"OCF Coffee House is the ideal place to get a morning coffee or have a lunch break that (somehow) lasts until 5pm. This spacious and casual industrial spot has plenty of seating for working solo, and long wooden communal tables if you bring the entire first floor of your office for a round of matcha lattes. They serve delicious sandwiches and have plenty of vegan options for both breakfast and lunch, and since it's right near Kelly Drive, you can grab a strawberry smoothie and turkey melt to enjoy by the waterfront.

Good selection of coffee, tea and fresh smoothies! Lots of seating space and lovely casual ambiance. We had the Nutella latte which was the perfect level of sweetness and their seasonal special rose cardamom latte was delicious too!

I’ve been vegan for almost ten years and this is by far the worst vegan food I have ever tried. I’m visiting from Texas btw, not a local. I had the omelet and WOW was it bland. I couldn’t finish it. The toast was hard, dry, and tasted burned on the edge. The black drip coffee was watery and not worth it for me to finish. I am happy to support places with vegan options which is why I came here but please, if you come here with the same hopes in mind of a vegan breakfast, expect to be disappointed. As for everything else, no issue with employees. Clean place, good seating and nice view of the penitentiary. Just sad, disappointing vegan food.

I came here with a run group after our run. This place was crowded. Luckily we were able to find seats. I ordered a hot chocolate and a bagel sandwich. The hot chocolate was tasted great. It didn’t taste like it was watered down with milk. The bagel sandwich was okay. I think they could have used more bacon in the sandwich.

OCF Coffee House in Philadelphia left a positive impression. There's ample seating and plenty of space that accomodates anyone looking to pass time or be productive. My girlfriend opted for the Corinthian Garden Smoothie, a refreshing blend of orange, pineapple, banana, strawberry, blueberry, and mango. The freshness of the ingredients shines through, creating a vibrant and invigorating beverage. I got the Caramel Americano. The coffee was rich and flavorful, with a perfect fusion of robust coffee tones and sweet caramel notes. It really showcased the quality of OCF Coffee House's brews. The Caramel flavor wasn't as strong as I would have liked but it was acceptable. I'd recommended this spot for its smoothies and coffee brews.

I really enjoyed this little jewel of a coffee shop. I was very hungover and needed energy and I needed food. Service was fast the food was good. I got a water, and an everything bagel with humus. The man at the counter ran through the options a little too fast and I was a little too hungover to make an educated decision on what I wanted. So I picked the above choice, because I heard that. My friend got a dirty iced chia latte and an everything bagel with cream cheese. They load you up on the spread. Let me tell you what, it was almost too much. Def worth the price. My other friend got a pastry and a latte. We all enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere. If I had a recommendation I would ask that the post the bagel types and spreads on a menu or sign so it’s not so difficult to choose. Other than that 5 out of 5. Oh and other tiny complaint is they have garage doors in front of windows that don’t really make any sense. The windows open and are there, so why the garage doors? I would come back for sure.

Love the concept, energy and ambiance of this place. It’s nice that there are plenty of vegan & vegetarian options. The food isn’t the best and is a bit overpriced. I paid $13 for a breakfast sandwich using the build-your-own-sandwich option. I was aware of what it would cost, based on the clearly labeled pricing on the menu but I also expected it to be worth it and it wasn’t. The bread was dry and barely toasted, the beef sausage was tiny and very over cooked (they sliced a small patty horizontally through the center and put one half on each side of the sandwich), the vegetables were good but it was such a tiny portion to charge for each one. The egg was good and cooked perfectly. I enjoyed my cold brew and my friends vegan pancakes were surprisingly good. The place was crowded when I went on Saturday morning around 10. When we ordered we were informed that there was a 25 minute wait for food. It took around 35 minutes for our food to come but you could tell they were all working hard to get everything out. The cafe side looks like a perfect place to grab a coffee and get some work done. I plan on coming back to do some writing.

Came to OCF before heading south for the Flower Show. The space is huge, with plenty of options for either a large group or single person wanting to work. The coffee we got was good, and while I didn't love the breakfast sandwich, it was still a solid experience. Probably won't come back just for the food, but the coffee is great and vibes on point.

Tried this place out as it was recommended as a great coffee shop. I found my experience alright. Staff was not the most welcoming or friendliest, which I typically look for and enjoy at any place. Got a dirty matcha and a make your own breakfast bagel. Came up pricier than I intended for two items ($17). Unsure how I truly feel, may check it out again at some point to confirm my thoughts about this cafe

OCF is a quaint, cozy coffee shop! Don't underestimate its small size since it offers a comparatively large amount of seating in the form of tables, bar, and sofa. When the weather is nice you can even enjoy the sidewalk seating. Additionally, I am a huge fan of their playlist. I feel right at home here. The baristas are so friendly and helpful. Apart from the great chill environment, I love the drinks here. They have something for everyone from coffee, matcha, and tea. I ordered the London Fog, and loved how flavorful it is. They do a great job of not making it too sweet. I think the only downside is that they have a more limited food menu of bagels and pastries.

