This place was fantastic. I love the atmosphere of the cool little neighborhood breakfast spot. Right on the corner, like the proletariat bars of old. The four of us found the Dutch on Yelp, and headed there from our hotel in Philly. It reminded my wife and I of some of the neighborhood spots. We enjoyed so much in our own town of Baltimore. The waitress, JENN, was fantastic. I think she had every table, but every employee were doing their part. The chef must handpick the ingredients, because everything was fresh and delicious. My wife and I each had a special pressed fruit drink to start, and it was a perfect appetizer if you will. Very refreshing and energizing. The food was amazing. I had the mushroom omelette. The mushrooms were very fresh and not overcooked. The omelette was thick, but not foamy. All of the ingredients were handled with care on the inside. The taste of truffles was a nice addition. My wife had the salmon omelette, and it was out of this world. Possibly the best omelette I've ever tasted. She agreed. Delicate, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. One of our boys had a huge waffle covered in fresh berries, and just the right amount of whipped cream. He said it was the best waffle he ever had, and I have to agree. Light and fluffy and sweet, he didn't even add syrup. Perfect. Our other son had the double cheeseburger. Again, cooked perfectly, and the avocado was very fresh and an excellent addition. When we are in Philly again, this will be our breakfast spot. An absolute pleasure dining here. I highly recommend. read more

Finally tried this place and had a pretty good time! Waitress was attentive and kept a light hearted tone despite clearly being super busy. Food was fine and the speed of the service was similar. I wish the potatoes were less salty and had more flavor and I prefer my omelettes to be cooked with the vegetables imbedded in the eggs without the vegetables sitting inside the egg like a taco. (This version did somewhere between the two). However, I would return to get more breakfast basics. I have had Dutch pancakes that pack more flavor but no ones complaining! My friends had never had them before so I was a bit disappointed because I really hyped them up to be a great standalone pancake however they had a great time once they put syrup on theirs! Overall will be back. read more

Food - absolutely delicious. I dream about that pancake and I'm normally someone who likes a thinner/crispy cake and this fluffy bad boy blew my mind. I was even willing to eat it without syrup because it was so good The Reuben literally melted in my mouth and truly satisfied my yearly craving for a corn beef sandwich. The tables are rather small so fitting everything was a little difficult for two greedy gals but we made it work! They have a bar that's open for the entire time they are so I'm VERY much looking for to during a proper brunch with my girls. The music was good, not too quiet and not too loud, love all of the windows and natural lighting. read more

This place was the beginning and end to our vacation. The food was amazing. Group of 5 and then 9 so we tried many different menu items. I got the bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese and tomato. The bagel was perfect and tons of toppings. One of the kids had the Dutch baby and thought it was fantastic. If you want a cool varied menu you really should try this place. The service was excellent! read more

Small and cute. Quiet place to have a tasty filling breakfast. The cappuccino and latte were great. The chicken and corn muffin waffle is crispy, boneless thigh meat. The maple gravy on the side is perfect. The side of sausage was full of flavor, hint of spice without being overly salty. The sweet Dutch baby was everything I wanted it to be. It was like a brioche bun and a pancake had a baby. The staff were friendly and attentive. Our waitress was very welcoming. Highly recommend this place and look forward to visiting again. read more

Small like someone's living room but decent with a bar. Good amount of food choices for breakfast or lunch. Great coffee with free refills. Excellent customer service.

We love doing Brunch and a Flight Attendant friend of our son recommended this restaurant as a must go to for Brunch and it did not disappoint. The food was out of this world. Chicken was tender and breading was delicious. The steak was cooked to perfection and had the right amount of seasoning. The eggs benedict was so unusual and tasty. The service was impeccable and wait staff came by frequently to check on us. Restaurant has a very trendy vibe and was a great place for Brunch. Only wish they had more outdoor seating as it was a gorgeous day in Philly. This is a Must dine experience if you find yourself in Philly. Would highly recommend read more

"Wednesday" was my server (Halloween costume) and she took really good care of me. It's a bustling cafe with a bar and a great brunch menu.

