    Cucumber refresher
    Reviewguru C.

    Great ambience and service. We went for a late night visit for a coffee. Ended up getting summer refresher drinks. We got English garden ( gin) and cucumber refresher. Had lobster rolls and fries to go. The vibe is cool, relaxing wirh a lot of green!

    Shrimp & Blue Crab Bucatini: green garlic butter, fresh scallions, and spicy Calabrian chili oil
    Josh S.

    I've been to Terrain a few times over the past several months. It took a few visits to figure out whether I liked the restaurant or not. This wasn't because of poor service or bad food, because those are both pretty good. This was really just due to the atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, it's a newer building and well-maintained (and clean). But gives me "Tea Room" vibes from the colors to the plants. With that said, I won't let this affect my review. Our last visit was on Saturday night. It was a strange night because on Sunday, we were set to be hit with snowstorm Fern. You could tell that people were bracing for what would come. To me, it was very reminiscent of just before the lockdowns for COVID-19 in 2020. Anyways, moving on from my memories of that! We sat at the bar, which is always my favorite seat in any restaurant, but we don't do much as normally we have our six-year old son with us. Not tonight! There were two (or maybe three) bartenders. It's a large bar, probably about 20 seats, and at 4:30 pm, they were all open but 2. We started with a few cocktails, an Espresso Martini for my wife and the Torched Orange Negroni for me. The drinks were good...the Negroni was too good and went down too quickly; time to switch to beer I guess. For appetizers, we ordered the Fried Cauliflower: crispy cauliflower tossed in pastrami spice, served with tangy mustard aioli; and the Artisanal Cheese Board: a curated selection of local cheeses, tangy pickles, fresh fruit, sweet preserves, crunchy crostini, and golden honey (and yes, we added the prosciutto for $4 more). The cauliflower was pretty good; it wasn't breaded, which I was happy about, and both the spice and aioli added good flavor and contrast. It wasn't that hot, but I didn't think anything of that (more on this later). The cheeseboard was larger than I expected. Several mixed berries, five different (large pieces) of cheese, the priscuotto, and some crackers. All good. The crackers were probably the highlight and the most disappointing item. They were very good, heavily flavored with rosemary and the perfect crunch and salt. But, they overpowered the delicate cheeses. My wife likes a cracker with some cheese, but in this case, we just ate them separately (still very good). For entrees, my wife ordered the Shrimp and Blue Crab Bucatini: green garlic butter, fresh scallions, and spicy Calabrian chili oil; and I ordered the Terrain Burger: 8 oz. grass-fed beef, Cabot Creamery white cheddar, sweet balsamic onion jam, brioche bun, simply dressed greens, with an egg (cooked to order over easy) and bacon. And since we were facing the snowpocalypse, I ordered the Truffle and Pecorino Fries for an upcharge instead of the normal salad that comes with it (more tea room vibes here?). My wife's plate looked very good, and I'm always happy to see when a pasta dish with seafood isn't ruined with a heavy red sauce. Instead, a light butter sauce complements the light flavors of the seafood. My wife took a bite and said, "Whoa, that's spicy," but the subsequent bites showed that perhaps she had the only Calabrian chili in the first bite, and it was not mixed through. She did mention to me that her food was just lukewarm (cauliflower flashback?). I briefly wrote this off because sometimes she likes her food far too hot (temperature)...but maybe she was right. I was first surprised when mine arrived. I was expecting fries doused with fake truffle oil and some grated pecorino on top. Instead, I saw fries that had a truffle cheese grated on them, not quite melted yet. It honestly tasted good and was a good change. But it wouldn't melt; my wife was correct with the food being lukewarm. My fries were cool, so the cheese never melted, and the burger seemed cool too. Now, that aside, the burger was cooked to a perfect medium and was seasoned well. It was good! All in all, it is a good restaurant. It's a little on the high end price-wise for what you get, but it is a good change. I will return and think about my Tea Room fears as I hopefully enjoy another meal at the bar.

    Terrain Café is such a charming and unique spot--part café, part garden boutique, and fully magical, especially with the holiday decorations. The ambiance feels like stepping into a cozy winter greenhouse with warm string lights, greenery, and rustic wooden decor. It's visually stunning and perfect for a relaxing brunch or a special occasion. I ordered coffee and a mixed dessert board, and everything was beautifully plated and well balanced--not overly sweet, with nice variety. The latte had smooth foam with a delicate finish, and the macarons, cookies, and mini pastries were fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and attentive without feeling rushed. The attached retail space is also worth browsing--lots of seasonal décor, lights, wreaths, and unique home items that feel thoughtfully curated. Overall, Terrain Café offers a memorable dining experience with great food and a magical greenhouse aesthetic. Definitely recommend for brunch, coffee dates, or anyone who loves beautifully designed spaces.

