“Came here at 8:30 on a Friday night with my family and the place was surprisingly empty. Ahmed, the owner, gave us a warm welcome and prompt service. He gave us several recommendations (we ordered them all) and every dish was great. We got the branzino, the lamb chops, the half grilled chicken, hummusand mishwia. While every dish was truly tasty, my two favorites were the branzino and mishwia. I told Ahmed it was my parents anniversary and he gave us tea and baklava on the house. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone. The food, the hospitality, and the service is top notch.“
“Food good, good service and cool atmosphere. Plus, this perkins made it through 2020. They're back on the beat!The managers are professional and care about the customersDietary restrictions: Low sodium and sugar dishesParking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Yes....kids menuWheelchair accessibility: Up to pat, I'm thinking??“
“I'm giving 5 stars because I don't like to bash people/businesses. Wanted to get some pasta to go. Didn't eat in or take out because prices are way too high for pasta. Wanted to buy a bottle of wine but the $$ of the food turned me off. Please think about cutting prices in pasta dishes, I believe you will benefit immensely if you do!“
“I’ve been to several Philadelphia cheesecake spots in the past few years that I have been coming. FYI I’m from the DC. And I have to say that from all the Philly cheesesteak spots that I have tried. This one is the BEST.. and DIRT dessert they have is Crack!“
“The food was excellent and the service was good. We went for an event and I just don't think this space was right for it. We also ended up at their 2nd location by accident and ended up crashing another private party. It was overall a nice time and we enjoyed the food, just wish there was more space to enjoy it in.“
“Great venue to watch a game. Beautiful views of the city. Plenty of restaurants and snack bars to find almost anything you would like to eat. Came on Hatfield Dollar Dog night so I cheaped out thus time. It was a cool evening that turned chilly then pretty cold because of the wind speeds and openness of the stadium. Philly staff get 5 star rating very friendly extremely helpful and courteous. The game was entertaining with a few homeruns 2 for Texas and one for the home team. Too bad the Phils lost 6 to 4. Philly Phanatic is such a blast!!!! A great place to bring the family to watch a ballgame.Saw a great game a little boring low scoring Phils 1 Mariners 0. Fastest game I was ever at if not it was 1st game I ever went to at Connie Mack Reds 1 Phils 0. Phillies let the ump beat them today. Another win by the Phils.“
“I chose the vedge experience to try 3 dishes and desert for $65/person. All the plates were not only uniquely thought through and delicious, but also presented like works of art. I really enjoyed the creative balance of flavors they used from only plant sources that even mimicked non-vegetarian dishes I've had before. Menu rotates seasonal so I will be returning soon and is well accomodating for gluten free patrons. An experience well worth trying“
“Edit: I received a response within minutes of my review and after a brief exchange the manager (or owner, I'm not sure) sent me a gift card as an apology. My wife and I ordered food tonight and it was AMAZING. My faith in the couch tomato has been restored!!! A former personal favorite of mine. When they hit their food is out of this world. But the miss rate is getting bigger and higher making it so that I now hesitate when I have a craving for my favorite pizza or salad. They used to be a once every two weeks option for me, now they're once every two months.“
“Had “The Paesano” from Paesano’s in Philly yesterday. This is in the Italian market area of South Philly which I love (aside from finding parking) and the people who worked here were all super friendly and helpful.I posted a picture with the ingredients for this one. This had a flavor that I’ve maybe never tasted before all wrapped in one. I enjoyed how it all played off each other (I could eat pepperoncini on anything and be happy too) and the roll was wonderful.Unfortunately I will say that the brisket was a bit tough, which surprised me. I believe it was cut on the wrong angle but there were multiple bites where I really had to tear at it. Had this brisket been as tender as it should have, I’d put this sandwich up against most sandwiches in the city…and I mean that. Put a properly trimmed and roasted brisket on this one and it’s up there with the best roast pork’s and cheesesteaks around imoDefinitely Didn’t Suck, but did leave room for improvement for sure.Check out video and more content on this spot and many others on my social media pages here - https://linktr.ee/Didnt_Suck“
“From the tasting to after the wedding, Bredenbeck’s was amazing! The cake came out EXACTLY how I expected it to. It was beautiful! And it tasted amazing! All of my guests really loved every layer (each one was a different flavor). We had a small issue with the filling but Bredenbeck’s rectified the issue right away and took accountability! I look forward to visiting them for another cake order in the future!“
“Magical, friendly and oh so delicious! We adore our times spent here, we devour the food and love the cider. It's a rare occasion when you feel like you're really having an absolutely special moment in a restaurant, but this place is the real deal! The staff are superb, friendly, funny and so absolutely kind. We love the cookies, the pulled tofu sandwiches are amazing, corn bread is delicious, soups, potato wedges OMG YUM, seriously get anything on the menu! This is a true gem of Northwest Philly!“
