Retna S.

Solid five stars for customer service. This place isn't very easy to find. I walked along 18 street and Market Street and couldn't find it. I called the store to give me directions, and was answered right away. You need to enter through the black gate. They put a couple of signs by the gate. The girl came out from the store as we were talking on the phone to make sure that I could find it. What a service. The store is in the middle of the walkway, you will notice the outdoor tables and chairs. The two ladies there are super friendly. The desserts are neatly displayed in glass cases. Looks very inviting. I got the coffee mousse, midnight blossoms with raspberry filling, and the mango cheesecake. All of them are enjoyable and not overly sweet. My favorite is the mango cheesecake because it has a thin mango jelly that taste like a slice of mango.

Passion fruit mousse

Location was a bit hard to find when using google maps and had to circle the block in order to locate the entrance. The server was sweet and was very nice in letting us know when the store was closing. Place was clean, and lots of indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the peach oolong tea and passion fruit mousse. The tea was really good and not super sweet which I appreciated. The mouse had great passion fruit flavor and not overly sweet - the only negative is the circular cookie ring. It didn't have much flavor and was soggy. Will comeback to try other desserts and drinks!

I got a banana latte and the passion fruit mousse cake. Both are really good and I'm very happy with them. The inside is incredibly cute and cozy- I stopped in on my lunch break and I regret not bringing my book with me so I could have eaten there instead of back in my cubicle. The person working was very friendly and happy to recommend things to me. I will definitely be back. It's not hard to find- if you're standing on Market street facing 1735 Market Street Building, you'll see a side alley/corridor thing to your left that has a black gate at the entrance. Go down there and you'll see the storefront. There were tables and umbrellas outside too. I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to find it

Outside!

Tucked away in the middle of the block, this cafe could be easy to miss, but I'd definitely make sure to give this place a visit. This is their 3rd location, and I can't speak about the other ones, but this center city installment is a great addition to the area. Walking inside, you are greeted with such warm vibes and the delectable display of all those vibrant pastries. Besides those sweets, they also serve decent coffee and food as well. I've tried my hand at a couple of their entrees and I definitely recommend the sous vide beef kimchi rice bowl. It is definitely refreshing to feel the asian influence sprinkled throughout the menu. There's a good amount of seating inside, and there's some outside as well. I do like how the entrance doesn't face the street, so it isn't as distracting. It definitely makes the place feel more cozy. I'll definitely be back to check out more of the menu and get some work done.

Caramel macchiato and plain croissant
Carmen M.

Pastries look like what you would see in a magazine! We went for a big plain croissant! My favorite pastry but this was huge and flaky. They heated up! Wow!! So good when it's warm! Friendly, very clean!! Outside sitting too. Little chilly to sit outside maybe next time. I fell in love with the big windows! I had a caramel macchiato got me going, ready for my day! Prices were similar to our coffee places in the Fishtown area. Thank you Cake & Joe for getting my day moving! They do have other flavor croissants. Differently have to try a different flavor.

Oreo Mousse
Casey P.

Delightful! I had the tortellini dumpling soup and the oreo mousse. Both were so delicious. Staff were great and the service was quick. It was not crowded at lunch time and the outside courtyard was quiet and secluded.

Came here for a slice of cake. I got the chocolate mousse. The bottom didn't really stick to the rest of the cake but it was a good cake slice either way. They have some seating inside and outside and some food options as well. I want to try the one with coffee cause it looks like the closest to an opera cake.

Loved the variety of beautiful little cakes - I got the midnight blossom and it was delightful - very flavorful, soft and delicious. I got a pistachio latte with oat milk too which was fine. I'd definitely go back to try more pastries. There was ample seating inside and outside but I got mine to go - they packaged it in a nice sturdy box.

who moved my cheese, caphe roasters mousse, avocado toast
Alice L.

so so happy that this opened in center city! i absolutely love an asian-style cafe, and this spot did not disappoint. it's a little hard to find in the 1735 market, but such a cute gem. it wasn't too busy monday morning, and has a decent amount of seating for studying/working. i got the cheddar mousse cake and my boyfriend got the caphe roasters mousse. i really enjoyed the cheddar mousse cake, it was lightly and cheesy! neither of us particularly enjoyed the caphe roasters mousse unfortunately. the texture was a little pasty, and my boyfriend complained that the coffee flavor was not potent enough. i also ordered the avocado toast which was delicious! i enjoyed the thick cut toast with creamy avocado, and i absolutely love a jammy egg. their drinks are unique and tasty as well! i liked my strawberry matcha -- it was a little sweet but the matcha was good quality. my boyfriend said that the hazelnut flavor of his latte was subtle, which he enjoyed. overall, absolutely can't wait to visit again!

I've only ever ordered takeout from here, but it's been EXCELLENT every time. The kale caesar…read morecutlet is a sandwich I dream of and crave every time I'm away from Philly. The bread is fresh, Caesar dressing is incredibly creamy, and the cutlet is just perfectly crispy and juicy. The order always comes out on time. Even when the shop is bustling with the lunch rush. I'm very impressed with this small space and the volume they're able to churn out.

