    Tofutti cream cheese, avocado, sun dried tomatoes and onion on an everything bagel.
    Shelly V.

    Fresh Bagel Sandwich Kerry and team member was very kind. Quality Service with a cozy dining area. Vegan and Gluten Free options. I have passed this establishment so many times. I decided to just pop in and appreciate the warm welcome from Kerry. "High Fidelity" items available.

    Our fave local coffee jawn

    Bennas is my favorite local coffee joint! It's cute, cozy, and consistently serves good, fresh coffee. I've only had their pastries a few times but we're always solid and a good selection! Indoors is warm in the winter, outdoor seating is limited but sunny in the spring. The baristas are friendly and cheerful and the wifi works, what more could you ask for.

    Laid-back, comfortable cafe. Delicious bagel sandwiches and a great assortment of specialty coffees. Hot and cold beverages and oodles of delicious sweets. Very kid and dog friendly. A charming neighborhood place to gather and to see original art by local artists. You can even shop and give the unique gift of art. Or snag a Benna's gift certicificate.

    Art at Benna's! Save the Date: December 3, 2023 for the start of your Holiday Shopping 2-4pm

    We had so much fun! A great crown of people came out even in the rain. Art was purchased, coffee and treats. Great conversations and laughs ensued. In fact another Holiday Market will be happening soon. Be sure to check out instagram and Facebook.

    Mango sticky rice-flavored vegan donut!

    Chai vegan donut also good. Everyone here seems to be a regular; tons of people stop by just to say hi, often with their friendly dogs and/or kiddos. It's my go-to place to camp out with my laptop, mostly because it's a 2-minute walk from the pool/gym at Fitness Works. Can get a little loud (mostly because it's such a small space), but I feel comfortable chilling for as long as I need to. Unlike many other coffee/WiFi spots in South Philly, it's never so crowded/busy that I feel pressured to move on so waiting people have a place to sit.

At first, I was worried we would only be able to get bar seating since neither of us put in a reservation. Luckily, the wait staff was able to seat us at a booth as long as we finished by 8pm---perfect! We weren't super hungry, but we were able to share one of the appetizers and get dishes for each of us. The appetizer we got was the rutabaga fondue, with pretzel bread and pickled veggies. It was an intriguing dish and the pickled veggies added an interesting tang. For my entree, I got the grilled tofu with kanzuri glaze, okinawa potato, sunchoke miso butter, fancy radishes, and shiso. The presentation was very much on point! For the two of us, our entire meal was around $80. A great experience from start to finish!

I enjoyed the spicy dan dan noodles, made with delicious mushrooms. Everything else was just fine or too smoky for my tastes. I had a really nice glass of wine with my meal. The food presentation was really nice . The space is lovely and quite dark. The service was good. I recommend it to those who enjoy smoky flavors.

The flavors are amazing, the plating is photo-worthy, and the menu is full of fresh local seasonal ingredients prepared in creative ways and often combined with palate-pleasing ferments and sauces. They also now have Camuna Cellars wine and other local options for beverages, which pair well with the menu. Overall, Pietramala is a must-visit. Regardless of whether you're on a plant-based diet or not, bring a group, order the whole menu to share with friends, and enjoy a great meal in a lively, but relaxing space.

Brought out new clean plates a few times and explained everything as it was brought out. The favorites on the current menu for me were the beet salad, sweet potato, stuffed pepper, and mushroom. The sweet potato cashew cheese dressing was just so creamy and rich. And then for the sweet potato, the yuzu buffalo sauce also stood out with a nice sweet, tart, and spicy concoction. For the cavatelli, the biquinho peppers were new to me and gave a unique flavor and texture with the pop. As a big fan of ras el hanout spice mix, I wished it had more strength on the cauliflower plate. Every course was fresh, light, and most had multiple layered flavors to excite your tastebuds. Some amazing flavors and combinations by the chefs. Some of the sauces were exceptionally clever and the presentation and colors really enhanced the experience. All around great dinner, thanks.
