Apple Walnut Café - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Broomall, Pennsylvania

Random Monday in August, line out the door AFTER 1pm! Everyone should be on vacation but the current administration has bilked everyone so badly that no one can afford to go away (sadly stats tell me many folks in Broomall actually voted for him). So rather than their week at NJ shore, the crowd beat it to Apple Walnut. Took a little over 10min to be seated, so not terrible, but this was at the very tail end of service. I was born with an intermittent fasting stomach; I've never been a breakfast-eater and brunch is gross to me! I mention this because I've never taken my son out for breakfast foods so it was great to have this experience. My little one had a HUGE "Go Go Bananas" It said it was "hot cakes stuffed with Bananas" but they were just plain. It mentioned caramel on top which wasn't there (they subbed syrup without asking); frustrating and unprofessional. It also had a slice of poundcake French Toast topped with grilled bananas, and then banana French Toast with granola. It was a decadent treat of gluten and sugar that we don't normally eat at home. My son was really happy. My burger was okay but not memorable, and the fries were that awful batter-dipped cheap kind that I don't eat and they just made the whole thing "mid" as the kids say. Service was very very slow per the crowd and it being the end of the shift. Our server was cheerful and I told her to take her time, but I didn't realize we'd be left waiting forever for water refills, 30min for food (kitchen's fault), and at least 10min after asking for check. I still tipped well over 20% but their staff seems too spent and overwhelmed from the crazy crowds that are so unusual this time of year. In summary, it was great for decadent breakfast foods, diner-quality for my burger, and while I understand how taxed our server was, the service really dragged. I had seen reviews commenting on the wait but do beware that it's still suuuper bad apparently at all times of their hours, and even random weekdays when people are enduring their Trump staycations. I rate it a 3 but my son was so happy with his food so I rounded up. read more

I was really disappointed with my recent experience here, particularly because I've ordered from this restaurant before and have always enjoyed it. I called ahead to place an order and was told to remain on hold while the staff member returned to take my order. Unfortunately, they seemingly forgot about me, and I remained on hold for over 10 minutes. Since I was on my lunch break and had limited time, I decided to drive to the restaurant and place my order in person. When I arrived, they asked if I was picking up a to go order, and I explained that I was still on hold and had not had a chance to order yet, and they apologized, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the interactions that followed were consistently unpleasant. While waiting for my food, I simply tried to pay so that I could leave as soon as my order was ready. When I asked one of the waitresses if I could pay, I was met with an unnecessarily dismissive and rude response. I had a similarly unpleasant interaction with another waitress when I asked again. What was most surprising was that I was polite throughout the entire interaction and was not asking for anything unreasonable. The level of attitude and dismissiveness I received was completely disproportionate and made what should have been a simple lunch-ordering experience incredibly uncomfortable. The food has always been good, which is why I would genuinely like to continue supporting this restaurant. However, customer service matters, and after this experience, I'm unfortunately reconsidering whether I want to return. I hope this was an isolated incident, because the treatment I received was just strange and disappointing. read more

I was back in Philly for work and wanted to check out a breakfast/brunch spot that I used to love. Unfortunately, things were different this time. FOOD: The breakfast burrito was not good at all. They put huge chunks of raw onions and green peppers in it. I had to pick them all out. They should cut them small and at minimum sweat them down a little. Those are 2 products that should be used sparingly due to their powerful flavor. It was also supposed to have bacon in it, but there were only a few teeny tiny pieces in it. By "few" I mean like 4 bacon bits in the entire burrito. Based on the size and the taste, I think they actually used a jar of those little red salad dressing isle bacon bits. I have a good palate and struggled to even taste the bacon. I even pulled 1 of the 4 bacon bits out and ate it on its own & it tasted like nothing. Unknown if that was because it was so small or because it wasn't real bacon. SERVICE: They sat me at the bar, but I didn't get a server to come greet me for almost 10 minutes. But I do acknowledge it was very very busy so I wasn't too concerned. ** I probably just ordered the wrong menu item. I do not recommend the cowboy burrito. However 9 of the 10 times I've dined there it was a good experience. The place was packed on a Wednesday morning. So obviously people love this place. ____________________________________________________________________ GOOD: Those little Jewish Apple Cakes were the same as they always were. I still enjoyed that. read more

