Fiore Pizza

"About 80% of the counter at Kensington’s Fiore is covered in Italian sweets like pistachio cornetti and torta della nonna that tastes more cookie-like than cake-esque. So you’ll have to fight the urge to keep adding things while you’re paying. Or don’t fight it. The baked goods here are better than anything else on the menu—though their sandwiches are fantastic, too." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"About 80% of the counter at Kensington’s Fiore is covered in Italian sweets like pistachio cornetti and torta della nonna that tastes more cookie-like than cake-esque. And the rest of the space is used to shell out warm pick-me-ups in cappuccino, Italian drinking chocolate, and chai latte form. It's a laidback spot for breakfast, although you’ll have to fight the urge to keep adding things while you’re paying. Or don’t fight it. The baked goods here are better than anything else on the menu—though their sandwiches (especially the B.E.C.) are fantastic, too." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"Philadelphians love tomato pie and sandwiches. This is an established fact, like gravity itself or the usefulness of aluminum foil when you don't have Tupperware. So, by the transitive property, you'll also love Fiore, an Italian cafe that just moved from Queen Village to Kensington. Although the new location closes at 3pm, Fiore's menu is exciting and varied enough to warrant multiple visits in one week for breakfast sandwiches, bubbly tomato pie, and a fried chicken sandwich that's so thick, it looks like it never missed a chest day in the gym.

"Fiore is the kind of place you want in every neighborhood. Their sandwiches and pastries are incredible, and they’re open on Mondays when almost everywhere else in Kensington is closed. Although they shut down at 3pm, Fiore's menu is varied enough to warrant multiple visits in one week. For breakfast, order a BEC with caramelized onions and a chai sugar donut. Then come back for a bubbly tomato pie, and walk out with some pasta for later or a fried chicken sandwich that's so thick, it looks like it never missed a chest day in the gym.   " - candis mclean, alison kessler

"The BEC at this Kensington cafe is so special that we’d sign up now for a lifetime supply. The warm sesame seed brioche bun gets nice and cozy with the bacon-packed scrambled eggs, caramelized onions, and a blanket of cheddar cheese. The oversized golden dome keeps the salty juices safely inside. Come hungry (because it’s massive), order one, and while you wait, add three chai sugar donuts to your order. " - candis mclean, alison kessler
