Small and cute little breakfast place. Super cute and everything was tasty! Everyone was very nice that worked there.
This restaurant is very deceiving in a good way. It's a very small space with barely any seating but with a pleasant vibe. The staff were friendly enough. We were seated immediately and literally had to squeeze into our table (no leg or elbow room). They added a chair to the end of the table to accommodate our party of 5. We were debating whether or not we had made a good choice until our food came out (it was a longer wait than expected). The portions are very generous (each plate could easily serve two people) and beautifully decorated. We all enjoyed every bite of food on our plates. Everything was freshly made and delicious. We were happy we stuck around and waited. So if you have time, don't mind small spaces and want some delicious food, I recommend you stop by.
The plan this week was to go to breakfast/brunch two different days, and I am so happy that we happened to start that adventure with a trip to Izzy's 33. The choice to go here was made due to the fact we have an engagement in South Philly. However, Jen simply pulled up a list of places in the area and picked here. After looking at the menu though, we knew we had likely locked in on a perfect place. Not only is the menu extremely extensive, but it also has an almost unending plethora of Mexican and Central American inspired brunch choices that had me trying to make selections two nights before we were even going to go. After stopping nearby at the place we needed to attend first, we leisurely made our way to the 1700 block of ninth street, and were amazed to find parking right in front. From years of working in the area and dealing with parking and driving here, finding a space with absolutely zero issue right off the bat was already a recipe for success and obviously just a sign of the boon to come. The little cafe is tucked away into what appears to at one point, likely many years ago, to have been a classic center row home. It's not an end property, and despite the space inside being quite roomy for what it is, it's a narrow corridor with the seating up front, prep and serving area in the center, and kitchen in the rear. Very cute, and everything inside has this older wooden feel to it, as if plucked from an old bookstore. We only had the opportunity to converse with one staff member, our server; she was not only wonderful, upbeat, and friendly, but also helpful, guiding us to a nearby location to get banana leaves for tamales I planned to make later in the week. That's just the beginning because I haven't even gotten to the food. This was one of the best breakfasts I have had in a very long time. The Huevos Enmolados was so outstanding, not only did I finish the perfectly build stack of tostadas with all the ingredients stacked deliciously on top, but also asked for a small bowl of tortilla chips to scoop up the remaining mole that had become its own unique sauce amalgamation with the runny eggs and cheese and other flavors. I cannot overstate how wonderful this was. If I could have physically stomached a second meal, I would have ordered a complete second portion and eaten that too. Jen's carnitas skillet was also outstanding, although I only had a taste. We also had a side of scrapple which was delivered perfectly crisp and molten inside, steaming hot like forbidden meat-lava. Even the local classics are done perfectly here. Not only is Izzy's 33 worth visiting if you live in the city, if you are in the area at all, this place warrants a trip for breakfast or brunch. It is a premiere experience at a reasonable price especially for the city. I am sure there may be places that have a different selection, or may be preferable to some people, but for everything they offer, I don't think they can be beat; at least not easily. Do yourself a favor and get in here today and enjoy some of their unique offerings. I can guarantee that you'll enjoy.
This was a totally unexpected surprise and I'm so happy we finally made our way to Izzy's! We have talked about coming here for months and I just kept cancelling at the last second to go somewhere I knew I liked, but this was a well worth trip! We came for Sunday breakfast and went with the Bandeja Mexicana and the huevos mexicana, both were delicious! I was sad when we got there that the huevos mexicana were no longer on the menu, but was so thankful that they made them for me! The menu does update every so often and check the specials on the wall out, we didn't notice them till after we ordered. The service was timely. The ambiance is a little odd with the early 2000's top hits playing and there is not much decor inside, but the food was well-worth the trip! I look forward to returning again soon!
This place is super cute, and the food is excellent! Must try would have to be one of their loaded French toasts. It might look heavy, but it's actually light and filled with flavor! The presentation of the food is also really nice!
We visited our son recently in Philly where we always enjoy the restaurant scene. He has been raving about this new breakfast spot a short walk from his apartment so we made sure to pay a visit. He did not over sell it! All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. They have two "sections" to the menu, sweet and savory. I went for the latter and being a huge Mexican food fan, that's what I did pictured below. One of the single best breakfast items ever!
We have discovered their tres leches iced coffee, which is basically a caffeinated milkshake (in a good way). Additionally, we've become fatties and order 2 savory meals to split and also something sweet. All this for like $35 a person, which for a brunch in the city, isn't bad! Be prepared to wait a little if you have a party any bigger than 2, but it's worth it. I also just learned they have a private event space for up to 25 people!
Ordered on DoorDash. Packaging was not the best - paper containers did not have option for tight seal which meant some of French toast contents leaked in the bag/on other container. Food was yummy and would love to go back in-person.
What a hidden gem! I wish I discovered this place sooner! Amazing"homemade" food, clean space, and very friendly service. Menu is very rich of anything you could possibly want. Kids menu too. What a great spot! I cannot wait to come back!
This place has to be one of the best and underrated breakfast spots in philly. The iced coffees taste better than your local starbucks. You can come here for traditional american foods as well as mexican breakfast. Both are pretty damn good. It hasnt gotten that busy on weekends yet but I'm pretty sure word will get out and there will be a line at brunch.
If u like French toast this is the place to go! The brioche bread they use is everything! It's BYOB so my friends and I brought a bottle of Prosecco. The inside dining is limited and small but other than that this place is a gem
I was looking to try a different restaurant for breakfast and was intrigued by Izzy's 33 menu. I arrived and was seated immediately. This location is small but super cute. I ordered coffee and HUEVOS A LA MEXICANA (Scrambled eggs with Sautéed onions, jalapenos and tomato served with pinto beans, queso fresco tortilla chips and avocado). So good! I will definitely be back and I want to try something from the crepe menu! I knew I would love Izzy's because patrons waited outside for seats to become available.
Fantastic hole on the wall. Definitely coming back when I'm the area. Food was full of flavor. My sandwich tasted fresh and the bacon was tasty Great service, the young lady (our server) helping us was attentive and very helpful. Restaurant was calm and clean. I also enjoyed their music, they played new edition and safe! Would recommend if you're looking for hearty and well-made breakfast. read more
So this review is a bit varied but bear with me. This place has pretty great hospitality. In fact, I would actually say if I couldn't see the back of house so easily I would say it's impeccable but because I could see, everything it didn't leave much for the imagination. HOWEVER when in front of house they were receptive, kind and intentional. On the other hand their food was just okay. Again HOWEVER, I loved the drinks. They said that they use fresh juice for everything and you could tell. I got lemonade that actually tasted like lemons and the fruit blended with it. We got fresh squeezed orange juice and the coffee was also pretty good. I would come back maybe not soon. read more
We came here with my bestie and her partner for a byo brunch. We initially settled for this place because the location she originally wanted to check out was permanently closed. This was a perfect little place for brunch, a balanced crowd looking for great hearty breakfast options. It is a quaint location, and friendly servers. The food was plentiful and filling. read more

