“Second visit here & I'm still impressed. First visit i had the waffle, a latte and a basic breakfast plate. No complaints. This time I ordered the million dollar bacon with shrimp & grits. It was delicious! The sunrise drink was amazing as well. Service was pleasant and prompt. The atmosphere was chill. I'll definitely be back ♡“

“I have enjoyed this place since it opened! The staff is magnificent. They are personable and take care of you! The atmosphere is wonderful. It is a wood decor. There is not a lot of seating inside, but there is ample seating outside. There is a good size parking lot (approximately 15 spots) and more parking right out front. The food and coffee is wonderful!The lattes are not extremely sweet of the syrups I get. This is a preference of mine real and strong coffee locally roasted!“

“1. The food is delightful and worth the try.2. Drinks were pretty good, especially for non coffee drinkers.3. For the Banh Mi and Sando, the bread was crisp and airy. All the ingredients were fresh and delicious. The Sando has an onion aioli that is slightly overpowering (for my personal preference).4. The service was nice and friendly.5. The atmosphere is very homey and welcoming. Nice place eat and hang out with your friends and family.“

“A hidden jewel for good coffee nestled in Old Rittenhouse Town, Wissahickon Park. (A Beautiful area to hike or mountain bike (two separate trails) or walk your dog ). It is a coffee shop and bike shop. The surprise was the quality and freshness of the coffee. My Americano was delicious. The beans were freshly ground, and the cup was Full of flavor. The young gentleman that served me (and my dog!) was very friendly and welcoming. There are a couple of picnic tables outside to sit and enjoy your coffee and the beautiful historic Rittenhouse town.“

“Food was fresh, delicious, and fairly priced. Beware of the pickled jalapeños if you are sensitive to spicy food.Both their beef gyro and falafel were the best I’ve ever had. Please keep in mind that I don’t even like meat and I’ve been struggling with anorexia for decades. So it’s very difficult for me to eat anything unless it’s super fresh and extraordinarily tasty. This place is a true gem and treasure.Service was outstanding, The owner-host made us feel immediately welcomed and at ease. She let us customize our order and was very prompt with our food. She was very knowledgeable about the ingredients they use, as well.The seating area is small, but that is to be expected in this area.Overall, this was by far our favorite restaurant to visit in the Philly area.Vegetarian options: they have falafel, grape leaves, hummus, baba ghanoush, salads, you name it! they offer endless customization options if you’d like, as well.Dietary restrictions: they serve halal, and they are knowledgeable about the ingredients they use.“

“This morning, as I was on my way to work, I had a little bit of time to grab a cup of coffee before catching my train. I came across this quaint cafe and decided to check it out. I am so glad that I did. Not only did I get a cup of coffee but I also got an egg & cheese sandwich on a croissant. My breakfast was absolutely amazing. The croissant was buttery and fresh. The sandwich literally melted in my mouth and the coffee was the finishing touch! I told the workers that this was the best breakfast sandwich that I ever had! I will DEFINITELY be back and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND supporting this small business. Tell em that James sent you and YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!“

“I chose to have a few dishes catered by Simply Delicious for my Easter dinner and everything was great. Scalloped potatoes, roasted brussel sprouts, and a beautiful salad topped with fresh fruit and more. My guests raved about the food! Tina was wonderful to work with. She was also able to make these wonderful dishes gluten free so our guests with dietary restrictions could enjoy them. I will definitely be back! Thank you Tina!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available“

“First Timer! An absolute all around fantastic family run place! Happy well staffed Servers! The food fresh and wonderfully homemade! Psst Get those sausage links*****This a great personable good people gathering pace like in the past! Thank you Ballard's next time I bring my 9 grandkids“

“I just want them to make my coffee and design my apartment ? the cappuccino is the smoothest that I've had in Philly and the decorum is exquisite. The price is very affordable for a cappuccino and it's CONSISTENTLY well made, which is rare for a coffee shop. Not to mention they're open on Christmas when everyone else is closed and I appreciate that. My 5 year old and I go and sit here for hours and write and read and laugh. It's an amazing atmosphere.“

“This place was very good. This was our first time coming here. We had a very short wait which was a welcome surprise since it was a Saturday around noon. My son had the red velvet pancakes and liked it (he said 4/5). I had the braised beef Benedict and it was awesome. Great flavor and eggs were poached perfectly. Service was definitely 100%. Never waited for anything. You can tell all the people working here care. I highly recommend this place for a great brunch. I will be back for sure!!“

“Creative, cozy, delicious. Yesterday I had the Thai PB&J, and if it’s available when you go, I highly recommend it. It wasn’t my first time in here. I’ve enjoyed the wonderful, cozy, 90s-coffee-shop-in-a-romcom vibe on several occasions. The service is friendly and relaxed. The coffee is delicious. But it was that sandwich yesterday that made me finally sit down and write this 5-star review. This place is a gem!“