“It is hard to articulate the artistry that went into the creation of my very special birthday cake but the Night Kitchen Bakery did it. I had a special birthday this year and some great friends were flying in to help me celebrate. I had traveled with these friends and had many wild experiences, one of which was a very specific picture this fantastic bakery not only replicated flawlessly but made it oh so much better. Yes the cake photo attached is a cake - a DELICIOUS mocha cake that was as good as the artistry was on the outside. If you want a delicious cake, they're the place to go to. And if you want something out of the park special to complement that delicious cake, there is no other choice that Night Kitchen Bakery. Thank you so so much!“
“The BEST cream filled doughnuts I have ever had. The filling itself is light and creamy with just the right amount of sweet. The texture of the doughnut was exceptionally well done as well. The peanut butter cream filled doughnut had peanut butter mixed in with the cream filling, the Nutella just has Nutella spread on top. Plenty of variety even in cream filled doughnuts. The flavor of the blueberry fritter was top 2 for a non-apple fritter. Not as heavy and crispy as I like a fritter though.Choosing from 2 cases of minimum 30 doughnut 0 do not recommend.Eating any variety of doughnut they have: 10/10 would recommend going every day for 2 weeks to try them all and enjoy favorites. I want to make another Google account to rate 5stars again⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“Yes, yes, yes! I have come here twice now and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. You can really tell how much care/time is put into the food. From the sides to mains, everything is a 10/10. The service is impeccable as well. You will not be disappointed. This is by far one of the best Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurants in the city. Portions are also huge. PS don't skip on the homemade hot sauce, it's SO GOOD. You will not have a bad meal here.“
“Flakely is not your typical gluten free bakery. Here you'll give an outstanding assortment of croissants, bagels, brioche, in addition to white sandwich loafs and more.Check their website for pickup or walk-up hours and product availability.“
“Beautiful little spot for a cup of coffee and tasy treats in bustling center city west. Fantastic art. They also have roasted coffee. Unfortunately, this location has a large step up to get in, getting inside is not easily accessible for people with mobility challenges.“
“We’ve been eating here for years and recently hired them to cater dessert for our wedding this past December at Bok building. They were easy to work with and the donuts were amazing as always. The flavors were a hit and our gluten-free guests were over the moon to be able to partake. We did mini donuts and a big donut for our cake. It all worked out great, highly recommend.“
“This has been my go-to bakery since I lived in Philly! Always a great selection & variety of items with the ability to try something different each time you visit. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious and will keep coming back! Also some great gluten-free and vegan options there as well.“
“We have been getting take out from here for years but never sat inside to eat. We decided for our 1 year wedding anniversary that we would go here and it did not disappoint! We have always called the gnocchi "pillows of heaven." They are the absolute best! We also had the lamb which just fell off the bone and was so tender. And we definitely recommend the buratta for a starter. You can tell that everything is homemade including the bread. The service is also stellar! The staff is so attentive and so nice. We felt like family the whole meal. It's also a byob which is great to bring your favorite bottle of wine. I can't say enough about this tiny south Philly gem!“
“I’ve been here for brunch and happy hour. Great breakfast menu and the food is spectacular. The rooftop is a must see. The only issue is that you have to go all the way to the basement to use the restroom and you aren’t able to take the stairs to exit out the first floor. The happy hour food is great, but the drink offerings and discounts are thin. Something to be aware of: the “dirty double” martini is not actually a double, so that’s kind of misleading. Service and food are great though, so I definitely still recommend checking this place out!“
“Totally enjoyed every aspect of my experience. Last night on a work trip and heard the name of this restaurant 2x today and ended up having a hair appointment near by and was able to walk! I sat at the bar downstairs and had amazing service. Had the enlightenment martini and the cashew chicken with jasmine rice. Hands down some of the best food I’ve eaten!“
“Delightful visit to this bakery! The mocha cake was heavenly—moist, rich in flavor, and with the perfect balance of coffee and chocolate. Paired with their freshly brewed coffee, it was an absolute treat. Cozy ambiance and friendly staff added to the wonderful experience. A must-try spot for anyone looking for quality cakes and coffee. Highly recommend!“
“What we ordered: Baker’s Basket, Continental Breakfast, French Omelet, and a hot latte.I’d recommend the Continental Breakfast if you’re indecisive or if you want a variety in one order, which was fun for me to try. I love the croissants here because they are not too flaky yet still buttery and fresh. However, the scone was too dry for my liking, and the toasted brioche was okay. It was a fun breakfast for us with friendly service.Be mindful of the parking as well, because you’ll need to parallel park and pay for the time you’re there. If you’re even a couple of minutes late, you may end up with a ticket, which was a painful experience for us.“
