Cafe Ole is a cozy inviting place! After being out in the cold, my friend and I stopped in for something warm. I read of tea, we both decided to get the carrot ginger soup. It is a big bowl of soup! It was smooth with a good carrot taste to it. The ginger made it extra warming. It also came with a large pita bread. It was a perfect snack to warm us up! The staff is wonderful! Very friendly! The space is nice and bright with lots of tables inside and also outside in warmer weather. read more

I have been here 2 times and maybe I'm just not ordering the right things. I have gotten pastries and drinks and I fear that I'm missing something for this to be typically rated so high. The drinks are just okay and the pastries are as well! I also think the vibe of the place is so strange, there's nothing 'ole' esk at all. HOWEVER I find the service to be awesome. I believe that's what sets this place apart. Will be back for real food. read more

Cafe Olé - Apple turnover - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Cafe Ole is a great place to stop by for a cup of coffee or fancy tea and a snack. But who knew how great their full service menu is! First truly beautiful day in a while my friend's son and I met for brunch at Cafe Ole - sitting outside and soaking up the sun. We both had the deliciously prepared American Omelet. The peppers were fresh and roasted - potatoes crispy, croissant chocolate-y. As an added bonus my friend's son is an EMT and I learned from him they give free coffee and teas to these guys for their service. Love that! Spend a relaxing afternoon here - it's a perfect local place with a varied menu very well prepared! read more

I had the Vegetable shakshuka and it was wonderful! Great variety. My husband's pastry was yummmy too.

Hands down one of the best breakfast spots.... the service and food was 10/10.. got pesto omelette with sides labneh, harissa & hummus... so good! Do not go to Coffee House too (fishtown) where the owner is racist and the food is garbage... please bring all your business Cafe Ole where your actually getting value and business appreciation for your hard earned money!!! read more

We loved this little coffee Such a cute spot! We absolutely loved Café Ole -- the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was great. I had the birria quesadilla and it was so good -- perfectly crispy and full of flavor. We also tried one of their refreshers, which was super refreshing and hit the spot. Loved the chill vibes, good music, and the friendly energy here. Definitely a place I'd come back to next time I'm in Philly! read more

A great place to have a shakshuka! I usually get the regular but apparently the one over hummus is another variation to try according to my man. He usually gets the Moroccan style with the green olives and chicken m. I love the olives. I need to try the tuna sandwich but I keep ending up with the shakshuka when we eat in. The Nutella puff was delicious too. And normally I get a cafe au lait or latte when I'm in the mood read more

We really loved the food and service here. The staff was really friendly and helpful explaining the various options they've got for both food and drinks. They have a lot to choose from. The hummus veggie shakshuka was enormous and quite good. I think two people might be able to split an order, but this time we each ordered our own and walked away with leftovers. Their coffee was delicious and I really enjoyed my latte here. Lots of the other customers came in for coffee and other drinks, including some iced teas with fresh mint that looked quite nice. The restaurant has a cozy, loyal-local type vibe and is definitely worth a return visit, read more

We came to visit Philadelphia and friend of ours recommended that we need to try the shakshuka from cafe olé. We were there about 10 people(with kids) . The gentle men behind the cashier was so welcoming . He didn't mind getting the tables close to each others so we all can fit in . Not mentioning the food was so good. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try a Mediterranean style dish. read more

Lovely coffee shop with a big breakfast and lunch menu! Their spiced chai latte was tasty and creamy. I also ordered a breakfast wrap which comes with egg and cheese and two additional toppings--I did peppers and spinach. It was tasty with fluffy eggs! It was very busy but we were still able to find a table and the cashiers/baristas were fantastic at managing so many people and orders in a somewhat tight space. Its clear why it's popular read more

