Wow, this place gets BUSY ever since they went viral on TikTok and Instagram. On weekends…read moreespecially, the line genuinely never seems to slow down, so definitely expect a wait for both food and drinks. That being said, the team really does their best to get everything out as quickly as possible despite how packed it gets. Finding a table on weekends can also be pretty difficult, so I'd keep that in mind before going. As for the actual food and drinks, I've enjoyed most of the drinks I've tried here. I also love that they're always coming out with seasonal drinks and food specials, which keeps the menu fun and interesting. Definitely worth keeping up with their Instagram for updates. For the food though, there were a couple things I personally probably wouldn't order again. The J St Sando didn't have much flavor in my opinion, and the OG banh mi just wasn't anything particularly special to me. However, the tamarind fries and the gochujang fried chicken banh mi were delicious!! Those were definitely the standouts for me and what I'd come back for. Overall still a really fun spot with great energy and creative menu items.

This place is super popular and has gone viral on TikTok for a reason--it's really worth the hype!…read moreTheir coffee selection is great, plenty of fun flavors to choose from. The only thing I'd say is I wish they had more hot coffee options, but I do still enjoy their iced drinks. My favorite part about this cafe is the food. I tried the Khang special banh mi and was blown away by how good and flavorful it was. Can't wait to come back and try more! The space is well-lit and large with plenty of seating, but it gets pretty crowded so expect to wait a while for a seat if you're there on a busy day.

My family and I got breakfast at Enswell during our stay in Philadelphia. This swanky, hip place…read moreoffers up elevated tasty food and superb service in an exquisitely decorated, albeit small, cafe. We braved negative degree weather for the roughly 10 minute walk from our hotel. We walked in at a good time. This is the type of place where a reservation for breakfast would be required. We were sat immediately. The dining area is tight. A green velvet bench, marble tables, metal chairs, all packed into a small area. You could very well have your butt brush over the table of the patrons next to you if you have to get up for any reason. It's tight. Our server was around quickly. He was super friendly and kept things conversational, light and sophisticated. My wife ordered an iced latte, I had their hot drip coffee. For a starter, we had to try the cinnamon knot bread. While it wasn't what we were expecting, it was good. Although, we wouldn't order again. The bread is presented as a small loaf, room temperature with a cold cream cheese icing drizzled over top. The bread had a mild cinnamon flavor and was dry. It lacked the sweet, moist dough you expect from a cinnamon bread. My wife ordered the French style omelet. This had gruyere cheese and chives. Beautifully plated, perfectly cooked and the taste was spot on. It was good enough to forget that she paid $21 for just an omelet, no meat, no sides. I ordered the Eggs Benedict. Pretty standard here. The eggs had bright orange yolks which is common for farm fresh eggs. The "coffee" hollandaise didn't come across with a coffee flavor but it was rich and went well with the ham and English muffins. One thing that stuck with me was their drip coffee. Not sure if it has been a while since I had a light roast but the Rival Bros. Revolver coffee was so good, I got a bag of whole beans to bring back home with me. I may even order it again online. Enswell succeeded on all fronts. The ambiance and service was great. The decor, impeccable. The food, thoughtful and tasty. The details from the silverware to the plates added to the experience. We would come back.

I thought this place was very cute. Outdoor limited seating…read moreand indoor area as well. The appeal was to get a quick read in amd have my pup with me. I felt like I ordered the wrong combination. I was able to do an egg sandwich and swap for sourdough bread vs eng muffin. Love that. Didn't love the copper sharp cheese that was a bit messy and tangy. I kept thinking they must have added some type of sauce on it. I'd much rather come back for a simple fried egg combo and chedda cheese. I was also offered sparkling water, but I do wish it had more fizz. The service start to finish was superb in friendly and fast service. I'd come back for mimosa/bar for sure.

I tried a few drinks here and was pleasantly surprised by how unique and well-balanced they were:…read more Matcha White Champaca Salted Cheese - Starts with a light matcha bitterness, then transitions into a subtle floral camellia note. Refreshing with nice layers. Jasmine Mango smoothie - Sweet mango paired with pomelo bits and a hint of jasmine tea. Super refreshing and not overly sugary--perfect after a meal or on a hot day. Premium Jasmine Apple Milk Tea - Tastes like a cold-brew tea mixed with green apple juice. Very crisp and refreshing, slightly ing apple candy in a fun way. Great if you're not into milky drinks. Jasmine Tea - A pure tea option with a clean jasmine aroma. Smooth, not bitter, and gets better as you sip. Pairs really well with heavier or savory foods.

