Haven't been to Ardmore Station Cafe in several years, but remembered it being a decent breakfast spot. Came in at 1 pm on a Sunday and ordered eggs, bacon and potatoes. Everything came out room temp. Eggs were fine. Potatoes were bland and oily. Bacon was overcooked and crumbly to the point that it was inedible? It was very bad. Not sure if it was an off day, but I will not be back when there are many other breakfast options nearby. read more

Ardmore Station Cafe - Bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

The good: Crispy potatoes and keeping the coffee full and hot. The bad: Overcooked eggs Benedict with a poor amount of sauce. The Strawberry Pancakes only had a few small sad pieces of strawberries that were coated in sugar and half white. Even though my daughter and I slowly ate the sad food no one asked us how it was until I went to the register. When I did said the potatoes were good but the Benedict were not I just got a blank stare. It wouldn't take much to make the place better but I can't do it for them and they don't seem to have the desire. read more

Ardmore Station Cafe - Over cooked eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

Amazing hospitality. We had a great server, food was hot and amazing. Couldn't finish the plate there was so much good. Easy to park over at the Suburban Square and a minute walk. A must visit if you're in the area. read more

Food was fine. Nothing special or innovative. Portions are fairly large, which for some people is really important. Service was indifferent, at best. The place was empty. No, I literally mean empty. When we arrived at 1:15, there was one other couple finishing up their meal, but otherwise the place was empty. Nonetheless, it took nearly 20 minutes to turn around an order of pancakes and chicken strips. But none of that is the reason for the 2-star review. That is because they've decided to be cash only, which also probably explains why the place was empty. It's the 21st century, people pay for things with their watches. Nobody carries cash anymore. The only reason to be cash only is ... read more

This is a great breakfast and lunch spot opposite the Ardmore train station. There's metered parking. There are many tables inside. We tried the breakfast sandwich and BTA omelette. Both come with the breakfast potatoes which we agreed are the best we've had- excellent crunch and not greasy. read more

I went to Ardmore Station Cafe for breakfast a couple of weeks ago. Service was good, and the restaurant was pleasant and well-lit. I don't remember what I got, probably some kind of omelette. It was good, there was nothing wrong with it. But it came with outstanding fried potatoes. They were in little cubes, crisp on all six sides and soft in the middle. I don't remember the omelette but I sure do remember those potatoes and I want to go back for them. read more

Long wait for party of 12 and the stated seating time was way off. Waited 90 minutes before leaving. Ended up begging a lingering party to help. I'm sure it's a wonderful place but only for small parties. Will never return. We gave up and left went to white dog cafe down the street and seated immediately read more

A quaint cafe located in Ardmore right next to Maido and the train station (that is perpetually under construction) that has solid basic breakfast food. The location can be different to find since it is a heavily trafficked area and the sign is not very eye-catching however, once you find it it's easy to enter. The atmosphere: Like I said about the solid basic breakfast food, the decor is well...solid and basic. There is nothing fancy about this place. It is reminscent of a diner and that's a good vibe considering the area! The food: I will be honest to say there are better options for breakfast in the area. The food is simple and filling. I found the potatoes here to be greasy and acid reflux inducing. That said, you can get a good amount of food for your buck! A warning about parking, there really isn't any right at the location but across the street on the right-hand side, there are parking meters. read more

Placed a breakfast order and regretted it. The Streusel pancake is literally nothing more than the regular pancake with a TINY / meaningless amount of "streusel" which is so dense and dry it cannot be spread, but even if it could be a) it would only cover 1/8 of one pancake and b) you wouldn't want to anyway because its gross. These are $4 more than the regular pancakes. The grits were 100% unseasoned and flavorless. Both of these were thrown in the garbage. The breakfast sandwich was acceptable in flavor but only after the burn parts of egg and meat were cut off. I wonder if the owners of this place have sampled the food recently? read more

