A plan to visit another highly rated area coffee shop was jettisoned for reasons (filth, crowds and cold environ) that I'd rather not detail here. In the fly, we found Tuscany Cafe and WOW what a great find it was! Small, but comfy. Quiet, but classic jazzy. The drip coffee was fresh, hot and STRONG. My companion's Cortado was strong and good too. Love the Turkish pottery for sale. Artful, like everything done in the space. Well done, highly recommended. read more

Tuscany Cafe - Clean and tasteful space - Cafes Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This review is based on one experience at Tuscany Cafe. My husband and I went one morning on April 21st, looking for food and coffee before our closing nearby. With our coffee and tea, we ordered an avocado toast with a side of bacon. There was no one in the cafe (as it was fairly early) and we were able to get seats at the narrow bar. About 10 - 15 minutes later a plate of avocado toast and scrambled eggs came out. I waited a few more minutes before asking, "Is the bacon coming out?"...The guy at the counter (stocky, facial hair) said "No", and turned away to ignore me. Again, the place was completely empty except us. I let it ago for some time, thinking he was just having a bad day, but now I find his rudeness unacceptable. Things he could have asked: "Did you order bacon?" "Is everything alright with your order?" "Is everything Ok?" To be clear, mistakes happen and I'm not upset about that. I ordered avocado toast with a side of bacon and received a side of scrambled eggs. It's not a big deal. I'm pissed this person made no attempt to address the situation (when it was clear I thought bacon was coming) and deliberately turned around to ignore me. Whether or not he'a having a bad day, it's bad customer service and I didn't receive what I paid for. read more

Tuscany Cafe is a tinyyyyyy little spot tucked into a large apartment complex on Locust. The space can fit about 6 people inside so the line typically goes a bit out the door. They have a small high top bar you can sit at, but it's so cramped in there, I wouldn't recommend it. They have a standard drink menu with a few rotational seasonal special drinks. Their food menu includes a handful of sandwich's and melts, but their are fairly costly, even given the location. While expensive, the Tuscany morning sandwich with pesto and mozzarella was incredible! The staff is friendly and everything came out great, but I'd likely hit a different spot if I saw a line running around the corner. read more

Cute little coffee shop, really meant to be a to go spot , but there are a few seats. Small operation, so be patient, but the coffee and breakfast sandwich are really good. I got a baklava latte and a breakfast croissant with egg and cheese. The coffee was nutty, smooth, with just a hint of sweetness. The croissant was fresh and flaky and the eggs were fluffy. read more

Really cute area! I've walked by so many times and had a moment to grab breakfast there! The store itself is super small so definitely a grab and go vibe. The coffee was super good! The food portions are pretty small but the ingredients were fresh. I post ~$40 for 2 drinks and sandwiches- which I will say are a bit pricey for the size but it was good! read more

A solid cafe, tiny but good coffee This is a quick review, because this is a quick spot. There's enough room for 4-6 people at most. The menu is standard for a coffee place, and the service is speedy. The coffee was good, was balanced, not too sweet and not too bitter. It's a good spot to drop by and pick up a cup of coffee. It's good if your around the area read more

Tuscany Cafe - Bagel Egg sandwich with Meat&Cheese - Cafes Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Unfortunately not a good experience for me. Would like to preface my review by saying that the server and barista were nice. Their lattes on the other hand were really bad. Very watered down. They put very little milk, it was like drinking iced black coffee. Got the rose vanilla and pistachio baklava lattes and could barely taste the flavors. Didn't finish mine. Plain butter croissant and avocado toast were good. read more

We stopped in for brunch after a weekend run workout. I was initially shocked at how small it was as I thought it was more of a sit down place. While they do have limited (like 4 or 5) seating, it primarily is a take out place. Do NOT hold that against them as both takeout and dine in food is A-Maz-ing! I went with the Caprese Avocado Toast and a large tea. Very fresh ingredients. Clearly patiently assembled. Most importantly, tasty! The chai tea had a hint of cinnamon and was served in a nice big cup at just right temperature. They do not really have "table service", again think limited seating. However, the staff behind the counter are patient, friendly, and polite. After enjoying my meal, I got something extra to-go! As such, I clearly recommend you stop by. I know I'll be back again soon. read more

very cute (but small) cafe with delish drinks and super yummy pastries, staff was VERY kind!

A small quaint café designed for grab and go patrons with limited seating (like 3). Their offering includes the standard caffeinated beverages and a host of breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Sesame bagel with scrambled eggs - Pretty standard. Lots of eggs, would recommend if you hungry. Latte - was more on the liquidy side with a rich coffee flavour, was pretty good. Bonus came in a cute dove cup! read more

Great owners, cute little spot, yummy food and delicious drinks. I went for my birthday and sat there for a while and I still think about it to this day read more

I was visiting Philly for a staff retreat and I remembered Sicily Cafe because of good experience last year when I grabbed a cup yogurt with fruit and granola. I was hoping they were still there on this work visit! I called on the phone and asked if they could have a a mocha (made with soy milk) ready for me in 20 minutes since I was running late and the staff person was friendly and let me know that was possible! Upon arrival, my latte was extra warm as I like it. On the second day in Philly, I ordered a chai latte (prepared with black tea) and got an almond pastry to go. Excellent customer service for these to go items both times! read more

(Reposting bc I'm not sure it went through) I found this place during a quick weekend trip. From the specialty menu, I got the Eggplant Panini with chicken added on. I also had the house blend chai latte. The workers were also very friendly. The interior was very cozy with very limited seating. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting. I wish I could take this spot home with me, so I could have more eggplant paninis They also sell these cute Turkish mugs read more

Underwhelmed by it all. Went here based on yelp reviews and won't return. Coffee was average at best, service mediocre and the muffin I had was likely from Costco. read more

It's a cute small spot, with a little bistro table outside and a few bad seats inside. I was excited to try the breakfast sandwich with egg and cheese on a croissant and it was excellent!! I also got a special from their coffee menu - rose and vanilla latte, and it was also delicious. The 2 employees who were working at the time were really nice and the music and ambiance inside was peaceful. I'll definitely be back! read more

Food is great and prices are super reasonable. Staff is very friendly but they are definitely overworked having to do so much in such a small space with few people. Outside seating actually felt pretty nice, and I was glad I was able to take my dog. read more

Got two iced teas here. One black and one green. The black iced tea was pretty good but the green iced tea was lacking flavor. Service was good. Tiny tiny place with a few seats inside and some seats outside. If you sit inside you will be side by side with someone waiting in line... not very comfy. read more

We had breakfast at this location. Coffee was excellent. The sandwich was on point and we really enjoyed it. My son had egg and cheese on a croissant. He also really enjoyed it. read more

Small place limited seating. Good breakfast sandwiches. Good coffee. Friendly service. I'd go back.

Tried three different lattes (rose vanilla, almond brown sugar, and chocolate hazelnut). I would like to echo the sentiments of the review above me - they had barely any flavor, felt a bit watered down, and were expensive We also tried the chicken caesar sandwich, caprese sandwich with chicken, and the avocado toast. The sandwiches were ok. If I were to ever go back I would probably only get the avocado toast read more

Caprese bagel was DELICIOUS. 10/10. Everything I dreamed of and more. Shared a Belgian chocolate mousse with a friend- also lovely. Friendly quick service!

One man shop for coffee and quick breakfast items. I mean literally, I saw only one man working! It was a tiny shop, barely could fit 2 people inside.
