“A couple weeks ago, I was working from this location, outside in the heat along with a few other people, waiting for my daughter to finish school. The Starbucks barista noticed the day was growing hotter and brought all of us some water (unprompted). It was a thoughtful gesture that didn't go unnoticed. I don't know your name but you know who you are and I'm ever grateful for your thoughtfulness and generosity to your patrons. If anyone else has her name, please offer this review to her manager.“
“Beautiful little cafe that with coffee bar and sweets. Their desserts are perfect - not too sweet and truly works of art. We had the matcha cake, chocolate cake, bunny cake, and soft cheesecake and couldn't decide on a favorite because they were all that delicious.“
“Just moved into the neighborhood & decided to take a walk. I saw this tucked inside a little shopping center & now I regret it. Should have stuck with Dunkin Donuts bc after eating an everything bagel w/cream cheese from there, I’m addicted. I almost walked back for another one it was that good AND I don’t want to be addicted to another carb. Lol. I more than likely will get my fix tomorrow. Great customer service & very friendly. I have a new bagel place.“
“I've tried Top Hat Coffee Lounge by the UPenn campus, but I'm glad I discovered this new location! It's definitely hidden within a plaza and is situated within the walkway as you exit Saks Fifth Avenue. While the space is small, there is still plenty to order in terms of drinks and several pastries as well. The staff greeted us with a very warm welcome and was patient while we decided on our drinks. My friend and I both ordered oat matcha lattes, which were delicious and tasted like high-quality matcha as we were told :) The added perk is that he did not charge us for substituting our milk with oat milk, so thank you for that!“
“Delicious food, fresh ingredients, tasty coffee, and friendly service. My husband and I stopped in for our first visit and loved everything we ordered. You can tell they put a lot of care and attention into the quality of the ingredients and the options on the menu. We've officially found our local go-to breakfast spot!“
“Very nice quiet atmosphere. Very peaceful and I loved seeing the daughter and Mom duo. It's was refreshing to see considering I brought my daughter along with me. The Boba my daughter ordered wasn't sweet to her liking, and she was going to add additional sugar, however the owner called my daughter over to fix the drink. It's the little things and this business has it! ❤️“
“A great place. Been open many years. Recently on TV for their Anniversary. Sometimes crowded but they are quick and move fast. You can get breakfast sandwiches all day which is a plus. Coffee very good, another plus. Only takes cash, no big deal to me. Grew up in South Philly and local neighborhood places the same. Got scrapple, egg & cheese, bacon, egg & cheese, peppers , egg & cheese. All outstanding. Owner Bruce and his wife working up front, working, greeting and monitoring everything.“
“Decided to travel here for an impromptu late lunch last Tuesday. We've been here before because The Landing Kitchen offers so much more than great food and beverage selections. It also is home to such an accessible space overlooking the Schuylkill (skoo-kill) River. It sits across from Manayunk and can be accessed by walking bridge that spans the river. There are walking paths along the river and at The Landing Kitchen outdoor space there is a bocce court, ping pong table, corn hole, a giant Connect 4 game and other items. There is protected dining outside and also propane heaters and a fire pit strategically located. Back to food, my wife enjoyed their signature chicken sandwich and I opted for a bowl of outstanding Chorizo Corn Chowder and the TLK Burger. Chased it down with a Workforce IPA from King of Prussia and it too was an outstanding IPA. The Landing Kitchen also offers wine and cocktails, along with various coffee offerings as well. In season it really gets crazy busy, so now is a great time to pay a visit. They do breakfast sandwiches and other offerings as well. Salads and sides are equally satisfying. Cheers.Vegetarian options: I noticed a number of items that would be the perfect option. Simply check out the changing menu online.Parking: There is a small lot and there is the much larger lot that also services The Landing Kitchen, its more refined sister restaurant, LARK (that sits on the top floor of The Residence Inn that is all part of the complex). We have also dined at Lark while staying at the Residence Inn. It's a win-win.Kid-friendliness: Outdoor games, walking paths and the bridge across to Manayunk which features protected walking lanes. The bridge is basically used by cyclists.Wheelchair accessibility: Getting into inside seating is accessible. To go outdoors I believe you have to go back outside and simply swing around the corner of TLK to the riverside of the property to the outdoor seating and activity area.“
“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.“
“I initially thought Platform Z was a bit of a strange name for a poke place, but once arriving it was immediately obvious that the name was due to the fact that this place is inside of a cute little train station!The service here was absolutely outstanding. The staff who were present the night we went for date night were very kind, patient, and eager to help with menial tasks like even giving us a bag as we were walking out the door. The kitchen area itself was very clean and all of the food was fresh. The lighting in the restaurant itself was a little bit lacking in terms of atmosphere, but I don’t really fault this place for not having absolutely perfect feng shui.The food here was really good! The portion sizes on the poke bowls are honestly massive, easily enough for 3 meals. The boba in the boba tea was a little undercooked, but nothing to complain about. The miso soup here specifically was easily the standout out of everything we ordered, I don’t think I’ve had miso soup that good in months.Whether you’re just passing thru on your commute to work or you’re coming here for a date, I highly recommend!“