“I know this is a coffee shop but don’t sleep on the toasties! Look at that cheese pull. Immaculate, much like the cleanliness level of the shop. The guys that work there are all real stand-up dudes. But definitely get a toastie.Kid-friendliness: Just don’t be obnoxious and bring your entire stroller inside. There’s not room for that. Don’t lie to yourself for the sake of convenience. Not gonna happen.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible but bathroom may be hard to get to when they’re busy due to space limitations“

“Forin on Coral St is my favorite lil space. The baristas here are the coolest, most down-to-earth folks who know their stuff. (Shoutout to Gab & Caleb, but seriously everyone there is a gem.) It is one of the few multi-roasters in Philly, meaning they don’t just have coffee from one roaster so there’s always delicious variety in your coffee. Not to mention, their specialty drinks are home runs every time. There’s room to sit if you want to read or book, the atmosphere and aesthetics are charming if you want to stay and chat, and the community that surrounds it is filled with some lovely humans. Definitely recommend Forin to anyone who’ll listen. You can find something for everyone, whether it be a kid-friendly hot chocolate, a nice single-origin drip for your coffee connoisseur friends, or a tasty mocha to keep you trucking through this capitalist hellscape — it’s a welcoming space for all.Dietary restrictions: So many vegan milks to choose from“

“I stopped in today (Easter) and was completely blown away..The atmosphere really felt like home. Ms Lisa greeted me with a smile and sat me promptly. I ordered the fish & grits with shrimp and they were the best that I've EVER had ( im a foodie). The costumer service was awesome and the menu options were truly refreshing to see. There is something on the menu for everyone. I spoke with Ms.Stephanie( the owner) and she gave me some history on her establishment and it really felt like I was speaking to my auntie that's just how welcoming she was. I will tell everyone about the Welcome home cafe and I can't wait to come back. I wish you much success ❤️“

“This is a gem, owned by a wonderful family. We've always felt welcomed, been well fed, and left happier than when we'd arrived. So thankful to live nearby!Vegetarian options: Always some great veg options on the menu, and several vegan offerings, but kitchen is well versed and can accommodate specific needs with great flavor. Always delicious and satisfying.“

“Went there to get coffee and also try a new spot out, we got there around 1:30 and we didn’t know they closed at 1:00, (we went off of the time that was set on Google maps) we were about to walk to the door but the owner of the store came out and said they were closed but still kindly asked what we wanted to get and he offered us inside and let us order and gave us some knowledge about coffee because I’m used to going to Starbucks & Dunkin ? we got some pastries and he offered us a free blueberry tart since it was our first time coming in, They’re filled beignet is to die for. everything was so fresh 10/10“

“Artesano Cafe in Manayunk is the spot to hit up for breakfast or just a coffee run. I loveeed their outdoor food truck. Their breakfast sandwich with a special maple spread is so good! I would've never thought to add that on a breakfast sandwhich. And the tater tots?! So crispy, so good. It was a decent enough day outside to sit outdoors, but their inside setup is pretty cozy too. Definitely stop by!“

“The only critique I would have is that they need a better roll for the steak sandwich and it needs to be gutted. Now saying that I prefer the texture on the outside of the role to be different than the inside of the role. The roll feels like I’m eating white bread with seeds. But other than that, everything is delicious. I do not want to discourage you from getting the cheesesteak because it’s so good. I’ve had it several times! Like I said just prefer a different roll. The owner is very personable and besides the food bringing you back, you want to go back because of the owner.“

“Her daughters is my absolute favorite coffee shop in Philly. I drive by so many just to come here! Every single thing we’ve tried, we’ve never been disappointed. My favorite drink is an iced dirty chai, they have the best chai! The iced ginger snap chai really had me in a chokehold during the holiday season! My husband’s favorite is the Vietname iced coffee! I’ve recently been trying an iced red ice, which I also love! Their bakery selection is always so good & fresh! All hits, no misses, always. & the staff is always so nice & welcoming!!“

“The workers were super friendly! My London fog was tasty. They didn't add any sugar to it so I added my own, but I actually appreciate that because it's not fun when it's overly sweet. The sticky bun I had was heavenly. Someone put their heart and soul into making that thing. So sweet and buttery and flavorful. Atmosphere was also cute. Not overly busy, good for working. Place is kinda small, but I was thankful for an open seat. Very clean and welcoming. I would recommend!“

