Lorraine A.

This is the best coffee shop in Philly! Discovered this gem of a coffee shop while staying in the area. Everything about this place is everything. Starting off, the mood and the vibe of this shop is so zen and amazing. The comfy music that is played, the low lightening and the beautiful decor sets a beautiful mood, especially in the morning. Service is amazing!! All the staff are wonderful people and I really enjoyed the conversations I had with them. Everything I had was delicious but my favorite was the caramel iced latte. Was delicious and put other shops I've been to shame. I will definitely be back and highly recommend!

Mocha - one of the best I ever had.

I tried their walnut cappuccino the other day and now I love not one but two of their drinks: their mocha being the other one. The mug was rimmed with some sort of syrup and crushed walnuts so with eat sip of the cappuccino, you get the slightly sweet, nutty flavor of the walnuts.

Time & Peace Café is a small & delightful coffee shop with a yummy breakfast menu for sitting and relaxing or on the go tourists. I really enjoyed and highly recommend!!

Cute little cafe, feels a bit backward in time and you're entering someone's home. They offered to toast the almond croissant which was good but I was a bit disappointed by the macchiato coffee. It was in a super tiny cup, maybe had 3 sips, no flavor, alas, I missed my usual coffee spot.

Solid coffee shop with a good amount of seating for the size of the cafe. It is quite dark in there which is nice if you're looking for something with more cozy/comfy vibes. I got their "cinnamon roll" when I was studying there, but found out it was actually a cinnamon croissant with raisins in it. The croissant was pretty flakey and buttery.

Great Style, great coffee, warm and cozy. I like the historical feelings! Great place to read and work! Neighborhood friendly

Iced salted caramel latte

Walk to fast and you'll miss it, but in this very homely coffee house with low lighting and books covering the walls, there's some fantastic coffee and food! Service - super nice and on top of everything! Coffee - delicious and unique flavors within the drinks. It took a little bit of time, but was definitely well worth it. Food - While I wasn't a huge fan of my bagel, the pastries were very good (cheese danish and cinnamon roll) Definitely a try among all of the coffee houses around. It is something unique and also quiet. If you are looking for more of a relaxing and subtle shop, this is the way to go!

Time & Peace Cafe is a cozy cafe and art gallery in the heart of Philly featuring soft lights, art, music, books, and board games. The ambiance is seriously serene; it's hard to imagine that a place like this exists amid today's hustle and bustle. We stopped by on a rainy Saturday morning for coffee and tried their Iced Honey Cinnamon Latte and Iced Walnut Cappuccino. Both were fantastic-- the Honey Cinnamon Latte was sweet, smooth, and creamy, while the Walnut Cappuccino was rich and fragrant with finely chopped walnuts. The staff were very sweet and meticulous too. My partner and I ordered large and regular-sized drinks, respectively, and the barista kindly let us know that both would be served in the same-sized cups, with the large filled to the rim and the regular filled to the line. **20% off your order if you check in on Yelp!

Front window, before the crowd arrived. Lots of seating behind.

Great name! Great coffees! Great vibes! Wonderful place with a home feel in heart of city. Loved the personalized service.

Love their Royal blue door

Love the ambiance and watching them make the drink right there in front of you. Service is great and although not pictured, their pastries hit the spot too:

Great cafe with great coffee. I like the space too. It's kind of rustic yet cozy. I also loved the fact that you can come here and swap books. Great place for a book date or even to simply hang out. I cant wait to make my way back here!

We found this place on Yelp and decided to stop by. This coffee shop is downtown in the middle of everything. It's a small little coffee shop with dim lighting. As soon as you walk in there's the menu and you order the drink. Behind there it's the tables. There's books and board games. The girls who were working were helpful and patient with us. I ordered a latte. It was good and service was good. Overall good experience!

Salted caramel latte-extra hot
Tanvi G.

This is a really cozy cafe with a dimly lit interior and quiet music. I like the interior decor with bookshelves. It's a good place to get work done and enjoy one of their drinks. I always get the walnut maple latte which is delicious. Lining the rim with walnuts is a really nice touch and elevates the drink! I've also tried the salted caramel latte which is a delicious drink as well.

I've only ever ordered takeout from here, but it's been EXCELLENT every time. The kale caesar…read morecutlet is a sandwich I dream of and crave every time I'm away from Philly. The bread is fresh, Caesar dressing is incredibly creamy, and the cutlet is just perfectly crispy and juicy. The order always comes out on time. Even when the shop is bustling with the lunch rush. I'm very impressed with this small space and the volume they're able to churn out.

I came here hearing some decent things about this place. Wow. Exceeded my expectations…read more Cutlets were nice and crisp on both. The bread was a fantastic choice. Not tough but a nice, soft seeded sub roll. Seeing it arrive was a little overwhelming but I kinda thought the thing was light and was easy to finish off 1/2. The Fig and Pig - the fig jam was outstanding. Great sweetness with the saltiness from the prosciutto and then to top it off, the crunch of the cutlets. Excellent. As I was leaving, I saw a cutlet, with mutz, broccoli rabe, and roasted red peppers. I WILL be back for that. That looked amazing. Service was very friendly, prompt. We sat down and within a few minutes, our sandwiches came out. Looks like they were working on takeout / delivery orders and I thought, oh crap, am i behind all of that. But I guess they were either done or they prioritize the tables. Place was small but at 2:30 or so, it had a couple of tables open. They had tables outside but a little warm and in the sun for that. Well done, Liberty Kitchen!

