Cheesesteak Melt
Melinda S.

We put in a pick up order online. The food was ready at the given time. The inside of the restaurant is small and casual with some seating. I chose a jerk chicken quesadilla and my bf chose the cheesesteak melt. We also ordered a side of fries. I heated up the fries a bit once we got home since they were a bit cold from the walk back; they were well seasoned and tasty. The cheesesteak and quesadilla were both good. I enjoyed the roasted peppers in my quesadilla. Overall, this spot was good and I'd order from here again.

1908 Cheese Steak
Bianca S.

Cafe 1908 has been on my "to visit" list for awhile. I door dashed them last night. I ordered the cheesesteak and old bay wings. The cheesesteak came with delicious fries. The cheesesteak was a bit smaller than I expected considering the pictures and the price point but the flavors were there! It was very good and I devoured it! I would visit again for lunch time versus dinner since for dinner I'm usually looking for bigger portions.

Seafood Salad
Tiffany D.

A small carry out shop located in the city, they have creative spins on your typical foods. I ordered via door dish and also placed an order online, both were seamless processes. GLOWS: -The seafood salad is very good! On the expensive side for sure, but worth it for a special treat. -In store service was efficient and effective GROWS: -The curry chicken bowl was entirely too spicy. A menu warning would be helpful, as most curry chicken dishes come with adjustable spice levels (in the US at least).

The food and service are outstanding! This place really needs an eat in option. Especially for those of us outside the neighborhood.

Jerk Chicken Wrap  Garlic & Herb Fries
Sophie B.

The jerk chicken wrap with garlic & herb fries on the side is truly a masterpiece. I'm obsessed with this wrap and I truly crave it like every other week. Depending on your spice tolerance, some may think it's too spicy. But just keep in mind, when you order, it's jerk chicken and if you have a low spice tolerance, I wouldn't get it. Also, every time I go in there, the employee working the front is smiling and happy to greet customers. Can't go wrong!

Bang Bang Shrimp wrap
Cleo P.

The shrimp wrap is my go to when I order from 1908. Always well seasoned and fresh. The shrimp are a great size and the cool cole slaw is a lovely compliment to the spice level of the bang bang sauce. The fries are always seasoned and hot. Overall an enjoyable lunch.

Cat Fish bowl
Shameerah S.

I won't really speak on the service or the ambiance of the restaurant since I ordered pick up, and I believe they only do pickup. I wanna say the food was AMAZING. I wish there was more. Everything was seasoned correct, the fish was fried just right, and they surely were not skimpy on the crab. The bowl had a small kick to it cause of the sauce they used atop the rice. I spent $21 and it was definitely worth it. I will say this place can easily get you spending a good amount, but I'd say you're paying for quality.

** Yelp Review # 1,000 ** I knew this milestone review would be special and it certainly is. Located this business on social media. Saw my Yelp Family approved. Took a visit!! Let's start from the beginning. Parking can be difficult but not impossible, depending when you visit. Anytime is a great time for me. Cafe 1908 makes it convenient to order online using Toast and a few other sites, or you can call in. Either way, the food is ready pretty quickly. There's always a sweet young lady who answers when I call in my order, and she gets it perfect every time. Cool atmosphere upon entering and quick retrieval of food. Limited seating (4-5 stools against a wall shelf). I wish there was more seating so I could visit w friends and family. This business is 6 minutes from my job but 35+ minutes from my neighborhood, so it makes it hard to share w friends and family. I like to eat my greatness on site !! So far, I've visited 4-5 times ordering the Catfish Sandwich and the Salmon & Shrimp Bowl. I absolutely love their Garlic & Herb Fries !! Perfecto !! The in-house beverages are top tier!! I absolutely love this black owned business and will continue to support them as long as the consistency continues to stay at the forefront w unmatched customer service, quality ingredients, and generous portions. I think this was a darn great review to dedicate as #1000 aye !! If you haven't visited, treat yourself! You won't be disappointed !!

Salmon Melt
Deanna C.

