    The Godfather

    Delicious foot sub. I ordered the Godfather. It was my first time here. It came to $16. A bit pricey but I would come back

    Old discolored bacon. Gross.

    I went there for a breakfast sandwich. Maybe breakfast isn't their thing, but the meat in my breakfast sandwich was old. It tasted old and gross. It made me sick. Inside the place was not well kept. The guy behind the counter was friendly.

    I've had both the sandwiches here as well as some of the "under the counter" offerings. Haven't had a bad sandwich here, and the dirty rice/spicy chicken combination has always been a winner. The owner can come off as a bit gruff, but that doesn't bother me in the least, he still seems like a good guy. Only dings against the place is the size (small = crowded) and in the summer heat, the next door chicken business gives the area a, uh, "distinct" odor. Still hasn't stopped me from visiting though

    Finally had a chance to eat here. Let me tell you the food is tremendously good. This deli does a booming business. I tried the chicken cutlet classic. It was a huge chicken cutlet with lettuce tomato and a generous slice of American cheese. It came on a delicious seeded kaiser roll. It was fantastic. The chicken cutlet was so large it stuck out of the roll by 4 inches. They have daily specials and also do catering. I had a chance to talk to the owner whose name is Russell. He told me most of his customers get their food to go. The place is not big but the grinders are huge!!!. They have some indoor seating. I noticed that Johnnie Salami has won a few awards. If you ever get a chance, give this deli a play. You won't be disappointed.

    Good spot that's sort of hidden. Stop by for a quick breakfast or sandwich for lunch. The Italian sub is awesome

This reviewer was happy to have one of his family members mention it and there was no turning back? Bella's offers Homemade, Southern Style Comfort Food just like grandma would make? The Cafe consists of generous seating on both sides with a large bar stretching from the front door down towards the middle of the restaurant. We were sitting on the backend portion of identical tables and chairs. Our server was pleasant and friendly and our party of three were about to be very happy with what was in store for us? I was told that we had to arrive early because this popular little neighborhood nook, fills up at a moment's notice? We arrived at 8:00am and it was jamming. The menu has a large variety of breakfast and brunch options with their hours open until 3:00pm, daily I believe?? I enjoyed Bella's Corned Beef Hash with Scrambled Eggs, Homemade Grits and 2 Fresh Biscuits. Outstanding and Rib Sticking Comfort Food. If you never knew about this place before my review? I will gladly take the credit for getting you off your feet and into Bella's seat for a dining experience that you will thank me for?

My friend and I finally stopped by the other day. Fepo Cafe is a comfortable and quiet space for enjoying a coffee, lunch, or an independent study session. Their menu is large with an assortment of coffees, smoothies, teas, energy drinks, as well as a broad variety of breakfast and lunch items. Their Cherry Blossom Latte looked interesting. I ordered it hot, my friend got the Cherry Blossom Matcha iced. They were brought out to us pretty quickly. I was unfortunately very disappointed. I didn't get what I ordered. I got a typical matcha. It was bitter, but smooth. I had to add some sweetener to it. My friend who ordered the matcha, wasn't impressed, while it was nicely layered, it had the crucial ingredient missing, the cherry syrup. We were both dissatisfied with our drinks. It turns out we should have received a free cookie with the purchase of our drinks, we didn't get those. We also got a chia pudding each. One with mango and one with pineapple. These were both very tasty, and a healthy alternative to a snack. I'm not sure what happened, maybe the barista was new. I might stop by again in the future.

We tried to get in yesterday but it was super crowded and we didn't want to wait amongst a lot of people (too much sickness going around). However, I wish we had gone, because our breakfast wasn't anywhere as good as today. I started with a Carmel latte which was really good. I had the croissant French toast which was utterly amazing! I have to say that I am NOT a breakfast person. I'm not a fan of eggs, but I will eat them and I hate to start the day with a sugar bomb! However, the croissant French toast was a true delight. It came topped with fresh, not frozen sugary stuff, beautiful juicy strawberries, a nice light whipped cream, and a not so sugary chocolate sauce on the side. It did have a lot of whipped cream so I loved that to the side. It was served with syrup but I didn't use any. The flavor of the croissant with the strawberries was enough for me. I barely dipped it in the chocolate. It was delectable! I've also had their Irish Benny on another trip which was amazing and the pumpkin pancakes. There is NO other breakfast place where I cannot make a decision because there are so many delicious items to choose from. And, I know that anything I choose is going to be utterly amazing. Their portions are big and their prices are very fair for what your get. I felt like I had a whole pint of strawberries on my croissant. My husband had the meat lovers omelet with oatmeal. He said everything was perfect. The staff is very friendly and very attentive. This is a typical breakfast place. It's not fancy but friendly and clean. And everyone seems happy! The kind of place I like. You have to get here early or you'll have a wait. I say the wait is well worth it. We went at 8:30 on a holiday and were able to be seated immediately. That's the first time that's happened though. I want to try their lunch, but their breakfast is so amazing, I would probably order breakfast for lunch which is something I NEVER do! If we had this place near us (we're from Philly), it would be the death of me! I'd be going all the time.