My coworker and I planned to walk the Benjamin Franklin Bridge nearby and I really had to pee so we stopped here to use the restroom. I wanted to be a good person so I made a purchase to use the restroom. The workers were are rude and rough. I don't think they care for customers. They were rude to other customers, so I'm not special at all. There's a lot of serve yourself, grab it yourself, deal with it yourself over there. They took forever to take my order, but eventually I ordered a small iced Vanilla Latte with OatMilk ($4.50 + 0.75 + 0.75). Get the lid and straw yourself over there. Not shocked. What makes it worse?? THE DRINK WAS AWFUL. Should have just peed and left. Why do I have to go and be a good person. I literally threw the drink away at the bridge entrance so I don't get stuck holding a gross drink. From the other reviews, it sounds like their food is decent, but I can only speak to my awful encounter. read more

Great food, solid service. We enjoyed the hummus. Cute casual place. We will be back for another great lunch.

My friend and I stumbled upon this little gem while meandering the streets of Old City the day after running the Philly Marathon. She's vegan and I'm gluten and dairy free, so stumbling across a place that meets both our dietary restrictions was incredible. Even more incredible was the delicious food. So much so that I came back three weeks later with my daughter and got the same thing. The hummus is out of this world. I just scooped it up with my GF toast and then dipped it into the yolk of the eggs. So, so good. If you aren't super hungry you could definitely share as the portion is enough for two. The dirty chai was perfect. Not too heavy on the espresso and not too sweet. Just right. My daughter was amazed by the tiny glass bottle of Diet Coke. She's a pretty picky eater but she said it was the best avocado toast she'd ever eaten.... Like it was whipped avocado. Absolute perfection. A bustling little joint so I felt pretty lucky to be able to snag seats both times we were there. read more

Super friendly service and great food at this cozy little corner cafe in Old City. We both had French Toast. One gluten free and one regular. It's served with a generous portion of mixed fresh fruit. The drip coffee was excellent- served piping hot in a very large artistic ceramic mug. I can definitely recommend Cafe Olé for breakfast. read more

What a charming spot in the old city. Bright yellow colors and friendly service made Cafe Ole a favourite of during a recent trip. The Chai lattes were incredible! I especially loved the Vanilla Chai and the Spicy Chai. The prices are extremely fair as well! Big portions of delicious food. The brie sandwich and vegetable shaksuka were sooo good. I would make this a regular spot if I lived in town. Grab a table outside and enjoy all the people watching. read more

I can't wait to come back here and next time try their shakshuka! Today I ordered the split pea soup which came with pita bread. It was delicious, creamy, soothing and something I would definitely order again. I also bought a matcha latte with almond milk and it hit the spot. Very well made! This place is busy! Dined inside and people constantly walking in and out to order. Great spot! read more

I have been coming here for YEARS!!!! Sorry to say this but it is extremely UNACCEPTABLE for any cafe this small to NOT have a strong Wi-Fi signal for its customers and tourists. Not acceptable after this meany years of existence at this location. I was forced to use my own Xfinity signal which was "medium" strength as well BUT didn't lose service and didn't require re-connection. Absolutely NOT acceptable. Step it up! I paid my dues to complain and write this review. This is my wife's favorite cafe and SHE's NEVER ever been here (she likes the photos I send). read more

My partner and I came in on a Sunday morning. We ordered right away, got a table, and got our food pretty quickly. We shared the vegetable hummus shakshuka and it was the perfect amount for us. Shakshuka is sometimes too tomato forward (I know, I know) but it had really good flavor and the hummus cuts into the straight tomato flavor so I really enjoyed it. The veggies also gave it added texture and fun. Highly recommend for both shakshuka lovers and those who sometimes enjoy shakshuka! read more

Standard Shakshuka was good but too salty. Liked the egg in it. It came with two sesame rolls and some kind of spread that went well with the shakshuka. Was not bad hours later snacking on it after it has cooled off. read more

