So maybe I've never stepped foot into Olivier Cafe, but I've Doordashed it more times than I'd like to admit. Everytime I get it, it's perfect. Their pesto lunch sandwich is incredible and HUGE, but their breakfast sandwiches are top tier. I've had most of them at this point and they are all so great. Their coffees are so tasty and reasonably priced. They even have a few lemondes and fun drinks, which to no surprise, are also awesome. I can go on and on, the sweet treats are killer too. Always a great breakfast/lunch spot. read more

Came here after seeing the picture of the custom veggie sandwich. Have been dreaming of it! I had to get help to figure out how to order it. Basically egg and cheese and piled on the veggies. The price quickly added up but worth ever penny! The veggies were fresh. The bread fresh and tossed perfectly. I will dream of this breakfast sandwich. Also got the Popeye smoothie. It was excellent! Everything I ordered was excellent. If I lived nearby I would eat here frequently. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place never was crowded but you could see people coming in and out picking up orders.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend!!! read more

I stumbled upon this spot while on a walk looking for a quick coffee, and now I look forward to my walks just to have it! At first, I tried to keep this gem to myself, but it's too good not to share. On my first visit, I ordered the hamwich, a hash brown, and a smoothie. While the smoothie wasn't my favorite, the hamwich was so incredible that I had to come back and take one home. The ham was thick and juicy, and the cheese was perfectly gooey. But the real star for me is the horchata latte--I couldn't stop raving about it to my friends! It's such a unique and delicious menu item. I also tried the breakfast platter, which was super convenient for my healthy eating goals, and the ingredients tasted so fresh. If you go, make sure you get the hamwich and the horchata latte. You won't regret it! read more

My husband and I stopped in here for a quick bite in the morning after a concert, and the food was absolutely delicious. We were staying at Society Hill Hotel, which is directly next door (we knew it was close but didn't realize how close it was!), and dined in. It was a pretty busy Saturday, so people were in and out constantly, but the service was quick. I got the breakfast burrito with bacon (which I frequently get as a "safe option" when I go out to new breakfast places) and it was one of the best i've ever had- the aioli was top tier. My husband got the avocado/egg toast + side salad and he also said it was fantastic. Nothing was too greasy or heavy, and it was all seasoned well. The latte I got was good, and he enjoyed his lemonade. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only downside is that there isn't a ton of seating (still more than you'd except since it's such a small place), so if it's busy you might need to do carry-out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely a good spot for a quick bite! read more

My go to for lunch is a turkey club and I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur (if there even is such a thing). Olivier has a turkey blt which has all the same ingredients but is a layer short of a club. It may be lacking a slice a bread but it completely makes up in flavor of the ingredients. Very fresh, the sourdough is toasted just right and the bacon is a perfect crisp. I will definitely be back for this sandwich and look forward to trying other menus items too! read more

coffee good. treats are about what you expect. however the ambience leaves something to be desired its a small place-couple hundred square feet. but in it is a family of over enthusiastic kids ages 3-5, throwing darts at this attractive nuisance (a dart board ) they installed. and they were being encouraged by their parents. I determined that the darts were magnets-but Jeez trying to enjoy your beverage in a confined space, so to speak, at the same time as trying to ignore screaming kids that may accidentally throw a dart in your drink is too disconcerting to put up with. if people don't have any manners or common sense someone has to make some rules. take down the dart board! music is loud. not a place to go if you require peace and quiet.

Bought lunch here looking for a place to use the restroom before heading into a meeting. The employee said they didn't have a restroom, then said their toilet didn't flush. Of course you order through a screen and provide a tip before any service is provided. Typical in 2024 these days. Regretfully tipped graciously to be denied a restroom. Chicken panini with lettuce, tomato, honey mustard and bacon was good. Put up a sign that says paying patrons are denied use to facilities. Or maybe just be truthful and say, "i apologize it's our policy that customers can't use the restroom." I wonder what other hygiene concerns their kitchen has if they don't have working restrooms. read more

The roll is a little too soft for my tastes. It doesn't hold up as well as others. But it was solid. It's still not in my top 10 in the city. But it will go on my more recommended list.

