    One of the newer spots in this part of Philly that is family owned. Staff are friendly and the space inside can seat a fair amount of people. Food is fresh and they have a few dishes that are not commonly seen in other restaurants. Really enjoyed the rice cake egg dish as well as the classics. Just be mindful of the neighborhood cuz it's a bit rough.

    Some of the best Vietnamese food in Philly is just to the north in Kensington. The neighborhood is a little sketchy but the food is worth it. The bun bo hue and pho is outstanding with tender and fatty cuts of meat. Service was friendly. The Viet ice coffee was nice and creamy, strong, with notes if salted caramel.

    Stopped by for an hour of work on a relatively quiet afternoon. This is a small shop given the…read morearea, but with a surprising amount of seating given that the kitchen takes up a considerably small footprint. I ordered a green iced tea which was delicious, and then sat and worked. Wi-fi is solid here, and the outlets are plentiful. I especially like having seats with backs and sizable tables at the right height... when you're working from cafes the small details make a difference. Even though the espresso machine was down, the staff were still friendly and pretty calm about the whole ordeal (although some customers were not). Appreciate a friend face, a quiet space to work, and a nice vibe to relax in for the day. Will stop by again when I'm in Old City!

    Cute little eatery with a few tables inside. They offer some baked goods and delicious coffee…read more I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk -- it was really good, but I didn't realize how small the size was and was surprised by the additional $1.25 charge for what seemed like just a few splashes of oat milk. 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.

    We love finding fun breakfast spots when exploring a new city, and this one did not disappoint! The…read morebright yellow interior was cheerful and made for a welcoming atmosphere. We visited on a Friday morning and were seated right away, though the restaurant filled up quickly. The menu is large, with plenty of options to choose from. We ordered the avocado toast, the Green Goddess, and the Eggxplorer Cheesesteak. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Between the great food, excellent service, and fun atmosphere, this is a breakfast spot I'd highly recommend!

    I love me some breakfast spots. This is my new fav spot when I am in town!!!…read more The food is amazing it wasn't greasy at all well proportioned and the balance of spice goes amazingly. The coffee match loved it. I couldn't be happier with all the food choices we've made and shared. The huevos ranchero was amazing it does have a good kick to it which I loved didn't require any additional hot sauce. My daughter loved the pancakes but the tropical bliss she loved so much. I had the omelette and it sad so well balanced so filling of a meal but I want to compliment over the fact that food did come to us served all greasy even the potatoes it was so well done. My son devoured his burger lol he loved it so much sharing wasn't really an option for him lol. Overall this review is well deserved with the starts given. The service was quick staff was so friendly and polite. There isn't much of seating area as it's a small space but it moves fast. It can get a bit loud when it's crowded.
