I have to give a 5-star shoutout to Rybread! We ordered pick-up on Sunday morning and it estimated a 20 minute wait. We headed over right on time and when I walked it you could tell it was super busy. There was some seating but I didn't take much time to look as I stepped up to the counter within a minute of entering to ask for my order. When I gave the cashier the name, I noticed the scones on the counter that looked too delicious not to skip, so I made another purchase for those. My breakfast sandwiches were all ready and I got them as I paid for my scones. The drinks we ordered, a smoothie and a hot mocha, were not yet made, but it seemed intentional as to not make one watered down or cold while waiting to be picked-up. The smoothie came out within 5 minutes and the coffee came out in the next 10-15 minutes. Normally having to wait like that for a pickup order (about 15-20 extra minutes after estimated) might have moved my review down a star or so, but the staff made it clear that someone had called out sick this morning and they were doing the absolute best they had with short hands. They were all friendly and working very quickly with the busy crowd. The sandwiches themselves were really delicious. We both got bacon breakfast sandwiches on a plain bagel with different specifications. There are plenty of meat and veggie options as well as bread/bagels to pick from. The drinks both tasted great as well. We definitely will be back and hopefully can enjoy sitting inside sometime if we get there at a lucky time :) read more

Nice lil cafe on Fairmount Ave that serves breakfast and lunch, along with assorted drinks. Many different options to choose from for paninis and sandwiches, and they also may have special ones on a side board. Lots of drinks from smoothies to coffee. A few tables outside and also an inside seating area. There is also a self serve water spout. Had one of the special paninis - turkey, apple, with Brie, and it was a great combo. Put together just right, a nice big sandwich for lunch. Fresh ingredient and quite tasty. Thanks read more

Good food but the service is pretty slow. If there's a line you'll be sitting there for awhile while the single person working the register rings up and serves each person. Even if you ordered ahead, and your order is sitting right there, you have to sit in line. It's a pretty stupid system. People order ahead to skip the wait. Hours are unreliable, they close in afternoon before 5pm sometimes. Website ordering is spotty and sometimes seemingly down. read more

I was here for a yelp pickup event but wanted to stay to work a little since the place was not very crowded when I came. I ordered extra items and got the Portland Panini. It was a bit disappointing because I didn't read too clearly and didn't see that the Portland panini was made with wheat bread. (Instead of the classic ciabatta, focaccia, or baguette) So basically it's a sandwich, not a panini... I added chicken as an extra and the bread came out to be around $15. The "panini" was a bit soggy and almost room temperature when I took my first bite. It was tasty but there was nothing special about it. I liked how they have outlets throughout the shop close to the seats so if you were here to work you can easily charge your electronics. The amount of natural sunlight is welcoming. The staffs were really friendly. This is a cute coffee shop to grab coffee and breakfast to catch up with friends or work. I wouldn't come here and expect to be wow-ed or find anything innovative. read more

Rybread has been overdue for a review from me. This spot owns breakfast in Fairmount. It's my weekly go-to, and that everything bagel sandwich? Unreal. I always try to sneak a peek over the counter just to see what kind of fairy unicorn magic dust they're tossing on my sammy. The service is always friendly, the vibe is great. I skip the coffee -- too light for me -- but the food keeps me coming back like clockwork. read more

Rybread - Bacon egg and cheese - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I love this place for their salads. This is a high praise, coming from someone who normally don't prefer greens. So far, I've tried their Greek salad and House salad. Both are so refreshing and delicious that I actually find myself craving them. It's great that their portion size is pretty hefty, so the pricing of $12 - $13 per salad is very reasonable. I also love that they promote the use of sustainable take-out paper boxes and paper bags. Ambience-wise, Rybread offers a casual and inviting setting with plenty of natural lighting through their huge windows. With seating options in both inside and outside of the cafe, diners can get plugged in and turn their productivity up indoors or catch up with friends while basking in the sun outdoors. Of the times I've gone there, I haven't had to wait longer than 5 - 10 minutes before getting my order. It's great that service is efficient and courteous, so I'll be back for more of their salad soon. read more

Got a Hot Mocha Latte and Bacon Egg and Cheese on an everything bagel for $16 (a dollar upcharge because of the egg shortage at the moment so normally $15) Hot Mocha Latte - they have one size (16oz) and it's pretty good. Tastes like they use a chocolate sauce rather than a thin syrup. Reminds me of a dunkin hot chocolate with a hint of coffee Bacon Egg and Cheese on Everything bagel - it's alright. A little salty and I'm not a big fan of the bagel used. Oatmeal on the bagel They do have a nice seating area and a water station for refills read more

