The cafe is clean, bright, and well-maintained. You can order with one of the friendly employees at the counter or through a touch-screen. There's plenty of seating at both a counter and inside and outside tables. I ordered an iced Nutella latte and the Dubai Chocolate Waffle. My order was ready quickly, and the waffle looked both pretty and delicious on the plate. And it tasted just as good as it looked! The waffle was cooked perfectly, and there was a generous amount of the toppings, so you got all the flavors in each bite. The Nutella latte also tasted great, and had an extra swirl of Nutella inside the cup. I'll definitely be back again to try more of their menu items!

Croissants, almond and ham & cheese options, morning buns, cookies, and a blueberry jam beignet were all calling my name. There's also a small food menu with breakfast sandwiches and a smashed chickpea salad, plus bags of beans and merch if you want to take some home. Relaxed vibe, thoughtful coffee, great pastries. I'd happily come back.

The sandwiches were tasty, although the bread was a bit too crispy. I usually love crispy bread, but this was very, very crispy and slightly overdone for my preference. The biggest disappointment was the egg -- it had that pre-made/frozen egg texture and appearance, which I didn't expect from this type of establishment. Overall, I'd still return for the coffee and the cute atmosphere.

It appears one server was taking care of the whole restaurant. He was quick and really helpful, but the service was quite slow. Atmosphere- 3/5 This is a classic café kind of feel.

So glad we decided to come back after our lunch. The ice cream was some of the best we've ever had and the staff were super friendly. We sampled three different kinds and decided to get 2 scoops of honeycomb and 1 scoop of corn. Yes, corn does sound weird for ice cream but it was an interesting choice. While I wouldn't get just the corn ice cream, it paired well with the honeycomb. There were chewy pieces of corn in the ice cream which was a fun treat. The real star was the honeycomb ice cream though. Just wow! You have to get this. I promise you won't regret it. It was a nice day and we opted to sit outside the shop on a bench and eat our ice cream. This was a wonderful ending to our day in Philly.
