“A nice place for a quick morning beverage and bagels. We stopped in for 3 cinnamon raisin bagels, ordered litely spread cream cheese on the bagel for our toddler, regular amount for my wife and I. As I waited, I was watching as our bagels were sliced, put into the toaster, then had the cream cheese added.The bagels came to us burnt on the edges.I could have ordered them litely toasted and this would have been remedied, other than that, our cream cheese cinnamon raisin bagels were enjoyed.Thanks for our late morning snack.The staff were pleasant and friendly, so stop by when you are in the area, The shop has plenty of choices from bagels to other food items, along with hot and cold morning breakfast drinks.Come in you can eat here or get it to go.See you soon.“
“Took a friend out for lunch for her birthday. We shared the shrimp and crab roll and I got the Pad Khing with tofu, and opted for the soup. My friend got the green curry with tofu. Everything was delicious! Next time I’ll ask for more spice. Great lunch price point as well.Vegetarian options: You can get tofu with any dish as the protein.“
“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.“
“Great restaurant. My server was kind and gsve great suggestions based off of my likes.Wheelchair accessibility: This place is not wheelchair accessible as there is not a ramp to avoid the steps to the front door and tables are placed closely together.“
“Great service, friendly people, and the food is amazing!! Super tasty and yummy! Prices aren’t bad at all! They FEED you that’s for sure! Go check it out if you haven’t tried it yet!! You won’t be disappointed. Definitely recommend!“
“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.“
“I ate at L’Anima for the first time last night … it was perfection from the service to the food preparations … I had the Bronzino which was so delicious … their salad special was excellent too … if you’re in Philly check this restaurant out …“
“Had a truly delightful meal here! Everything was so fresh and flavorful. The hummus was spectacular. The Brussel sprouts were SO crispy, some of the best I've ever had. I really enjoyed the chicken shish I got for my entrée. My mom got the falafel and said it was delicious.Highly recommend making a reservation. This place gets busy, quickly. Several folks had to be turned away because they didn't have one. And this was on a Thursday night.“
“We came at iftar time during Ramadan so the place was so crowded. We decided to order for take out however we managed to get a table but the food was already packed.I would like to give another try for the lamb Haneeth & Fahsa since it wasn’t that tasty. The lentils soup and Areka were delicious.The service is 10 out of 5 they were very welcoming and friendly. Even while they were swamped with work but they managed to pay attention to their customers professionally.Great atmosphere and authentic Yemeni food. Hopefully I will have to pay a visit after Ramadan.The overall experience is great.“
“Attic is my new favorite Philly brewery! For starters, their beer menu was AWESOME! Attic offers a variety of different brews, and there's something for everyone. We tried almost every one on the menu, and there wasn't a single one that wasn't fantastic. I was a big fan of the sage gose: earthy, not too sour, incredibly thirst quenching. I also loved the Bloodhound Brown Ale (GABF Silver Medal winner!) While there were not cats wandering around, most of their beers are cat themed including Cat Boss IPA and Electric Whiskers. They have great merch, including posters, shirts, and hats -- all catering to my cat-loving heart. They have a plethora of indoor seating including tables, comfy couches and chairs, and barstools. Cat friendly? I'm a fan. There was a food truck and a cool BBQ place next door....but otherwise it's BYOF. Attic also has PARKING! All in all, I loved Attic. The rustic philly-chic homey-ness of the bar, the friendly staff, the cat-themed beers, and the menu offerings. I can't wait to come back!“
“Food: 5 out of 5 Menu: 3.5 out of 5 Service: 4.5 out of 5 Ambiance: 5 out of 5 Value for money: 3 out of 5 The hummus is pretty addictive and can be ordered with interesting toppings such as minced beef or mushrooms. This hummus will make its place in my personal top 5 list and pairs really well with the soft, fluffy pitas. The lunch menu is pretty tiny, so you don't have too many options besides the hummus - just a chicken schnitzel platter or a vegetarian equivalent with eggplant. The place does get full, so a reservation is highly recommended for any meal. Service was warm and attentive and I enjoyed my meal with friends. There isn't much to dislike about this place besides the limited menu and the steep pricing. Even in an era where inflation is a known problem, Dizengoff surprised me with a bill of $30 for a bowl of hummus with mushrooms, 2 pita breads, and a small-ish glass of frozen hibiscus lemonade.“
“Superb service and phenomenal food! Fun atmosphere for a quick bite, after work wind down, date night, or time with friends. Excited for the live music and other events.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan options that will satisfy all cravings.Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegan options! Chef is crazy cool and accommodating.“