    Cold Brew

    Cold brew with whole milk was practically water. Couldn't taste the coffee at all. So bad we just threw it out. What a shame, beautiful place but not worth it.

    Sea Salt Caramel Latte
    Nicholas P.

    Went here for brunch with my family. We made a reservation the day before and were able to get a spot. The building is really cool and the shop out back is worth the trip alone. Our server was very attentive and came over immediately and took our drink orders and explained a bit about the restaurant/menu. I got the salted caramel latte and a beer. The latte was delicious! The bread and butter that were brought to the table to start were very fresh and really good! For food, I ordered the eggs and short rib and the French fries with truffle cheddar. The server also brought the caper aioli as well to dip in and that was wonderful with the fries. My meal was very good. The egg was poached perfectly and the short rib was so tender it was falling apart. The potatoes were also deliciously seasoned. The fries were crispy and were devoured by the entire table. For dessert, we all split the boudino and chocolate terrarium. Both were really good and a nice end to our meal. Overall great experience in a beautiful building.

    Such a cute spot!!! The service was amazing, our server was so kind and attentive. The food was okay. We got the salmon toast, harvest bowl, and omelette. It was good for the one time experience since it was a little pricey, but overall it was decent! Not sure if I would come back, but I loved the interior and vibe.

    The cafe has a very cute seasonal vibe. I would rate the food a 6 out of 10. I feel like I need to try other items on the menu to get a better idea. The flower pot bread was delicious, especially with the hibiscus or dragon fruit butter. However, the pot pie needed more chicken and flavor. Our server, Paris, was sweet and helpful throughout our visit.

    Olivia is an absolutely delightful soul! So wonderfully attentive to our table, and her recommendations were spot on splendid! I really enjoyed my mushroom soup !! And the omelette with the side salad was so delicious !!!! The atmosphere was so upbeat and it's just so delightful to be around all the beautiful colorful springtime, flowers, and plants in this wonderful terrain !! I look forward to coming back soon !!

    Rolled lasagna
    Bori K.

    The host and waiters are very nice. Food is absolutely amazing. They have a store you can look around and shop in in the restaurants. All their vegetables are grown by the university next door. I got the rolled lasagna. All though it was delicious they could have added more sauce to it. It was bare in the middle. And my salmon was undercooked. ​

    Recently had dinner here and it was one of the most unique, delicious meals I've had. The quinoa fritters are a must, the seared salmon was incredible, and the cocktails were next‑level. Top‑notch atmosphere and service.

    Bad food. Food wasn't seasoned. Bad service. Waiter did not check in on us or ask to get us more drinks. Would not recommend.

    Do they have large round tables?

    I don't think so Mostly long rectangle tables for groups

Although it is clearly a beloved neighborhood cafe, our experience did not shine as bright for us as we had hoped. A fun twist of events we actually had an "Aunt Judy" sighting while we were dining. She popped in briefly, was immediately greeted by the locals and disappeared as quickly as she arrived. It added a personal touch and put a face to the place. Adorned in Phillies regalia Aunt Judy's shows the marks of years of patronage. The creaky floors, chipped paint and well worn furniture show this place is a staple of the community and definitely well loved by the locals The food was only average and the service although friendly lacked the attentiveness we typically experience eating out. While I am glad we got to check it out, I'm doubtful we will make the trip to visit again. Judging by the steady stream of regulars it will be there for years to come.

The only caveat is that the dining area is small and can get loud. The meal came quick. We ordered a Caprese Salad which was great. The mozzerella tasted good and the tomatoes were red and fresh. The balsamic they used was also top rate. They split the order in 2 and served on separate plates which wa since so we wife and I did not argue about who got more. For the main cause, I had Poppy's Chicken which is always good. I like food a little spicy and this meets that bill. The sausage on top of the chicken is actually a little hot (spicy). Sometimes dishes like this do not have as much topping as I like. in this case it was perfect. Finally for dessert, we had the Barry callout chocolate cake. People in the US do not realize how good of chocolate Callout makes but you can taste it in the cake. The final good word is that this is a BYOB establishment, and we like that too because wine is always so overpriced. The bottom line is that we will continue coming here for special occasions. The food and atmosphere is great.
