"Cafe Lift, a hip coffee-forward location in a converted industrial warehouse by the rail park, is known for its photogenic breakfasts. Enjoy dishes like eggs Benedict, toasts, and decadent crespelles, or Italian-style crepes, starting at 8 a.m. every day." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme, Eater Staff
"Café Lift serves an all-day menu of indulgent brunch creations. Think: a cheesesteak topped with a runny egg on a pretzel roll, chorizo-topped huevos rancheros, and French toast that features challah, bananas, chocolate, pistachios, and a ricotta cannoli filling. Go to its website to order pickup or delivery, or dine at its outdoor streetery." - Jillian Wilson
"With a slogan like “Brunch All Day Everyday” you know you’re in for a treat. Café Lift has perfected the brunch game. Lemon Ricotta pancakes? Sold. Do we need to say more?" - True Hand Society
"While this infamous breakfast and brunch spot upgraded to a larger and more modern space prominently in 2023 (there is also a location in Haddonfield, NJ), it still serves its menu of comforting favorites that built its loyal fan base for over two decades. Fans of sweet and savory meals will love the Jersey Madame, a flavor-packed dish featuring a stack of buttermilk pancakes topped with a sunny-side-up egg, pork roll, and Swiss cheese." - George Banks-Weston
"Head to Callowhill’s Cafe Lift any morning and you’ll find a lot of people waiting for cannoli french toast in the art-filled industrial space. But if your office is closed for the day, or you’ve decided to call in “sick,” there’s nowhere better to take advantage of the rare weekday brunch. They have a menu of decadent dishes like lemon ricotta pancakes, apple cider chicken salad, and an egg cheesesteak that stacks slices of ribeye, caramelized onions, American cheese, and a fried egg on a warm pretzel bun. They serve breakfast food every day until 3pm—especially important to note since they’re a BYO and don’t take reservations." - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler
