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.
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!
Super adorable spot here in the city! We stopped by for a quick bite and the service was so kind and fast. We loved the decor and lively interior. Soup was also incredible!! We will definitely be back, thank you very much :)!!
Pretty decent breakfast spot. The pancakes were good, the bagel was decent (didn't taste fresh baked though), and I was happy to see they offered fruit to go along with all of the heavy breakfast foods.
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!
Quick service- we got the mediterranean platter and a chicken salad platter. Both were really yummy and fresh! Very kind employee and clean shop. It was poppin!
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!!!
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
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,
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.
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.
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
Fast & friendly service! I got a matcha latte and a savory spinach popover, both quite nice. Chill vibe. Evidently their shakshouka is a specialty, and judging from the stolen glances at my neighbors plate, it would be worth coming back for.
Stopped by for lunch and the Cafe is very nice with ample seating. Tons of menu options so everyone will find something good. The barista was super friendly and nice and was very efficient. Also our order was brought to our table which was very nice. The food was delicious I would definitely recommend any of the shakshukas the Moroccan one was incredible. Good coffee and tea as well. read more
Of all the breakfast places I've been to, this one stands apart. A menu dedicated largely to shakshuka? With servings big enough to feed 3 people? I couldn't have dreamt up a better concept. The food might take a while to come out during busier times but it's well worth the wait. read more

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

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

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

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
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

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

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 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 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 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
Nice cafe in Old City, good for working as they have free wifi and it is not too loud besides the lunch rush. I had an apple brie sandwich which came out toasted. The sandwich was a good blend of sweet and crunchy from the apples and cheesy from the brie. read more