“Amazing.......from the pumpkin pie latte to the macarons! You have to try their breads as well. I bought the latte, macarons and bread, then sat in my car while sipping my coffee. After eating the milk cream bread me and my girlfriend went back in to buy more......that's how good everything was! Oh and the customer service was great. Don't mind the one star someone else posted!“
“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. “
“It’s a small quaint brunch place. I’ve never had anything but the spinach avocado toast. As long as they sell it I will only get this dish…. It’s that good. The toast has gotten smaller and obviously less avocado spread because of this. It was still satisfying. Plated beautifully.“
“Years ago bought fresh pasta when it was called Springfield Ravioli. Since then another good pasta place opened closer to me(Ridley) so haven't been here in a bit. I was looking for good breakfast sandwich in area. Web search, their name came up multiple times. Got scrapple , egg, cheese & son got red pepper, egg and cheese. Heard coffee was good. The sandwiches were great & quickly made. The coffee was fantastic, among best I've ever had. There were two types, a dark roast and a medium roast called "420". I believe locally roasted.“
“Absolutely love it here. Consistently good food, lovely staff, quick service. I recommend getting a croissandwich for salty with any of their pastries for sweet (chocolate almond is a favorite). The owners are often coming up with new flavors to try and cute presentations like the photo I’ll attach from around Christmas. Our go-to for getting a treat in town. I can’t recommend it enough.Vegetarian options: Croissants, croissandwiches , Bahn-mi“
“My go-to spot for coffee in the neighborhood! Great drinks and food with plenty of vegetarian/vegan options, and the baristas are all super-friendly! Love the inclusion of a community fridge on-site and their recovery-friendly mission. Highly recommend them, and I'm super psyched that they're opening another location closer to me soon!“
“This bakery was recommended as the best place for tres leches cake in the area and it didn't disappoint. I got a neapolitan and it was absolutely delicious! It was so fun to have three different cake flavors in one! I can't wait to go back with my family and sample some “
“No dine in, takeout only with a few outside tables. The bahn mi and the pho were yummy! We will order from there again. The fried pork dumplings were divine! I could have eaten 10 of them. The spring rolls had huge leaves of mint or Thai basil in them and it was way too much. Not sure if that is the traditional way to make them or what but I’ve never had a spring roll that tasted like that before. I couldn’t finish.“
“The best breakfast I've ever had! The Vegan Blueberry Pancake OMG!!! I could literally have this every day - can't wait to go back and try more of their dishes. Cute place, wonderful service!Vegetarian options: SO happy I could be a vegan and eat there!“
“Yesterday morning, I stopped here for breakfast after seeing they offer vegan options on Happy Cow, and it hit the spot. The cafe was clean and organized. The staff were very friendly and fun, and even though there were several guests before me, I didn’t have to wait long. They have plenty of outdoor seating and a few tables inside. I got a spiced coffee with oat milk which was really tasty, and a vegan Philly muffin breakfast sandwich with hummus. I was very satisfied with the amount of food I received and the flavors. The everything Philly muffin is the way to go! I decided to grab a vegan scone on the way out which made for a delicious fika in a nearby park later. Will happily return!Vegetarian options: Can’t say much for vegetarians, but there are definitely enjoyable vegan options. Tofutti cream cheese or hummus for sandwiches, all the plant milks, and vegan baked goods.“
“We finally visited our friend, Daniela, at Merenda Box. Her Brazilian treats, both savory and sweet, are amazing!The Queijo Waffle-wich (a breakfast sandwich on a GF cheesy waffle) was my favorite! But honestly, we all loved everything! And trust me when I say we tried it ALL!!Local friends, if you’re in Conshy, you MUST check out Merenda Box!!“
“Don't go here unless you want to take home a cat! Cute place with tasty food! The people that work here are amazing and have spent a lot of time helping us find the perfect cat. It can run a little expensive, but all the proceeds go to their cat adoption charity. There are many vegan options, which is nice. The pancake board is a hit with my kids. A great neighborhood spot!“
“It’s a small spot but don’t miss it! There are lots of different ice creams to try but on this night I was jonesing for a milkshake. It was a great choice! They use extra thick milk for the shakes and they come out smooth and thick! I loved my twicks bar one“
“First time here, not crowded at 3 pm Sunday, amazed by the fresh made donuts, love the service and love the food, we got mixture of each flavor to try out Oreo and crumble are great, kids love the confetti ones with strawberry cover! Maple Bacon donut is amazing, the mixture sweet and salty are strangely well combined! The lemon flavor one is also great! Overall these donuts are great!“
