Long-Running Baltimore Avenue Brunch Spot Lands on South Street With Second Location - Eater Philly
"The Gold Standard Cafe, a long-running West Philly breakfast, lunch, and brunch spot, just expanded into Center City. The second location of Gold Standard is up and running at 1318 South Street, in the corner spot on South at alley street Clarion, with a menu of bagels, eggs, pancakes, salads, and sandwiches, including several vegan options." - Rachel Vigoda

First time ever leaving a review for a place but I felt so obligated to after getting brunch here. Both of our orders were very delicious and the portion sizes are out of this world. Can’t beat the value, the servers were all very nice and helpful and very attentive. Well worth a visit for brunch or a quick coffee pick up.

This place has well made food. What it lacks is service. There's only three people working the floor and they also offer food on Caviar. Which leads to long wait times to be seated, and long wait times to to be served. I do get that the staff is busy as the greeter is also the barista and serves food while doing all that, but since it's not very efficient it slows down the flow of the restaurant. I've never had a bad meal in my two times here though, so if you're willing to wait it is a good breakfast. And they also offer a lot of vegetarian and vegan options.

Only giving this place a star because there is no option for zero stars. This place apparently requires an ID for purchasing coffee. The last time I checked a cafe is not border patrol! Will definitely be seeking action through the BBB with those who have been racially profiled here.

So happy Gold Standard opened in South St! Benjamin, Mark, Emmie, and the crew are friendly and accommodating AND turn out some killer fare. They have tasty glutenfree and vegan options, everything is so fresh!
