The pasta dishes are better than most if not all of there other restaurants in wc. You can tell when effort is put into every dish and the chefs put full effort to make every bite as good as the last.”

Highly recommend the Tara latte or strawberry latte with their respective boba!!!! We got a menu and want to make our way through it! If you don’t like boba, the Oreo smoothie was delicious as well! The ambiance inside is very nice and calming as well! I will be back!”

“Best Coffee in Chester County!”

“Yoris made the absolute most delicious birthday cake for my sisters 50th birthday! The cannoli filling was wonderful and the cake was decorated beautifully. Thank you for helping to make her birthday so special.”

“Had my first Roots experience today! The cafe is beautiful, staff is fantastic, and the food is incredible! Cannot wait to go back❤️”

“This used to be my favorite spot. They've gone downhill the past few years. They used to have a variety of good, unique dishes. Now it's like going to taco bell where everything on the menu uses the same 5 ingredients. Now has the feel of a once good restaurant that got mixed up with an equity partner that tossed identity and quality to the side to maximize profits until bankrupting the place.

Original: This is one of my top 3 restaurants. This is one of those restaurants where you can pretty much order anything on the menu and it will be amazing. It's been a little while since I've been there but I often dream of the cocoa rubbed pork chops I've had there a few times. It was mind-blowing amazing. And, this is the kind of place where the sides that come your entree, are just as amazing. I can't wait to go back.”

“Such a good sushi place. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, and the rolls were packed with flavor. Great service and a really chill atmosphere. The chicken hibachi was mine and my boyfriend’s favorite! I’ll definitely be back!”

“Wonderful experience with friends on a Thursday evening. We love the food choices for the 3 course meal. Everyone good was delicious. Thank you. We will be back.”

“Amazing experience at The Pear last night! Matt and Francesca were both wonderful. Delicious food. If you haven’t made it out here yet definitely book a res and go. Soooo good.”

“Wow… this place is incredible. Awesome wings that are meaty and they have great flavor choices. I love the Italian herb. Pizza (try the Grandma) Sicilian and NY style are available. Great selection of food with daily specials. We ate outside which is covered by cool sails. Inside seating as well as a separate picnic table section. Dog friendly with water bowls. Pizza stands are empty crushed tomato containers. Super friendly staff Plenty of free parking and they have music on some nights.”

“Bar Avalon always delivers! The food, service, and ambiance are consistently amazing. We tried the wine and dinner pairing for the first time last night and were blown away—perfectly matched courses and a knowledgeable waitress made it a standout experience. A perfect date night. We’ll definitely be doing it again!”

“After living in the borough for 3 years, finally made it here. I was hesitant because the fixed menu intimidated me. Not to worry! All courses were excellent! Service was outstanding. Highly recommend.”

“Waited 40 minutes for hush puppies while the restaurant was nearly empty at 3pm. Primary food order came 5 minutes later and my son’s order was wrong. It’s a shame because the food is good. But the service has been so slow both times I’ve been here. They did comp his meal. Just expect to wait a while and enjoy your drinks. Don’t come if you’re in a hurry.”

“Great spot indoors or out.”

“There is nothing on the menu you can order and not like. Seriously. Everything is freshly made with locally sourced ingredients, recipes are well thought out and meticulously made with the absolue best combinations. All baked goods are baked daily on site and are the closest you will get to what heaven is. Service is superb. Servers are friendly, outgoing, knowledgeable and go out of their way to make sure you're having an excellent experience. It may be small inside and have a small parking lot but that's the appeal. It's like a little cozy home! Don't let another day go by without trying! It's THAT good! ?”

“Stopped past the one in Downingtown today for lunch I had the Birria tacos and the beef Quesadilla the food was very good and refreshing. Made to order. Mimi waitied on us and she was very polite and friendly with a flashy smile. I will recommend. & I will definitely be eating here again :)”

“I cannot rave more about our experience today. The manager Steve returned my call right away when booking for my larger party … it was clear he is super well-organized. Service with Chris was exceptional. Everyone loved the food & drinks ~ plenty of tasty options for vegetarians and folks with Celiac’s. This continues to be my go-to restaurant in WC! Thank you!”