Campos has been around since 1947 and i can't help but wonder how much cheesesteaks went for way…read moreback when but i'll tell you in 2026 if you're looking to eat here for a fair price look elsewhere. Campos is a small strip fast food dine in that appears to be well kept in and out. unfamiliar with the social popular attraction this restaurant gets.. but i chose to eat here as it was closest to us after visiting the adventure aquarium (great aquarium i recommend it) so that we could try authentic philly cheesesteak but sadly i was slightly disappointed and here s why: before i give my opinion i'd like to state i got a the italian cheesesteak rather get a simple cheesesteak and that's my mistake there but after noticing no prices were marked on the menus i already felt off about it. in total my gf and i each got 1 sandwich and a fountain drink bringing the total up to 49 dollars.. i didn't have time to react but seeing the prices set my expectations high. i was expecting to be blown away by being served the messiest cheesesteak i'd ever eaten so gooey and greasy it'd take years off my life but when we unrolled our sandwiches i was immediately let down. sandwiches didnt look appetizing and the italian cheesesteak tasted like i was eating one large cooked broccoli. there were peppers in my sandwich that had a whole lot of heat which i enjoy in a good sandwich but the heat came with no flavor and was too intense for me to taste and enjoy even the overwhelming broccoli flavor from the sandwich. i will say the sharp provolone was delicious when i could taste it but sadly that's all i take from my sandwich. my gf got the cheesesteak hoagie and says the flavor was good and enjoyed her sandwich but feels the price is ridiculous for the quality and i sadly have to agree. if i'm going to spend more than i would at applebees.. yes.. applebees.. for food that wasn't as good as applebees then i expect to be blown away. staff was average they weren't rude no complaints there. the store is air conditioned and well kept considering the very limited seating due to high traffic with pictures and painting on the walls with some historic look-backs to its earlier years. Overall i won't base my entire opinion on philly cheesesteaks from this review. i've heard from locals and family that you want to find the food trucks that serve cheesesteak as they have what i'm looking for. will i come back here? no. -update: the owner posted a comment to my review saying i should get out more then began to compare prices to other places that might just have better food i've never received this type of feedback but this is also my lowest rating so far so i'm i guess i'm not too surprised.

I've been meaning to try almost home general for quite some time, now I'm kicking myself that I…read morewaited this long. I had heard alot about their chicken caesar wrap, and as a chicken caesar enthusiast, I had to give it a shot. This was absolutely incredible. Dare I say the best wrap I've had in Philly. Everything was perfectly fresh, the dressing was delicious, and the wrap was perfectly grilled. I went for the truffle fries on the side, they were great as well. Perfectly fried and seasoned. Unfortunately my snickerdoodle latte wasn't the greatest. The flavoring was lovely and was just sweet enough, but the espresso was a bit burnt. Overall this was great, definitely adding to my lunch rotation.

Food: The bagels themselves were unfortunately very hard and…read morenot entirely enjoyable to eat. That said, the egg, cheese, and fixings were great. It's possible the bagels weren't fresh when we visited (Tuesday morning). I ordered a cereal latte and a mango smoothie. The coffee was fine but not something I'd order again, while the smoothie was really good and something I would recommend. While dining in, the overall presentation felt more like a cafeteria experience than a sit-down café. We were given plastic to-go utensil sets, plastic cups, plastic straws, and our food was served on a baking sheet. The overwhelming use of plastic felt underwhelming for dining in and didn't align with the price point, especially when the average coffee + bagel total exceeds $15. Service: The staff was friendly overall, but not very mindful of professional behavior while working. While the atmosphere is meant to be relaxed, one barista was sitting on the countertops and taking personal calls on speaker, which felt off-putting as a customer. Ambiance: It's a nice open space with great natural lighting and plenty of seating. Overall, it's a good place to work, hang out, and get caffeinated.