“This place was fantastic! Super chill vibes, friendly staff, and amazing board game selection with someone there to help select a game specific to what you’re looking for. Aside from that, the menu offers both vegan and gluten free options, as well as a large selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, to accommodate everyone’s needs/preferences. Will definitely be returning!“
“Buna Cafe is such a gem in the neighborhood. I’ve not had a chance to dine in yet, but their food via delivery has been outstanding. It’s always well-presented and carefully packaged, which just isn’t the case for all food deliveries. I’ve tried a number of the vegan sides, but I’ve found my groove with the veg platter, and it just makes me so happy! The shiro is amazing—smooth and creamy and so flavorful! I sometimes get it as a side in addition to the platter to have some to enjoy the next day. Definitely worth a visit or placing an order!“
“Loved visiting this cute Philadelphia themed coffee shop. The drinks are creative and delicious, and the service is wonderful. The patio outside was cozy and I enjoyed reading my book with my coffee. I'll have to go back to try the food.“
“Start off by saying I got a parking ticket because Ambler doesn’t know how to draw lines for parking spots. Besides that, this place has one of the best breakfast burritos I’ve ever had! On top of that, their coffee and lattes are phenomenal. The atmosphere and service were great and you felt very welcomed to be there. We will definitely be going back there again and again.“
“Tiny store yes, but good food and my tea was great! A little bit of a wait but that is to be expected. Staff were friendly. I wish I had checked out the upstairs but the stairs must be by the entrance and kinda hidden. A good place for studying, I'll likely become a regular. Free wifi, there are outlets for charging things. Def the kind of cafe that makes you wanna get work done (in my opinion). Note: Parking is mostly via a parking lot across the street and you have to pay for it but it wasn't too pricey (mine was $1 for like 2 hours?)“
“So cute! I don’t know why this the first tie I have been here but this place is adorable. Ladies, it’s tea time! Bring your friends! I will say that there could be more tea options for that price. Two tea choices? I would say 3 or 4 choices per party would be more appropriate for the price. Otherwise, love everything else!!!! The tea sandwiches, Yum! Especially the one with the pickled radish! And the little cookies! My pinky is coming out just thinking about that delightful experience. Love it! Thank you!Parking: A few spots. Try to get there early to see if you can get a spot when someone is pulling out“
“My wife, adult daughter and I visited for the first time today. As Francophones and French speakers, we were pleasantly surprised to hear some of the staff speaking French and how authentic this place is.The food, while slightly pricey, is WELL worth the trip. Haven't had a croissant that good since the last time we were in Paris. And the eggs were amazing - perfectly savory.Only negative is the tight squeeze. Recommend you only go with one other person, as all the tables are 2-tops. Chances of seating 3 or more people together, like us, was a challenge on a busy Friday. We were squeezed, for surePerfect place to go on a cold Sunday morning, pulling up a table for coffee and brunch.Parking: This place only seats about 25 people. No parking lot available, but street parking was ample at noon on a busy Friday“
“Very nice atmosphere, friendly baristas and reasonable wait time. Only disappointment was there was no dark roast options available. The coffee I had was good, but not good enough to buy a bag to take home. Maybe I just came at the wrong time?“
“I’m so impressed how they recently upgraded the quality of items from good to great! I’ve had multiple croissants that were delicious with amazing lamination and an almond tart that was also amazing. Bread is excellent quality. All well priced too!“

“I came in this morning for some coffee and LOVED the vibes!! The cafe is super chill with plenty of space to grab coffee, some food and get some work done. This location is inside the KOP mall for that midday retail therapy and the food court for some food that the cafe may not carry. Next time I come in I’ll try some food at Capitol One Cafe and update my review but for now the coffee and experience was great!!“
“Everything was great at the jem, ordered a breakfast platter with bacon as my choice meat. I was surprised that they didn't cheap out in the bacon. There were more pieces than I expected, and I was definitely not upset about it. The atmosphere was really busy, but the food was still right on time. Coffee was piping hot, and the wait staff was nice. What more could you really ask for? We will definitely be returning.“
“I stumbled across this place when I was doing an engagement shoot nearby but had to hop on a client call. I ordered a peach green tea refresher which was amazing and so much better than Starbucks. The wifi was great and super fast and it was an overall nice environment to work from. I really liked how late they were open. (I went in at 6:30pm) because all other options I could work from were closed.I would drive the distance just to come back for the atmosphere.“
“Absolutely beautiful pastries and sweet treats. We ordered a number of items, and especially liked the beignets, which were fluffy and sweet, but not too sweet!The individual cakes would be beautifully elegant to serve at a dinner party or brunch. Definitely recommend!“
