Grilled Cheese and Orzo Risotto
Shirley L.

Small cafe with 3 small tables (2 chairs per table), came by for a quick brunch. There were 2 employees when we came by Cashier/Barista and the chef. The Cashier/Barista was very nice and the food was pretty simple but good. My one year old toddler loved their Orzo Risotto, unfortunately there was no high chair but we made it work.

Lovely little space with great food! Service is prompt, they have a cute coffee self serve station with a lot of variety and care like lotions and honey. The coffee and sandwich were fantastic, at a good price point $15 sandwich. Exactly what you would expect, wonderful bread and ingredients. Main comment is that there is no bathroom here.

porchetta sandwich
Alice L.

cute, hidden gem of a spot with fantastic sandwiches! i've been meaning to check this place out for months, and my boyfriend and i finally swung by on a saturday. the spot is unassuming but adorable, and there is also a little marketplace section where they sell italian specialty goods. it was not very busy, we had no trouble getting seating. they serve illy coffee here, but it was quite underwhelming. the highlight is definitely the sandwiches. i had the smash burger which was not the correct choice... very mediocre burger with dry patties. the fries were surprisingly great though. my boyfriend had the porchetta sandwich which was fantastic. the ingredients were fresh, the porchetta was flavorful and well balanced. this is definitely an italian spot, and it was my fault for not ordering correctly. service was fast but limited. they were nice enough to let us order from the lunch menu 5 minutes before lunch technically began. i would definitely come back to try their other sandwiches and pastas.

Pastries (taken in afternoon so a lot of sold out)

Ok love love love. Right near Rittenhouse square with an unassuming front you'll find a small but tasty Italian shop. They have everything you could want: pasta and sandwiches, gelato, pastries, espresso. The croissants are huge and the "small" pasta portion is just right for lunch. Great value for price. There is also a small selection of Italian oils, vinegars and the like. Affordable lunch, cute vibes, my extract kind of place, 10/10 recommend.

Caesar with lamb
Erica K.

What a hidden gem! I walked by here 1001 times but never popped in assuming it was a coffee and dessert place but they offer the best lunches around . It's 15$ for a Caesar and soup and that's hard to beat! Decently quiet with some in and out traffic. Quick service

Philly days! Only been around two or so years, this 17th Street cafe has a lot of breakfasty/lunchy food and coffee drinks to choose from. I had an iced mocha (new) latte and the delish large (and cheap) combo serving of wild strawberry swirl and chocolate hazelnut crunch gelato. One quibble, I'd offer the metal "sample" spoons instead of the plastic (soup?) spoons, as too bendy against the thick gelato. Otherwise breakfast and light Italian fare, sandwiches and pasta abound. Note: a nearby newbie and professional declared his cappuccino "the best I've ever tasted"! Limited seating inside and out and courteous service much appreciated!

the interior of a cafe

Such a great addition to the neighborhood! Delicious sandwiches, soups, coffees, salads, pastas, gelatos, and more in an unassuming space in a great location. There's also a small area for Italian specialty goods, if you can believe it. Most folks, during the lunch hour I was there, were grabbing sandwiches to-go, though they do have a small seating area should you decide to enjoy your breakfast or lunch inside. I went with the Vegetariana sandwich and tried a bite of my boyfriend's choice, the Bottega sandwich. Both were cheesy and balanced, not over the top, and served on incredible/soft italian bread. That bread + fresh ingredients = sandwich heaven. I am dying to get back and try something off their breakfast menu (only served until 11am), which includes the classics and some Italian inspired takes as well. Staff is friendly and helpful, and everything was ready in a timely fashion. This will be a regular stop for me in the neighborhood and I highly recommend stopping over for a sandwich!

LOVED IT HERE! Truly authentic Italian cooking, with authentic ingredients to purchase. The staff was so friendly and accomodating on their menu. We had to make a slight change in order for a vegetarian, and they had no issues. We tried their breakfast sandwiches & lunch sandwiches, and each bite was jam packed with substance & flavor (I mean, just look at the layers in my photo.) Fresh ingredients, and an overall quaint/bright spot. This would be an awesome place to post up and get some work done, do some people watching, and enjoy delicious food. Not to mention, their baked goods looked out of this world. We wanted to get so much, but I landed on their passion fruit donut, partly because it was the last one left (so I figured something must be good!) And let me tell you, their dough is different. The donut was dense & fluffy at the same time, and their passion fruit flavor was y-u-m-m-y. I can't wait to go back to try more sandwiches and get some grocery shopping done!

Coffee Viennese

So cute and the coffee menu is not like a typical menu it's very European. I liked it and would go back.

The fabulous pistachio chocolate bar with our chamomile tea and coffee.