This small BYOB restaurant is near the corner of 9 and Morris. My husband and I got here around noon and it was crowded. The dining room is small but not too overcrowded. They put cushions to sit people by the window. I like the red wall with gold accent on the ceiling trim and bathroom door because it gives a fancy look. The restaurant is nicely decorated with a small pot of plant on each table. We were served right away. On the menu they make crepes after 4 PM. There's a special menu on the blackboard. The menu has regular breakfast items and also some Mexican dishes such as chilaquiles and enchilada My husband ordered breakfast burger, which I never encountered before. It had burger patty with hash brown, egg, and bacon. He enjoyed it very much. He selected a bowl of fruit as side. The fruit bowl is bigger than those that are usually served in diners. Meanwhile, I ordered special item: crab meat omelette. My waitress asked what side I would like. The choices are salad, fruit, or home fries. I opted for the salad. When I got the food, it came with 2 slices of toasted white bread. I wished they offered wheat. They were generous with the size of the salad and the amount of crab meat. Unfortunately, my omelette was very salty. I understand that crab meat is salty but I felt like it was brined in salt. It's very rare to find me not finishing my food. This time I couldn't finish it because I could feel my blood pressure went up because how salty it was. They accept card payment but it is cheaper to pay with cash. I might give this place another try maybe the Mexican dish read more
This was my first time visiting this restaurant. I arrived with my wife and 2 kids 6 minutes past 8am, which is when they open. We stood in the entrance for about 2 minutes before someone who was walking through the back area saw us standing around. We were seated quickly as we were the only ones there. We quickly noticed a smell that was not pleasant. Musty maybe? Not sure, but my wife had some type of allergic reaction, watery itchy eyes and a sneeze attack as soon as we sat down. We ordered some food, the breakfast platter for the kids to share, huevos rancheros for me and the Mexican breakfast for my wife. I was pretty surprised about the 35 min wait, especially since there were no other customers, but once our food arrived we could see the attention to detail. The food was really yummy, plentiful and hot. Hot in temperature and in spice. My wife and I tried to share some of our meals with the kids but they were too spicy for them. I did wish there was an indication of spice level on the menu, but I didn't see that. So why only 4 stars you ask? Though the food was delicious and beautifully plated, I was a bit disappointed with the attention to detail for the customers. Our server only came to the table once to see if we needed anything and it was toward the end of our meal. As I was asking for something, she began walking away missing half of my sentence, which meant more work for her since she had to grab that item, come back and go back again for the other item I was planning on asking for on her first trip back to the kitchen. At this point there were 3 other tables with customers but still the wait staff was very sparse. Once we finished, my kids and wife left the restaurant because my kids couldn't wait any longer and I sat at the table for 8 minutes by myself, with my credit card in hand, waiting to pay. 4 tables full of customers and zero staff on the floor is never ideal. Would I come back here? Maybe delivery since the food was really great, but not with the kids again. read more
Super cute brunch spot and they have an extensive menu with delicious food! This is a BYOB place and they brought us out champagne glasses. It was a little drizzly out in Saturday, and their inside was filled up. But they had an outdoor covered patio that was perfect and equipped with patio heaters. Staff are super sweet and kind! There is a ~$7 discount if you pay with cash read more