I went with a few friends to eat and catch up. We finished our meals and the server abruptly asked us to leave without a crumb of tact. Literally done so immediately after signing the check (with tip). She appeared annoyed and told us that she needs to seat a table of 5. Very rude demeanor. I suppose the 3 empty tables nears us would not have sufficed. Oh and the chorizo was flavorless. read more

I try to come here as often as I can on the weekends because they have the BEST chicken and waffles that I've had in Philly so far. The only issue is they only serve it as a special on the weekends. They change how they do it every weekend it seems but the end result is a plate full of deliciousness and greatness lol. The first time I came it was basically a Thanksgiving themed chicken and waffles and I died from the joy lol. The service is great just be mindful of the space. They place is small and cozy so if you dont come early you'll be waiting a while for a table. I definitely reccomend. read more

Absolutely looooved this spot and can't wait to go back. We came because of the Dutch Babies on the menu, and then didn't even get them because other things looked so good. They had a special on Challah French Toast that day, so we opted for that instead of a Dutch Baby (but will definitely go back for one in the future) and it was delicious. My favorite of the two dishes we got though was the eggs Benedict - probably one of the best Eggs Bennies I've ever had. The chipped beef and the sauce was just amazing. Service was super friendly and prompt, and the space is very cute. I can't wait to go back! read more

I finally made my way to The Dutch this week after creating a book mark for this place way back when. I can thank Fox 29's feature, which mentioned the special "Soul Food" dinner for the reminder that I needed to make a dinner reservation ASAP. Unfortunately, I was a little too late for the soul food dinner as the early reservations were sold out. I opted for a Friday evening reservation instead. I was greeted by a friendly young woman upon arriving who advised I could choose my seat. I decided to sit near the window at one of the tall tables. The dining room is a quaint, warm and welcoming. The hostess provided menus with "Happy Hour Specials" and I was OVERJOYED to hear there were two items still available from the soul food dinner. Thus, I decided to try the short rib mac n cheese for my appetizer(still available from the soul food dinner) , the steak frites for my entree and the banana pudding (still available from the soul food dinner) for dessert. I also had the blood orange mojito for my drink. I'm going to skip straight to the food bc that's probably why you are reading this review. Haha. The short rib mac n cheese was incredible!!! The short rib was seasoned and flavorful. It paired perfectly with the mac n cheese. I could taste the smokiness of the short rib in the mac n cheese and I loved it! Next up, the steak frites. Now, this steak rivaled some of the steaks I have enjoyed at the high end steak houses all over. It was a simple skirt steak, but it also was seasoned to perfection. I didn't need to add or subtract a single thing from it. The frites were fresh, hot and nicely done. Now, for dessert. The banana pudding parfait was light and delightful. It was topped off with some sort of butter cookie that I couldn't get enough of. The cream/pudding was fresh, airy and perfect. It wasn't too sweet and I didn't feel overwhelming full after finishing it. I'd like to wrap up this review by saying my Dutch experience was top notch and I can't wait to make my way back to enjoy more dining options. read more

Gave this spot a try after walking past it a few times. Overall, I was underwhelmed. The fries were soggy and not seasoned. My fried chicken was good but the sandwich was meh. My partner did not like their food much either. It was a cold day and with people coming to add themself to the waitlist, the door was constantly open allowing a frigid draft. The space was crammed and it felt like the emphasis was on turning people over, not promoting a quality experience. Would not recommend. read more

Interesting little place in the heart of South Philly. we went with several very different items, The Veggie Dutch, the Lebanese Salami and cream chesse omelet, and the truffle mushroom omelet. All was good and different and will come back to try the great looking pancakes! Service was a little slow as it is a small place and two front staff members. The bar out front takes a lot of space , if it was nice out, we would have sat in the outside space out front. read more

