Cake

We went here for breakfast on a Saturday morning with friends. They opened at 9 am, and we were there waiting when the doors opened. We were seated right away, and the service was excellent. There were many bakery items to choose from. I had a delicious blueberry cheese danish to start. I ordered the breakfast sandwich, which was huge. I wasn't expecting that. The side salad was delicious with a citrus dressing. The portions were large, and the service was great.

I love this place!! The vibe is so good, with great natural light and tons of greenery. The servers are very friendly. They don’t take reservations, but you can go and give them your name. Then they call you when it’s almost ready. There’s a great coffee place across the street to kill time. Definitely worth the wait! I highly recommend the quiches.

I was invited to attend brunch after church service with some friends. I am glad that I attended. The atmosphere of this refurbished green house now a restaurant was quaint. The food is delicious. I can see why this establishment is constantly busy. Kudos to Cake!

Probably one of the best salads I've ever had and had the pleasure of meeting the owner who is awesome! Beautiful environment too.

It’sa little slow but that’s explained by the fact that it’s packed and they’re freshly cooking your food. Dishes and pastries are excellent! Ambiance is wonderful! Def recommend this place

Came here for breakfast for our first visit, really enjoyed the frittata and quiche. Nice vibe but gets really noisy, perhaps better earlier. Service was great, lots of people buzzing around seeing if you need anything or refills. Would go again.

This place did a brilliant job of having very filling options on the menu that weren’t too heavy or calorie dense. This giant breakfast burrito was mainly filled with eggs and a little bit of refried beans. I left full but not feeling gross, which is a fine line to walk with a breakfast burrito. The lox and bagel was ordered by others at the table and it looked very similar - lots of of greens on the plate but they didn’t skimp on the lox or cream cheese. We all were glad to have picked this spot for our weekend brunch.

Arrived for a Saturday lunch, we had just missed the breakfast menu which is what we were craving but the food was still very tasty. The place is adorable, very cute vibes with the restaurant being in a renovated greenhouse with lots of plants everywhere and great lighting. But the place was well conditioned, very comfortable temperature. The food was good. I went with a smoked salmon BLT, which was unique and tasted surprisingly good. I would rather try some other items on the menu. The quiche was the star of the show though. I have had quiches before that are overcooked and gross. This one was cooked to perfection . The egg was light and fluffy and the brie added extra richness and creaminess. The crust was not soggy but firm to bite.

My fiancée asked me if I wanted to eat at Cake. I originally told her I didn't want to have dessert for brunch, so boy was I glad when this place also happened to serve really good food! This is definitely one of the coolest spots I've eaten at. The greenhouse-esque ambience brings in so much light and makes it feel like you're having an outdoor experience. Our waiter was very pleasant and was able to tell us about a variety of specials being offered. My turkey BLT was good-- nothing incredibly outstanding but just an overall solid sandwich. However, the quiche was really delicious. It was creamy and flavorful (asparagus, brie, and caramelized onions) with a crumbly, soft crust. Plan to come back to try more food and to have their dessert.

Cute spot with decently fast and friendly service. Love the ambient lighting and the greenhouse setting! My husband and I stopped in for Saturday lunch and were able to get a table within 20 minutes, which we spent perusing the bookstore around the corner. Once we sat down, we ordered a tuna sandwich with chips and a beet and citrus arugula salad with a side of grilled chicken. For the quality of the ingredients, portion size, and location, the price was reasonable. But the food itself was just fine. The tuna salad was a bit fishy, and otherwise pretty standard. The beet and citrus "salad" was more of a tower, and it tasted good but I wish they'd given more arugula. The grilled chicken had good flavor but was pretty dry. Still, overall, we enjoyed the meal and ended up finishing with a chocolate peanut butter tart, which was heavy, sweet, and satisfying.

The space is tight, but the food is so good you won't mind. Fantastic bakery section. I dare you not to get something. This is a go to place when your out and about, and want to grab some good wholesome food. I like this spot. Give it a try.

Cake anyone? High end pastries sure to put you in a great mood. Oh yea, they serve food too.

Hey, Yelp family! Now THIS review takes the cake! (pun intended) I can't begin to tell you how cozy and beautiful the ambiance here at Cake is. What impressed me the most is their intention of having windowpanes take up half of the space from the walls to the ceiling that radiate natural light. Top that off with beautiful large plants and a small water fountain in the middle of the cafe. That really makes you forget where you are in a good way. My favorite thing about the food was how well seasoned and crispy my potatoes were and how good the iced coffee was. My omelette was nice and fluffy and was just the right amount of food. Service was solid. I actually would be very interested to see how beautiful It would be in there while it's raining. I can't wait to come back and try some more of the dishes soon. Has anyone else been to Cake and what have you tried while there???