“Parking: Parking Lot AvailableService: Cashier was friendly and quick to take our orders. We received our drinks shortly after.Atmosphere: Not too busy. Good place to chill, have some tea and do some work.Food: They also have food similar to all the other Kung Fu Tea’s. Food may take a little longer to come out as they are made upon order and not premade.Drinks: We got the Honey Oolong Milk Tea with Bubbles and the Honey Oolong Milk Tea with Herbal Jelly. Even though there are Kung Fu Tea’s everywhere, this location tastes better than the majority of the other ones.Verdict: Recommend coming here.“
“It's a very decent restaurant and my first impression was good.The restaurant provides a chic ambience, and it's decorated nicely. It gives a crisp and clean atmosphere for it hasn't even been six months since it opened last year. Service rendered was very good. Our server was polite, charming and efficient. Our food came out from the kitchen fairly quickly after we placed our orders.As is often the case for me, I tried Pho Tai for my first visit to establish a baseline for the goodness of a Vietnamese restaurant. Unfortunately, Pho Ngon was only just about average for me.Pho broth was very decent, but it wasn't the best. The beef was a little tough because it came out of the kitchen pretty much well-done. As for their Pad Thai... chicken was significantly under-flavored and had some texture issues per my wife.My pursuit for the best Pho in the area continues.Parking: There is ample parking space in this shopping center.“
“OMG those donuts are amazing and fresh!! The coffee is like real coffee ☕ not all sugar like some other places. Better than Starbucks!! Prices are worth every penny!!Wheelchair accessibility: It's hard to find parking there but if you are able to find parking in the back there's a way for a wheelchair to go I believe“
“Confident saying - anything positive you've read/heard about Green Engine is probably 100% legit. Drinks and pasteries are fantastic. Service is always very good. Been here many times. I'd recommend: hot vanilla latte & a toasted bagel with cashew butter. Sometimes it's hard to find seating...but that's because the place is justifiably popular.“
“Great, old time ice cream place. This would be the perfect spot to visit after a baseball game!I took my kids for an ice cream on a lazy Sunday afternoon this summer. The place was packed! However, the line moved fast.My younger son ordered the mint chocolate chip ice cream and my older son tried the moose tracks. (I took a taste of both)The mint chocolate chip was so delicious, it reminded me of ice cream I got from a little candy shop up in Northern Wisconsin when I was a kid. My older son said that their moose tracks was the best he's ever had.We will definitely go back!Only wish they had some gluten free cones or cookies.“
“I'd like to give this a 4.5, but that isn't an option. This is a wonderful place to get a very delicious and extensive variations to your boba tea. The reason I am giving it a four is that this store needs to get better at explaining the prices and add ons. I wasn't aware that the variations I requested changed the price. Had I known, I would have asked for the standard. Otherwise, great place. Only better boba tea place I have been to is in Altoona.“
“Kettle is a lovely quaint breakfast spot. The pancakes are delicious, and they have a number of great food options. I just wish they had more non-pork breakfast meat options, and served espresso. Otherwise, a great place to stop and grab a quick bite.“
“It's been 3 weeks since I arrived in the US from Italy and have been searching for coffee that resembles the amazing Italian coffee I'm used to. Well, today I found my place! The coffee is the best I've tasted so far since being here. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere very welcoming, relaxed and nice. Bonus: No loud music so you can have a good chat without having to talk too loud. Will be back soon!“
“‘feine is great! I came in the day of a large company meeting needing a LOT of coffee, and they made it happen! I spoke with the manager, who said they do catering and scheduled more coffee for the next day, which they delivered. If you’re looking for a local place with great coffee to cater, give them a call and they’ll take care of you.“
“This is the best coffee shop in the area. Quick, reasonable, amazing coffee, what more could you want? The seating area is on the smaller side but most people get coffees to go so seating wasn't a problem. One thing lacking here is the pastries/food which I think they could improve on.“
“A very nice spot and would like to come again. Menus are along the wall in the front. I didn't think the drink special options were too interesting at first but I ended up enjoying my pistachio rose latte $6 a lot. There weren't that many pastries left, lots of bagels and croissants but not as many other things like tarts. The raspberry almond tart for about $4 had a very good bite to it. I would eat a huge one! Seating was limited, no wonder since the quality and price is solid! I liked the music taste as well. Didn't need to wait long to order or receive my order. Area is kept very clean. Need to pay for parking in the area, parking on the street with quarters is more worth it than paying for the lot in the back.“
“Great coffee, breakfast treats/baked goods, and atmosphere. As a Nova staff member, it's a super convenient quick stop. The staff is so friendly and even when there are a lot of customers, they make sure to get people in and out. Always clean too!“