Food is great. Amazing breakfast sandwiches. The services is good never had a problem. It is a nice place ti eat at in the morning. The ambiance is chilling. read more

My bf and I came back for lunch and so happy to finally try something new/different. We ordered the veggie quiche, pasta salad, harvest salad and Cuban panini. Only two items we did not love were the pasta salad and harvest salad. Pasta was good, but needed more flavor. It was refreshing and a great snack. Harvest salad had a lot of good toppings, but it was very salty and very high in sodium. Loved the individual ingredients inside the salad! Veggie quiche was great and I would order it again. I would love to try the meat version. The Cuban panini was a 10/10 and I would 100% order that again. Loved everything about it and have zero complaints. read more

I first tried Rybread on an Elite Experience a few weeks ago and was excited to go back. I stopped by a couple of days later and ordered 2 Santa Monica Sandwiches on sourdough bread to go. My husband and I tried the sandwiches and we both loved it. All ingredients tasted so fresh, which is always very important to us. It was delightful dinner option for us. The service at Rybread is quite nice, the people are nice and attentive. I loved the small coffee shop vibes and it's location. read more

This place has great coffee, paninis and salads, however their closing hours are totally unreliable. They randomly close way before their posted hours. This happens to us more often than not in the afternoons. We no longer count on them if we plan to pick up salads or sandwiches for a light dinner. read more

Rybread is a wonderful staple in the Fairmount neighborhood! I ordered online for curbside pickup and my order was ready in just a few minutes. The menu had a lot of variety and there were so many ways to customize a sandwich - cheeses, meats, spreads... even how much you wanted your bagel toasted! It took all my restraint not to order the cupcakes, ice cream and cookies! For my weekend breakfast, I went with an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese, tomato and spinach, along with an iced coffee. The bagel was delicious, it had the perfect amount of cream cheese and was toasted exactly how much I asked for! The coffee was a great brew. I definitely want to try the cold brew next time! I have a feeling I will become a regular here and try the rest of the menu! read more

Every time I'm in Philly my bro gets these breakfast sandwiches and it just HITS every time. Delicious everything bagel, bacon, well seasoned egg, melt my cheese, yum. The little label that indicates I have an American breakfast sandwich has a smiley face on it and hey! That makes me happy. Bro says somehow they're getting BETTER. Thanks for satiating my appetite RyBread! read more

Very yummy breakfast and I love going to Rye Bread in the morning supper simple and yummy

Clean modern look to the place - the service was quick - the sandwiches were delicious. Simple as that.

I would come to Rybread all the time, even before they moved locations on Fairmount. However, I feel like they went a little downhill as of late unfortunately and their sandwiches can be a bit inconsistent. I used to always get their Savannah Sandwich, which reminded me of Thanksgiving, but lately it has been a little bit a hit or miss. Either there is too much Brie which just overpowers the sandwich or you get the brines which just adds a weird texture/flavor to the sandwich. Sometimes there's cranberry sauce and other times just a little pinch. Recently, I got their San Fran panini which I thought was really salty. The prosciutto, the pesto, and hot pepper relish (an addition) was too salty to eat. I also asked for avocados which they forgot to include, but I wasn't going to call for a $2 refund. My boyfriend got the Santa Monica sandwich which was delicious. A standard BLT with avocado which was perfect. He also gets the Philadelphia sandwich, which is essentially an Italian hoagie, which can be also be a hit or miss in terms of flavor - sometimes too bready or sometimes everything just falls apart bc of the oils/vinaigrette. Personally, I think the Rybrew location is better when it comes to their sandwich's (same menu). They add a little bit more tenderness and love. read more

Convenient neighborhood spot with overpriced sandwich, willing to pay the price of convenience until you guys force me to wait in line with others who haven't ordered yet for my online order that I have placed 30 mins prior. After working the overnight shift, now I gotta wait an extra 15 mins after 3 customers ordering like "can I get uhhhhhhhhhh..." while eyeing my sandwich on the counter 2 feet away from me. Absolutely frustrating! Please turn off online orders if you are going to make those customers wait even longer, makes no sense. No other place treats online orders like this. I've seen other complaints/reviews about this exact online order policy. read more

This is my weekend staple. Absolutely love the New York Panini...I always say I want to branch out, but that panini is so good that I order it almost every time. Also strongly recommend their milkshakes/smoothies!! read more