This cafe had a super cute interior! It felt like we were in a greenhouse. Our waiter was kind and the service was fast. My chicken wrap tasted fresh.

Tip: This place does not take reservation, only walk-in waitlist. We waited about an hour to get a table of four people for our Sunday brunch. So be aware of a long waiting time or get there early. The dining area is much smaller than we expected. People were really nice. Food portion is definitely worth the price! Their Ribeye steak & egg was our fav dish among the four dishes we ordered (breakfast plate, breakfast burrito, French toast). Another thing I really liked from here was their scramble eggs w/ cheese! Burrito was huge but the overall flavor of it was okay. French toast was soft but the portions of cream & berries were very small (mostly just bread & maple syrup). The downside about here were limited options of sweet brunch dishes (only French toast & Belgium waffle) and they only have plain/black coffee option.

Have your cake and eat it too! What a beautiful spot in Chestnut Hill! We stumbled upon this spot when we were out gallery viewing. It appears to have been a greenhouse at one point and now an adaptive use restaurant. We had a short wait on a weekend at lunch time. The server was very friendly and attentive to us. We were also amused by the gentleman at the table next to us who raved and raved about their hangar steak. Apparently, he often finds he's too late and it's sold out on the menu. My husband got their quiche special which was deep and full of goodies. I ordered the crab cake and really enjoyed it. We also split a key lime pie - YUM. I think their baking is probably their signature skillset. I would definitely go back here and highly recommend it. I think they probably take reservations and that would be a good idea. Great spot. Great service. Great ambiance.

My daughter & I popped in for lunch. They were bustling. It worth the wait. The service was attentive, cheerful and quick! Delicious, fresh salads & wraps. Bright, light atmosphere. Loved it!

I'm on 2 weeks vacation in Philly, found this place by my family. This place is super super nice to go for breakfast or brunch. It's a cute place, all glass windows and it looks clean and relaxing. Friendly staff. I ordered quinoa salad without orzo , added chicken on the side and chicken came out perfect no overcooked. I definitely be coming back Everything what I wanted! Highly recommended for everyone

Cake was soooo good. This is the cutest little breakfast and lunch restaurant. I came for breakfast around 9:40 a.m on a Saturday and was sat right away. Coffee was great and I tried the key lime pie and chocolate pecan pie and they were both to die for. The quiche du jour is also the way to go!!! Reasonable prices. Amazing food and attentive service. I will be back to try lunch stat!!

Had a great time checking out this spot in Chestnut Hill. Heard a lot of great things so got a reservation for brunch. Like most of the places in this part of Philly, the architecture is very pleasing. I believe this place was a greenhouse before being redesigned into a restaurant. The Breakfast Burrito I had was very filling and tasty. I was also surprised they had siracha on hand as there's a major shortage right now. Added that extra kick to the home fries that I love. Service was good but I give hats off to this unique environment Cake has created in the neighborhood. Perfect brunch spot, BYOB, classic menu. I'll be back for dessert.

What can I say I'm on a food tour ! This place was amazing I love the inside decor and how this restaurant is a converted greenhouse! I had the quiche de joir it was amazing! It was light and filling with great texture and taste. The crust was perfection and this dish was paired with a mixed green salad. My mom and daughter had the cheesesteak with kettle chips; of course i tasted it and it was good !!! The staff was so super friendly and accommodating! Definitely a gem of a find!

Such a beautiful space inside of a greenhouse. Fast and friendly service and all the ingredients taste so fresh and vibrant. Make sure you try some of their baked goods!

Great food, conversation impossible! Great salads, and waitstaff accomodating ! And, ohhhh, those desserts

I went here for brunch. It is definitely a hidden gem in Chestnut hill. The food and customer service were excellent. Nice menu selection and a nice cozy environment .

The food was very tasty and fresh. No condiments needed. The staff was friendly. Someone spoke to us as we entered and said hello. The server came over quickly to greet us at our table. The atmosphere is quiet and calming. The restaurant is in a green house. Such good lighting and very inviting. The wait for the food was a bit longer than we would've liked. Everything is made fresh to order. It was worth the wait. We cleaned our plates. I had coffee with my breakfast. My friend had tea. They have a wide variety of teas. Best part was that it was not expensive. The menu is simple yet refined. Definitely a must try. I will be returning to try more of the menu.