“The best place to have some coffee in the center city, continently located!Service is always great and friendly. There are long lines during rush hours, so plan ahead. It can be super crowded during lunch time as well. Try their strawberry matcha latte (iced or hot) - that’s my favorite there.“
“I had the pleasure of being served by Ferizal at Vietnam Cafe and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. His professionalism, attentiveness, and warm demeanor truly enhanced our dining experience. He was knowledgeable about the menu, offering excellent recommendations, and ensured that every aspect of our meal was perfect. His attention to detail and genuine care for their guests made us feel truly valued. I would highly recommend Ferizal to anyone visiting Vietnam Cafe for a memorable dining experience.“
“I’ve come here multiple times in the past decade and the chaat and lassi never fail to hit the spot. I got a fig lassi and a paneer chaat, both were so refreshing and the owner is so kind and hospitable. While this spot is not in a great location, the lassis and food make it worth it!!!“
“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!“
“The food and atmosphere was remarkable. I came here Saturday and Sunday morning. The staff was soo friendly and made me feel so welcoming. The food was delicious and homemade. The homemade turkey sausages was delicious. Everything about it was amazing. I would highly recommend trying this place out. They also have outside seating and the prices are very reasonableParking: Since the place is right on market street, it can be difficult to find parking. Since I stayed at the hotel nearby, I walked to the restaurant“
“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!“
“Our experience with the sonho was thoroughly delightful. The sourdough donut provided a perfect base—neither too sweet nor overpowering—which elegantly complemented the richer sweetness of the ganache. The custard center was killer, and its subtlety in sweetness allowed the depth of flavors to shine through without being overshadowed by too much sugar. This careful balance of ingredients made for an exceptional overall flavor profile that we greatly appreciated. We're eager to return and explore more of their offerings!“
“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.“
“Lively, fun place, it is very popular. It was very busy on a mid-Sunday afternoon. Nice menu selections. The avocado -chicken is very nice. A good balance of flavors. The plantains are excellent. The arepa itself, I like a bit more flavor in mine. Prices were very reasonable.“
“My husband has celiac but was also insisting that we have a wedding cake for us to cut at our wedding. None of the Italian bakeries in Philadelphia offer GF so I looked around for other bakeries and found High Fidelity. I stopped in one day to see if they could make a custom cake for us — not only did they do that with only a weeks notice but the cake turned out beautiful and absolutely delicious! Brady and Janette were incredibly kind and helpful and we can’t wait to try everything else they make!“
“This place was such a unique experience. Some classic English items, and a few you might not have had before. My friend and I shared the deviled eggs and cheese board (which had 4 kinds of cracker/biscuit options.) He had the Sunday roast (a very large portioned meal) and I the rabbit pie (think dark meat chicken and you'll be fine lol.) The London Fog cocktail was a delight with its earthy earl gray gin and fresh juice. All of this set in a Victorian period home. Only downside is the lack of accessibility for those with wheelchair or ambulatory differences.“
“Chill on the Hill had mango fruit topping! 5 stars from me!They also had fresh strawberries and blueberries and HOT FUDGE! Most froyo places have that cold, watery bottled chocolate sauce. Most importantly, they have good yogurt and the flavors I liked.“
“I ordered one of the pre-designed cakes for my soon to be sister-in-law’s bridal shower and I could not have been happier with how it turned out! The cake was beautiful, tasted as good as it looked, and was a huge hit at the shower. The ordering was simple, they were thorough with directions and the time slot pick up. I cannot wait to order from here again!“
“Such a great place! I went a few months ago and things were good but OH MY!! I went again today and everything was AMAZING! We were one of the first people in shop and the selection was actually overwhelming! So many options and everything has been great so far. I’m actually a vegan bakery owner myself BUT when traveling love to try other treats & I was super happy about all the treats. Also, the staff working was super friendly, helpful and just overall great to chat with. I immediately texted a fellow vegan friend and sanctuary owner about my experience and what treats I grabbed so he knows to stop next time he’s in the area as well! ❤️❤️“
