes you feel very comfortable. Tony is a fantastic cook and the atmosphere is friendly and down to earth. I've gotten to be a regular. It's starts my morning off right eating at this diner.“

“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.“

“This place has been a staple for a long while now. Breakfast of fish and grits is my favorite and fish and shrimp with fries when I'm feeling like fish on Friday. Had recent company that seriously had a thing for the French toast I got them. The cooks are doing something right.

Parking: There is a lot out front. It's never overcrowded but can look dark at night. Yet the bus stop and traffic patterns are usually busy enough to counter it feeling unsafe.“

“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“

“Ordered Sunny Platter: Pork Round Sausage, Grits and Eggs it was absolutely delicious breakfast. Place near my neighborhood. Saw the breakfast place on DoorDash as an option. Completely worth the food experience. Will be ordering again in the future!“

“I love Egg white omelet but I can't get him from just any place on this visit the egg white omelet was exceptionally delicious the young lady who waited on me was quite pleasant and helpful even prepared my coffee exactly the way I like I will definitely be returning to this place“

“I love this place. I teach at Temple, so when I'm in the area I stop in. They're closed on Mondays, so be mindful. The food is always consistent, good, hot, fresh and I usually call ahead because they're often times busy. But, the food is on point!!!“

“Matzo ball soup is the best I've ever had. I only eat it from here! The open face turkey platter is so delicious I always get it from here. This is me and my mother's lunch date every time we go shopping or doctors appt we stop here to eat!“

“Hubs and I are on vacation and we literally just Googled breakfast places near us. We try to eat local when we travel and avoid chain restaurants so we chose this one based on the reviews. And it did not disappoint! The food is great and there’s plenty of it! I had the western omelette and home fries and could not finish it. Hubs got two eggs, bacon, sausage and home fries and also could not finish. The service is excellent, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. A must try!!“

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

“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.“

“Waffles with strawberries, bananas, blue berries, whip cream is to die for.. they are super friendly… I love this place“