Came for coffee and a piece of cake. I like the interior and the service was great. The coffee was good and they refilled several times. The cake though was a dry mess. The waitress gave us samples but I ordered a piece. May be back for breakfast or brunch. read more

Love this place for breakfast. Have been here a few times and it's always been great food, served quickly, for a great price. I have two grown sons, but when my wife and I go in I always comment, the boys would love this, meaning back when they were teenagers. Huge pancakes with fun toppings and recipes. The kind of food a 16 y.o. boy would devour. But it's terrific all around. read more

It was my birthday and my husband and I wanted to have lunch with my daughter and grandchildren. Service was outstanding imho My husband and grandson enjoyed their cheeseburgers and fries. There were fresh strawberries and bananas ...French toast sampler over-the-top carb indulgence was yummy...fresh ....kinda home cooked vibe . Unassuming 'decor' baked goods looked delicious but I had eaten ALL of the French toast sampler! We left a nice tip..(my daughter calls it messy kids tax) but service never complained while my grandson smeared the windows watching cars go by... read more

I kept hearing about this place for the past few years and so I finally tried it on a Friday morning at 9 AM with my friend. I recommend it highly! Everyone was super friendly and nice and service was quick. I didn't really test them out very well because I just had scrambled eggs with turkey sausage and home fries and I didn't try any of their delicacies like pancakes, French toast, etc.. But the eggs and potatoes were great. Their Coffee was great which is very important to me. They give you a small bite of their famous apple cake. Excellent - moist cinnamon delight. You can wander a few stores down to their market and buy their cakes, cookies, salads, hot food. When we left, there was a line waiting to get in!! A local hot spot for sure. read more

I wish there were more places like this cafe. Usually go for breakfast, the offerings are excellent and the service is what everyone looks for today; very attentive and customer focused. The staff always impress us, they can't do enough for you. I wish there were more eating experiences like this, they are the kind of establishment that you rarely find anywhere. I wish we had more places like this read more

Visited on a busy Sunday but was seated quick. Apple walnut bread instantly brought to table. Greeted by server and gave drink orders. First timer so waitress suggested pound cake French toast and my friend got the Apple walnut French toast. Both ver good but I'd probably try the Apple walnut next time. Tons of French toast options but egg/omelette options too. We weee visiting but never felt rushed. Won't be disappointed. read more

Wonderful restaurant!! Good selection of gluten free options. My daughter got the florentine crepe; she said it was heavenly. My husband got a scramble bowl and loved it. Mother-in-law got the quiche with side of beef soup. She said it was the best quiche she'd ever eaten and soup was delicious. My other daughter got hard boiled eggs and bacon - they were cooked perfectly. I had eggs Benedict on gluten free bread - just wonderful! Definitely recommend this cafe! Wish we had it close to our house! We are from out of state! And definitely go to their bakery a few doors down to buy some of the apple cake that they give us as an appetizer. Thank you for a wonderful start to our day! read more

Met a friend for breakfast as Apple Walnut Cafe was halfway between where I live and Swarthmore. It's a super cute diner-like atmosphere with very friendly wait staff and an extensive menu with all kinds of eggs, french toast, pancakes, and lots more. I enjoyed my blueberry pancakes and my friend enjoyed his eggs. It's a solid choice for breakfast and I look forward to trying other items on their menu in the future! read more

I love apple walnut Café in Broomall. Our favorite server is Denise. She is so special and kind. Very courteous to customers. Excellent server. Food is fabulous especially their if you want more than three things in your omelette egg bowls Great price for good quantity for the money you get your meat potatoes, toast, eggs, and vegetables and cheese. It's one price for all of it and you don't have to pay extra. Everyone is very friendly. I will be going back here on a regular basis. read more

Hidden little neighborhood gem with great food. I am not typically a stuffed french toast person, but glad I tried the Apple Walnut French Toast with Walnut Cream Cheese stuffing. Slightly sweet and savory if you omit the syrup, which is how I like it. Asked for the "bold" coffee and they insisted on brewing me a new batch. Super friendly staff. The only thing I wish they could control/improve is the limited parking. read more

