Outstanding breakfast! Very fresh, healthy and also quick! The woman working there was very sweet as well. I would highly recommend! Also nice that they had plenty of gluten free options and options for those who don't eat red meat (turkey sausage and turkey bacon). read more

What an absolute hidden gem in Old City Philadelphia! If you were just walking by, you might never think to step inside--the exterior doesn't exactly scream "amazing breakfast spot"--but trust me, once you're in, it's the coziest, cutest little café with an amazing selection of breakfast items. We were visiting Philly as tourists, and our hotel front desk recommended this place. I'm so glad they did. We ordered Belgian waffles, pancakes, eggs, and bacon, and every single dish was fantastic. And the presentation? Everything was served on the cutest Pfaltzgraf dishes--a pattern that most Gen X or older will totally recognize. It really added to the charm and made the whole experience feel nostalgic and homey. Our waitress was incredibly kind and welcoming, offering the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. The coffee was also amazing--rich, hot, and exactly what you want to start your morning. It also happened to be my birthday that day (not that they knew!), but the warmth of the staff and the overall vibe made the morning feel extra special. I honestly can't recommend this café enough. If we ever come back to Philly, this will absolutely be our breakfast stop--no question. read more

I went for breakfast early, they were opened at 8:00 on a Sunday which is so nice for early risers like me. I had a delicious mocha espresso and a South Western Benedict. It was so delicious and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. The service was top notch. It is very small and so welcoming. I highly suggest this place. read more

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). read more

3j's Cafe - Huevos rancheros - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

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! read more

The food here is always great however the best part is being greeted by the woman who works inside. She is always so kind and accommodating. She always makes my day every visit, and for that alone I will always be a customer. read more

This was our first time in Philadelphia, and with the weather, a lot of places were closed. We were so glad 3Js was open! It's a small spot, but the woman working there made such a big impression--she was incredibly welcoming, kind, and attentive. She made us feel right at home, which really meant a lot, especially while visiting a new city. Great experience, great food, and we're thankful we found this place! read more

We stopped here on a whim. I had the vegan version of the Southwest Bowl. FABULOUS!!! Great flavor, great color, and absolutely yummy! My friend had the Chicken sandwich and also loved it. Service was fast, and the woman running things was so pleasant and attentive. Next time I'm in Philly, I will definitely be back! Highly recommend! read more

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. read more

On a day off from work I stopped by 3J's Cafe for breakfast. I ordered the classic eggs benedict and a glass of orange juice. The eggs benedict was perfectly made, with eggs perfectly poached and a delicious hollandaise sauce. The home fries served on the side were made just as well. I devoured the meal and was tempted to lick the last of the sauce off my plate. Service was fast and friendly. 3Js is close to home, so I may make it my go-to spot for a quick breakfast. read more

What a fantastic breakfast spot! My girlfriend and I stopped in this past weekend because we were looking for a breakfast spot and wanted to get out of the rain and I'm so glad we ducked into here. The restaurant is quaint, but still plenty of room. The portions of food were perfect and delicious! Their biscuits were super unique and went perfectly with the tofu scramble. Plus the SAUCE on it was fabulous. My girlfriend said she wanted to marry the breakfast potatoes and that she could eat them all day every day. Homemade waffles, homemade biscuits, and the service was so friendly and attentive. Definitely check this one out read more

Long wait for mediocre overpriced food. "Sorry for the wait", should be this joint's slogan as we heard this 5 times. Still, it was pretty crowded here and they led us to tables hidden toward the back of the building past the kitchen which was kinda novel. The only thing good was the hot chocolate. read more