This came as a recommendation on an article about spending one day in Philly and I'm so glad it did. I had the vegetable shakshuka and the flavor is unbelievable!! I was taken straight back to Europe with this!! Please try it!! My husband loved his goat cheese omelette and everything else was on point! I had an espresso which was also very comparable to my espresso experience in France. Excellent execution, freshness, and flavor. Food gains 5 stars. Service, ambiance, and cleanliness all gain 5 stars. The facility was clean, staff friendly and helpful but busy for sure, and regardless of the busy it was clean! Great job guys!! I hope you're around for many years to come and thank you to the owners for sharing your culture with us through your food!! It was lovely!! read more

I was in Philly only for a week, and every morning while walking pass Ole, and could not resist the delicious smells from there. I tried their coffee right away( coffee nerd), and it was lovely so I was sure food would be great too, and when A friend of mine advised me that place has good for "breakfast shakshuka" I wanted to try it right away. Loved the Shakshuka Hummus breakfast, size is great for 2 people (huge plate with 3 eggs, lots of hummus, tomatoe paste and little bun) and also enjoyed the Salsa Omlette- it had lovely Brie cheese melted inside, which is bomb is you like cheese at all!side salad also reminded me of Greek food in a way. Waffles were alright, but than again, this place is popular for breakfast things like omlettes or shukas, and waffles are for boring people ... read more

I ordered the baklava here and it was really disappointing. The layers tasted really stale for some reason, and not sure if it was the pastry, oil or butter, but something definitely tasted like it had gone bad. The filling was also far too sweet. I couldn't taste any of the nuttiness I look for in a baklava. Maybe I got a bad batch? On the plus side, each triangle ($3.95) was really large- definitely big enough to share. Unfortunately, neither my friend nor I wanted to finish it. Might be a good place to chill and do some work. I saw quite a few people with their laptops. Probably wouldn't be back for the food again. read more

I came here during a quick trip to Philly and wanted something warm on a cold, rainy day. The Moroccan Shakshuka did not disappoint! The dish was so flavorful and came with fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth freshly-baked bread to eat with the sauce. I also ordered a latte to drink - delicious! The portions were definitely large enough to take home some leftovers. Service was excellent! I recommend arriving earlier in the day or during off-mealtime hours to get a seat indoors. read more

I would like to give this place another try when I can take the time to dine in. We did a quick stop. It was fairly busy and people seemed eager to be there. We got two iced lattes with classic vanilla flavoring. It wasn't anything special for us. But it wasn't bad. We got the egg and cheese croissant. We did like the flavor of the sandwich and the croissant was nice and fresh. read more

This review is a hard one to do. I'll start with all the positives: my husband and I stopped by for breakfast a day we were in the city. We were called in by the fun small coffee shop look. We both ordered lattes and they were truly one if the best lattes we both have ever had. I would definitely recommend Cafe Olé's coffee -- truly worth it. The staff was nice. The issue for us was in the food we ordered. Perhaps we just ordered the wrong things off the menu. Unfortunately the Pesto Omelette was one of the worst things I have ever tried. I don't even know how to explain it but the omelette was leaking of how wet it was, it tasted horrible. The omelette does have tomatoes inside but to me that still does not justify the taste and consistency. It felt like someone who had no idea how to make an omelette decided to try it for the first time and that came out. My husband got a stack of pancakes that were ok at best. Neither of us were able to finish our food because of how it tasted. Not to mention it was also very expensive (especially considering the quality). This definitely makes me sad because we wanted to find another wonderful breakfast place to eat in the city but this one was not it. Again, if we were walking by again we would definitely step in for their coffee. read more

Cafe Ole is still going strong. Coffee is good. They have traditional coffee and some silly sweet stuff like nutella lattes if you're feeling decadent. They have some very good Israeli/Middle Eastern food, like shakshuka and hummus. The breakfast sandwiches are good--I enjoyed the pressed egg-and-cheese sandwich on a croissant. Sidewalk seating is nice, and there's a comfortable, neighborhood feeling to the place. Lots of local regulars. read more
