I was disappointed in the chicken salad sandwich. Big dry pieces of chicken. Took a lot of chewing get through it. Stopped at eating half to let the waitress know i was not happy. Would not accept my request for a bowl of soup (or any other accommodation) to remedy the situation. If I ate one bite would have they found a substitute? Seems like they could have tried harder. I am a frequent customer. read more

First time here today, and EVERYTHING I ordered was delicious!!!! The Mushroom Risotto Cake, the tuna fish sandwich, the chocolate mousse tart and the Rice Krispie square I'm eating now. read more

We were staying in the area and discovered Cake on our first morning. Great food, excellent bakery and gorgeous atmosphere. We also ordered a cake from the bakery and sampled several other baked goods. We loved it so much that we went back for brunch on our final day before heading out. read more

My friend and I had reservations for breakfast, and it would have been a great experience had the waitress not ask us to leave after an hour and a half. We had our meal and then coffees afterwards, talking and catching up, when the waitress came to us (two black women)and asked us to leave (because there were customers waiting to be seated)...there was no "seating limit" policy posted anywhere. Not to mention there was a group who were seated BEFORE us, who were not asked to leave (a group of white people)...I was very humiliated and I will not be returning. read more

The best breakfast. Just loved this place. It used to be the greenhouse for flower shops in Chestnut Hill. So cute.

Great place for lunch. Great menu, lots of interesting selections. Lovely ambiance. Parking can be difficult.

Great place, great staff!. it's a fixture of the community. Good people. Good location.

Delicious and fresh breakfast offerings. Friendly and engaging waitstaff. Love the converted greenhouse. Quaint and cozy.

One of my favorite spots for brunch or bakery sweets! I love the coffee cake. It gets crowded on weekends.

Beautiful space and the best cob salad I have ever eaten. And the desserts... save room!!

Fantastic! Brunch is excellent! Staff is courteous. Clean and beautiful. Cake is perfect for a small group brunch outing. Does not take reservations for brunch hours. Garden frittata: 3 stars Homefries: 4 stars French toast: 4 stars Beet & arugula salad: 4 stars Breakfast burrito (surprisingly without meat): 5 stars Boston creme cupcake: 4 stars Chocolate with chocolate frosting cupcake: 3.5 stars Ambience: 5 stars; I love the greenhouse! I am a huge fan of this place and hear their cakes are unbelievable. I will definitely be coming back to try more desserts!! read more

Cozy little spot just feet off the Avenue in Chestnut Hill. Took me six months to get over here and try it, but I'm glad I finally did. The ambiance here is incredible and perfect for this style of restaurant/cafe. The greenhouse obviously gives you the outdoor feel which is amazing during those spring and fall months when it's gorgeous out, but might still be on the chilly side. Just so relaxing. We went for breakfast and I will certainly be doing that again. I got the basics: bacon, eggs, hash browns & toast. Everything was delicious. Even the toast was note worthy because if I'm not mistaken, its from Baker's Street Bread. Love seeing local places supporting each other! Not only was my meal very tasty, but all the food I saw being served around me looked amazing. I will be getting the french toast next time. Also got some baked goods on the way out. Fruit tart and S'mores tart were both really really good. The menu was on the small side, but when everything is so good, you don't need that many options. It just takes up your time with having to read everything. I'd love to try this place at night for dinner. Can't wait to go back! read more

Food, service, & ambiance is on point. Definitely bring your friends & family here for a modern take on traditional breakfast. Just be aware that there will be a wait any time after 10am. read more

While this establishment has been here for many years this was our first visit to the quaint and beautifully lit restaurant housed in the old greenhouse of Robertson's Florist. From the minute you enter you are taken with the abundant natural light and fauna laden brick walls making the decor breathtaking. The service is very attentive and friendly and the menu offerings were original variations of classic standard lunch fare leading to quite flavorful bites. I would highly recommend this spot for either a relaxing quiet lunch with someone special or a fun spot for a brunch outing with friends. read more

Cake is a fantastic breakfast or brunch location. The decor is fantastic since its located in a greenhouse. There are a host of delicious looking baked goods that I'm sure are fantastic. I've been pleased with my meal each time I went. The service has been friendly and the coffee hot. I think a slightly expanded menu would do some good here. Also, the prices are just a touch on the expensive side. read more

I have been to cake in the past, but I had the opportunity to take my Mom who was visiting for the Easter Holiday. We stopped in for a wonderful afternoon lunch. My ordered the Salmon Plate with a cup of mushroom soup. I decided to go with the fish special - we made good choices. The decor, the friendly wait staff and the tasty food make this place one good experience after another. If you are in the area - give it a try. read more

5 star brunch spot as long as you are aware of what you are getting yourself into. 1. Be prepared to wait 30-45 minutes depending on the time you go. It's worth the wait though. 2. It's BYOB, so if you choose to indulge, don't forget to stop at wine and spirits on the way in. Food is great! Staff is cool. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommend this to my friends and family. read more