My favorite cafe in Philly! I make a point to come here every time I'm in the area. The bagels are always fresh and the eggs are made from scratch so they are super fluffy. The smoothies are amazing as well. I always get the green machine to battle a hangover. They always have a daily fresh quiche option and pastries as well. The lunch options are equally as great. They get very busy on the weekend mornings! So be prepared to wait a little, but it's definitely worth the wait read more

Cute little spot in brewerytown! There's more seating inside than you think, this place can easily fit a large group. Plenty of delicious sandwich options and a huge variety of beer to pair it with. I had the Banh Mi which was a good bite. A little sweet for my taste but still pretty good. Check it out! read more

Rybread - San Fran - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Went to Rybread for the first time yesterday afternoon. I had heard about this resturant from one of my entrepreneurship classes I was in, the owner of this establishment had came in to talk about her story as an entrepreneur and all the struggles she went through in the business. I thought the resturant sounded awesome and her story was amazing so I thought I would try it out! My friend and I stopped in around noon yesterday. We both got iced coffees and we decided to split the buffalo chicken panini on chibbata bread. The panini had Gorgonzola cheese, mozzarella cheese, shredded buffalo chicken and shredded carrots. I thought it was awesome! Was the perfect amount of food for a light lunch for my friend and I. We weren't too too hungry but we did want something little to hold us over. I loved everything about the panini besides the fact that there was Gorgonzola cheese on it; but that was my bad because I had forgotten to ask them to not put any on there. I also got a brownie which was very delicious as well! Besides that, everything at Ryebread was great! The coffee was fresh, the atmosphere was cool and friendly, as were the employees and the resturant was impeccably clean! I really enjoyed my experience here and my friend Lex did as well! I will definitely be returning in the near future very soon! read more

Rybread - Buffalo chicken panini with gorgonzola & mozzarella - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

While in town for an event, this became the go-to breakfast stop on the walk to the Philadelphia Convention Center. (We stopped here twice because we really enjoyed our breakfast choices during our first visit!) The wait was long on Saturday - it is obviously a local favorite. Because the menu options were hearty and healthy we stuck around, and it was worth the wait. (I hope during the week they can handle the crowd a bit better.) Rybread is simple and small, but makes up for that with its fantastic menu. On day one I had the Meat Quiche and a Breakfast Smoothie. On day two I got the Veggie Quiche. Honestly, I could eat those quiches every day. If you're a local or simply visiting and looking for a healthy meal or snack, I would totally recommend stopping at Rybread! read more

Okay this place is awesome, especially when you are tired of overpriced underwhelming bagels and sandwiches in the city. I've tried their customized bagel sammies and paninis and both are great. I have yet to try a dessert but I've got my eye on the enormous cupcakes behind the glass display. Will be back again and again! read more

Friendly service and delicious breakfast food. I had a sesame bagel with egg and cheese and the bagel tasted so fresh. I was also really in the mood for a smoothie so I ordered the strawberry banana which also has coconut water in it for extra hydration. Just the combo I needed this morning. Highly recommend. read more

Neighborhood gem! Been coming here for a little over five years, enjoy it every time!!! We have tried a little bit of everything from their menu. But one of our absolute favorites is the Austin salad!!! It has the perfect blend of veggies, flavor from the dressing, salsa and sour cream, and crisp tortilla chip strips!!! Perfect when you're looking for a lighter option since it's still so filing! Not to mention perfect for summer. My boyfriend has enjoyed the Choco Peanut butter smoothie and a breakfast sandwich for breakfast on a few occasions, whereas I have enjoyed a scone or muffin. We have also enjoyed most of the sandwiches on the menu. They also give you the option to add (huge!) cookies and delicious chips to your order! They also sell Harpers ice cream and assorted beverages that one can add to their meal. We usually order ahead and pick up on the way home for dinner or late lunch. Thankful for this spot! Helped us in pinch so many times! read more

I would definitely go again & try something savory! Definitely Recommend! read more

5 stars for the fact that their hours are 7-7, I love going to a cafe after work but cafes are usually closed; not Rybread! Not to MENTION their food is very tasty! I'd be lying if I said I didn't come here more than once a day: once for a coffee and another time when I go out for a late lunch! Love this place read more

Rybread has good food, but they have instituted an asinine system of making online orders stand in line with everyone who is ordering regularly. The last 3 times I have been here, I have had to wait 15-20 minutes to be able to walk over and grab the food that was sitting next to the register that I already paid for half an hour earlier. If they want to keep business, they need a better system. read more