“Have seen a lot of people say “delightful” and that’s an apt description. Family shop that you can tell, but what they’ve built is absolutely a marvel. Beautiful place, tons of coffee options, generous sizes without sacrificing it looking/being nice, food’s great too and rotating and actual thought seems to have gone into it rather than just pumping out 15 different croissants or something.“
“I brought my dog here 2x so far and we absolutely love it here! The food is AMAZING! The staff are super friendly, attentive and go out of their way to get to know you and your pup to make sure everyone is having a great experience. We drive 1hr each way each time just to come here! My 5month old puppy loves coming here and getting the socialization he needs from humans and dogs alike!“
“I had the early gray milk tea with pearl boba and milk foam. It was amazing and they even put it in my reusable 16oz coffee cup!The place is so clean and the gentleman behind the counter was super helpful. I will for sure be back to try other flavors.“
“Bonkers.Pastries (Leak & Feta Croissant, Bananas Foster Bun) were a perfect balance of crazy crisp and chewy. Savory or sweet, they get it right.Fagioli was delicious and a perfect partner to the sandwiches.As a hybrid (veg/meat) couple, appreciated the make your own Egg Sandwich. Minor structural issues as one reviewer mentioned, but totally worth the engineering!Ordered via delivery and everything was thoughtfully packaged.“
“This brewery is located at 5th street and Spring Garden street. It has a varied menu and I tried the hummus platter which was rich and smooth. Very fresh vegetables and warm pita triangles. A love stout vanilla beer which was smooth n creamy. My friend had an American burger with fries "very juicy" she like the fries too. My other friend had pork belly on bao buns steamed he said it was okay but he isn't pleased with most things unless his Mom makes it. Service was fantastic!! We ate outside in an enclosed area with ceiling heaters. Quieter. Inside there is a rectangular bar and a huge room filled with Highwood and picnic tables with TVs all around. A great place to meet friends and hangout to watch sports. There beers are excellent.“

“Delicious, fantastic vegan options, had a matcha bun and the grandma tofu which was great! I'm looking forward to being in suburban station again so I can try more menu items.Vegetarian options: Bao and other options for vegetarians and vegans are great and definitely not boring!Dietary restrictions: Nice vegan and vegetarian options!“
“Was there last night for early dinner and stayed to see the Eagles first TD. Food was fresh and extremely tasty. The vibe here is great. The service was excellent. Our server, Max, was very personable and gives very good recommendations. Max is not the only server like this. It seems to be the culture there. They have a lot of loyal customers. When we left the was a couple looking for a place to eat and watch the game. I quickly recommended Glory. If in Old City and near Chestnut and 2nd give them a try. You won’t be disappointed.“
“Mabu is a neighborhood gem with intimate ambience, incredible food, and just a real sense of taste in everything from the decor to menu curation. It’s a French countryside vibe… and extremely affordable. BYOB helps. The sheppards pie, duck confit, ratatouille, and omg the BANANA PUDDING! I secretly don’t want to tell people about it, so it can remain in this state of perfection for my family’s personal use… but I also hope they stay open and need more foot traffic! Food takes a while to come… but so what? This place is for lingering and enjoyment.“
“Hey, folks, just gonna share some thoughts on Asad's Hot Chicken. Been around for a bit now in West Philly, and gotta say, those two-piece BIG OLE chicken fingers with fries? Yeah, they're kinda hitting different. I mean, you wouldn't expect much, just some chicken and fries, right? But these chicken fingers? They've got this subtle heat, this crunch that's kinda addictive. And the fries? Simple, but slightly spicy. It gives old bay-ish seasoning, but they just work, you know? Service? It serves. And the vibe at Asad's? It's cool, laid-back. Like, you walk in, and it's like, "Yeah, I could hang here for a bit...just a little. lol (Not the biggest place and there's no chairs or tables. Strictly pick-up.) So, if you're ever in the area and feeling peckish, might as well swing by Asad's Hot Chicken. Give those two-piece chicken fingers with fries a shot. Can't hurt, right? What's your fave hot chicken spot?“
“Had not eaten the food, so I can't comment. But having worked as a fine dining bartender in Los Angeles, I was blown away by their cocktails. Their menu made the mixology need in me geek out. My friend and I went there for a quick drink between movies on Christmas day. And we were very pleased with the experience.“
“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.“
