Cafe Walnut - Review - Center City - Philadelphia - The Infatuation
"Cafe Walnut is a Korean shop in Center City that has one of our favorite breakfast sandwiches in the city. You'll have to walk downstairs to grab a coffee, $5 sweet tangy kimchi onigiri, or the bulgogi beef, egg, and cheese. It’s a sweet and gooey breakfast sandwich to end all breakfast sandwiches (especially when it’s on an everything bagel). Almost everything on the menu is under $10, so you can safely head upstairs to their art-filled dining space and work all day (they have free Wi-Fi) without breaking the bank. photo credit: GAB BONGHI photo credit: GAB BONGHI Pause Unmute Food Rundown Honey Yuzu Tea If this was just a regular sweet, honey tea, we'd be happy. But the yuzu addition gives it a citrusy, floral note that we don't get anywhere else in town.

So simple. So satisfying. You’ll never look at bulgogi the same again. photo credit: GAB BONGHI Spicy Pork, Egg, And Cheese The chunks of pork, fried egg, melted cheddar, and flaky croissant exist in perfect harmony. Your morning will be empty without it. photo credit: GAB BONGHI Samgak Kimbap They rotate the onigiri here daily and they go for $4—until they sell out, which is often. We've had the spicy tuna, soy marinated chicken, and kimchi (made by the owner's mother). And each rice-packed triangle is an indulgent win. PlayMute video credit: CANDIS R. MCLEAN" - Candis R.