Solid affordable diner food. A place where you can quite literally roll out of bed to go get some comforting breakfast and a great hot coffee. The service is always great and quick, too. My go-to is coffee, eggs over easy with a side of scrapple and an order of French toast for me and my partner to split. Worth it. read more

Really wanted to love this place but food fell short of expectations. Got the avo toast - toast was cold and the onions were overwhelming. Overall it just didn't work for me. Cute cafe, quick and friendly service right across the Ardmore Station. read more

Everything was good!! When it comes to breakfast I can be a little bias. I often feel like I make the best breakfast, sooo whenever I go out, I kinda don't set my expectations to high, however Ardmore Station Cafe definitely delivered and I was impressed! Ardmore Station Cafe is a somewhat small diner/ cafe establishment. Once you arrive you can be able to seat yourself. Our waitress was very attentive and she didn't mind accommodating some items that our only served on the weekends such as the smoked salmon omelet. I ordered the smoked salmon omelette and red velvet pancakes and both meals were soo good. The pancakes were fluffly and flavorful. My omelette was also very good. The salmon was well seasoned and the omelette had the perfect amount of cheese. What I like best about the Ardmore Station Cafe is their creative menu. They offer creative pancakes from Oreo to Cinnamon Streussel. Yum! They also offer lunch and takeout seems to be very popular! read more

I love breakfast with my hubby because it's time for us and he's willing to feed into my Yelp 'Collection Tabs'. Him paying in a added bonus! The Ardmore Station Cafe was a great choice for a lazy Sunday morning. There is plenty of free parking on the weekend this so convenient because the Cafe literally is at the 'station' sharing the lot. The sign is not prominent, the Cafe is diagonally across from the train platform up a few steps. Once inside the cafe it has the feel of a diner but not its style and definitely not the decor of a 'Cafe'. Once seated we were greeted by a friendly server who quickly got our coffee and water along with offering to answer any questions. After a few inquiries I went with the option to choose 3 types of French Toast, Crunchy, Classic and pumpkin. I chose these because although the other options were flavors I would be interested in I don't like too much sweet stuff squirting out of my food! The photos on Yelp also showed various pancakes that were not on the menu. Hubby loved the 'Italian Omelette' the sausage were very flavorful. The portions are average, considering the French Toast was $10 the 3 half slices weren't anything to speak of. Overall I had a good experience. The service, food and prices were all good.

We came here because we could get sat immediately while other places hade a 30-45 minute wait on a busy Sunday morning. Their service was a little slow including taking about 5 minutes to get the menus after we sat down. About half of what we ordered was really good so it's hit or miss on the menu. I highly recommend the speciality pancakes and the grilled cheese Benedict! The omelet tasted like it was probably cooked next to fish but wasn't separated enough and some of the home fries were cold by the time they got to our table but otherwise the food was satisfactory. read more

Very basic breakfast. Cooked to order. A bit expensive for the family. Great place for a business meeting. Service was acceptable. Nothing bad. Neutral ambient noise. Conversational level noise. Great atmosphere for a breakfast for two . Menu not eclectic at all. Three stars because it wasn't anything wow . read more

Foods are good,price is super affordable especially on week day....they only got one server for 5-6tables when I was there. Not very clean but acceptable (like there are garbages on the floor and the tables has water spots on it) Lots of family and groups went there.) They also sell La Columbe draft latte!(my new fav) I had the avocado and egg,come with a side of fried crispy potatoes chunks and regular pull coffee for 8$! I saw another table having the avocado toast which looks very nice with 2 poached eggs on! Will come back for that!!! read more

Nice quiet little place with a good view on second level. SERVICES, friendly and quick. This is my second time at this establishment and I would still come back. The only thought that I have is that they should have free alternatives to the potatoes like grits. read more

Just ok! Good service. We were seated fast and served fast and everyone is nice and friendly. Had no issues, but I've had better and from the reviews I expected more I guess. The food was okay, I had the challa French toast but it was kind of dry, my hubby had the crab Benedict. They were ok but could have used some more seasoning. It's a quaint little spot. Also very little parking. read more

One of the best brunch spots in Ardmore! Ardmore Station Cafe is a small and quaint diner just across from the train station. It has limited seating, so do be aware for parties greater than 4 that it may take a while. For parties of two, even on busy Saturdays and Sundays, the longest you'll wait is 10-15 minutes as service is relatively quick. Prices are pretty fair, and their brunch menu features a good mix of sweet and savory. The pancakes and French toast look extremely tasty - a sampler of 3 is less than $10! I usually stick to the savory, having extremely enjoyed their Eggs Benedict and Sausage and Biscuits. I cannot overstate how yummy the sausage and biscuits is! I get it every time now. The omelettes are also well done and come with homefries. One thing to note - if you enjoy actual fries more, they will gladly substitute your homefries for regular (and extremely tasty) fries! On top of it all, the unlimited refills on coffee and great service really make this place worth coming back to. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Ardmore! read more

This small, unassuming cafe hidden across the way from the Ardmore Train Station stop is one of my favorite go-tos. They make delicious, cafe-style breakfasts, sandwiches, and even have good coffee. I usually get a side of grits with my orders and, coming from the South, it's always been tough for me to find decent grits. But Ardmore Station Cafe definitely knows how to make solid grits that remind me of home. read more

I had a pretty simple breakfast here and it was okay, but not spectacular. The price was fair and I got a good amount of food, so I was grateful for that. Service was fine as well. I had eggs with cheese and zucchini. I really enjoyed having the option of zucchini because I don't see that at a lot of places. The potatoes were decent but nothing out of the ordinary. So, it was good but not great. I'd love to try another dish here in the near future, though, because it really seems like most folks love it! read more

This morning I had the urge to try out a local brunch spot. I find you get warmer service and awesome twists to breakfast ideas. So after looking up restaurants in the area, Ardmore Station Cafe fit my fancy. * They have a delectable menu with a section for unique sweet or savory options. I chose a basic meal of eggs, bacon, potatoes and French toast. * The cafe is small and quaint, so if you come during rush hour (like myself) expect a wait. But overall a great experience. When I mentioned how I'd like to have my French toast hotter, they immediately heated it up for me. So they've earn high stars in my book. * If driving there, there is a small amount of parking in front of the cafe, but I'd suggest parking in the commuter lot over the weekend to save the headache of finding a spot read more

God bless THE ardmore station cafe. It is my absolute favorite for a variety of reasons: it has some character, is drastically different from its uppity mainline breakfast joint counterparts, it's affordable, and the food is to die for. They were open and accommodating on New Year's Day, and we called in some black bean breakfast burritos. Perfect for a non-meat eater like myself. I've enjoyed everything I've tried here in the past: the stuffed french toast is another definite highlight. The strawberry and Nutella variety is a classic -- you've just got to come hungry. Did I mention the prices?? $4.50 for an egg and cheese bagel WITH breakfast potatoes. Minellas is shaking in their boots. I'm one of your biggest fans, ardmore station cafe! I reserve 5 star ratings for only the best of the best! read more

Well, this place was good, but not mind-blowingly good. A coworker and I both had the Avocado BLT and the macaroni salad - the sandwiches were great but we agreed the macaroni salad wasn't that good (I was expecting homemade but it seemed like it was commercially made to me). We split the onion rings and they were really good. Another coworker raved over the tuna melt but barely touched the coleslaw (same issue - commercially made - sorry but I don't see how places that make that stuff stay in business!). Anyway, it was a cute little place and the waitress was great - we do plan to go back sometime. When we do, I'll be trying one of the breakfast dishes. There were only a few other tables filled in the place, which surprised me. Given all the wonderful reviews, I was expecting it to be packed, especially at lunch on a Friday. read more

Simple but delicious food that hits the spot for a hearty breakfast or a filling lunch.