“This place gives me nostalgia. There’s something about it that reminds me of being in Burlington Vermont coupled with the laidback apathetic individuality of living through 90s grunge era and listening to Elliott Smith and Neutral Milk Hotel. The interior aesthetic isn’t try hard (they showcase local art on the walls and theres a less-is-more vibe), but theres still a cozy sip-slow-and-linger feel. What sets it apart from other places for me is the muted warmth from the people who work there. The kind where you know if you become a regular you’ll get a half smile and they might remember your name, really adds to the overall charm.And even if this place had none of that going for it, the breakfast sandwiches alone are worth a 30-minute walk. Not only are they only like 6 bucks, but they are delicious. The eggs are incredibly well-seasoned, fluffy, and scrumptious. They also have unique lattes, like Cinnamon Toast Crunch (it actually tastes like it) and their matchas are spot on.Even though there’s at least a dozen coffee shops much closer to us, this is our go-to.“
“The best water ice, hands down. The prices are good, they use fresh fruit, and the flavors are delicious. Staff is kind and quick. even with long lines it’s still a pleasure to go here because it moves fast. I am always sad when they close for the season! This is a neighborhood- and Philadelphian- staple and I’m so glad it is part of our community.“
“A wide variety of delicious comfort foods in a hip space with friendly service. They also have several economical frozen to-go meals that are ready to microwave and came out fantastic. Even my non-vegan 20 year old loved them. This is one of the top spots in Philly for tasty sandwiches and soups, whether you're vegan or not. l will be coming here more often!“
“Good coffee and the baristas seem nice and approachable. Not a cafe I would hang out in, but I prefer that it's an easy and friendly grab and go spot. Lots of good drinks and snacks to come back and try. And it's not too expensive which is appreciated. Don't forget to tip too! :)“
“I've always had good baked goods here - it's becoming a traditional stop when we come to the city! Best things I've had here are the maple oatmeal scones and the brown butter pound cake - phenomenal! What baked goods are supposed to taste like!“
“Bao Nine is such a cute place to eat at. Thankfully, the food matches the atmosphere! The food is fresh, light, and delicious. The prices are great and the combo options make it easy to try a little of everything. I enjoyed my first time at Bao Nine and will surely be going back whenever I'm in the neighborhood.“
“Came here with some friends over the summer and absolutely loved it. The food truck outside was delicious and the drinks were tasty. This place has a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Great place to grab drinks and hangout! Will be returning.“
“My friends and I went here for Wednesday night quizzo and it was really fun! The place is a nice size, lots of seating. I don't normally like beer but get fomo when at brewery's, so I tried the "I pick things up and put them down" (and got a small size) and I finished it, which I normally never do so that's a good sign. I thought the place was kind of warm, but maybe that's just me lol. the appetizers weren't that bad, we tried the hummus and the Buffalo chicken dip, but for the price I expected a little more. It's definitely just quick bar food. My friends enjoyed their Cuban sandwich though. Would definitely go back for quizzo!“
“Went midweek for lunch. Reservations are highly recommended. The place was packed by 12:30pm. French bistro style food with an American twist on dishes. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly, so just ask about dishes and recommendations, but everything was amazing. Very cool and laid-back feel to this place. Reasonable for the quality of food but expect $30 for lunch and $50+ for dinner.“
“good beer selections and one of the best burgers I've had no I can't remember how long. For real best in region ?♥️Went again last night with the family. Our youngest turned 21 and wanted to go to Lucky's. The staff made him feel special. Very cool“
“I revisit Joy Cafe (which is the newest name/incarnation for Soy Cafe) whenever I'm in NoLibs. It always leaves me feeling incredibly healthy and happy. Soy/Joy Cafe is in my top two vegan restaurants in all of Philly. My favorite dish here is the ramen with BBQ seitan. The seitan is just so very tasty. Everything here, from the seitan, to the vegan cream cheese, is homemade. My husband gets the carrot lox sandwich which includes the housemade cream cheeze along with red onions, carrot lox, and more, on many choices of really excellent bread. Don't leave without getting a smoothie! I tend to get the Green Giant, but the Coco Loco is also really yummy. Eat in the back garden on a nice day!“
“Got to the restaurant at 6th and Bainbridge for the first time, since having a fantastic experience at the food truck. The restaurant was incredible! Food was absolutely delicious. Location and vibe were great. And service was outstanding. Hope to see Algorithm continue to thrive!“