Dutch Babies! I've been hankering for a savory version. Can't get them back home, only the sweet ones. These were perfect, airy, light, decadent, and delicious! We had a veggie one as well as the savory Dutch Baby. Loved them both but I favor the Veggie just a tad more. The location is on a quaint corner and you can tell that on the weekends it is probably packed. For a Wednesday morning, it was busy but we didn't have to wait for a seat. Go and enjoy! read more

I've heard so many good things about the Dutch. I wanted to try for myself. The actual restaurant is beautiful. There's a place for outside seating and many tables inside. I would recommend going with a Group between two and six. It's a little tight inside. It might be hard to fit a bigger group. The menu was a pretty standard breakfast menu from sweet and savory options. The bacon was great, but the potatoes fell short to me they were not crispy at all. I was a little bit disappointed in our service while at the Dutch I felt very rushed and wasn't offered explanations for the menu from the server when asked. read more

I've only been here a few times, but the food has always been super yummy. The place is small but cozy. Serving sizes are nice and big as well. My biggest gripes are the wait times. It's never taken less than 40 min to get a meal here, which feels like eternity when you have hungry kids. The staff seems stressed and overwhelmed even when the space isn't packed. Not our favorite option, but a good backup. read more

Asked for a table of 3 and was waiting on 1 more person to arrive (which would have taken less than 5 minutes). The lady refused to sit us and we had to wait even longer to be seated. When asked why, she was rude and just said that's how's we do it. read more

Great coffee, great service, and great food. I wish the dutch baby was a little bit sweeter or had more fruit, but overall really enjoyable. Also, I wish they had reservations. I tried to make one on their website but it seems like their system is no longer working. That was kind of a bummer read more

Expensive Brunch in the Heart of East Passyunk I've been eyeing this spot now for a while because I've heard of their dutch babies and I live pretty close by. We went during a heat advisory and hoped to block out the sun in the comfort of the indoor seating. The dutch babies ended up not really seeming too appealing to me, so we ended up ordering some other brunch foods. Vibes - 3/5 I thought the vibes of the restaurant were okay. We were seated in a small high table near the door. The restaurant seemed very small on the inside, with the bar taking up most of the room when entering. They have some outdoor seating arrangements outside, which looked decent enough. The decor was very simple, and the colors were plain. There wasn't any music playing, just the chatter of everyone in the small restaurant. Eggs Benedict on a Buttermilk Biscuit - 2/5 The pickled string beans were pretty good in the dish, and it's something unique that I've never had in a eggs benedict dish before. However the dish lost major points for the hollandaise, which tasted like straight up butter (which confuses be because hollandaise isn't supposed to have butter in it?). The biscuit was okay, but the potatoes could have used a lot more seasoning. Savory Scallion Waffle - 4/5 This dish I thought was very interesting and was really looking forward to trying it out. The corned beef gravy tasted very good and paired well with the waffle. The waffle was your standard waffle, nothing to write home about, and was on the softer side. The dish would be good to split 4 ways though in my opinion, because I thought eating just half was very heavy. Overall, I don't think I'd be coming back here for brunch ever again. Philly has a plethora of brunch spots for a fraction of the price I spent here. Personally, for the quality of food you're getting here, I think the food's overpriced. However, I will be looking to attend their dinner tasting menu in the near future, so I'm hoping that experience will be much better. read more

Excellent service and cozy environment. I recently came here with family for Sunday brunch and we had a very pleasant time. I read up about their menu and noticed they have these very unique waffle/pancakes filled with different food options. I went with a sweet and savory waffle served with sausage and maple syrup. I also got a side of scrapple! You gotta be from Philly to appreciate good scrapple!! The coffee was piping hot and we got refills. We also ordered the French Toast with fruit, berries and whipped cream. The staff were all welcoming. Side-note: We called a few days ahead to get an idea of the wait time or if reservations were required, no rsvp required for brunch. There was a bit of a wait, but we were well aware of that. Parking was complicated. I had to park 6 blocks away. read more

