I want to start by saying this is the best vegan breakfast place I ever stumbled on while on my trip to South Philly. This place is not only a small friendly neighborhood vibe with the perfect number of limited seating. They make all there pastries on site plus their coffee and breakfast are top tier. My fiancé and I got the brown sugar ice coffee and iced rose chia tea and it blew our mind, It was really really really good. Then we had the French toast and pancakes and it was delightful. Sides were the breakfast sausage and home fries. Fries you can tell are fresh not frozen. 10 out of 10. Even if you are not looking for vegan options this place will feel your needs. Thanks to the staff for an amazing experience.

Stopped in here during my first visit to Philly and I haven't stopped thinking about it since! It's small but cozy inside. I got there a little after they opened and got a table right away. The staff were super friendly. I had a hard time deciding what to get because everything sounded amazing, but opted for one of their specials- a Pumpkin Spice Hallowaffle! I also got a side of tempeh bacon and homefries, and a pumpkin spice latte. The food and overall experience was a 10/10. I'm dying to go back to Philly just to eat here again!

3/5 - If you're not vegan then I'd say come here for the experience not the food We were in the area looking for a brunch spot nearby to grab-and-go some takeout, and this place showed up after looking around for a bit. It worked out as this place is currently take-out only and doesn't provide any eat-in dining options. It was in walking distance to where we were going to eat anyways so I figured why not? Before rating the food, I just want to make mention that I'm not vegan or vegetarian. I've had a lot of good vegan food on the west coast though and I dabble with frozen non-meat alternatives (shout-out to Aldi's). Breakfast Burrito Deluxe: Probably my favorite thing we ordered. The spicy mayo on top was really good, and the overall presentation of the dish was very nice. It tasted okay. I couldn't taste the "meat" very well though because the flavor of the tofu was very strong. It came with a side of fries, but they were pretty bad. The larger pieces weren't boiled all the way leaving them pretty dry and unpleasant to chew on. They didn't taste like they were seasoned either. Dirty Jersey: I'd hard pass on this one. I didn't enjoy it at all. It had this mushy texture in my mouth that made me feel unpleasant. It's not how a sandwich usually feels like in your mouth. I wasn't a fan of the tofu they had in the sandwich, and the "meat" was not to my liking either. My partner thought it was pretty good though and actually liked it more than the breakfast burrito. Passion Fruit Hibiscus Tea: It was pretty refreshing, although the flavor of hibiscus is pretty strong in this be warned. Chai Latte with Almond Milk: This was a pretty good chai latte. I read a review on here claiming to be the best chai latte in Philly; let's not get ahead of ourselves. It was good but I definitely wouldn't say it's anywhere near being the best. I'd come back here to order another chai latte though if I was in the mood. The service here was excellent. The woman working was very polite over the phone and she handed us our drinks while we waited for the food to be prepared. There's a nice little bench outside the restaurant to relax on (it does look like it's falling apart though so it might not be there anymore at the time you're reading this review). The window decorations are quirky and funny, and I appreciated the inclusivity posters they had displayed. The Tasty is not a place I'd recommend for their food if you're not vegan. Their drinks might be worthwhile checking out though. The surrounding area is nice and there are good vibes. Take a stroll with a drink but skip out on a meal.

Yes, it tasted as good as it looks!

After deciding to detox from my pescatarian diet for the first month of the year, I find myself on month four of a vegan lifestyle. The big test- how would I be able to continue this "commitment" while traveling. The city of brotherly love did not disappoint. I started off with breakfast at The Tasty. Takeout is the only option at this time from Wednesday- Sunday; however after waiting on hold for almost 15 minutes, I had an inkling it would be worth it. Jackpot! The home fries with added onions and peppers were cooked perfect. Not greasy and tons of flavor. The jewel of my meal was by far the biscuits and bayou gravy. Spicy heat, vegan sausage, and flavorful with each bite. I was in heaven! Never would I have imagined vegan biscuits and gravy would challenge the same version made traditionally. I will most certainly be back to sample the cornucopia of breakfast options at The Tasty!

biscuits with bacon gravy
Allie R.

i come so often that they know my order! slightly embarrassing but a testament to my love for their biscuits (i get the bacon gravy). great lattes too- i love when they do housemade syrups!! every employee is so sweet and they all seem to love working there. such a cute diner interior, as well!! they have the vinyl booths and everything. not a lot of seating, so i imagine there would be long waits on weekends, but i've never had an issue getting a spot on a weekday. highly recommend!!

Chicken and waffles
Jada G.

I am IN LOVE with this place. I'm not exclusively vegan but I'm pretty flexible and have a few intolerances so it's nice to have the option. You can sit down but you can tell management thought about how to keep overhead low to keep prices down, so you have to bus your own table and you pick up your food from the kitchen yourself in addition to seating yourself. I kinda like it but I can see where people might take advantage. The chicken and waffles was awesome, the breakfast tacos were super delicious, and the cold brew was real cold brew and not iced coffee! And getting oat milk at the fixings station? Holy crap, this should be industry standard. I can see why this place gets so crowded and I can't believe it's taken me so long to get here.