Had a wonderful brunch on a recent Saturday morning. Decor and space were stunning. Great Saturday vibes. Servers were prompt and super friendly. Food was fresh, and came out so quickly. After reading other reviews about the potential wait and crowded nature we were thrilled to be seated right away and served so quickly. We'll be back! read more

This place is excellent! I went for lunch on a weeekday around noon, but the wait as already 30 minutes for two. I suggest going a bit earlier to ensure you have a table if your pressed for time. I got the Lemon Grilled Chicken Cobb salad, and it was amazing!! Generous portion and quality ingredients. Service was attentive, even for a busy lunch crowd, and I was really impressed by the refreshing and healthy menu. The only thing I wish was diffrent is the decor. The outside is so whimsical and airy, and I found the furnishings inside a little uninspiring and dissonent when compared to the impressive greenhouse exterior. We will definitely be back for more! read more

We came to cake on a Friday afternoon for a lunch celebration after my Mba graduation. We were pleased to find that the wait was not long, as I have been a culprit of trying to get in here in the past on weekend mornings when the wait was to long for us. Our party of 4 brought a bottle of wine and each ordered different menu items. All the items were fresh and were reportedly tasty. I ordered the smoked salmon Blt which was superb. We also ordered desserts to go, the blueberry peach crumble tart was good, and the peanut butter was pie amazing yet the chocolate pecan pie tasted as if it was burnt. Overall the menu was very reasonably priced, the service was slow yet at a byob this can be a good thing to not be rushed . Just be prepared for a wait if u go during high hours. Tip you can leave ur number and the front desk can call you when they are ready. read more

Cake is one of the best brunch spots in C Hill, BYOB, simple menu and awesome ambiance. It used to be a flower shop or nursery, I don't know what to call it but it makes for a really airy, open, space (due to this I recommend always having a sweater I'm always cold in there until the champagne kicks in ‍). The service is great and if there is a wait for a table just put your name in and go walking around Germantown Ave! read more

Cake is an adorable restaurant in a former greenhouse. There's a fountain in the middle of the restaurant. The ambiance was perfect! Lunch was amazing. We started with the vegetarian butternut squash soup. It was flavorful and perfect for a dreary day! The chicken salad on whole grain bread was also delicious! The chicken salad had chunks of chicken with just the right amount of mayo. It came with a side salad. The lettuce was fresh and flavorful. My niece had the mushroom risotto cake which was also delicious. The desserts are sublime! It was hard to choose but we settled on cupcakes and the chocolate bourbon pecan tart. The cupcakes were sooo good! The cake was light but very chocolaty. The icing had a whipped cream like texture. The tart was soooo good. It was almost like a brownie but not as dense. I would go back just for this! The waitstaff were professional and super nice! read more

I want to respond to a previous post about not being able to get a seat for brunch past 2 p.m. In fairness, the restaurant really is just that popular. The place opens for brunch on Sundays at 10 a.m. Here's what you need to know. It could be a driving rain. It could be cold and flurrying. The line to get in starts around 9:30. By the time they open, the line is often quite long. I've often seen people at the end of the line not be able to get a table. There are only so many tables--and it's not a small place, so there are a lot of tables. The food really is that good. Another tip: If you don't feel like standing in line, Campbell's Pub, right down the street at 8337 Germantown Avenue, opens for brunch at 11. Campbell's doesn't usually draw a massive crowd that early, and the food is excellent. Their breakfast potatoes are great. read more

First time here after years of saying I will goo...I finally went. I don't know why I expected a wait but luckily we didn't have to wait. Love the inside of this place. I had the cajun wrap (I think). It was very delicious. Friend got a smoked salmon salad (off menu item). We both loved it. I def would recommend and also return to try other menu items. Only downer was the cupcake my friend ordered was 1) cold and 2) dry read more

Today I went to Cake with one of my gfs! This place was on our list for places to try! And we are so glad we came! We didn't have reservations and got there around 12. We were told the wait would be 30-40 mins. I gave them my number and they told me they would call when a seat is ready. We went around the corner to Starbucks until then. We were seated near the window and it's very nice. It's in what was a Greenhouse! We both ordered the same thing which was the Breakfast Plate. We had a nice waitress and the food came out good and hot! We will def be back again!! read more

Cake - Breakfast Plate - Bakeries Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Great place to eat at while shopping in Chestnut Hill. Every time I travel from Delaware I eat there.

