Café Walnut

"Calling this layered beauty just another meat, egg, and cheese sandwich is like calling the Rocky Steps some stairwell in Fairmount. The specialty at this Korean spot in Center City is an unforgettable bulgogi, egg, and cheese sandwich. We get it on an everything bagel, and the collision of salty, melted cheddar, buttery fried egg, and sweet stir fried beef runs through every crevice. If you’ve ever wondered just how excellent a bagel sandwich can be, start at this shop. And you only have to spend $6.55 to find the answer. " - candis mclean, alison kessler

"The Meal: Bulgogi, Egg, and Cheese, $6.55 You just had to have those $500 headphones because your inner, impulsive child whispered that you need to “study” sound. So for the next month, a night out will be streaming Grey’s Anatomy’s 100th season with $5 wine. But your morning can be filled with this cheesy, eggy, and sweet beef masterpiece. The Center City spot has a breakfast sandwich to end all breakfast sandwiches (especially when it’s on an everything bagel). And since you have those headphones now, you can blast sad songs anytime you eat anything else. " - candis mclean

"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" - Candis R.