Pretty good. I certainly wouldn't say that The Dutch is mind-blowing or life-altering. I would probably say that it is a fairly standard, millennial brunch spot. Which is to say that it is slightly overpriced food in a somewhat uncomfortable dining room (see small). I had the ana banana pancakes. They were a bit bland. Huge though. Good value for the money. Everyone else enjoyed their food (veggie hash, chicken & waffles, baby dutch), and the coffee was warm. Service was pretty good! People were friendly and accommodating and quick. Overall? 3.5* rounding up. Comes up a bit short in the comfort area and flavor of food, but otherwise it is an absolutely fine place to grab some brunch. read more

The Dutch is a hidden gem of South Philly. I stopped in while in town for a conference and had the most delicious savory Dutch Baby pancake.

While it was busy, it moved fast and was definitely worth the wait. read more

The food here is so delicious! I have been wanting to come for a while, but every-time I've walked by it has been on a weekend and there has been a long line. The food does take longer than some other restaurants, so if you are in a rush, this is definitely not the place for you. The menu had a nice variety of options to please many palates. I tried the sweet Dutch and we tried two of the omelettes. The ingredients tasted so fresh in the omelettes. The food arrived at the perfect temperate and the eggs were cooked perfectly. They have a cute indoor setup with probably 10 seats around a bar and maybe about 12 tables. They also have outdoor covered seating. read more

My friend and I wanted to come here for brunch on a Saturday but when we checked earlier in the week, there weren't any reservations available. We decided to wing it with a walk-in and were actually seated pretty quickly, although the place was obviously packed. My friend ordered the chicken and waffles. I got a veggie dutch baby and we got the pumpkin pancakes to share. Everything was amazing. I had never had a savory dutch baby before but it was the perfect way to change up the usual brunch fare. The servers were nice, too- but I have to note that the service was super slow. I think it took 30-40 minutes for our dishes to come out. Still- I'll definitely be back here. It's earned a solid spot in my regular rotation of brunch spots. read more

The Dutch was luckily open for weekday brunch after my plan A fell through, and I'm so glad they were! My friend and I visited at around 10:30AM on a Wednesday, and we were pleased to find easy parking and zero wait for a table. The restaurant is in a cute stretch on Passyunk, located right on the corner so it's easy to find. The vibe is very much so Dutch - lots of wood with ornate detailing and bright colors with flowers. Really unique and charming! We were seated by a window, which let in some lovely natural light and allowed for people watching. The menu was fairly large for a weekday brunch menu, which made the decision a touch difficult. My friend and I both ultimately decided that at a place name "The Dutch," one needs to indulge in the Dutch Baby, so we each got the sweet version with fresh fruit added. Once the arrived, we were amazed by the presentation - the fruit truly made it shine. The dish was quite large (I only ate half, although probably could have done more if I tried!), but the pancake was fairly light and airy as I would expect. At $16, it was a reasonable price for the quality and quantity and for the experience. My friend and I took our time dining, and our server kindly gave us space and didn't rush us at all (but also made sure we were appropriately cared for). As mentioned, the menu had a lot of good options, so I would definitely be interested to re-visit and try the savory Dutch baby, an omelete (Bologna or mushroom), the Uitsmijter (dippy eggs with gouda), or a more savory lunch option. I also didn't get any beverage during this visit, so I would love to try a cocktail or other drink next time. The Dutch made for a wonderful weekday brunch, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a more unique take on breakfast in a cute spot! read more

Food was good - average brunch spot. Avocado toast was okay, I was not expecting a raw tomato with no salt or pepper on the toast (menu does say tomato but I thought it would be seasoned). The egg white omelette was B+, not over the top amazing but very good. Chorizo hash was tasty, well proportioned and would order again. Drinks were good - peach Bellini and bloody Mary's (a tad kick - which was great!) There are other local spots that I would want to try before dining here again. We asked to be seated outside and unfortunately it smelt like urine, even our waitress smelt it. She was so nice and let us move tables but you could still smell it lingering which made eating an interesting experience. Overall the team and service here was great! Food was good, and ambiance was okay minus the pee smell. read more