Have been here several times since this opened and have tried coffee, tea, and croissants. All EXCELLENT and I must say as a self-proclaimed croissant connoisseur, these are the best croissants I've ever eaten. No matter which croissant you choose, you can't go wrong. The perfect balance of flaky and crispy on the outside and chewy (but not TOO chewy) on the inside. Today, I ventured over to where they have all the imported Italian chocolate bars and tried the one with pistachios. Another excellent choice. Totally worth the ten bucks. Overall, this place uses and sells quality products. Most, if not all, are made in Italy. There are about 3 or 4 little tables inside (for 2 people), which you could just pull closer together for a party of 3 or more. I didn't notice if they were there on this cold day but when warmer, there are definitely small tables outside as well. My boyfriend told me to add a that there is no bathroom in here for customer use. Good to know. This place does NOT lose points for that in my book!

a wide selection of condiments

It's a family owned coffee and sandwich shop. The ladies who work were very helpful and friendly.

Bottega Sandwich
Miles A.

Stopped in and had a sandwich and cookie here. Very well put together sandwich with high quality, fresh ingredients. Choco chip cookie straightforward and tasty. I'll have to try something else next time. Definitely no corners cut here, worth the price for sure. Great spot to stop in for breakfast or lunch, or for one of their many bakery treats. Great people inside. Thanks

Onto the 5 star list you go Dolce Vita…read more On our last trip there, the Misses told the owners, "you guys are going to get ALL of our money." I'm afraid she might be right. Dolce Vita is the tits. Great gelato, a vast array of changing flavors, (also, from small size and up, you can mix and match 2 flavors!!!), a quiet location, indoor AND outdoor seating, legit espresso and cappuccino, a clean interior, reasonable prices, friendly staff, a private parking lot, etc, etc. They just really check all the boxes. Even my Little One, whos favorite ice cream is "Mister Softee," loves coming here to eat "Ferrero Rocher" gelato. My last trip I got pistachio blueberry cheesecake. Boom. I am POSITIVE that we will be back multiple times this summer. Also, they are part of the South Jersey diners club, so you get a discount if you are a member! I actually don't want to post this review because I don't want the place to get swamped, so I can enjoy my gelato without all the people, but they deserve the recognition.

You may have noticed gelato places popping up in South Jersey the last 10 years. But the truth is:…read moreTHERE REALLY IS ONLY ONE gelato shop worth going to... and this is it. I walked in soon after they opened in 2023 not knowing what to expect. But what I found is a family-run business with an amazing array of delicious gelato flavors, a mix of traditional staples, combined with other seasonal and unique flavors. I visit their website on Tuesday and see what the selections are for the week. Trust me: there are new flavors all the time, using a variation of ingredients such as dark chocolate, cannoli, olive oil, figs, all different fruits, etc. There is so much variety in their display... It is impossible to choose what to pick! So my family ends up usually getting two different flavors in a large cup, or more in a jumbo cup order. The product is so rich, creamy and tantalizing, we buy enough for the entire week. The gelato can be kept in your freezer so you can buy a variety with more cups at one time, just bring a cooler with you. They also began hosting small events and parties this year. You will love the scenery and music that is played! It truly is our "GO TO DESSERT" while watching movies or ballgames. They expanded into cappuccino and espresso soon after they opened which I also highly recommend! You will love the service, as the husband and wife team are so much fun and knowledgeable when it comes to their menu. I can't recommend this place enough to my friends and family. It is a treat ALL year round!

A day with beautiful temps meant everyone was flocking to get ice cream. When my friends and I…read morearrived around 4:30 PM, it was somewhat hectic, but there were three associates behind the counter so the wait didn't seem long at all. For a limited time, they have a "Biscuits with the Boss" flavor as a collab with Ted Lasso. I was feeling something fruity so I went with Watermelon Taffy and Goat Cheese with Red Cherries. The half scoop needs to be a thing at more ice cream shops because it is the PERFECT portion! I loved that I could try two flavors without feeling stuffed. Goat Cheese with Red Cherries - very rich and creamy with just enough of the tart cherry to balance out the goat cheese. Watermelon Taffy - almost like a sorbet with watermelon flavor. So refreshing! The little waffle cone piece on the side was a great way to add crunchiness. Every flavor at Jeni's is so fun and interesting. I can't wait to stop in again!

Had this back to back with a nearby local ice cream shop and wow-- Jeni's is fantastic!…read more I really appreciate the creativity that they put into their flavors here. I sampled five flavors and my top three were the Hibiscus Chili Punch, Summer Berries + Passion fruit, and the Watermelon Taffy. The staff member that helped us was very kind, informative, and enthusiastic. He was very open about the flavors and was not shy to tell us what might be too sweet. I wish we came earlier in the day because we got there 30 minutes before closing and they were already in the process of cleaning up. The store still had a super cute color theme going on and it was very clean. We sat at the window barstools while we finished out single scoop. One unique thing about Jeni's is that they serve each flavor by the half scoop, so one scoop automatically defaults to two different flavors!
