Cool vibe, awesome inside, good service, quick service. $25 for two pretzel breakfast sandwiches though. I don't need a fancy inside. I just want a cheaper pretzel sandwich I can eat while on the run
A cute little place to grab tea or coffee in Kensington Some tables and chairs are available The staff were nice. Coffee and tea were good The sandwiches looked tasty I dint have time to eat but I'll be back for one
I'm a fan. Good prices, good menu, good coffee. I definitely enjoyed the latte more than I liked the drip. While I haven't found a drip that I DON'T like, I certainly have a preference, and the trend of brewing & serving coffee with fruit notes isn't what I would generally reach for. But it's fine! Neat location. Comfortable seating area. To be honest, nothing overwhelmed me. It was a very standard coffee shop and good enough. Ticked the boxes. Wouldn't go out of my way to visit again. I will say - one thing I greatly appreciate about this place is the used needle container in the bathroom. It is inevitable that people are going to use, so give them a safe space to get rid of the things they are using. Much respect.
I like the creative concept by incorporating pretzel, kinda paying homage to our city of brotherly love. Taste wise is nothing out of the ordinary. I was anticipating real scrambled eggs but got 2 pieces of egg patties instead, no biggie. Texture is a bit on the mushy/soggy side, but i think it's because the cheese and i did ask for mayo to be slapped on there so be mindful of that. Service was fast and I was surprised by the inside seatings. It'a quite homey and peaceful to do some work despite the location.
I didn't dislike it. I didn't love it rather. Cute inside. The egg were patties instead of being freshly cooked eggs. I would have preferred either freshly scrambled or even a fried egg with a yolk that drips nicely all over my sandwich. I like the pretzel "bun". Definitely a unique take on the breakfast sandwich. I just think it could be improved upon and really be great. The cold brew was fine. Had an odd flavor to it that I couldn't describe. The girl who took my order seemed rather bored to be at work. Neither friendly nor unfriendly. Overall it's fine for a quick grab and go breakfast.
If you haven't heard of Rowhome, get you going! They do the classic, yet shockingly original Philly pretzel breakfast sandwiches. Side of pastries. Oh you want cream cheese on your pretzel? They got you. Sourcing local la colombe coffee gives them the chefs kiss of perfection.
One of my friends told me about this place. I was intrigued at the concept of pretzel breakfast sandwiches, so I bookmarked it on Google and dragged my bf along with me to try. We ordered the pork roll breakfast sandwich, the smoked salmon breakfast sandwich, and the cinnamon sugar pretzel with cinnamon sugar cream cheese. The pretzels were a little underwhelming--not especially soft or flavorful, just plain. It was basically the same pretzel for every menu item, even the sweet ones. I wish they'd varied it up a little by making the cinnamon sugar ones sweeter or more evenly coated in spices. That said, they were fairly affordable and still filled me up all right. Unfortunately, the location is a little too close to Kensington for my liking. It's not so close that there are drug addicts just roaming outside the cafe, but the area is a bit dilapidated and suspicious. My bf and I visited but left right after finishing our meal. Summary: Novel idea without much of an impact. I'm glad I tried it, though!
Great neighborhood spot! The service was really nice and pretty quick. The matcha latte was perfect and the pretzel sandwich was delicious. I really appreciated how it wasn't super greasy. Great spot to chill and do some work or pop in for a quick bite. Will definitely be back!
Small but cool place. A decent waiting line but it moved relatively quickly. sandwich was awesome. Iced mocha latte was decent. Finding parking was a little tricky.
I've always wanted to try this place! It's got a few tables to sit inside and not super crowded when I came on a Sunday. I ordered for pick up and was able to get my food timely and the workers were nice! The sandwiches were delicious - definitely unique in the city to use pretzels as the bread. Although the sausage was a bit dry. However, the pork roll was amazing.
Nice staff. We went early in the morning and got pork roll and sausage pretzel sandwiches. Cappuccino was perfect, and my husband liked his chai. Cute cafe located on a quiet corner.
I have visited this location 3 times now and each time has been very pleasurable. From the young lady at the window to the vibes in the surrounding neighborhood. I have have tried 3 different breakfast sandwiches each time. I have to say the Sausage Egg & Cheese on an everything pretzel is my favorite though. All the sandwiches which you can see in my pictures below have kept me full most of the day. It's a mini meal! The cheesesteak egg and cheese was very good as well but messier. Usually I eat the sandwich in my car parked on Front street. It's about a 20 minute drive each way but I always leave satisfied. Great job Rowhome! I can'y wait to you have inside seating. Must add the Gf loves the Everything pretzel with cream cheese. Can't wait to visit again!
Came in here on a Sunday to try out their breakfast sandwiches. I got the sausage, egg and cheese with everything pretzel. It was amazing!! A bit greasy to eat, but nothing a few napkins can't take care of. I'll need to come earlier since when I went around 12:30pm they were all out of the breakfast cheesesteak. Service was good, and there were empty counters and tables to read or do some work.

