Front Street Cafe in Philadelphia is a beloved all-day spot in Fishtown, known for its versatile menu and comfortable backyard. It’s perfect for any time of day, from a morning latte to late-night eats. The cafe area is great for casual meet-ups, while the backyard with a second bar is ideal for when the inside gets crowded. With affordable cocktails and better-than-expected food, it’s a place that’s universally loved and perfect for literally everyone.
Delious will definitely go again. I had the all you can eat pasta. So many options .

Had lunch here with a friend. Relaxed atmosphere and good food. Really nice selection of plant-based options. The vegan scrapple was sooo good.

This place is an absolute gem. Me and my girlfriend were visiting Philly for a day trip and we found this place and it did not disappoint! We’re looking forward to dining here on our next trip to Philadelphia.

My family and I visited front street cafe while staying in Philly and it was sooo amazing to see so many vegetarian/vegan options! I also loved the atmosphere of the place and the server was so happy and sweet! A little bit pricey, but the food was wonderful, and I was so thankful as a vegan traveling to see so many options for me. Thank you guys!

Great place to eat. They have a nice bar, an outback area and an upstairs. The food is also very good and they have bottomless coffee in the mornings. I highly recommend (:

I'm from NYC - so the relative SPACIOUSNESS - of this place was so sweet for us. Waitress - On Point. Quiet enough to actually talk without raising my voice.Food- so good! My companion had some type of shrimp scampi? It was so delicious/she was soooo delighted.I am a vegetarian and gluten-free. There were wonderful options - I had the most delicious mac & cheese I ever ate ever + roasted cali ...Again - I'm from NYC so the price of the food was Stunningly reasonable!If I lived in the 'hood I'd be there every week.

I was really hoping for a better dining experience based on recent reviews, but maybe it was just an “off” night for the kitchen staff. We ordered the Spinach & Artichoke dip, Apple and Cranberry with Chicken salad, and the fried mozzarella. The spinach and artichoke dip was very underwhelming, while the fried mozzarella was flavorless aside from the breading. The salad was probably the only saving grace but it’s not hard to get a salad “right”. (Have to pay extra for feta cheese and chicken which is wild.)We also ordered a skinny margarita, and a couple specialty cocktails that weren’t too shabby but the price point was just far too high for what we got…. $110 out the door for a mediocre experience.

Delightful. The atmosphere is welcoming and aesthetically pleasing; the staff is helpful and friendly; and the food was terrific. I thoroughly enjoyed the kale salad with a crabcake, while my dining companion’s gravlax plate was superb.Can’t wait to come back.

Went with a friend for lunch because they have vegetarian options. The patio is beautiful. The service was decent, though there were some waits to be seated and to settle the check that seemed disproportionate to the number of guests. The crab cake sandwich was phenomenal, as was the strawberry lemonade. Will go back soon, I hope.
