The first thing noticed entering Coffee House Too was how the people working there embrace your presence. From Josh the manager, to Channelle (#5) our server, right to the guy bussing the tables, everyone made a nearly superhuman effort to welcome us and show something of their personalities. Under some circumstances that could have felt cloying, but with these folk it was totally genuine and not overdone.
The dining area was up a narrow steep flight of stairs with the names of Philly neighborhoods written on the risers. Good idea for keep our eyes where we were walking to avoid missteps. The second story was bright with windows facing east, and yellow/gold painted walls all around. Lots of chachkas and potted plants. Channelle was to us in a blink, offering great coffee and mimosas/bloodies/orange juice. The breakfast menu was a large page with their signature dishes - Hangover Sandwiches, Regular Breakfast Egg Sandies, Omelets, Waffles, etc. Even before ordering a Pastrami Omelet and Original Hangover creation, we received two homemade muffins compliments of the house. Alcohol and bakery sweets gratis, just because...and, Josh stopped by to introduce himself and inquire where we were from and how we knew about CH2. Pleasant conversation.
I'm not a pastrami guy, but my companion sure loved the load of smoked beef, Swiss cheese and sautéed onions that filled her 3 egg plate. My Original Breakfast Hangover Sandwich was a glorious monstrosity of 3 more eggs, garlic buttered sesame seed loaf, cheddar, sausage and their hash browns all in the mix. Put hash browns inside my eggs and you know one of the keys to my soul. With the first bite, my eyes involuntarily rolled to the back of my head, and I am told I emitted a low yowl. My inner wolf was free for a moment. Don't remember, but it was that good. Don't think I bit anyone.
Doubtless, we will return to this or the other Coffee House Too in the near future. We liked it a lot!