If there is a better breakfast in ardmore\bryn mawr, please let me know where it is! For me, this is the best breakfast without driving to Nudy's in Wayne. The service is great and the staff is very friendly. I've never had a complaint here. The breakfast is excellent...I generally get a western omlette or the eggs benedict and am pleased everytime. The stuffed french toast seems to steal the spotlight with all their delicious stuffings, but don't forget the pancakes, they are quite tasty as well! I'm very pleased with the hollindaise sauce here, and the fact that they don't have it during the week, only on weekends...because it doesn't keep well and they don't use enough during the week to keep it on hand...this is a great sign that they use real hollindaise and not some cheap mix! The seating is a bit tight...if you are in a big group you may have to wait for a couple tables to open up so they can be joined togther into a bigger table...that's why you may arrive before another party, but get seated after them...there just isn't much space...i'm generally there solo or with my GF so the wait hasn't been to bad. Get there before 9 on weekends and you shouldn't have to wait long if at all...that is one issue with this place, there really isn't anyplace to wait without feeling in the way, but thats a minor issue for most people. Weekdays there is generally one server working the floor while on a weekend there will be 4 or 5, and they do get quite a crowd for breakfast so get there early! You can find metered parking within 100 feet of the ASC, the lot nearby is for the train, but I've never had an issue parking there either... So, 4 stars for breakfast at the Ardmore Station Cafe, give it a shot and let me know what you think! read more

I Have to thank Yelp for this one, was in Ardmore today and I wanted Breakfast and Lauren wanted Lunch. Looked on Yelp and found this little place! I had the blueberry pancakes with granola and Lauren had an egg white omelet with cheese. We both got an order of bacon. 2 Pancakes filled me up, I was very happy with my delicious breakfast. Didn't try Lauren's omelet but her hash browns were tasty. Fresh Potatoes here my friends. We can't wait to go back again. I need to try all this french toast that everyone is talking about. It is very cool that they have a french toast sampler where you can sample 3 different kinds of delicious french toast made with challah bread. read more

Very cute and very tasty! Went to this place for a friend's birthday brunch recently and fell in love with the rich and flavorful foods they had here. My friend and I split the speculous stuffed French toast and oh my gosh it was decadent and rich! There was the perfect amount of speculous and bananas on there and it wasn't over powering at all. I ordered the breakfast bean burrito which was also delicious. I thought the beans could've been flavored slightly or something because it seemed like just plain black beans. The eggs in it were good along with the other vegetables and avocado. The space was slightly small for going there for a group. It's basically a room with many tables with no secluded areas so I felt like we were being slightly loud only because we had many people talking at once but that's something that's hard to fix. The service was phenomenal. We got a cake for my friend and which we gave the waitress ahead of time and she brought it out at the end nicely. She was outgoing and happily fulfilled our requests for water/napkins/etc. Overall: great place for brunch with some friends but maybe not for a group just because it could be disturbing for other people! Definitely would recommend. read more

Waited for 20 mins and no one even looked at us. Ridiculous. Even with one person serving that's not okay. Bye.

After weeks of quarantine without proper brunch food, we were long overdue for some classic brunch food! We ordered Lox and Bagel on an Everything bagel and a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on a Kaiser roll. The Lox and Bagel was everything you could imagine, quality was so good it actually reminded me of Harp & Crown's AYCE Brunch Buffet! As for the bacon, egg and cheese, there was so little cheese I couldn't really tell if it was there at all. The bacon is also the hard kind, not crispy bacon, great for sandwiches and not too oily but a little thinner, crispier could've been nice. I did ask for the potatoes to be fried extra and they did that so yay! Though they're in tiny little cubes like 1 inch by 1 inch cubes haha, cute and never seen anything quite like it. read more

I'm back in Ardmore, again waiting for my car to be serviced, and this time I looked forward to a delicious breakfast while waiting -- and was not disappointed! This time I had the Grilled Cheese Benedict, chosen partly because I'm not a big fan of English muffins. This dish is like a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato and bacon on challah bread, topped with two poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. Perfectly cooked as were the potatoes. Service is friendly and the La Colombo coffee is so good! A hidden? gem! read more
