    French toast, avocado toast and yogurt parfait
    Shawna P.

    A hidden gem! Small but spacious! Extremely nice server. Always happy. Always knowledgeable and accommodating. Food is fresh and comes out hot and quick. One of my favorite spots to go with my sister. I almost don't want to share (lol).

    Great family owned brunch spot in Philadelphia! It is a small and cozy café with no fuss meals that deliver on flavor. The staff is friendly and service is prompt. They have many vegetarian friendly options on their menu and their espresso based drinks are delicious!

    3j's is a small little spot with about 4 or 5 tables that seat 4, along with outdoor seating as well. Our server was Julie, I thought she said: Yuri; but my wife reminded me that I know I can't hear that good ‍ But she was very courteous and delightful, She took the time to point out every person who works there by name. She also made a joke about herself saying she's the worst server there; but myself and wife beg the differ, She gave great customer service. The food was amazing! Myself and wife ordered the omelette entrees, she also ordered a French hazelnut Latte and she said it was Soooooo gooood! I ordered their homemade Honey Mango Lemonade If you're ever in this area of Philly, take time to try them out, it's definitely worth it!

    Breakfast was great! Homemade sausage biscuits and gravy was awesome! My wife got a beautiful latte.

    Tofu Scramble (GF, VEGAN)

    Great for people who are vegan, gluten sensitive, and vegetarian. Of course the meat eaters have a great selection as well. Highly recommend with staff being knowledgeable and great at promoting seasonal favorites. The environment makes you feel like you're eating in a cafe in the 1800's!

    Cozy atmosphere

    Nice atmosphere. Great breakfast food. I had the Eggs Benedict which is served on a Belgium waffle. My wife had the same but with traditional English muffin. Both were fantastic. Our server Sam gave us outstanding service. It's a cozy place worth frequenting.

    Buffalo Chicken Salad (Spicy)
    Jo L.

    FOOD We ordered the buffalo chicken salad and the fried chicken sandwich. The former was overdressed, which made the whole meal too acidic and unpalatable. When ordering the salad, I would ask for dressing on the side instead. The sandwich was substantial for the price, and its sauce paired well with the chicken, which was extra crispy and well-breaded. It is something definitely worth ordering if you decide to visit. DRINKS We ordered a hot cocoa, which was honestly the best thing of note during our entire dining experience here. It was a good amount for the price, and the marshmallows were a nice touch. AMBIANCE The front of the store is aesthetically decorated while the back of the store is somewhat gloomy and unlit. Your experience with the interior depends on where you are seated. SERVICE The service here is subpar. Although there was numerous seating at the front of the restaurant, my friend and I were placed in the very back with minimal lighting and overall very secluded when we could have been seated up front where everyone else was seated. We were also not checked in with until we went up to the servers to ask to order, to ask to pay, etc. I would recommend frequenting elsewhere, as there are great brunch places in the Old City area that provide better food and services. PARKING Paid street parking is available at a limited capacity. FEES Paying with cash is slightly cheaper than paying with card as there is a 3.5% convenience fee.

    I've been meaning to try almost home general for quite some time, now I'm kicking myself that I…read morewaited this long. I had heard alot about their chicken caesar wrap, and as a chicken caesar enthusiast, I had to give it a shot. This was absolutely incredible. Dare I say the best wrap I've had in Philly. Everything was perfectly fresh, the dressing was delicious, and the wrap was perfectly grilled. I went for the truffle fries on the side, they were great as well. Perfectly fried and seasoned. Unfortunately my snickerdoodle latte wasn't the greatest. The flavoring was lovely and was just sweet enough, but the espresso was a bit burnt. Overall this was great, definitely adding to my lunch rotation.

    Food: The bagels themselves were unfortunately very hard and…read morenot entirely enjoyable to eat. That said, the egg, cheese, and fixings were great. It's possible the bagels weren't fresh when we visited (Tuesday morning). I ordered a cereal latte and a mango smoothie. The coffee was fine but not something I'd order again, while the smoothie was really good and something I would recommend. While dining in, the overall presentation felt more like a cafeteria experience than a sit-down café. We were given plastic to-go utensil sets, plastic cups, plastic straws, and our food was served on a baking sheet. The overwhelming use of plastic felt underwhelming for dining in and didn't align with the price point, especially when the average coffee + bagel total exceeds $15. Service: The staff was friendly overall, but not very mindful of professional behavior while working. While the atmosphere is meant to be relaxed, one barista was sitting on the countertops and taking personal calls on speaker, which felt off-putting as a customer. Ambiance: It's a nice open space with great natural lighting and plenty of seating. Overall, it's a good place to work, hang out, and get caffeinated.