“First of all--I'm glad to be introduced to another Black owned bakery! And the customer service is great. My aunt located this place when looking for treats for my grandma's bday. Everything was delicious and were a hit with the family, including the cookies. They really have too many cupcake options to choose from ?. I recently stopped by and tried the delicious sweet potato & strawberry shortcake cupcakes. I also have tried the Oreo and Turkey Bacon ones, which were good, too. I'm literally sad it's a Monday and can't wait until Wednesday to visit.“

“The food is so good. This was my first time trying this place and I will definitely be back regularly. The restaurant is larger than it looks from outside, there is plenty of seating and parking was not a problem. I ordered the chicken shawarma platter and the baklava cheesecake. Do yourself a favor and order 2 of the baklava cheesecakes. I regretted only ordering one when I got home.“

“Found this little place while visiting an in-law, and I can't wait to come back! It was a very homey vibe...cute & comfy. There were two employees behind the counter (one appeared to be new, but awesome) who were HUSTLING to manage the rush that arrived just after my husband and I ordered. They remained patient, communicative, efficient and avoided cross contamination, which means a lot to me. I watched them consistently change gloves between handling different orders, even while preparing 8 different tickets. That alone was enough to sell me on this place. Now, our orders... I had the avocado toast with egg & tomato. It wasn't the best, but it was reasonably priced, and well prepared. My husband had the cinnamon bun waffles... he's a sweets lover, and he was very happy that the waffle wasn't overly crispy. The icing on top was the perfect touch. He also had an iced matcha latte, which was (surprisingly) blended. He loved it! If it wasn't for the rush of customers, he would've gotten another one to take home. I had an iced dirty chai latte--it was the perfect mix of spiced chai and bold coffee. Maybe one of the best that I've tasted.“

“Nice little stop to grab a coffee and a quick bite. Everyone is friendly and the atmosphere is cozy coffee house vibes without the pretentious or hipster feel. There are always coffee concoction specials that pair perfectly with the various pastries they offer.“

“I frequently ate at Elcy's Café and had coffee there. It's a convenient local coffee shop where you can grab breakfast before your commute. The environment is both professional and welcoming. I had a great time at Elcy's Café. The only thing I dislike about this place is how pricey it can get. All things considered, though, this is a fantastic neighborhood café with stuff available.“

“Another Black Owned Business In Any Community Is A Plus For The Community (May Allah Continue To Give You Success) The Brotherly Hospitality Was Great Along With The Food Even Tho My Food Options Were Very Limited Due To Being A PlantBased Food Consumer #Hint #Hint See You Brothers Again Unk Suge.. MilkDietary restrictions: Let's Get That PlantBased Grill & Menu Up.ThankYou In Advance“

“Love this place! Their grilled cheese and coffees are amazing & the special coffee flavors are always interesting & delicious. Definitely coming back to try the waffles! Pictured costs $11. Might have to sit outside or share a seat depending.“

“I would most definitely recommend this establishment... The food is very good and they give good portions... Prices per meal are very reasonable... I suggest you check out the specials board before you order your meal I'm sure you won't be sorry... The waitresses are very friendly and helpful and they also make you feel welcome...“

“Chestnut Hill & Wyndmoor have been in desperate need of a great sweet green style salad place. After my first salad from Froot, I'm so happy!! I bet it keeps getting better as they work out the ordering and process but my salad was excellent!“

“This is one of my favorite places to get a great smoothie. Everything about this place is like heaven on earth. If you don’t know what heaven is, then this is the place. The atmosphere is amazing and they always play great music.Kid-friendliness: This is a place you can definitely bring your kids and family. The environment is so amazing and peaceful. And the workers are always polite and professional.“

“Fabulous people, wonderful atmosphere, and a very pleasant stop on a tough day. The coffee was good, not amazing, but I'd absolutely go here again just for the wonderful people.Dietary restrictions: They handled my milk allergy easily and successfully, and had a variety of plant milks available.“

“This is what this area needs. Hospitals are close by, various people out and about wanting something nutritous to drink. When you walk in, you are greeted with a hello and a smile. She instantly knew that I had never been there before. We chatted for a few minutes, made me feel welcomed!! The shake and tea were both amazing, yes I purchased 2 things the 1st time there. I will be back when my schedule permits. Don't snooze on this small women-owned busiiness!! Check it out!!“

“Sweet cozy place! Convenient to SEPTA Regional Rail, pick up and go! Quality beverage cups! Lids fit, solid build, and good sleeves that ensure a smooth beverage experience! boutique offerings and friendly staff. Management is always working hard to maintain quality product and service offerings! Cheers to #“

“My boyfriend and his colleague went there for a meeting. He doesn't like leaving reviews. He came home raving about the blue cheese burger they have there. Apparently the buns are delightful and they melt real blue cheese on it. I told him we are going there for our next date night lol. The way he talked about it, I can't wait.“

“My husband and I have ordered takeout from here several times, everything we have tried has been amazing. We are happy to have such a great place for breakfast and lunch so close to our house. We have also ordered from their holiday catering menu and it was great.“

“As I'm sure many have mentioned, this place is very aesthetic and the atmosphere is nice, including the music. It would surprise you how many places just play any music now - classic steak houses playing mumble rap. Anyway, we got the chicken fricassee, the Shaffle Waffle, a flavored tea, and the Mirage(dessert) and Medovik(dessert). The tea set was very cute, with a tea light warmer underneath, but I wasn't a fan of the tea - my boyfriend ordered some sort of lemongrass tea. The chicken part of the fricassee itself was great, but the rice was dry, almost like it was reheated from the previous day. A slice of bread to wipe up the remainder of the yummy sauce would've been nice. The waffle was also dry - like they made a big batch and just reheated to serve - which is fine when done correctly but in this instance was tough and chewy - maybe cover it so it remains moist? The desserts were okay, nothing memorable but decent. Portion sizes were on the small side but we were still full by the time the meal was done. I wouldn't mind coming here again with my girls for the experience but it won't be my main spot. The vision is there, it just needs some tweaking.Edit:I changed this from 3 to 4 stars because looking back at other reviews, they handle the negatives with grace and do seem to make efforts to rectify things people have had issues with. One person mentioned that they weren't very attentive, but today they were so it seems to me that they do put the effort in to review themselves and make changes.“

“The food here is delicious. The service is great, and the other patrons are always friendly. It's hard to find vegan restaurants in our area of the burbs, especially since Blue Sage and Bernies closed. I have also bought some LUHV items at Whole Foods, they carry more at Reading Terminal. Enjoy!“

“Best coffee, great breakfast sandwich and baked goods. Lunch sandwiches are good too. I'm here every week buying a bag of their imperial roast.Vegetarian options: They have breakfast and lunch options which are vegetarianDietary restrictions: Some gluten free optionsKid-friendliness: Folks with kids here all the timeWheelchair accessibility: Double doors open to sidewalk with no step and are wheelchair accessible“

“This is the second time I’ve gone to Curds and Whey, but this was the 1st time for takeout. I wish I had taken a picture before I devoured the DELICIOUS Maryellen salad. The honey goat cheese, the homemade maple dressing, the chicken. All of it. My husband watched me eat it once I got home and he said you sure are enjoying that aren’t you!? Maria waited on me and was very attentive, prompt, helpful, and happy … which sometimes you just don’t find.Can’t wait for dinner… I knew what kind of day it was going to be and thought I’m buying dinner! So we will see, but I bet the chicken piccata and the roasted butternut squash with walnuts and craisins are going to totally hit the spot. Definitely would recommend this place.“

“I really like this coffee shop. The food is great, you don't feel rushed when looking at all of the flavors that they have, and it feels like home. It can feel a little bit messy upon your first time with everything there, but it's a small shop so it can get a bit cluttered.“

“We are celebrated our mother's Birthday at Cafe light. I want to say a BIG thank you for such a warm atmosphere, wonderful staff, delicious food, cozy room. Dishes surprise with excellent presentation and taste. Svetlana and your entire team, thank you, we have never tasted anything tastier in restaurants in 13 years in America. You are amazing. Highly recommend this place.“

“I have no complaints, I purchased the whiting platter with shrimp....4 nice size whiting and 4 nice sized shrimp with cabbage and fries for a very nice price of 19.00. Customer service was great, the food was hot and fresh. I consider myself to have a hearty appetite and I couldn't finish it all, I'll have the rest for breakfast in the morning. That's the best food for the price and great customer service, I'll be back to try something else definitely!!!Parking: I found parking across the street.“

“I went here twice during a visit to Temple University. The first time I went was later in the afternoon and they had run out of many of the freshly baked items. The coffee I had both times was nicely made and the flavor was great.In general, the staff were courteous and asked my name for my order.The decor is simple, but welcoming and the vibe is casual. There are wooden tables and chairs for those who want to have their coffee inside the cafe.“

“Visiting from Georgia and this has easily become a favorite breakfast/brunch spot! The first time I dined here for breakfast I got the pancakes and they were fluffy and excellent, this time I got the strawberry French toast and was absolutely overwhelmed with how amazing and fresh it tasted. The staff is very friendly and attentive as well, overall a great choice, so glad I was introduced to this establishment by some friends!“

“This is a chill spot right on the park. Dominick and the server there were very friendly, I had an amazing turkey reuben and 2 lattes. Will be back often! I posted the view of the park from the cafe. Trails are accessible and it looks as though there is a way to access this cafe from the Pennypack trail. I walked around the trail a bit and saw some hikers with fishing poles. Very peaceful.“

“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.“
