Great place for coffee or lunch after a hike or stroll in the park. Coffee and food are always fresh.

Absolutely one of my favorite places for breakfast. Egg and cheese croissant had the perfect mix of cheesiness and egg, the croissant was also very well textured. Great location in the forest, only issue is that it's pretty difficult to get to for anything other than bike, making it more one of those places you go to if hiking, not if you're just getting breakfast or lunch.

Road my bike 45 minutes to get here for them to lock the door in my face at 2:30. Thanks for nothing.

Super cute place! Great vegan options. Really hits the spot after a long hike.
I overall have LOVED this cafe,but I’m extremely disappointed and ashamed of the way my friends were treated today. I invited my friends from out of state to one of my favorite coffee shops while I went for a run. They planned to drink coffee and get food, but first we’re settling in and chatting at their table, when my friend accidentally spilled some lotion. They were BERATED for using napkins, like they were doing something wrong for trying to clean up an HONEST ACCIDENT. They were yelled at and treated horribly by the staff who complained and created a scene over NAPKINS. I’m extremely upset with how my friends review here was replied to, where the manager defamed her character and maligned her. Telling a WOC how her behavior wasn’t “attractive” to you is EXTREMELY offensive. Saying “this is a small business not a park” is extremely presumptuous and condescending. My friends had every intention of purchasing goods up until they were yelled at publicly. I understand this is a small business, but they just lost my friends as customers who would have spent likely 20/30 dollars between coffee and food.I love the vibe of this place usually - it’s so cute and charming - but the obsession around the napkins during the confrontation and the doubling down in the comments on my friends review really needs to be examined. Mistakes happen. Your comment back to my friend was hateful.

My boyfriend and a couple other friends came there today. My boyfriend and I were from out of town. Unfortunately, when we got settled, we discovered my boyfriend’s lotion exploded in his backpack. We were doing our best to clean up the mess and then someone who works at the coffee shop screamed at us and was extremely disrespectful. Not only did she scream at us, she did this in front of other customers which was extremely disrespectful and distasteful. We had no ill intent and didn’t deserve such treatment. I am not sure if this was racially motivated or not, but nobody deserves to be spoken to the way we were spoken to. It was a really unfortunate experience to have as tourists in a beautiful city. I would have given 0 stars if that was an option. The manager or some of the employees are very particular so remember to ask before using anything.

Loved the bagels. Long line, but can see why. Great place to sit under the trees and people watch. Lots of healthy people around.

Amazing breakfast sandwich but, more importantly, it’s nestled in the woods at the entrance of Forbidden Dr. Squirrels, chipmunks, and birds are gathered around thrown peanuts and feeders around the cafe. There are indoor and outdoor seats, some on a hill hidden behind the cafe. It is a near perfect aesthetic. Also, they serve la colombe coffee and ice cream.

I have come here a few times either after or between some walks along the Wissahickon. I appreciate the fact that there's a cute cafe at one end of the park. The food has always been good and the service is fantastic! The coffee is okay, I would stick with iced coffees and plain espresso because they tend to make the milk too hot. There are a lot of tables outside available for patron use. Overall, I think this is a unique and fun cafe!Parking: There is a small walk very close to the entrance of the park. It gets filled up during busy times, so parking may not be available.
Cute place after walking along creek