I came here hearing some decent things about this place. Wow. Exceeded my expectations…read more Cutlets were nice and crisp on both. The bread was a fantastic choice. Not tough but a nice, soft seeded sub roll. Seeing it arrive was a little overwhelming but I kinda thought the thing was light and was easy to finish off 1/2. The Fig and Pig - the fig jam was outstanding. Great sweetness with the saltiness from the prosciutto and then to top it off, the crunch of the cutlets. Excellent. As I was leaving, I saw a cutlet, with mutz, broccoli rabe, and roasted red peppers. I WILL be back for that. That looked amazing. Service was very friendly, prompt. We sat down and within a few minutes, our sandwiches came out. Looks like they were working on takeout / delivery orders and I thought, oh crap, am i behind all of that. But I guess they were either done or they prioritize the tables. Place was small but at 2:30 or so, it had a couple of tables open. They had tables outside but a little warm and in the sun for that. Well done, Liberty Kitchen!

Great quality crafted creative sandwiches. The absolute best is their cheesesteak. You will wake up…read morecraving another one. House made, superior lightly truffles cheese sauce is what whiz wishes it was. Very rich. You may want to share. Fries are $7 but large portion -- also share. Live that they have great quality beverages to match great sandwiches. That is, Maine Root sodas (LOVE the Sasparilla) or Joe's iced tea. (I like black, unsweetened to balance the richness of the sandwich.) Cozy but comfy seating with raw real wood banquets and tables. Even when crowded, a table will come available by the time your order is ready. Good turn over. Pleasant, helpful staff. Order from the back, pay, seat yourself, and they'll call you up or deliver to your table.

There's not a whole lot of space, and you probably won't be able to bring a large party in here more 4-6 people. But if you're dining in in a smaller group, you should have a good time. They keep things relatively clean. I personally lean on the cheesesteak purist side of the scale, and so although this cheesesteak tastes pretty darn good, I am of the opinion that most things that you slap truffle on will instantly be above average good, just because it tastes like truffle. Otherwise, the cheesesteak here is pretty close to slightly above average-- and personally I'd spend my money elsewhere if it weren't for the novelty. Otherwise, the roast pork here is underrated and overshadowed by its truffle cousin. Grab that if you get overpowered by truffle flavor easily. To-go orders have been consistently on time and ready once I arrived. Would gladly order here again, but would definitely prefer something pure, ex. without truffle.

The only place I can compare it to is the former Wolfie's on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. It…read moreserved a large Jewish community very well until it closed back in 2002. But, I must tell you... Hershel's Corned Beef Reuben was way better than any sandwich I ever had there. The cut of meat is thicker and the portion sizes are huge. My husband thinks he heard the guy say it was three-quarters of a pound of corned beef. I believe it because it definitely felt like there was at least 6 ounces on my half of the sandwich. I'm glad we decided to split it. It was totally worth the price that we paid for it. We arrived around 4:00 pm on a Thursday. It was busy at the market, but not as busy as it was on Saturday. We were tossed between the Reuben and the Rachel. The difference is that the Rachel has cole slaw instead of sauerkraut. I don't think you can go wrong either way. It didn't take long for the order to be ready. The service was great. They split the sandwiches and wrapped them individually. We each got a pickle spear. We didn't have to go too far to find seats. They have bar seating along the back counter that's specifically for their customers. The Reuben was very tasty. I even liked the pickle. I think they have desserts, but we had no room for it. I'd love to return one day to try their pastrami, and maybe even the breakfast. I wish we would have had more time to try one of these sandwiches on Challah bread. The menu has a little something for anyone craving a Jewish style deli experience. It's worth a visit when at Reading Terminal Market.

Corned beef on rye- Potato knish…read moreCorned beef was tender and tasty- seeded rye was old and couldn't hold up to the meat without tearing.

I recently had a couple of great lunches here. I found parking along Wolf Street with no problem…read more The inside was clean and the staff was friendly. They serve you fresh waster (Drinks to order include Hanks, Boylan's, Harney and Sons, Teas etc.) and will serve you at the table or you can walk up and order at the counter. Their menu has a great mix of deli, steak, "chicken" steak, meatball, sausage and cutlet sandwiches with interesting flavor combos. You can also get breakfast (till 11AM) or a salad. They also have sides that include - tots, fried pickle chips, onion rings, fries, fried mozzarella and Zayda's pickle spears, chips and cherry pepper shooters. They have a couple of vegan options and GF rolls for extra $$. The staff was more than happy to give recommendations and their favs. My first lunch was The Eye - $15 Ribeye steak, Cooper Sharp American, fried onions came on a seeded Liscio's roll. If you enjoy the somewhat newer Cooper sharp style that's out there you'll like theirs. The Cooper sharp was gooey, mixed in well with the meat and on the heavier side. The ribeye was thin cut, delicious and the portion was pretty hefty. Second visit I went with - The Nad - $15 Chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, Mike's Hot Honey that came on an unseeded Liscio's roll. The portion size was good, chicken was fresh with good breading, the hot honey was a tad on the heavy side, but the flavors all came together pretty good on this one. Sweet, salty, light bitterness from the arugula and some heat from the hot honey. I added Thin Cut Idaho fries to make it a combo for $3 extra and I have to say they were delicious. They smelled like McD's and tasted similar. They are cash only, but have an ATM on site. You can use a card if you order online. The one bathroom they have was pretty clean and organized. I will certainly stop back for a visit if I'm in the area to try out more of their menu. Thanks guys!

I placed an order online for pickup from Nipotina. I ordered The Eye(Ribeye steak, Cooper Sharp…read moreAmerican, fried onions, salt, pepper, ketchup, and mayo) for $15. This was one of the best cheesesteaks that I have had in awhile. I was pleasantly surprised and will order from here again.