Great quality crafted creative sandwiches. The absolute best is their cheesesteak. You will wake up…read morecraving another one. House made, superior lightly truffles cheese sauce is what whiz wishes it was. Very rich. You may want to share. Fries are $7 but large portion -- also share. Live that they have great quality beverages to match great sandwiches. That is, Maine Root sodas (LOVE the Sasparilla) or Joe's iced tea. (I like black, unsweetened to balance the richness of the sandwich.) Cozy but comfy seating with raw real wood banquets and tables. Even when crowded, a table will come available by the time your order is ready. Good turn over. Pleasant, helpful staff. Order from the back, pay, seat yourself, and they'll call you up or deliver to your table.

There's not a whole lot of space, and you probably won't be able to bring a large party in here more 4-6 people. But if you're dining in in a smaller group, you should have a good time. They keep things relatively clean. I personally lean on the cheesesteak purist side of the scale, and so although this cheesesteak tastes pretty darn good, I am of the opinion that most things that you slap truffle on will instantly be above average good, just because it tastes like truffle. Otherwise, the cheesesteak here is pretty close to slightly above average-- and personally I'd spend my money elsewhere if it weren't for the novelty. Otherwise, the roast pork here is underrated and overshadowed by its truffle cousin. Grab that if you get overpowered by truffle flavor easily. To-go orders have been consistently on time and ready once I arrived. Would gladly order here again, but would definitely prefer something pure, ex. without truffle.

The only place I can compare it to is the former Wolfie's on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. It…read moreserved a large Jewish community very well until it closed back in 2002. But, I must tell you... Hershel's Corned Beef Reuben was way better than any sandwich I ever had there. The cut of meat is thicker and the portion sizes are huge. My husband thinks he heard the guy say it was three-quarters of a pound of corned beef. I believe it because it definitely felt like there was at least 6 ounces on my half of the sandwich. I'm glad we decided to split it. It was totally worth the price that we paid for it. We arrived around 4:00 pm on a Thursday. It was busy at the market, but not as busy as it was on Saturday. We were tossed between the Reuben and the Rachel. The difference is that the Rachel has cole slaw instead of sauerkraut. I don't think you can go wrong either way. It didn't take long for the order to be ready. The service was great. They split the sandwiches and wrapped them individually. We each got a pickle spear. We didn't have to go too far to find seats. They have bar seating along the back counter that's specifically for their customers. The Reuben was very tasty. I even liked the pickle. I think they have desserts, but we had no room for it. I'd love to return one day to try their pastrami, and maybe even the breakfast. I wish we would have had more time to try one of these sandwiches on Challah bread. The menu has a little something for anyone craving a Jewish style deli experience. It's worth a visit when at Reading Terminal Market.

Corned beef on rye- Potato knish…read moreCorned beef was tender and tasty- seeded rye was old and couldn't hold up to the meat without tearing. Potato knish was not even warm- ask RUDE COUNTER STAFF if they could heat it up- I was told it is warm comes right out of a warmer- I said don't care where it's coming from it's NOT HOT can you please heat it up- nothing!!!

I recently had a couple of great lunches here. I found parking along Wolf Street with no problem…read more The inside was clean and the staff was friendly. They serve you fresh waster (Drinks to order include Hanks, Boylan's, Harney and Sons, Teas etc.) and will serve you at the table or you can walk up and order at the counter. Their menu has a great mix of deli, steak, "chicken" steak, meatball, sausage and cutlet sandwiches with interesting flavor combos. You can also get breakfast (till 11AM) or a salad. They also have sides that include - tots, fried pickle chips, onion rings, fries, fried mozzarella and Zayda's pickle spears, chips and cherry pepper shooters. They have a couple of vegan options and GF rolls for extra $$. The staff was more than happy to give recommendations and their favs. My first lunch was The Eye - $15 Ribeye steak, Cooper Sharp American, fried onions came on a seeded Liscio's roll. If you enjoy the somewhat newer Cooper sharp style that's out there you'll like theirs. The Cooper sharp was gooey, mixed in well with the meat and on the heavier side. The ribeye was thin cut, delicious and the portion was pretty hefty. Second visit I went with - The Nad - $15 Chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, Mike's Hot Honey that came on an unseeded Liscio's roll. The portion size was good, chicken was fresh with good breading, the hot honey was a tad on the heavy side, but the flavors all came together pretty good on this one. Sweet, salty, light bitterness from the arugula and some heat from the hot honey. I added Thin Cut Idaho fries to make it a combo for $3 extra and I have to say they were delicious. They smelled like McD's and tasted similar. They are cash only, but have an ATM on site. You can use a card if you order online. The one bathroom they have was pretty clean and organized. I will certainly stop back for a visit if I'm in the area to try out more of their menu. Thanks guys!

I placed an order online for pickup from Nipotina. I ordered The Eye(Ribeye steak, Cooper Sharp…read moreAmerican, fried onions, salt, pepper, ketchup, and mayo) for $15. This was one of the best cheesesteaks that I have had in awhile. I was pleasantly surprised and will order from here again.