I had lunch here today with a friend. It was my first time sitting in the restaurant to eat. (Several years ago, someone I worked with ordered take out and I had the crab cake sandwich. It was delicious. This time I had the ham and tomato quiche which was DELICIOUS! It was a generous and filling portion. My friend had the Kingston which she enjoyed as much as I enjoyed the quiche. The young person that took our order was patient with me as I couldn't decide which of the two quiche types I wanted. When our order was ready, they were very kind and brought it to our table. Unfortunately, I was comfortably full when I was finished so I didn't get dessert. --- But the cupcakes looked wonderful. The next time I come here will be for a cupcake. read more

Nice spot in Fairmount Ave. I had Cuban panini and plain bagel with veg cheese spread. Both were nice. Probably be my go to bagel spot in town. Staff were friendly and the menu was extensive with plenty of sandwiches and panini choice. The price is right and the panini was filling. read more

I'm not sure if I was really hungover or this food was just really good but I thoroughly enjoyed my sandwich and coffee from Rybread! I got the Santa Monica which is a BLT with egg avocado and mayo. The bread was warm and soft and the flavors of the sandwich along with the runny egg were the perfect combo. My boyfriend got the Cuban which he also enjoyed. If you are dining in you order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Food took a little bit long to come out but it was obviously because everything is made fresh. I would have waited even longer for how good this sandwich was lol!! There's a decent sized seating area here including a few tables, community table, and outdoor seating. They also have free WiFi avail if you are coming to do work! Noticed that they had a dog bowl of water outside for the pups which is a nice touch. We were just visiting the area for the weekend but will deff come back to Rybread when we're around again! read more

Great breakfast bagels and delicious ice coffee ! Friendly service and great location

This was a cozy little spot in Fairmount! Great place to bring work or a book and relax. Their menu is full of different sandwiches, soups, and salads. I have tried most options from here, and all of them are delicious. Ideal breakfast spot for dine-in or takeout. read more

Went on Saturday afternoon for their lovely salads and amazing ice tea. My wife had thai salad and i had Austin salad. The portions were very good and unlike other salad places the meat quantity was surprisingly sufficient. The salads came in togo boxes. So u eat how much ever uou can and take home rest. They have outdoor seating in front and behind. The back outdoor seating was not very impressove and we got luck to get a place in front (only 3 tables in the frnt). My wife tried their mint and i had mango tea. The tea was very refreshing. Overall, i recommed this place and advice to come early as the place is small and generally has a wait for seating. Note:they are going to move soon. Read the paper notice. read more

I live in the neighborhood. I've tried to like this place many times. I just don't. My bacon egg and cheese about 9$ .. 2 lousy strips of bacon which were tasteless I don't even know how that happens and they were yellow in color which is even weirder. The sandwich was poorly constructed. Eggs looked grey. The worst part about the place is if you step foot in here for 1 minute you leave smelling like the food.. maybe they don't have proper ventilation in the place ... but don't plan to go anywhere in the same clothes after entering that building. I don't recommend. read more

I had been meaning to walk over to Rybread for several months. Finally made it in earlier today, and the visit was unfortunately a bit of a letdown. You enter and there appears to be a line to the register. Chances are that it is not actually a line -- it's just people waiting for their already-ordered drinks/food inside the tiny space. At this point, you can either look at the chalkboard of offerings to the left, view the case of pastries, or head right up to the counter and place your order. Once done ordering, you join the ranks of people who appear to waiting in line but are just...waiting. Your name is then called shortly thereafter. In my case, they chose to call me "Kathy" (*points at Yelp name* *makes face* *notes that this did not impact my rating since it happens to me all the time but.. uuuuugh*). I grabbed my order, and since there were no tables open (out of the three available), I brought my piping hot coffee and "Denver" chicken salad sandwich outside to quickly consume at one of the tables there. These additional tables would be nice when it's warm outside, I'm sure. Drink verdict: I was not a fan of my vanilla-flavored coffee. Despite sitting outside in the 40-something degree weather, it took way too long to even cool off to the point of being drinkable. Once it finally did reach peak-drinking-temperature, the flavor was off. Maybe their regular coffee is better. Sandwich verdict: They clump that meat in there! That part is great! For the price, it's a fantastic deal. I wasn't a fan of the multigrain bread, so if I ever found myself there again, I'd ask for a different bread type. The [chunky] chicken salad itself was also on the bland side, with minimal walnuts, but the grapes were good and saved the sandwich. Other items on their menu looked like they could be tasty, so I might check them out again someday. read more