I have to admit that I have quietly stalked this place for over six months through Instagram. The pictures looked so good, but I have been burned before by establishments that have a strong cult following, and the food is subpar. This place, my friends, is it and worth the internet following! My sandwich was so good that I stopped eating so that I could share it with my family, who agreed that my sandwich was fantastic. As for the service, I ordered online and picked it up, and to my surprise, the restaurant was empty. I am so glad I live far away from this place because I would eat here daily if I lived closer.

I visited the Cafe 1908 today . They have a new Garden Cafe on the top level that specializes in herbal teas and remedies. It's a quaint cafe with wine options and even an Oxygen Bar. Great for those you are healthy conscientious and those looking for a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the day. I met the owner Lola who was awesome. She's super friendly, has a great personality and conversation. She informed me about their $5 wine specials. Even the wines they offer are organic with low sugar content. I received a complimentary herbal tea which was really nice. I went with the Roasted Dandelion Detox Tea. It was great. I'll definitely be stopping by again soon.

Bangin Azz Cheesesteak & 1908 Cheese Steak

In my honest opinion both of these wraps look the same. Bangin azz cheesesteak my azz. $20 for a platter that looks like someone ate fries out of already. & the wraps are in no shape or form contents that amount to $15-20. I live 5 minutes up the street & this is my first & last time eating here. It's truly a poor experience, my fries should not be this soggy & low in quantity for $20. Buffalo Wild Wings would've given me more fries had I ordered a SMALL there. Anyways the wraps were a disappointment my sister wants me to add the deli could've done extremely better & she hates to say that she could've went to Wawa & got something cheaper & of better quality. Not to keep comparing but this is just our experience. 0/10 do not recommend. Someone suggest something different. In need of chefs, lower prices, and better quality food if this place wants more business in the future.

Catfish sandwich Garlic and Herb Fries
Erica B.

5 stars for sure! I stopped in exactly around 12, there was a small line, and about 3 people waiting for their food. Neat time I'm gonna order ahead. I'd recommend you do too. I was craving a fish sandwich so that's what I went with.., the catfish sandwich. Mannnn that damn sandwich was so good!! Piping hot, fresh lettuce, fresh tomato, softly grilled and buttered bun, special sauce, sautéed onions. Divine!!! Absolutely no complaints. The sandwich was accompanied with a garlicky, rosemary fries. I couldn't stop eating them. I wish they were hot like the fish sandwich, they weren't, more like room temperature. When I order ahead I'll ask for fresh fries. I had intentions on eating inside but there wasn't a place to sit. I didn't know. No worries! I ate everything in the car. Street parking, plenty of it, no worries. I'm coming back to try the cheesesteak wraps because that's what I heard everybody ordering. 5 stars for sure

Fried Catfish Sandwich
Josh W.

Walk in place with limited counter seating. I asked their specialty. No quick answer, so I went with the fried catfish sandwich and had a bottle of fresh juice. The juice itself was good but must've cost $9 or so. Blue Magic. The sandwich was pretty good but not distinct. Fries had a nice crisp. I imagine I'll try them again and might revise upwards if something else impresses me.

YUM. I've been here for both brunch and dinner and the food was delicious every time. I highly…read morerecommend the stuffed dates and the breakfast burrito at brunch. The fried ravioli appetizer was a huge hit too, including with our non-vegan friends (the whole restaurant is plant based). I'm determined to try their pizzas next. Plus the service is super attentive and helpful. The atmosphere is cute too, they really do it up for Halloween! And it's in Fell's so it's pretty central and a fun neighborhood to walk around before or after.

The Tiramisu Espresso martini was nothing short of amazing, and also about half of what we ordered…read morebefore leaving. We ordered the Shrimp Scampi knowing full well it was a Vegan dish and I was expecting some sort of "wow" factor on the plant substituted shrimp -- which I did not get. I do not, indeed, see food differently after leaving. Service and ambience were otherwise good. We saw the Industry Mondays deal on $10 "Classic" cocktails and therefore ordered two Oleum Classic cocktails, one Tiramisu Martini and the other, my partner's choice, Cinder & Sumac. We did not get the deal on Classic cocktails ordering from the Oleum Classics -- which is really what inspired me to review the place with a star knocked off. I must specify in this review I am not, nor were my party members, Vegan or Vegetarian -- so we are not the target audience for this establishment. Five stars drinks.