I bought two bagels with specialty cream cheese, a cinnamon roll with icing, a jalapeño cheddar…read morepretzel, and a cheddar jalapeño focaccia loaf. The bagels were fresh and soft with the little bit of tanginess expected from bagel dough, and the additional flavor from the everything seasoning and cheddar blended with the cream cheese well. Cinnamon roll was also softer than expected with just the right amount of icing, like an upgrade from the classic Cinnabon roll. Focaccia was moist and flavorful, great for sharing at my family party. Didn't get to taste pretzel because it was for my boyfriend. Tip 1: Come here before 9! I came too late at 10am one day and everything was already sold out. Kettle Black fans are BIG fans! In warmer months, people might start lining up at 7:30 just before opening at 8 for the best stuff. The second time I came, I rolled up at 8:45 to find a long but reasonable line. Like, maybe a 15 min wait to get inside. Some items (everything cheddar bagel and pretzel bun) were sold out, but many items were still in stock. Tip 2: Get specialty cream cheese. I got a bacon cheese pepper cream cheese, which had thick chunks of bacon mixed throughout and it was much better than expected thanks to the meatiness. There typically aren't sandwiches like lox bagels available. Tip 3: Highly recommend the hot coffee. It's their own blend that they get from a specialty roaster and it's got this mellow flavor without being bitter or sour. I needed to put in extra effort to get here, so I wouldn't come in every week. But it's a nice treat every other month. Other notes: Staff was very accommodating and patient, seemed happy to be there, and gave me great advice. Not a place to sit and eat, more of a grab-and-go.

Pre flight this morning after leaving home at 5 AM I was in search of a warm beverage and something…read moreto eat. I discovered this lovely coffee and bagel shop. A cute storefront with an odd doorway, very narrow and opens in striking those in line waiting to order. Once inside the decor was modest, no frills practical yet seemed like they opened prior to their scheduled official opening. There is an LGBT flag and other than that just the necessary items to function. It feels like the extremely large behind the counter space could be used to eliminate the guests being cramped into ordering and picking up area and getting struck by the awkward door. Maybe's brand new or they just haven't put any thought into the design. No lattes just drip coffee and tea options. Sign board looks 50 years old and definitely no frills. The counter person was friendly and smiling. There were just two staff, the counter and the person toasting and spreading the toppings on the bagels. There were some pastries that looked good. I didn't see and baking facilities so not certain about the origin of the bagels. There was great music playing, to be expected with the pride flag. I get the opinion the staff was having fun, they were pretty efficient, busy and a short wait to get your items, partly due to very few topping choices. This is the closest coffee shop to the Callowhill exit of SEPTA subway stop and the Greyhound bus stop, the coffee was good, fresh hot and flavorful. The bagel was bland, it did not taste like a pretzel or a bagel, maybe missing salt in the mix? It was also burnt so after eating it that burnt taste stayed with you. The bagel looked over cooked or burnt prior to being toasted. The cream cheese was alright nothing special. This experience felt like the shop is not their main focus in life. The price was reasonable, $10.80 pre tip. So if you want a plain cheap coffee or a pastry, I don't know their prices, my bagel w the special cream cheese was $7.00, it's a good option, just be careful not to get hit by the door while in line. Maybe the other bagels are good, the pastry area mentioned a bakery and they looked well made, like you find in one of those many options chain dessert shops.

The cafe is huge with plenty of space for hanging out, and the staff is super nice. Very generous and willing to answer questions. They go out of their way to make sure we're getting the best version of their food as possible, like offering to make things fresh or warm them up. I hadn't even thought to ask. I brought back the bf for a second time and he was so impressed he brought back simit (Turkish bagel) and acma (like a bagel shaped croissant) for his family. They all loved it! New favorite place to get Turkish breads outside of Turkey. It's also a good place for fresh gozleme. Other places we've been to don't do it quite right, like maybe not flaky pastry, not feta, etc. This one is on point.

I ordered a limeade and a blueberry lemon hand pie, and then I came back to order the mushroom and swiss hand pie since the blueberry lemon hand pie was so delicious. The limeade was a bit more sour than I preferred but the blueberry lemon pie had a sweet and fresh flavor because of the lemon. It wasn't too sweet though because of the tartness of the lemon and berries. When I tried the mushroom and swiss hand pie, the mushrooms gave a meaty taste and it was a bit salty but it was still tasty. It's also a good option for vegetarians since there isn't any meat. The cashier was nice and super friendly. They mentioned that the mushroom and swiss hand pie and potato and cheddar hand pie is their favorite. I would come back again! :)

At Tous Les Jours, they have trays with utensils that allows for you to pick your pastry and pay for it at the counter.
