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!

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.
Gail F.

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

The bread is fresh, Caesar dressing is incredibly creamy, and the cutlet is just perfectly crispy and juicy. The order always comes out on time. Even when the shop is bustling with the lunch rush. I'm very impressed with this small space and the volume they're able to churn out.

I came here hearing some decent things about this place. Wow. Exceeded my expectations…read more Cutlets were nice and crisp on both. The bread was a fantastic choice. Not tough but a nice, soft seeded sub roll. Seeing it arrive was a little overwhelming but I kinda thought the thing was light and was easy to finish off 1/2. The Fig and Pig - the fig jam was outstanding. Great sweetness with the saltiness from the prosciutto and then to top it off, the crunch of the cutlets. Excellent. As I was leaving, I saw a cutlet, with mutz, broccoli rabe, and roasted red peppers. I WILL be back for that. That looked amazing. Service was very friendly, prompt. We sat down and within a few minutes, our sandwiches came out. Looks like they were working on takeout / delivery orders and I thought, oh crap, am i behind all of that. But I guess they were either done or they prioritize the tables. Place was small but at 2:30 or so, it had a couple of tables open. They had tables outside but a little warm and in the sun for that. Well done, Liberty Kitchen!

And I'm not talking about one great sandwich or a lucky visit. I'm talking about consistency over a long period of time. I've eaten at least 100 cheesesteaks and another 100 pizzas from Angelo's, and I genuinely cannot remember ever getting a poorly made item. That kind of consistency is rare, especially in a city where everyone has an opinion about who makes the best cheesesteak. The bread is phenomenal, the meat is incredibly flavorful, and the whole sandwich comes together exactly how you want it: juicy, delicious, and worth every bite. It doesn't matter if you're picking it up fresh on Ninth Street or ordering delivery through one of the apps. The quality holds up, and that's what separates a great restaurant from a great restaurant on its best day. And the pizza? Some of the best in the city. Period. Philadelphia has no shortage of places making good cheesesteaks and pizza, and I'm always happy to try somewhere new. But when I want the absolute best, Angelo's is my gold standard. Over and over and over again, they deliver. That's why, in my opinion, when it comes to a Philadelphia cheesesteak, there's Angelo's and everybody else.

There's not a whole lot of space, and you probably won't be able to bring a large party in here more 4-6 people. But if you're dining in in a smaller group, you should have a good time. They keep things relatively clean. I personally lean on the cheesesteak purist side of the scale, and so although this cheesesteak tastes pretty darn good, I am of the opinion that most things that you slap truffle on will instantly be above average good, just because it tastes like truffle. Otherwise, the cheesesteak here is pretty close to slightly above average-- and personally I'd spend my money elsewhere if it weren't for the novelty. Otherwise, the roast pork here is underrated and overshadowed by its truffle cousin. Grab that if you get overpowered by truffle flavor easily. To-go orders have been consistently on time and ready once I arrived. Would gladly order here again, but would definitely prefer something pure, ex. without truffle.

Hershel's Corned Beef Reuben was way better than any sandwich I ever had there. The cut of meat is thicker and the portion sizes are huge. My husband thinks he heard the guy say it was three-quarters of a pound of corned beef. I believe it because it definitely felt like there was at least 6 ounces on my half of the sandwich. I'm glad we decided to split it. It was totally worth the price that we paid for it. We arrived around 4:00 pm on a Thursday. It was busy at the market, but not as busy as it was on Saturday. We were tossed between the Reuben and the Rachel. The difference is that the Rachel has cole slaw instead of sauerkraut. I don't think you can go wrong either way. It didn't take long for the order to be ready. The service was great. They split the sandwiches and wrapped them individually. We each got a pickle spear. We didn't have to go too far to find seats. They have bar seating along the back counter that's specifically for their customers. The Reuben was very tasty. I even liked the pickle. I think they have desserts, but we had no room for it. I'd love to return one day to try their pastrami, and maybe even the breakfast. I wish we would have had more time to try one of these sandwiches on Challah bread. The menu has a little something for anyone craving a Jewish style deli experience. It's worth a visit when at Reading Terminal Market.

They serve you fresh waster (Drinks to order include Hanks, Boylan's, Harney and Sons, Teas etc.) and will serve you at the table or you can walk up and order at the counter. Their menu has a great mix of deli, steak, "chicken" steak, meatball, sausage and cutlet sandwiches with interesting flavor combos. You can also get breakfast (till 11AM) or a salad. They also have sides that include - tots, fried pickle chips, onion rings, fries, fried mozzarella and Zayda's pickle spears, chips and cherry pepper shooters. They have a couple of vegan options and GF rolls for extra $$. The staff was more than happy to give recommendations and their favs. My first lunch was The Eye - $15 Ribeye steak, Cooper Sharp American, fried onions came on a seeded Liscio's roll. If you enjoy the somewhat newer Cooper sharp style that's out there you'll like theirs. The Cooper sharp was gooey, mixed in well with the meat and on the heavier side. The ribeye was thin cut, delicious and the portion was pretty hefty. Second visit I went with - The Nad - $15 Chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, Mike's Hot Honey that came on an unseeded Liscio's roll. The portion size was good, chicken was fresh with good breading, the hot honey was a tad on the heavy side, but the flavors all came together pretty good on this one. Sweet, salty, light bitterness from the arugula and some heat from the hot honey. I added Thin Cut Idaho fries to make it a combo for $3 extra and I have to say they were delicious. They smelled like McD's and tasted similar. They are cash only, but have an ATM on site. You can use a card if you order online. The one bathroom they have was pretty clean and organized. I will certainly stop back for a visit if I'm in the area to try out more of their menu. Thanks guys!