Light filled, former hothouse. Aromatic inducement to Glorious tastes. Everything fresh, everything delicious. Will return as soon as possible.

This place is perfect for a lunch date or a lunch/brunch hangout with friends. Anything I've ordered here never disappoints. The food is delicious and fresh, but specially their baked goods!

I often forget that Cake exists. For one, as a carless non-driver, getting to Chestnut Hill is akin to a quick trip to Mars for me. When my late friend Dee was alive, this was a place she often wanted us to frequent. Dee was a vegetarian who thought onions and garlic did not agree with her. Whenever we went out to eat, as we were perusing the menu, she would lean over, point to an item and whisper, "Do you think this has onions or garlic in it?!" I cooked for Dee often enough to know that her gastric woes were brought on by eating too much too fast rather than ingesting alliums, so unless the menu offering said something obvious, like 'onion rings,' I would assure her she'd be fine ordering-and, of course, she always was. So why Cake? I am not a lover or even a liker of traditional American breakfast and brunch food. The protein in eggs does not agree with me, pancakes bore me, waffles are best if they're in potato form as fries and anything with gravy of any color on it makes me want to get up and run. I haven't gone back to Cake for the food after my first visit; I return for the atmosphere. It's heavenly. Cake is in an atrium that was once a greenhouse for florists in the Chestnut Hill area. It's very Victorian in appearance and reminds me of The Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park only on a much smaller scale. It's airy, charming, light filled and bright, decorated with palms and a large working fountain. The splash, gurgle and whoosh of the water is soothing and calming as one sits in the sun, waiting for sustenance and caffeine. While Cake is just off Chestnut Hill's main cobbled street, it feels light years away from the big metropolis it is so close to and decades removed from the 21st century. There is nothing on the menu I'd go out of my way to recommend. That doesn't mean the food is dreary or bad. It's simply very average food. Let it be known that I'd rather break my fast with a masala dosa or a plate of Vietnamese crispy garlic cat fish, so please take that into consideration as you read. Nothing to be found that's innovative or eye brow raising on the breakfast, brunch or lunch menus-scrambles, French toast, scones, frittata, quiche, a breakfast burrito, things with lox, salads, grilled cheese and a few types of burgers and standard sandwiches. Typical fare though fresh, prettily presented and portioned generously so you will not leave disgruntled or hungry. The service is efficient and friendly. I think the plants and the healing negative ions in the air from the fountain keep everyone-staff and diners-in fine spirits. I could be content and fulfilled any time, sitting in this atrium for hours, drinking pots of tea, picking at scones and having a long, delightfully hazy, uncontrolled mental zone. It's a restaurant, though, not a stay all day, faffing around online coffee shop and tables must be turned over in a timely fashion to make money, thus I have never worn out my welcome here. I have, however, frequently fantasized about getting "accidentally" locked in and spending the night under a palm, listening to the fountain, getting dozy and dreamy as I watched moonlight streaming in through the soaring atrium windows. Cake is also a bakery which makes custom cakes to order from 6 to 10 inches. Cake does not take reservations and there is often an hour wait on weekends so plan accordingly. If your week's been harried, if you feel a need to escape the city but lack time and money, Cake is a great, graceful and affordable getaway to temporarily fix what is ailing you,

Absolutely delightful! The atmosphere and food for dining in is great. Their desserts and bakery case is superb. I recommend the Turkey tartine sandwich. Baked turkey breast meat on raisin walnut toast with fig jam then melted under brie with sliced granny Smith apples. Served with petit salad, simply marvelous house made Cole slaw or kettle chips. All beverages delightful. Service is warm and friendly. Costs very reasonable. Great for meeting a friend or enjoy with family.

Food, services and ambience are all great! One of our favorite restaurants to eat at whenever we get a chance to go.

Cake is incredible! Both the food and service are 10/10. I've had their quiche and French toast and both were absolutely delicious. Portions are great and the price isn't bad at all. Very relaxing atmosphere. All the servers are friendly, yet quick. We will keep going back!

Wonderful atmosphere; the French toast was great and so fresh. The service was also timely and attentive. My class mate wasn't excited about the cool temperature of her steak; they were very accommodating with cooking it longer. No complaints. We also went around the corner for margaritas look for my review. The whole day was fabulous!