“What an incredible place, I loved the food and service. My son and I simply love the food and the atmosphere. Ms Mabel is very friendly and welcoming. Great place, can wait to try their jumbo shrimp and brisket!”

“Kudos to Philly Hots for a delicious menu for our Durango IEA kick off party. Unanimously all 60 guests loved their food and were impressed with the quick turnaround. Tom and Kevin were awesome! I definitely recommend “Philly Hots” for your next party. I know they’re #1 on my list for our next event. Thanks Tom and Kevin!”

“Muy rica comida y mucha variedad”

“I've been trying to try this place forever. Every time I tried it's closed or out of dough lol. I hear it's incredible and looking at pics it's exactly my type of pizza that I love. Please owners of this place help me lol!!! I wanna try it so bad!!!”

“The staff are very nice and accommodating in addition to the good and fresh food I usually get the beef tacos and love them. I highly recommend this restaurant in West Chester.”

“It was very quick and nice service in here. However, my Mac and cheese was hard. I let the server know but didn’t mind paying for it as I ate it anyways because I was hungry. Mike came over and told us he took it off our bill and gave us a free kids meal card :) thanks!”

“Best bar around. Good friends, neighbors and non-judgemental. Everyone is welcome.”

“I don’t pretend to be a ramen connoisseur, but I know I enjoy the heck out of Rai Rai.”

“I went here for the first time in many years, having been many years ago in the mid to late 90s. It has changed some - slightly different location on corner of the block and a bit smaller than I remember but still a cool vibe. Definitely a unique experience as there aren’t too many Cajun restaurants in the area and it made me miss New Orleans. Fun mardi-gra-esque decor. We had the Cajun pork dumplings as an appetizer- quite spicy and flavorful. Tasty homemade bread with flavored butter. My husband got the seafood fra diavolo and it had lots of seafood in it - shrimp, scallops, calamari and crawfish with linguine. He said it had a nice kick to it and enjoyed it. \nI had the crawfish etouffe and it was okay but honestly pretty bland. I ended up asking for hot sauce to add to it and that made it much better. Deserts were really tasty - I had the bourbon pecan pie and husband had bananas foster. Great service. \nWe will definitely come back.”

“8 of us were in at Steaks today. What a great experience. Food was amazing but the service was even better. Thank you again”

“On a rare Saturday off I was able to secure a seat at the bar and being a “regular” that felt great! They were SO busy today and I want to give the highest marks to Sydney and Phil for treating everyone with a smile! They hustled and no one waited for their brew! #LoveLevante”

“Ordered a quiche to bring home (cheese and bacon, light on the onion) and it was fantastic! It was fully baked but I found it better heated for 15 minutes at 300 degrees in the oven on a baking rack because the bottom crust was a little underdone. Lots of raves and served five with seconds for some.”

“Great food, great service, the display case is always filled with cakes, novelties etc. They have more blizzard flavors then most DQ's I've been too. On top of their prices being cheaper then other DQ's in the area they always run sales so I save even more. With inflation I'm always in for a Sale?”

“Benny’s is my favorite pizza place in all of West Chester! Super friendly staff, clean restaurant, fair prices, and great portion sizes. I tried their Caesar salad today and it was so fresh- a perfect amount of dressing and they didn’t skimp on the protein! The pizza is always the best and their garlic bread rocks. Absolutely coming back!”

“We had a small snafu when we accidentally ordered from the wrong Bravo pizza for our teachers, and didn’t realize until we got there! The owner (sad I didn’t catch his name) jumped right in and said I’ve got this for you! He and his team quickly made us five pizzas, that were out of this world. And while we waited, the delicious smells and freshly made pasta salads made me more hungry than I thought! This will be our new spot to order for special lunch days, whether it’s a good slice of pie, a wrap/hoagie or pasta dish! It’s hard to find great food with superior service and ownership! Thanks Bravo!”