“SO Good!! Lost Bread is a bakery and mill in Philadelphia. I found their table at the entrance to the Schuylkill River Park. The table is unassuming, yet filled with so much. They had Table Bread, Whole Grain Croissant, Deli Rye, Spelt Handpies, Milk Buns, Oat Bar, and Cranberry Bran Muffins. I opted for the Pretzel Shortbread Crisps, which are so yummy. They have lasted all week and I already can't wait for the next batch!“
“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!“
“Super cute place that gives off a family-owned and family-friendly feel. I loved their names on the wall! The ice cream was delicious and they have a wide variety of options - cookies, cones, milkshakes, etc. I ordered a pistachio ice cream and the man scooping it even put a little flower on top! Everyone was very friendly.“
“Great place to enjoy a lovely meal. It can get busy on weekends so, reservations are recommended. The outside tables are nice but can be too close to each other. Drinks are nice, reasonably priced and the food is delicious for the most part. We enjoyed everything but thought the sauteed calamari were a bit overrated. Will go back for brunch.“
“Great spot for Happy Hour (lasts until 6pm), and love that you can make a reservation in advance. Service was friendly and attentive but not overbearing. They were quick to clear things which was helpful since we were at a small table. Atmosphere is cozy. We got happy hour drinks (rose, red, and a Venetian spritz) as well as two of their cheese boards. The Gorgonzola stuffed figs were a bit intense as the name might suggest, but we liked what they had otherwise. Spritz was $9 Wines were $7 Boards were $9 each“
“Warm and friendly, relaxed atmosphere. George I’ll assume the owner/manager, came out and chatted with us. Shared the history and that everything is made fresh like in your own kitchen and the pasta is mass daily. Very very perfectly seasoned and moist, everything ♥️ Thank you George. Max & Gary.“
“Zesty's is like being in Greece without the hassle of flying. The owner is totally hands on. He takes pride in every dish that leaves his kitchen. His menu is memorable. My family has been enjoying Zesty's for over 11 years. My grandchildren's Christening parties have been celebrated at Zesty's. Last night my family celebrated my grandson's birthday here.Everyone,regardless of age, is welcome. Live music enhanced our evening. Thank you,Tom.“
“A great find! We had 2 very pleasant visits with good food and drink. We particularly liked the staff and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. The owner and colleagues were very hospitable. One of the pleasantest neighbourhood bars we have ever been in.“
“The food was great but took a little while to bring out. It was okay because the service was amazing and everyone was very nice. The outdoor patio makes it really worth it either way fun games and a really nice ambiance. Would recommend for gatherings.“
“Never disappoints. Tria has excellent light fare, and the wine, beer and cheese always provide a new experience. The staff is super friendly, and VERY down to Earth; they don't expect the customer to be an expert and genuinely enjoy teaching/explaining the varied menu selections. With a few locations in Center City, Tira is an excellent stop for a pre-night out, mid-evening monotony breaker....or a capper. Some locations can get a bit tight on elbow room...but worth it.“
“Stumbled upon this yesterday and thought It was quaint and cute so had to stop in. We got a hot chocolate and peppermint green tea which were both tasty. The green tea was definitely strong which I prefer. The hot chocolate tasted so rich and the whipped cream was the perfect addition. I also got a ham and cheese croissant which was tasty. Wish I had told the girl to heat It up, but It was good regardless. Service was fast and easy.“
“The food is amazing, it's family owned by the nicest people you'll ever meet, the sushi is such great quality and the sushi chef takes great care in his craft. The takoyaki is so so good here, I go here once a week at least because I work nearby they've never disappointed! There's indoor seating if you don't want to do take out and it's very quick. It's nearly always empty because people prefer to order out instead, so you can always dine in if you'd prefer!“
“5/5 for the happy hour. walk in seating only at the bar, might not have a table for your group if you aren't early enough (like 5 ish). 5 dollar kirin, a huge bowl of fries, decent buns, suboptimal pajeon and dumplings (too oily and no flavor in the pancake). overall everything is sweet and spicy sauces. really a prime place to grab a cold beer and split some snacks, unsure if id go for the actual food at full cost. $35 pp after tax and tip for a beer and honestly a lot of snacks (fried chicken, fries, buns, pancake, dumplings) split with 1 other person“
“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.“
“Enza is our spot! Everyone at Enza is friendly, smiling, attentive and just fantastic. We would consider this our goto place for a night out. The bar always is a great place to sit and chat with the locals and neighbors. Pizza is spot on as well as the full thoughtful and tasty menu. They have a complete bar and wine list which just adds to all the fun!“