We drove 1/2 hour to have lunch before they closed at 2:30. When we walked in, at 2:20, the lady in the counter said, "you have to be here before 2:00" if you want to eat." I told her that I thought when your hours are posted you are open, you're open, and when you're are posted you're closed, you're closed. Oh well....just a PSA for those who may be cutting it close to closing.

We went for a little walk and shop at chestnut hill outside of Philadelphia. We've heard of Cake so decided to stop by. It is a little small without any outdoor seating (at least when we went) so if you're worried about dining in, I'd recommend getting takeout. The wait is also to be expected. Kinda wish they had outdoor but the decor in the interior was beautiful and so tropical/green house vibes . It was a chilly day so I got the grilled cheese and tomato soup- it was 10/10. They had pesto in their grilled cheese which was an amaaaazzingg touch. Make sure to grab some of the cupcakes before you leave! They were the perfect amount of fluffy and sweet.

I consistently have great meals here. The staff is super friendly and I absolutely love the atmosphere. The greenhouse environment and the art on the walls makes for a great brunch aesthetic I got the Sunday frittata and it came with breakfast potatoes and multigrain toast. I also asked if they could make tea lattes which they couldn't because they didn't have the proper machine but she brought me tea and warmed up milk so that I could make my own which I appreciated.

Food is delicious! Service was fantastic very friendly. Ambiance is epic. We love Cale

Awesome little spot in Chestnut Hill. Sandwiches are good. The space is awesome. Big greenhouse room is so beautiful, my kids love this place to come and look around. Then when you are done you can pop into the flower shop and the store. Baked goods are always a nice treat after lunch. Have to come here for breakfast.

Initially, thought this place might only be a dessert place. Then we looked and found they served breakfast. The coffee and food was delicious. We got the brioche French toast, the breakfast plate, side of cheesy eggs for toddler (adult serving), and lox plate. The service was good. Took awhile for our food, but worth the wait. The place was not overcrowded and not loud. I would go again!

I was just there on Saturday I had the sausage quiche and salad service is always good and it's a nice restaurant to bring your friends

The service was excellent and quick. Food fresh and delicious. The ambiance is beautifully surrounded by greenhouse glass and fresh greenery. It's perfect for a date or a small family meal.

You know - I was a bit disappointed with my trip to Cake, which is sad because this spot has been on my list for a while. I'm a huge plant girl and a huge brunch girl - so brunch in a greenhouse has me so sold. I will say my first qualm is no reservations. I will never understand this - aykm? Pros: aesthetic, brie cheese appetizer, BYOB!, the cute little store attached Cons: not a wide breakfast selection, when we came something was up with the coffee machine - it was down, service was not great, I didn't love the breakfast burrito In all, I don't think I would come back. This is like the poor man's Terrain. The neighborhood is super cute, so while you are waiting your 45+ minutes because they don't take ressy's, you'll have a lot to do in the surrounding neighborhood.

Great place, great staff!. it's a fixture of the community. Good people. Good location.

One of my favorite spots for brunch or bakery sweets! I love the coffee cake. It gets crowded on weekends.

We were staying in the area and discovered Cake on our first morning. Great food, excellent bakery and gorgeous atmosphere. We also ordered a cake from the bakery and sampled several other baked goods. We loved it so much that we went back for brunch on our final day before heading out.

Such a cute and delicious place for brunch! We went on a Sunday so wait was about 45 min but you can walk around the cute shops while waiting. Our food was all delicious like the French toast and crab cake eggs. They can also make a kids version that is smaller and cheaper. Don't forget to get one of their delicious desserts too. Definitely recommend!

Both the atmosphere and food at this quaint old flower shop/greenhouse turned cafe were divine! Pro tip- this is a crowd favorite in Germantown/Chestnut Hill so go early. We got there right when it opened and within minutes it was full! They do not take reservations so get there ahead of the crowd. The food was simple and tasty with large portions. Very friendly staff. Would try one of the cakes or baked goods next time!

Best breakfast in Chestnut Hill. My wife and I came here today and everything was excellent. The wife had the French toast. I had the breakfast burrito and we shared the raspberry biscuit. The service was really good. The staff seems to work as a team. Everyone is sweet and happy. The place is beautiful and there's just a good vibe. 5 stars!

Delicious and fresh breakfast offerings. Friendly and engaging waitstaff. Love the converted greenhouse. Quaint and cozy.