The pros were that the sandwiches are pretty big and thick, but sometimes things are kind of inconsistent in terms of how buttered the pretzel bun is or how much cream cheese there is, but overall pretty decent and major plus because the people that work there are nice read more

I ordered online for pickup, which was easy. I asked for the egg to be on the side since I was not going to eat it for a while and I wanted to be sure it wasn't soggy. The bacon was a little burnt (see below) but I added the egg (which was very thick) and you couldn't taste that it was burnt. I got the regular pretzel for the sandwich and it was really good, not too chewy and was salted to perfection. I think there was some type of spread on the sandwich, which was tasty. I ate the sandwich lukewarm, so I'm sure it would be even better if it was hot. *I will be back to try other sandwiches. read more

Would recommend this place to anyone wanting a quick breakfast sandwich. This was the first time I had a cross over like this and I was very satisfied. The pretzel is nice and fluffy. Personally, I wish it was a bit more salty or had more sauce; otherwise, I'd say it was well seasoned (not overly salty or greasy). The insides did not fall out while eating which is a huge plus in my books. I stayed for another 3-4 hours to get some studying done and it does get quite busy around 10AM-2PM. Bring some headphones if you want to get some work here. There are a bunch of outlets and seating. I didn't have a chance to try a latte/drink today but my friend enjoyed his chai latte! read more
I stopped by to check this place out on my way to IndyHall, in that weird hour where you should have eaten lunch by now, but it's too early to hit happy hour: 3pm. Rowhome is strictly a takeaway window, so there's nowhere to hang out, but they were slinging sandwiches and offering me friendly advice and service like I wasn't a weirdo looking for a breakfast sandwich at 3pm. Brava. While I wish there were seating, I understand the new reality of operating a profitable business in the food/cafe industry. These folks are savvy, I like it. I have never been to their original location, but maybe it has seating? Not sure. Doesn't matter here. I was feeling adventurous so I ordered a sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a cinnamon sugar pretzel, which was recommended when I asked what was good with the cinnamon-sugar pretzel. I'm so glad, because it was a great combination of flavors! Sweet, savory, chewy, a bit gooey....perfect! So if you're in the area. go check this place out! read more
Can't go wrong when it comes to pretzels and breakfast foods combined. The barista here was so nice, informative, and pleasant to interact with. The space is bright, clean, quiet, and comfortable. I went with a friend to grab coffee and sandwiches and catch up, we had a nice table by the window and hung out for a bit just chatting and taking in the ambiance of the place. I have also been to the Fitler square location which is closer to my house and work but this one is much larger and more for hanging out with a book, a friend, or your computer. Totally stop in for good coffee and a great sandwich. read more

