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

At least one medical professional told me that I could have been at risk of bleeding out (dying) if the situation was slightly worse. And who knows if this hotel uses the same model shower door for more than just one of their rooms? The hotel's management did not call me to ensure my safety, apologize for the horror that they have put me through, or do their utmost to ensure that I am compensated for the horror that I was forced to experience at their establishment and it's been nearly a full calendar month since the incident with no successful proactive contact from them. Other than this horrifying experience which can likely happen to any of their other guests who decide to shower in their establishments the experience was beautiful. Very nice hotel room.

This is the best coffee shop in Philly!…read more Discovered this gem of a coffee shop while staying in the area. Everything about this place is everything. Starting off, the mood and the vibe of this shop is so zen and amazing. The comfy music that is played, the low lightening and the beautiful decor sets a beautiful mood, especially in the morning. Service is amazing!! All the staff are wonderful people and I really enjoyed the conversations I had with them. Everything I had was delicious but my favorite was the caramel iced latte. Was delicious and put other shops I've been to shame. I will definitely be back and highly recommend!

Yea, everything here is delicious. It's not an exaggeration, I actually wanted to hate the place…read morebecause of the vicious line but alas, the food speaks for itself. The pancakes were a mix between cake and heaven, the hash browns perfectly crisp with a very light, cool dill sauce. The midgriddle?! The spicy maple syrup?! Ugh, I love it all. I believe if you have a party of 2, you can skip the line if counter seats are available.

LIFE IS TOO SERIOUS TO NOT HAVE FUN WHEN YOU GO OUT TO EAT !!!!!…read more You know those really special places, the ones that feel like an extension of your home, the ones that become institutions of date nights? That's this place. My wife and have eaten here well over 75 times over the last few years and my goodness it just keeps getting consistently better and better. The people are all so friendly, welcoming, and know how to make sure you have a great time out - whether it's a low key burger night or your whole ass wedding (yes you should also get married here 10/10 recommend). There's not a bad thing on the menu, either. They keep the staples around but swap in seasonal treats and flavors all the time. Get the chocolate cake to go, you won't regret it.

We enjoyed a wonderful brunch at Talula's Garden today. Our waiter, Kenny, provided exceptional…read moreservice making my daughter's birthday even more special. 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.

Made dinner ressys here as I was visiting Philly for the first time and heard so many good things…read moreabout the famous edamame dumplings. 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.