3 reasons you should check out Izzy's 33: 1. Cozy neighborhood spot that's not too busy just off of East Passyunk 2. Delicious sweet and savory brunch options, a lot of them with a Mexican flair- tried the coffee cake French toast and the breakfast stack and there are so many other things on the menu I want to try! This would be a great place to bring a mix of people with basic taste in breakfast and others who want breakfast birria taquitos. 3. Fresh juices like Horchata and Jamaica. Not sure if they're byob but I feel like any place that doesn't have alcohol is? Looks like they used to do dinner but are no longer doing that, but they're open every day 8-3! Great spot for a weekday breakfast! read more

The food here was delicious. I got the chilaquiles which was 18 dollars and a great deal for the amount of food there was. All the food was extremely well seasoned and flavorful. I went with my friends for a brunch and the vibes were very casual and chill. There's a lot of natural light that comes into the restaurant which is nice. It feels very homey and comfortable. We found out that the place was BYOB once we got there, so I will definitely be coming back with some bottles next time I come. Overall, the price was very reasonable, the portions were big, and the food was all very delicious. I would definitely recommend and come back. read more

I don't know how I made it a year living in SP without coming to Izzy's, BUT now that I've had it I don't know how I'll stop!!! The French toast and cubano sandwich were so tasty. I also ordered a lemonade which was a nice balance of tart and sweet. Service was great and friendly even though it was a busy Saturday. We sat in their patio, which was beautiful! I'd totally recommend this place to anyone in the neighborhood. read more

The best brunch we've had so far in South Philly and it's BYOB The ham and Brie sandwich was delicious with the strawberry jam in between the sourdough slices. The breakfast burger was hands down the best burger my boyfriend has ever had. To top it off we had to share one of the sweets and the crème brûlée was not too over powering with sweetness. I say it was just the right amount. Y'all need to come try this place out !! read more
