    Egg and sausage breakfast sandwich (no cheese)
    Eric T.

    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.

    Smoked Salmon pretzel sandwich

    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.

    Everything Pretzel - sausage, egg, and cheese
    Andrew T.

    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.

    Everything Pretzel with Bacon, Egg & Cheese

    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.

They recommended Nick's, one of their local spots. Glad they did! The space is nothing fancy, but it was nice to have a table by the window to people watch as we enjoyed beer and eats together. The music was good, but at a level we could have a great conversation. The roast beef sandwich on a Kaiser roll was tasty, although I'm more used to it on a hoagie or slightly shorter sub roll. That being said, my reco would be like we did - go for the superb (wow!) smoked, dry rub wings and onion rings with Sriracha aioli. (Note - The light, large rings used a Tempura batter.) Both items were totally awesome! If you're in Olde City, definitely should consider stopping by Nick's friendly bar & grille.

We arrived with a party of 7 and no reservation but were seated quickly with no hassle. The bartender appeared to be doubling as the server but took great care of us. The menu and draft beer list aren't extensive but what Nicks does they do well. There were enough selections to accommodate everyone, including a vegetarian member of our party. My waffle fries were to die for. Nicks is a great spot for a solid meal in the heart of Old City Philadelphia.

And I will say it was a little better than I remember last time. I got the works with mushrooms, peppers, onions, and provolone. On this one the beef was a little better than last time. 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 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.

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.