Two things: The balsamic portobello mushroom with farro, mozzarella, and assorted vegetables was amazing. I wish I could remember the exact name of the dish! It was so good, I only ate half so that I could eat the remainder the next day. The mushrooms were bursting with tangy, balsamic flavor that mingled so nicely with the meaty texture of the portobellos. The lemon tart is the best version of a citrus dessert that I have ever had. I really hate lemon things that are overly sweet. I also hate when they are mussed up by fruit or other adornments. The citron dessert features smooth, pucker-worthy lemon custard over the thinnest of chocolate-y layers, couched in a light, crumby shell. Heaven! Dinner is only served Thursday and Friday. Make a reservation to be guaranteed a seat. Last seating is 8:30p. Go early to avoid missing out on certain menu selections. The trout was very popular the night I stopped in and was 86ed fairly fast. I thought the prices were very fair considering the restaurants use of fresh, local, organic ingredients. The menu appears to make great use of seasonal variety and I imagine we'll be seeing some creative squash dishes soon. The greenhouse setting is very charming and makes for a relaxed, yet intimate venue suitable for date night or brunch with the family. read more

There's always a line before the doors open at 10am for Sunday brunch. A converted greenhouse to a bright and lively restaurant. This place, again, has been a place I've been meaning to visit. Huh, it seems like I've been meaning to visit a lot of places. Well I'm finally doing it! I would drive by this place on my way into the city while trying to avoid the horrible 76 traffic. Ordered: started with a decadently warmed chocolate croissant. It was perfect with their house coffee. My fiancé ordered the breakfast burrito, we thought it was a bit bland. It was missing something to help with the texture. I ordered the Eggs Madame which was "two poached eggs with honey ham & melted swiss cheese atop a half croissant with saffron hollandaise sauce and home fries". The dish was good. Their home fries were made to my liking, nicely season and crispy. Service: the ladies here were very nice and greeted us immediately. They always filled our water and coffee. Overall: come and experience the atmosphere and the cute town of Chestnut Hill. read more

The ambiance to this place was great. I think it may have been a greenhouse or atrium at one time. It was bright, warm and had a neighborhood vibe. We started with the Belgian waffle, which my boyfriend and I both agreed it was the best waffle we ever had... light, fluffy, buttery and in NO need of syrup. The homemade creamy peach butter just brought it to TOP notch. Omg. $12 is a bit pricey for batter on a plate, but it was worth it. I had the crabby eggs something ... I can't recall the exact name. The crab cakes were mouth watering, and were served with poached eggs and saffron hollandaise sauce. The crab cakes were slightly crispy on the outside but soft and full of crab on the inside. I was extremely impressed. My boyfriend had the (chargrilled!) Ribeye steak and eggs. He said the steak was soft and flavorful. Now, my pics don't look that great. I think it's because the actual plates they served the meal on were big, so all looks like small servings. I also got a birthday cake. Yes, an entire cake just for me, lol, compliments of my other half. I think the outside was butter cream. It was three layers of vanilla cake with dark chocolate ganache, if I had to guess. The vanilla cake was a kind of hard for me, and the chocolate was very rich. Perhaps a bit too indulgent to eat more than a very small slice. read more

Cake was the perfect place for our engagement-party-turned-surprise wedding! When my husband and I decided to get married, we knew we wanted to do something a little off-the-beaten-path that would allow us to celebrate our marriage with our friends and family without getting sucked into the hoopla of a traditional wedding. Cake provided the perfect venue to host this event, and we couldn't have been more pleased with the level of service leading up to and the night of the event - not to mention the food! The planning of our event was made so easy by Gray, who was friendly, enthusiastic, and so helpful in walking us through not only the menu and menu selections but also the flow of the event and how her staff would be able to help us pull off the surprise. As a venue, Cake, a converted greenhouse, is beautiful on its own - and this made it all the easier to plan and host an event there, as it meant that we didn't need to focus on decorations. We chose to bring a few decorations, including a few DIY flower arrangements and some items for a gift/favor/guest book table, all of which were just finishing touches on the already beautiful space. We were able to provide final numbers and menu selections a week prior to the event, which gave us a lot of flexibility in finalizing the guest list, and were able to drop off all alcohol (beer and wine) and decorations the day before the party, which allowed us to relax on the day of while the staff at Cake set everything up for us. From the minute we arrived to the end of the party, Gray and her staff were so attentive, refreshing the food and beverages seamlessly. They were also particularly attentive to how we were planning to announce our surprise wedding. In the planning stage, we had agreed upon a plan in which a specific song would begin to play at a specific time, my husband and I would make an announcement, and the staff would start handing out glasses of sparkling wine; on the day of the party, this had to be delayed for various reasons, and Gray came to find me to ensure that she and her staff were on the same page and would be able to help us in the way that we wanted. About the food - all of the dishes, from the passed appetizers to the buffet, were delicious and lovely and more than enough food for our guests, even though we didn't offer a main entree. In fact, we had so much food that the staff at Cake boxed up our leftovers, which we were able to nosh on for a few days after the wedding! We were particularly thankful for this, as we hadn't been able to partake in as much of the food as we would've liked during the wedding, like any bride and groom. :) All in all, Cake helped us pull off exactly the wedding we had envisioned, and we are so grateful to them! read more

Mom and I were allured by the gutted greenhouse and stayed for the food. We didn't get a chance to taste anything from the bakery but we had brunch (shared a chicken salad sandwich and homefries).
