Plenty of seats and tables.

Food, service was great. Everyone was nice and friendly. A hidden gem for the area. Quick and easy. Our new go to when we visit the city

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.

The inside is really modern and aesthetic, while still giving off a cozy cafe feel. Service was nothing crazy, but nothing bad either. The Yemenite Latte was a 4/10 for me. The flavor was spot on and tasted like milk with Yemeni spices and just a hint of espresso. I really wish the espresso came through more because I think that would've made it perfect. The Pistachio Sticky Bun was an 8/10 and definitely worth the hype. It was served warm and had the soft, pillowy texture of a cinnamon roll, but with a syrupy pistachio flavor. It practically melts in your mouth. The Grilled Cheese Jerusalem Bagel was basically a grilled cheese, but I loved the thin, slightly crisp shell and all the sesame seeds on the bagel. The cheese had almost a pimento cheese flavor, which I really liked. 9/10.

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.

I made a reservation online on OpenTable. We arrived earlier than our reservation slot so we were able to walk around and take pics. Unfortunately on the night we went it was super cloudy and had been raining so the views weren't nearly as good as they could have been. There's a grand staircase that walks down into an even bigger and more open area. Up first, was a $9 hot chocolate and a $23 Bluecoat (Dirty Martini with blue cheese olives). The martini was perfect, exactly how I like it with tiny slivers of ice shards. Second, I had a $30 Gold Espresso Martini with vodka. It was also perfect. Probably the prettiest espresso martini I've ever been served. The leaf design in your drink is pretty sweet. Tons of dates here, anniversaries, vacationers, and people super dressed up. Most certainly look your best if you decide to come. Next time I'm in Philly, I'll certainly be back!