If you are looking for something different - this is a great place to try out. They have a creative spin on breakfast sandwiches, paying homage to the Philadelphia pretzel, and embracing the doughy vessel of said pretzel to have a beautiful marriage to eggs and cheese (& meat if you so choose.) Super reasonably priced, quick service, and quality food. You can also choose from an assortment of different drinks as well. I will 1000% be going back. read more
I didn't know that I needed a pretzel as my top and bottom of my breakfast sandwich until I came here. One of the best breakfast sandwiches that I've had in a long time. A little pricey but it was worth it. I'm not a coffee drinker but I def will return for the food. I recommend the bacon, egg and cheese read more
After the initial influx of customers on opening day, the crowds have leveled off here and thank goodness - I can get impatient when I need a coffee and a breakfast sandwich on a weekend morning! This place doesn't disappoint. Coffee was good and the bacon, egg, & cheese on a Philly soft pretzel was delicious. I found it a bit odd that they didn't have coffee flavors except for Mocha and simple syrup, but maybe they are focused on doing a few things really well and not having a broad variety. I also love the location - right under the el across the street from Rocky's Mighty Mick's gym - everything about this area screams Philly. The service was also good - I waited less than 5 minutes for my coffee and sandwich. Just a note to dog owners - since there are A LOT of them in the area and they all seem to be going to Rowhome. When lining up to order at the window, keep some space between yourself and other dogs/their owners. It's kind of a tight spot and not everyone's dog is comfortable with other dogs so to have a guy with his dog literally stand one foot behind me and my dog was disconcerting. I know COVID is "over" but let's try to still maintain some personal space. And by all means PLEASE keep your dog on a leash. read more

What a letdown! So I had been looking forward to stopping by the newly opened shop. Their big thing is Pretzels and Coffee. Well, I'm not a coffee guy, so PRETZELS it is! So when a spot promotes only two items you assume that the have the best of both to offer. Well, NOT TRUE! Let me say it took 10 mins for me, second on line to get my order taken. One person taking orders/making beverages and another making sandwiches. Again, another FAIL. So, finally I order 2 Everything Pretzels and 1 plain. Again, a 5 min wait, so now I'm expecting EPIC pretzels. I open the bag and to my surprise they are obviously warm, which is making me extremely happy! Then I open the wax paper to find a toasted "everything" pretzel slices in 1/2. FAIL I didn't ask for them to be toasted or sliced. Now on to my Plain Pretzel...... Shame on ROWHOME COFFEE, for selling a mass produced, individually packaged pretzel from J&K SnackFoods, with the "FEDERAL PRETZEL" brand license on the front in a city know for its Philly Soft Pretzels & Cheesesteaks. $13.00 for 3 pretzels, an orange juice & a water. 2 stars is for the quality Natalie's Juice! read more

Was excited to get a breakfast sandwich this morning. Ordered the bacon egg and cheese on a salt pretzel and a hot chocolate. Hot chocolate was warm at best and not much flavor. The sandwich was finished quickly and looked delicious but I was turned off by the color of the egg when I bit into it. Had a greenish color which usually means the eggs are premade and held in steam for a long time. (Which explains the quick readiness) I probably won't be back unless they switch to made to order eggs. read more

Super happy to have stumbled upon Rowhome during my time in Philly. These sandwiches are unlike any other - very flavorful, fresh, and great portion. Having a Philly pretzel bun is unique and what ultimately will make this place rememberable for so many first timers like myself. Coffee was spot on as well. Baristas were really cool, had a great playlist on. The space was super clean, and extremely aesthetically pleasing. If I lived in the area, I would 100% be in here multiple times per week. read more

Popped in here for breakfast with my husband, *chef's kiss* . I ordered the cheesesteak pretzel sandwich, absolutely phenomenal. It's slightly messy so if you order it grab lots of napkins. I also ordered coffee which was good quality. Not much of a coffee drinker the food was the star of the show for me. The ladies working the front were pleasant and welcoming, which is always nice to experience at a restaurant. I highly recommend stopping here if you're in the mood for coffee and breakfast. read more