Beautiful restaurant that had the best quiche I've ever eaten! Good selection of pastries/desserts as well.

My friend and I had reservations for breakfast, and it would have been a great experience had the waitress not ask us to leave after an hour and a half. We had our meal and then coffees afterwards, talking and catching up, when the waitress came to us (two black women)and asked us to leave (because there were customers waiting to be seated)...there was no "seating limit" policy posted anywhere. Not to mention there was a group who were seated BEFORE us, who were not asked to leave (a group of white people)...I was very humiliated and I will not be returning.

Cake is the cutest little spot in Chestnut Hill. Located in an old greenhouse and attached to a florist/boutique shop. When you walk in to your left you have the bakery filled with pastry's, slices of bread, tarts and cupcakes. All range from $2.50 - $6 each. I took a fruit tart and chocolate tart to go, because DUH. The fruit tart was good. The perfect ratio of tar, filling, and fruit. The chocolate tart on the other hand was less than desirable. It's a chocolate crust with a pile high whipped chocolate topping. That's it. I thought it was filled with ganache or something, but it wasn't filled with nothing. Overall it was just an "ok"' dessert. I will not order it again though. For brunch we had the breakfast frittata (served with hash browns and your choice of toast) and brioche french toast (served with strawberries and syrup). My french toast was so filling and not too sweet. The fritatta was HUGE. I swear we packed about 2/3 of it home. The portions here are hefty. Service here is great as well. They offer free coffee refills and they don't pressure you to "eat and leave" to fill in the seats. Be warned: this place is popular. It opens at 10am on Sunday and I got there at 9:52am with a line out the door. My only complaint though would be to not sit parties who are not all present. When your restaurant is so popular and you have someone just sitting at a table "waiting on a friend" it really is inefficient and takes up time when you could have a full party from your wait-list already seated.

This place is good looking and has good food. Inside you feel like you are in a Longwood Gardens greenhouse and it's awesome. I tried the quiche of the day and it was the best dang quiche I have ever had. The waitress was super nice and attentive and everything came out prompt. 10/10 will be returning.

Dined here for brunch on 6/15 arrived a little after 10 AM. There was about a 20 min wait for a party of 2. We were seated in the middle of the restaurant. This restaurant is a green house with a water fountain in the middle and greenery as the back drop. There is a bakery case where varies pastries that are made fresh daily are housed. Service was prompt & efficient. I ordered the Garden Frittata: broccoli, plum tomato, smoked Gouda, toast & house salad. Definitely come here if your in the area.

I ordered a dozen croissants for $36. They were boxed and waiting for me. Got them home and they look and taste burned. Couldn't serve them to my guests. This is my second bad experience at Cake. I brought my parents, visiting from out of town, for breakfast. My dad got the breakfast burrito and the mound of guacamole that came with it was old, hard and dark brown on the inside. The manager apologized and didn't charge him for his coffee for the "inconvenience." Shouldn't charge anything for rotted food. Lack of quality control and pride in what Cake serves is readily apparent.

I have no idea why I haven't written a 10 star review of cake yet. This is our hands down number one go to place to bring out of town guests when we're looking for an awesome Sunday brunch. It's BYO, they have amazing staff, and there is a gift store that you can spend all of your dollars at during the wait (there is always a wait- go with it. It's a good sign and it's worth it). We once had a situation where a group of gals took our name and place in line and we ended up needing to wait another 20 minutes or so and the manager was so apologetic and made it right which I really appreciate because it was not her mistake and she didn't need to. Everything that we've ever had has been incredible and I'm always looking for the next excuse to go back

What an incredibly cute spot in the quaint neighborhood of Chestnut Hill! I really wanted to order the French Toast but also a savory plate so our server suggested we order a half serving to share so that we can both have savory dishes too and it was the perfect amount!! The Honey-Peach Butter was so so good. I think they change the French Toast a bit each season so check their menu before you expect the same topping. As for savory, I got the Sunny Side Eggs that were topped on top of 2 toasted brioche with sautéed spinach and melted Swiss cheese... are you drooling yet... And my friend got the Breakfast Plate. We bought two tarts from the bakery to go and oooh they were so yummy. Not too sweet so it was a perfect pairing with some iced coffee We came for Saturday brunch at 11 and we actually didn't have to wait long at all to my surprise. I love all the natural lighting the greenhouse windows bring in and it's a perfect brunch spot for this season. All the servers were so kind, friendly, and helpful. Would love to come back if I'm ever in the area!