“I used to come here 30 some years ago when it was Sonoma. It has been several other restaurants through the years but this is the best by far. There are 2 bars. One on the first floor that has retractable windows to open up to the outside. Then there is my favorite bar upstairs. Light, airy, nicely painted walls with olive leaves and glass ceiling.There is a happy hour Monday to Friday, 4 to 6pm. All their signature crafted cocktails are $7 and they are delicious. Our bartender, Jeff, was welcoming and very knowledgeable about his craft. Love that they use a lot of local products. There are other drink options (see my menu photo below) and fun food items. We ordered 2 pizzas (shrimp and artichoke and the pepperoni). Both were fabulous.I will be returning again for their in house made pasta and I can't wait.Parking: People often think that parking is difficult in manayunk but there are plenty of options in the nearby lots if you can't get one on the street.“
“I went for some beans today, having had Passero's coffee at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (in the members lounge) Talking with Jeff, who greeted me as I came in, I came home with the Organic Bali Blue Moon "medium dark" roast. It's a lovely shop, the "organized clutter" of a college store perhaps, instantly welcoming and such a friendly informed person (Jeff) and (the reason I went to the source) exceptional coffee. I have yet to try the beans: that's whats for breakfast tomorrow! New town for me and new connections made!“
“Seriously the best pizza in South Philadelphia. Delicious! I usually order the Grandma pie, which is always so good. Since it was Valentine’s Day we order the heart shaped original pizza and I think I have a new favorite! The crust was thin, crispy and absolutely delicious. Definitely will be ordering that again!The real star of this order were the “Italian Chicken Wings”!! These were the best wings I have ever eaten in my life!! So tasty, seriously you have to try them!“
“We had time for a quick cocktail before dinner reservations and headed to Stateside. We were so glad that we did - we had such a great time. I loved the industrial, yet comfortable feel of the building and the staff was so helpful. We loved the variety of cocktails and could barely choose between them, in fact for my first drink I went bartender's choice (and it was delicious). The cocktails were only $10 and there were so many infused vodkas to choose from! We didn't eat anything but they had some quick-cook snacks available that looked really fun!We had such a good time before dinner, when we heard other friends were in the area, we spontaneously met them back at Stateside after dinner for more drinks! We can't wait to go back and try more!“
“I’ve been a fan of good karma for years but I haven’t been in a little while— just went in and the service was PHENOMENAL. Kolbi was a ray of sunshine and complimented my outfit :) such an amazing atmosphere and again- Kolbi CRUSHED IT!!!excited to come back and use my punch card !“
“I met up after work with a former coworker at this here "Hop Chase" a while ago to throw back some well deserved Miller tall boys and on God no lie, it's been my #1 go to ever since for a laundry list of reasons. To name a few; .. So staff are just absolutely Stellar! Very friendly positive people they are which makes for great atmosphere and happy patrons but I digress... I say that to say this. ...“
“We stopped in close to closing for takeout and Joy at the counter was delightful and helpful. We ordered Massaman curry and Thai tea and both were made quickly. Now that we are home, we are discovering that their food is EXCELLENT. We look forward to going back and dining in.“
“The crepes are great, and there are plenty of good vegetarian savory options, especially looking at the build your own option. The side salad is a highlight! We also tried the French toast crepe, which has an egg incorporated into the batter. Interesting. The espresso is good but the cappuccino is weird; they don't pour the milk through the crema at all, so it's mostly foam on top of a single shot. It can be folded through but I think next time I'd just get an espresso here. I really like that they have reusable cutlery and crockery, and service is brisk even when they're crowded. They also have a bunch of pastries if you're looking to grab and go. No parking lot but free street parking up to two hours. Friendly staff.“
“The staff was absolutely amazing, Annie was super friendly and kind. Our first time visiting Philadelphia and she recommended several places to check out in brewery town. This place has a great selection of beer and lavish cocktails. The food was amazing, I really loved the pork burnt ends. The pho was delicious, fish and chips were nicely battered and tasty. I will be back and I recommend you give them a try!“
“My husband is a big fan of their Coconut custard doughnuts, it was my first time trying it and it did not disappoint. So fresh and soft. The Nutella doughnut was filled with cream and it wasn't too sweet - making it the perfect companion to the coconut doughnut.“
“Stopped by here for a quick breakfast during Wrestlemania 40 weekend. You order and pay up front and they'll bring the food out to your table. I ended up getting the falafel burger, which was good, but fell apart a lot. The table I sat at was quite dirty and found a small piece of hair.“
“One of the best Italian neighborhood places. Had their home made bread and dip, penne in pink sauce followed by one of the best tiramisu’s. Highly highly recommend.Vegetarian options: They make any pasta with vegetables and any sauce you want.“

“Food... Amazing!! Service... Fantastic!! Atmosphere... Cozy!!I highly recommend this restaurant. I enjoy the delicious food (especially the Salmon Freekah Salad and Pistachio Sticky Bun) and the Brown Butter Artichoke Borekas are everything!!! After a year of coming here, I've tried nearly everything on the menu ? Owner, Chef Mike Solomonov is incredibly generous!!!“
