"Café La Maude is one of the best places you can spend a morning in Philly. This French-Lebanese BYOB serves everything from lemon ricotta pancakes topped with poached apples and caramel sauce to brisket huevos rancheros, along with La Colombe coffee, and they do it seven days a week. On the weekend, you’ll likely spend at least 45 minutes waiting for a table, so come on a random Wednesday when you’re supposed to be at a “doctors appointment” instead to avoid the lines." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"Sure, Cafe La Maude is a go-to for aromatic red shakshuka or brisket huevos rancheros. But the French-Lebanese brunch master is also a mandatory destination when you want dessert for breakfast. Several of their dishes fall into this category, but the best one is the tower of red velvet tiramisu pancakes. Thick layers of mascarpone are spread between fluffy, ruby red pancakes, all topped with whipped cream and crumbly ladyfinger cookies. And if you need a savory, za’atar-topped dish as the main event, just grab an order for the table." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"Cafe La Maude kind of looks like a French bistro and has a few tables outside for when it’s nice out. The menu at this Northern Liberties spot leans Lebanese and Mediterranean with everything from a green shakshuka and baklawa pancakes to petit steak and eggs. It’s BYOB and they don’t take reservations, but there’s a plant shop next door that you can explore while you wait and daydream about the brisket huevos rancheros." - alison kessler, candis mclean

"Open daily from 8 a.m., Cafe La Maude is a legendary destination that brings the energy of a Parisian hideaway to Northern Liberties. It showcases a beloved menu of French and Lebanese-influenced dishes. The cafe doesn’t take reservations, but shakshuka and red velvet tiramisu pancakes are worth any wait." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