Fall French toast

I got the Fall French Toast the flavor was on point; however for me I am a texture person so I didn't really eat it because the bread was soggier then I could stand so I just ate the toppings, the sausage was great!!! I really think y'all will enjoy this dish so give it a try. I thought the coffee could have been hotter but I seam to have that problem from time to time The service was really good Oh and leave a NICE note or drawing

Buffalo Chix cheesesteak and waffle fries!
Di H.

Awesome Vegan restaurant! Customer service was spectacular even thought the place was packed... entire team was hustling and super friendly. Menu has a great variety. We had the Monte Cristo and the Buffalo cheese Steak- Delicious!Coffee and Lattes were great as well. Make sure you get some baked goods from the counter. We bought one of each that day and they were all great. Keep in mind the place is super small, so you may have to wait. Have to say it was worth the wait! Fun, funky and delicious! It's like this hidden gem.

Strawberry donut

French toast, breakfast sandwiches, tater tots, home fries and donuts. Soooo good! All vegan and delicious! You can call ahead most days (weekdays) for pick-up orders. No delivery.

When we arrived I walked through the door and was immediately told that the line would need to wait outside. While it still seemed to be space inside. While I do understand that the business is only so large and they need to seat people as seating is available this was really off putting and made me no longer want to even eat here. Not taking those immediate biases and annoyance that I developed into the restaraunt with me ... I was open minded and ready to chow down. Walked up to the counter. I ordered the quesadillas which where a special offered item. The service is pretty much self service. Once you've completed your entrees you take your food to a designated bus station area. Definitely gives you the small town local diner feel. Aside from the few annoyances. I would certainly come back !

Sausage and spinach
Angela B.

A friend described this as "artful tofu" which I think is a great description. It's Tasty tofu, too (pun intended). Friendly staff. Call ahead for quick pick up, dine in still closed.

I assume all the cheese is vegan. Is that correct? Also, what is the brand of fake meat? Is it impossible? Beyond?

Everything here is vegan. I’m not sure what the fake meat is. I don’t buy that.

Would this be an okay place to come and work for a few hours on a weekday afternoon?

No, seating is limited and this place gets packed even on weekdays. Once you're done your food you're suppose to get up so other people can sit down and enjoy! :)

Do they still offer mozzarella sticks?

Once in a while they offer mozzarella sticks as a special but it's not a regular menu item.

The inside is really modern and aesthetic, while still giving off a cozy cafe feel. Service was nothing crazy, but nothing bad either. The Yemenite Latte was a 4/10 for me. The flavor was spot on and tasted like milk with Yemeni spices and just a hint of espresso. I really wish the espresso came through more because I think that would've made it perfect. The Pistachio Sticky Bun was an 8/10 and definitely worth the hype. It was served warm and had the soft, pillowy texture of a cinnamon roll, but with a syrupy pistachio flavor. It practically melts in your mouth. The Grilled Cheese Jerusalem Bagel was basically a grilled cheese, but I loved the thin, slightly crisp shell and all the sesame seeds on the bagel. The cheese had almost a pimento cheese flavor, which I really liked. 9/10.

Our server Rachel was lovely and gave us a rundown of their specials and the menu's top hits. Our drink selections ranged from as boring as a Diet Coke to as fun as a seasonal lemonade. We were all content with our choices, though we puttered around making suggestions from their large drink menu. I typically go for a savory breakfast, but the stuffed brioche French toast was speaking to me. I can never turn down banana! The rest of our table ordered avocado toast (x2) and fried eggs with bacon. Everyone was really happy with their choices and an added bonus was that our food came out quickly.

Luckily, we found street parking right next to the restaurant, which was a nice surprise. When we arrived, the wait for a table of three was about 45 minutes. That's somewhat expected for a popular brunch spot on a weekend. Once seated, the service was prompt. Our waiter stopped by quickly with waters and took good care of us throughout the meal. I ordered the House Angus Burger with sweet potato fries. It was solid, flavorful, and definitely filling. My friend got the Bella Vista Omelet with home fries, and we both agreed that while the food was good, it felt like standard brunch fare rather than anything particularly memorable. Based on the long wait and the hype surrounding Sabrina's, I think we were expecting the food to really stand out. In my opinion, the dishes we tried were comparable to what you'd find at a quality chain brunch spot like First Watch. That's not necessarily a bad thing, the food was satisfying, but it didn't quite justify the lengthy wait. That said, the menu has plenty of more unique and creative options that we didn't try. I'd be open to coming back and ordering one of those specialty dishes next time. Overall, I left satisfied with the meal and service.

I made a reservation online on OpenTable. We arrived earlier than our reservation slot so we were able to walk around and take pics. Unfortunately on the night we went it was super cloudy and had been raining so the views weren't nearly as good as they could have been. There's a grand staircase that walks down into an even bigger and more open area. Up first, was a $9 hot chocolate and a $23 Bluecoat (Dirty Martini with blue cheese olives). The martini was perfect, exactly how I like it with tiny slivers of ice shards. Second, I had a $30 Gold Espresso Martini with vodka. It was also perfect. Probably the prettiest espresso martini I've ever been served. The leaf design in your drink is pretty sweet. Tons of dates here, anniversaries, vacationers, and people super dressed up. Most certainly look your best if you decide to come. Next time I'm in Philly, I'll certainly be back!
