The cafe is clean, bright, and well-maintained. You can order with one of the friendly employees at the counter or through a touch-screen. There's plenty of seating at both a counter and inside and outside tables. I ordered an iced Nutella latte and the Dubai Chocolate Waffle. My order was ready quickly, and the waffle looked both pretty and delicious on the plate. And it tasted just as good as it looked! The waffle was cooked perfectly, and there was a generous amount of the toppings, so you got all the flavors in each bite. The Nutella latte also tasted great, and had an extra swirl of Nutella inside the cup. I'll definitely be back again to try more of their menu items!

The cold brew was smooth and easy to drink without any bitterness. Prices are fair for Philly, with drip at $2.75 and handpours running about $4-6. The pastry case is a highlight. Croissants, almond and ham & cheese options, morning buns, cookies, and a blueberry jam beignet were all calling my name. There's also a small food menu with breakfast sandwiches and a smashed chickpea salad, plus bags of beans and merch if you want to take some home. Relaxed vibe, thoughtful coffee, great pastries. I'd happily come back.

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.

I found a spot next to an electrical plug where I was able to sit and work, have coffee, and even chat with another patron for several hours. Only problem, and the reason for three stars instead of four, after buying around $30 worth of food and coffee for myself and my friend, I went back to get another coffee. The price was around $4.80. I whipped out my credit card, and the barista said, we have a $5 minimum on credit cards. One $5 minimum is an excellent way to lose a customer forever. I absolutely never carry cash, and if I want a single coffee, I want to be able to pay for it with my credit

It appears one server was taking care of the whole restaurant. He was quick and really helpful, but the service was quite slow. Atmosphere- 3/5 This is a classic café kind of feel. I actually loved the brunch décor and signs. And the music was a really nice touch! Value- 4/5 The prices were very reasonable! The lower prices would encourage me to go back for a standard brunch in the future. Opportunities for Learning- 3/5 Again, this is a classic diner.

So glad we decided to come back after our lunch. The ice cream was some of the best we've ever had and the staff were super friendly. We sampled three different kinds and decided to get 2 scoops of honeycomb and 1 scoop of corn. Yes, corn does sound weird for ice cream but it was an interesting choice. While I wouldn't get just the corn ice cream, it paired well with the honeycomb. There were chewy pieces of corn in the ice cream which was a fun treat. The real star was the honeycomb ice cream though. Just wow! You have to get this. I promise you won't regret it. It was a nice day and we opted to sit outside the shop on a bench and eat our ice cream. This was a wonderful ending to our day in Philly.