We sat in the outdoor garden on an unusually pleasant July afternoon (by Philly standards). It was very comfortable, even though the restaurant was full. We enjoyed several of the brunch entrees, to include the salmon eggs Benedict and Huevos Rancheros. The food was fresh, hot and perfectly prepared. Finishing with a sampling of their wonderful desserts made it a perfect meal on a perfect day. Well done and highly recommended!

Okay so a few of us from work had been saying "we should go there" for like a month and we finally…read moreactually did it. The whole reason was the garden patio and oh my god, yes, absolutely worth it. We picked the right table too, right in the middle of everything. We ordered cocktails, got a bunch of things to share, and just kind of settled in. The scallop and shrimp risotto? My favorite thing we ordered. It sounds like it's going to be super rich and heavy but the pickled vegetables on top balance it out perfectly and I cleared my plate. We also got the biscuits to start and the salted honey butter that comes with them is actually dangerous because you will not stop eating it. We debated ordering another round. The cucumber salad I honestly almost said no to, but it ended up being so refreshing and it went with everything else really well. Glad someone talked me into it.

Parking was easy to find outside, and I was welcomed and greeted nicely upon entering. They provided me with a veggie menu upon seating me, which I really appreciated. I also had the pleasure of being waited on by the very handsome Vinny. He checked in on me often and made sure I was enjoying my meal. The edamame dumplings were pretty good! I had imagined whole edamame beans, but they were mashed inside, which was definitely a surprise. Also had the wasabi mashed potatoes, which had a very unique flavor that I hadn't had before. Overall my dining experience went very well. I accidentally dropped one of my chopsticks, and a gentleman picked it up immediately and got me a new one. Inside the ambiance was relaxing and the lights were dim, but I was still able to take nice pics of my meal. Highly recommend if you're in the area :)

Nan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodle House

Lazy Sunday after an unsuccessful Memorial Day beach weekend. It was cold and rainy all weekend but…read morewe decided to hit up some beef noodle soup place to warm up. On this cold almost summer day, Nan Zhou was hustling and bustling. Separate parties at the same round table and clients coming in and out of the restaurant facade. Warm lighting and active banter. I received my bowl of beef noodle soup was pretty satisfied. Beef was tender with flavorful bites of fattiness. Somehow, the meat tastes beefier than beef. The cilantro had potent herbaceous flavor with some spinach(?) and mustard greens. Noodles were pleasantly chewy w variation in texture. Lowkey, everything else was alright. I like to be nice so I'll say no more. Cucumbers were fine

We came here around 1pm on a Sunday and ordered the mapo tofu with noodles, the house special…read morenoodle soup, and a shrimp stir fry. This place was packed, which is always a good sign, and even with that the staff stayed super prompt and professional. The house special was my favorite. I got it with the knife-cut noodles and it was perfect with the broth. The noodles had that slightly uneven, chewy texture that really holds onto the soup. I never thought I'd be the type to talk about "mouthfeel" but here we are. The broth itself was rich and savory with a deep beef flavor, a little bit of oil on top that adds body without feeling too heavy. It's that classic, comforting Chinese beef noodle soup done really well. I added a braised egg, which had great flavor soaked into it, though it was served cold, which threw me off a bit. The mapo tofu with noodles was also really solid. It had that signature spicy, numbing kick from the Sichuan peppercorns, balanced with a savory, slightly salty sauce. The tofu was soft and silky, and mixing it with the noodles made it extra satisfying. It's got some heat but not overwhelming, just enough to keep you going back for another bite. The shrimp stir fry was lighter but still flavorful. The shrimp were cooked well, tender with a slight snap, and the sauce leaned more on the savory side with a mild sweetness. It felt like a nice balance alongside the heavier noodle dishes. Couple practical things: it's cash only, but there's an ATM right by the seating area which makes it easy. And the portions are generous for the price, so it feels like a really good deal. Overall, super satisfying spot. Busy, a little chaotic, but the food absolutely delivers. Definitely a go-to if you're craving hand-pulled noodles.