“Food is always consistently good. We were there a few weeks ago when on a Wednesday. Apparently there was some group in a side room. Our waitress was MIA most of the meal after she dropped off our food. No refills on drinks when we needed it. Then it took twenty minutes to get our check. Everyone around us was also complaining. One waitress for ten tables? It is obvious they were paying more attention to the larger party in the side room. . They need to hire more waitstaff. It spoiled the outing.”

“Best coffee I’ve had since I’ve been in the USA, and only 2 other coffee shops back home in London that I feel come fairly close to Gryphon Coffee… but Gryphon for me is #1 You will not be disappointed!!! Great atmosphere, great stuff, great food and most of all, the BEST coffee!!! ☕️”

“Always delicious and consistent with quality. I have never not enjoyed my meals here. Authentic and tasty with a vast menu. This is easily our goto Mexican restaurant and top 3 of all local joints. It's affordable and belly-filling. The kids love the chimichangas and tacos while my vegetarian wife loves their veggie burrito and chips. I love their corn tort tacos with any of the give or six proteins. Their homemade sauces are incredible especially the habanero sauce. Friendly staff highlight the authentic delicious offerings. Don't hesitate to eat here. It'll become your favorite.”

“Try em jawns dey got the best food nd dis onbbbbb ion playin ya should go hit em up”

“Mikes Pizza has been a home away from home for me for over 25 years. Their Mikes Special Italian Hoagie and Cheesesteak are hands down the best I've ever had. I always order a basket of fries to accompany my meal, and they never disappoint. But it's not just the food that keeps me coming back. The atmosphere at Mikes Pizza is warm and welcoming, and the staff treats me like family every time I walk through the door. From the friendly banter to the personalized service, I always feel right at home. I still remember when they had their pin ball machine many many years ago. So much fun. Each time has been a memorable experience. I can't imagine finding another restaurant that could ever replace the special place that Mikes Pizza holds in my heart. If you're looking for delicious food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere, look no further than Mikes Pizza. You won't be disappointed.”

“Best hoagies and sandwiches”

“Oh my! Such a friendly and handy market. Love their Eagle game hoagie specials for $5! Highly recommend the Italian special. 😋”

“we have gone here for many years. always delicious.”

“The EXACT type of Chinese food I’ve been searching for in this area, reminds me so much of the style my family used to order for takeout when I was younger.

Reasonable prices, great portion size, delicious taste, and fast service!

We ordered the Vegetable Lo Mein (and asked for tofu in it which they graciously added), Steamed Dumplings, and Sesame Chicken Combo (which comes with Pork Fried Rice and an Egg Roll). Everything was under $30 and super tasty, highly recommend this place!”

“Pretzels are always fresh and hot, the party trays are always a hit.”

“Good for sushi or Japanese cuisine lovers raw and cooked options, only disappointment was looking for a bento box maybe a future menu addition. Scale of 1 to 10 a solid 8 1/2”

“Found Mayday on Instagram before it opened and I felt like the piece of the west coast I was missing was finally arriving locally. Literally a dream of mine: a coffee shop with west coast easy bright energy, plants & niche gifts, flowers, cozy. And the whole mental health origin of the name … 🫶🏼. Just truly one of my favorite places to just be. And every one of us loves it! My husband loves the egg & sausage sandwich and our girls love the hot chocolate and vanilla beignets. The s’more iced latte w/ oat is 🤌🏼. Definitely a must try. ☕️”

“I didn't catch her name, but she offered me a taste of the lemon meringue pie with pieces of Graham Cracker ice cream... all I can say is... YUMMMMMY!!! I'M DEFINITELY GOING BACK!!!”

“Most Delicious West African Food, menu includes vegan options, pescatarian options, and gluten free options.”

“Best Tocos in West Chester! Was hesitant at first because Al pastor at restaurants is usually disappointed, but I was not let down. Only minor complaint, is they could double tortillas for the tocos, and skip the thin paper that individually wraps around the tocos, cause paper started to fall apart too easily and had to make sure it didn't rip and fall into the food. I'll be back!”

“Some of the best coffee around the owner is an absolute delight to work with definitely recommend stopping in”
