This is a brand new cafe in Havertown, in the site of the old Giampino's Italian restaurant. My husband and I tried it this morning. We both have a thing for benedicts, so I ordered the country benedict (comes with a sausage patty instead of Canadian Bacon), my husband ordered a traditional benedict and a side of one pancake. The benedicts came with a choice of hashbrowns or grits. We both got hashbrowns.
I would say the food was good, but didn't stand out above existing breakfast & lunch restaurants in the area. It was obvious that the Hollandaise sauce was canned or something - not made fresh. I wasn't hugely fond of the country benedict with the sausage, but there wasn't anything wrong with it - it was just me hoping for a slightly sweeter breakfast sausage for the flavor profile (this is not a reflection on the restaurant, just that I realized after I tasted it that it wasn't as good a combo as the Canadian bacon was). The hashbrowns were fine - unseasoned and probably previously frozen. We seasoned them, and I always eat them with ketchup so they were fine that way. The pancake was very good.
The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice - very clean, nice looking decor - other than the cheap plastic American flag with crease lines still in it taking up an entire wall. Don't come for me about the flag. I can be patriotic too (at times when it's warrented), but I think it's weird that in America we hang flags everywhere all the time - most other countries don't do that. If it were a mural or a nice quality flag, or even steamed to get the folding creases out of it, that would have been better, but not really my thing regardless.
The service was good and the food came out quickly - accuracy was good and prices were similar to other places in the area.
We will potentially go back, but I do think when there are so many local places that are making good food and sauces from scratch I won't be running back. read more