We stopped in for lunch on Juneteenth. It was very crowded. We were able to sit at the counter because the wait for a table was long. Even though we were sitting at the counter, the waitress seemed not to see us. We eventually placed our orders. The food was ok. They have Pepsi products. There is parking in the lot of the strip mall. It was ok. I'm guessing that many people like it based on the line of people waiting to get in. read more

I ordered catering for a party. The day before the party, there was a surprise forecast for snow that night. Judy (maybe the owner?) called me to ask if I was considering cancelling. I feel really bad because I gave her a hard time - a bunch of people were already at my house for the weekend and I couldn't cancel. She was very gracious despite my attitude, and promised to have my order ready no matter the weather. Turns out all her other catering customers cancelled and she never even opened the store because nobody was going to go out for breakfast in that weather. But she was able to get one employee to come in and together they made the food for me! And it was absolutely delicious! Thank you Judy! I'm sorry for my bad attitude. read more

Let's start by saying I'm disappointed in myself because I hadn't found this spot sooner. It's tucked in a little strip mall in Broomall. The inside is clean and tables spaced out well. The staff we interacted with was attentive, and pleasant. Now the food...first let me apologize I dug in before taking a picture. Next time I visit I'll have one for you. Upon entry you see a small display case with baked goods. Once you're seated they give you a sampling of their Jewish Apple Cake. It definitely starts you off on a good note. There's a variety of options to choose from on the menu. Baked goods (sticky buns, pound cake, Jewish apple cake) transformed into French toast, hot cakes, eggs, lunch items. I chose the French Toast sampler and substituted the stuffed French toast for the cinnamon raisin. The cinnamon raisin was my favorite followed by the pound cake French toast which for me was more like a dessert, flavorful and moist. The banana French toast was ok. If you get the granola banana and toast it's better. And to make my first experience even better. Our waitress was a sweetheart. Before leaving she gave my son a free cupcake since it was our first visit. I definitely recommend this business. The wait time is short and the food is worth it. read more

Always a great visit at Apple Walnut! Great and friendly service. I always recommend!

Different cheesesteak item #1069 in the last five years. If I wake up with a real nice girl and want to take her to breakfast and tell her some pretty little lies, this is the spot. They were nice enough to make me the cheesesteak omelet on a roll. I didn't like $14 but it did come with very tasty home fries. 10:30 am on a wednesday and they were busy. It was very well made. Everything was fresh and tasty. Great service. I'm surprised I didn't buy a pastry. Breakfast spot score is much higher than cheesesteak alone score. read more

I had an enjoyable lunch here! I ordered the pancakes and hot chocolate. The pancakes were good but the hot chocolate just tasted like a regular powder mix added to water. The service was great. The waitress was super friendly and attentive, checking in frequently. We apologized for having a couple of people from the group not yet there and she said it was no problem but would still take our drink order just to get us started so we didn't have to wait. When everyone was there and ready to order, she was very helpful! One person asked for a side of potato pancakes for the table and the waitress recommended instead to get the potato pancake sticks which are better for sharing (and very tasty, it was a great recommendation). If you have any choice in seating, avoid tables near the door in the winter time. Two people from the group I dined with were already seated at a table in the corner near the door when I got there and it was freezing when people would open the door. Not that big of a deal as you can just keep your jacket on or something, but I personally would rather sit elsewhere if I return. There were a lot of other menu items that seem great and I am looking forward to trying them if I'm in the area again. read more

I hate to do it, but I'm afraid I can only give them three stars based on the two visits I've made so far. The first time was great with a server who clearly wanted to make my husband's and my first time a good experience. The food was plentiful and tasty, and we enjoyed our trip to this sweet, pretty,place. Our next visit, however, wasn't as good. I thought the slow service might have been based on how busy they were until I realized that almost every table had already been served. I believe there was only one other table that have their food. Our server checked on the table next to us, but I guess it was up to us to flag her down if we needed anything. I don't have a menu in front of me, but I really thought the eggs I ordered were supposed to have red peppers in them. It had green peppers, and too many of them. I don't remember what my husband ordered, but it didn't stand out and I'm not sure that it was prepared correctly, either. We definitely want to give them another try, although we don't really have a lot of use for places that aren't open for dinner. I'm particularly interested in trying the prepared food in their little market that is in the same shopping center. Attractive place that can get a little noisy when it's crowded. read more