I used to love this place. In 2023 it was fantastic, great vibe fun atmosphere, and great food. Unfortunately that's not where we're at right now. Even dishes that I liked consistently have gone substantially downhill. More so, the service has become very spotty and makes me not wanna go there anymore even though I live in the neighborhood. We had a bad experience the last two times that we were there and gave it more than six months to see if they fixed themselves. It's actually gotten worse. And this is probably the last time I'll be there I got the chorizo hash, which I used to get all the time. And today I couldn't even finish 50% of it. It just wasn't good and the flavor was off. The waitress saw that I left more than that and didn't even ask how it was. I was also trying to give her my order, and she cut me off each time as I was trying to articulate my preferences. Threw me off. The young man who is working today was exceptionally polite and was the high point of the experience. Unfortunately not enough to make me go back. And my wife decided to give up on The Dutch about six months ago. read more

We took an Uber to get to this little quaint spot which was about 15-20 minutes and about 30-45 min on foot from our hotel. I looked this place up, and it gave off some European vibes. I thought since it was called the Dutch, that they served items similar to the food in the Netherlands, and they are not far from a previous spot we dined at a few months back. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, and again we chose indoor. The server greeted us immediately and let us pick our own section. We ordered two coffees. After looking at the specials which are posted on the wall on butcher's paper, and the menu, we both decided on the two different types of the Dutch Baby, which is like a pancake with various fillings/toppings. Mine cane with fruit, and for an additional cost, extra fruit plus a side of bacon. Hubby had his with meat and egg inside. Coffee was okay. The ambiance was quaint, and there is artwork displayed on the walls that are available for sale. There is one single restroom. Overall, the food packed flavor and reasonably priced. read more

Decided to come here for last minute brunch with my girl and it was our first time trying a Dutch baby. It was new to us, but we like it. It tastes like bread omelette topped with scallions, kielbasa (ham-like) and powdered sugar. We had a savory Dutch baby, the saltiness with sweetness blended so well together. Just added some maple syrup, it was delicious! I would like to try the sweet Dutch baby next! My overall experience here is great. This place is absolutely adorable on the inside. I love the nature vibes. Great services! Staffs are very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for breakfast or brunch if you're in South Philly! read more

tl;dr a quaint Pennsport cafe offering a European spin on breakfast staples The Dutch stands out along an otherwise unassuming row of brick townhouses. The bright blue trim along this corner cafe beckons you forth, and the aromas of breakfast fare keep your mouth watering until your own plates arrive. The minimalistic decor and pastel accents feel distinctly European, and the fortunate orientation of the shop keeps outdoor diners shady for the morning meals. Tables are first-come, first-serve, and plan to have your entire party at the door. Menus are available via QR code attached to each table. My partner and I arrived just before 10AM on a weekend and were immediately seated. However, just 15 minutes later, a queue started to form. We shared the Sweet Dutch Baby and the Savory Scallion Waffle. The Dutch baby, originating from a German pancake dish, sported the size/appearance of an American pancake with the thin crispiness/flavor of a crepe. Topped with assorted berries with a side of pure maple syrup, the Dutch baby was perfectly sweet without any overpowering, sugary gimmicks. Meanwhile, The waffle was slathered with creamed chipped beef. The creamy béchamel-style sauce, tastefully peppery, was similar to Southern-style gravy. While delicious, the waffle felt weirdly small for the price. Apart from promptly bringing us our check and ushering us out from our table, service was disinterested at best. The food overall was comforting and yummy. But at $35 for two dishes, prices felt a tad high. While I was pleased to give The Dutch a try, I don't anticipate going out of my way to dine here in the future. read more
