Plenty of seats and tables.

What other breakfast food place do you need with this here? Super reliable and quick. Affordable and definitely a place I love! Been coming here for years and it always feels like a piece of home.

Bread & Butter in the Cedarbrook/East Mt. Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia is a Korean owned breakfast/lunch restaurant that is primarily a take out joint with a few tables along a wall for those of us who prefer to eat when our meals are right from the grill. I stopped in around 10 recently for their Veggie Omelet (onion, green pepper, mushroom, tomato and cheddar cheese), Home Fries with fixings, Rye Toast and Coffee. Service was friendly and attentive and the meal filling. But, there were a few things of note that were problematic. First, everything came served in To Go styro, with prepackaged plastic flatware. Even the decent hot Java came that way - all throw away recyclables and single use materials. I guess that is cheaper than having a working dishwasher, but ecologically unsound, and not designed to make anyone feel at home. Second, the only green vegetable in the omelet was chunks of green pepper, making for a bland taste saved only by the melted cheddar (an up charge). Third, same was true for the extra topping mixed into the home fries; more of the same onion and green pepper from the omelet that wasn't sautéed enough to be soft and pliable when stirred into the potatoes for the expected savory flavor. Forth, the taters while plentiful, were somewhat dry and mealy, rather than a pleasant texture and chew. Too many corners cut here to show appreciation for the customer. Someone with culinary skills should examine the otherwise good menu to be sure the right ingredients are being used to present the best version of these dishes. My breakfast was certainly not. Edible, but regrettable. Could have been so much more.

Had a urge for a omelet and thought I'd try out Bread & Butter. Had pretty good reviews so why not! It's located on Wadsworth Ave. in East Mt. Airy with only street parking (no meters). Parking did'nt seem to be a problem though. I was confused till I asked some people where this restaurant was. The sign said "Breakfast Junction", but that was the place! I guess they never changed the sign (see pictures below). Once inside the place was pretty nice. A neighborhood homey feel with plenty of seating. You can tell they have a lot of regulars. The waitress was busy at the register, but stopped to give us menus and told us to have a seat. She is a great multitasker and knows her job well. Went back to checking people out and before we knew it came to take our order. My friend decided on the fried flounder, grits and eggs w/ toast. I got a cheese w/ bacon omelet and pancakes. We both wanted coffee. We had no complaints, the coffee hot, Omelet fluffy and cheesy. I've had better pancakes but still a 4 out of 5. My friend did say the portion of her fish could have been a little bigger. The prices were great! and i like that we didn't feel rushed. Special shout out to Violet (our waitress). She was awesome and made us feel at home. I would recommend this place and would differently go back.

Value: 4/5 Dishes can be quite expensive, but the food quality, service and atmosphere truly make it worth it. Opportunities for Learning: 4/5 There are a few dishes I had to google while I was there. This pushed my food knowledge a little. For example, "Sauce gribiche." Great opportunities to learn!

We started yesterday off with a delightful brunch at Sabrina's Cafe. We were thrilled to arrive and…read morebe seated quickly, even as a party of four. Our server Rachel was lovely and gave us a rundown of their specials and the menu's top hits. Our drink selections ranged from as boring as a Diet Coke to as fun as a seasonal lemonade. We were all content with our choices, though we puttered around making suggestions from their large drink menu. I typically go for a savory breakfast, but the stuffed brioche French toast was speaking to me. I can never turn down banana! The rest of our table ordered avocado toast (x2) and fried eggs with bacon. Everyone was really happy with their choices and an added bonus was that our food came out quickly. I insisted everyone at our table try a bite of my massive stuffed brioche French toast and the consensus was that it was ridiculously good. Though this spot is tiny, it is not to be missed.

Luckily, we found street parking right next to the restaurant, which was a nice surprise. When we arrived, the wait for a table of three was about 45 minutes. That's somewhat expected for a popular brunch spot on a weekend. Once seated, the service was prompt. Our waiter stopped by quickly with waters and took good care of us throughout the meal. I ordered the House Angus Burger with sweet potato fries. It was solid, flavorful, and definitely filling. My friend got the Bella Vista Omelet with home fries, and we both agreed that while the food was good, it felt like standard brunch fare rather than anything particularly memorable. Based on the long wait and the hype surrounding Sabrina's, I think we were expecting the food to really stand out. In my opinion, the dishes we tried were comparable to what you'd find at a quality chain brunch spot like First Watch. That's not necessarily a bad thing, the food was satisfying, but it didn't quite justify the lengthy wait. That said, the menu has plenty of more unique and creative options that we didn't try. I'd be open to coming back and ordering one of those specialty dishes next time. Overall, I left satisfied with the meal and service.

It really embodies the Parisian vibe and makes you feel like you are not in Philadelphia. Onto the food! The bread basket and butter are always things I look forward to. The cranberry nut bread is amazing and it's always a great way to start a meal here so I love that they bring this to you. My absolute favorite thing to order that I cannot go without is the Warm Shrimp Salad. The shrimp is cooked perfectly and paired with this amazing lemon dressing that is creamy but not too heavy. Adding the sun-dried tomatoes and the avocado is perfection. I usually make a combination bite of all of the ingredients and it is heaven to my taste buds. I highly recommend this entrée. We have gotten a lot of other things on the menu before, but some of the standouts include the French Onion Soup, the Tuna Carpaccio, the Escargot, the Tomato Tart, and honestly just a side of the fries. The fries here are delicious. The waiter recommended the Tuna Carpaccio and oh my gosh it was so good. It was salty and the tuna is so melt in your mouth and the bread went perfectly with it. The tomato tart just tasted like an elevated pizza so you can't really go wrong with it. My husband absolutely loves the Escargot and I think the sauce that it comes with is really good. Their take on a French Onion Soup is so good. The cheese layer is decadent and the soup is rich, salty and just delicious. Getting a side of the fries with the aïoli they bring you is also pure joy. We never have a bad time when we come here. Sometimes it is hard to get a weekend reservation, but there tends to be a lot of cancellations so just keep checking and you're sure to find something. The restaurant is so big yet always packed. It is really impressive because there's never a wait time for your food and you always get good service. This place is like a machine, it's so incredible.