Imagine the sinister evil required to gas up coffee waitresses enough to make them sincerely believe they need a union. Then imagine the abject and pure stupidity required to actually go ahead and unionize. What a shame another terrible coffee shop closed and is going to become a Boscovs or just stay empty. Mid coffee. That one chick would be kind of hot if it wasn't for all the, you know. Good riddance.

Yelp
I have mixed opinions about OCF! As far as food goes, my breakfast sandwich was very dry, and my eggs were unseasoned so it was kind of a tasteless sandwich. My coffee was not bad or not the best, just average. I'd get it again. My boyfriend had french toast and he said it was also dry and just mediocre. I'd like to come back and try the lunch. The atmosphere is just awesome though. I love how cozy it is, I finally found a spot I have been wanting to do some work at. I've traveled to countless cafes and this one by far is one I'd love to revisit to get some work done. The food needs some work on me so I'll definitely come back try to find something I might like and enjoy the cozy atmosphere. (Also in a great location btw)

Got the beastly sandwich special the other day - really really good! This place continues to impress.

One of my fav coffee shops in the area. Here are some of my favorite things about it: 1) it's conveniently located for me and in a cute part of town. I love looking out the window while doing work here and seeing people walk up and down Fairmount Ave enjoying their day. 2) this place is so spacious!! So although it gets crowded at peak hours, it's still usually possible to find a place to sit. 3) they have a good selection of food. I like spending large parts of my day at coffee shops to do work, and of course I get hungry. It's always great when a cafe serves breakfast and lunch foods. 4) they have a good amount of latte flavors and seasonal drinks. I love a good seasonal drink :) The vibes at OCF are great and they also have WiFi. Highly recommend for a lively place to do work, or to be social and meet up with friends/family.

Until the Democrat Uionizersorcers forced Ori Feibush to close the place down it was a great space and decent vide. But with all food and drink places the profit margin is very thin. The union organizers misread the the sitch and got everyone fired. Well done Dems. Another ruined business due to your "help". But, even with all that said, they served a good cup with a good atmosphere. It is a shame the union organization has taken that away from us.

Great little coffee shop in the fairmount area. I am giving this place 5 stars because it hits all the points I look for in a cafe: - delicious selection of coffee - food options - lots of seating (both indoor and outdoors) - free wifi Only thing is if you want to study or do work here, it can get a little loud so bring headphones! Staff are also very nice. They also have a punch card you can use to redeem a free drink after every 10.

Vanessa R.

Yelp
Yum!!!! Oh my gosh. I really liked it here. The ambiance and staff as a whole are just great and it's a very chill, caring and attentive vibe. Everyone was very sweet. There is a lot of room to sit, and outdoor seating as well! The food is cooked fresh there, as well as some baked goods options. The coffee was great and I am a snob about my coffee. They are also seemingly big on reducing waste and that's super awesome. I wish I lived here because I would grab one of those punchcards !

Coffee is great, my omelet was ok, didn't really enjoy it. Wait time is not ridiculously long but it does get pretty busy. It's a great place to hang out and have coffee, work or chat with friends, love the plants, and optional outdoor seating.

I can't get enough of this place! The flavors are absolutely incredible. During my recent trip to Philadelphia, I had the pleasure of visiting this gem, and I instantly fell in love. The sandwiches are amazing and the smoothies are refreshing, flavorful, and the perfect accompaniment to any meal. To top it off, the service was incredible.

I really like this place. The coffee shop has a ton of space if you want to cowork or meet up with some people. The coffee beans they use are pretty top quality (which I really enjoy). The service is pretty quick as well.

I stopped here on the way to the Philadelphia Museum of Art Saturday morning around 10. There was already a long line of people, but it moved SO quickly. The staff were very friendly and happy to help. I ordered an iced latte with oat milk and a bagel sandwich. While I ordered mine on sourdough it did come on an everything bagel. That's ok, because it was still delicious. I say outside on one of the many outdoor tables to enjoy my breakfast. I would absolutely come here again.

We love a $1 mug refill remote work moment! OCF serve up La Colombe coffee alongside a menu of breakfast and lunch favorites, all in a welcoming environment with friendly staff. This will be my regular pit stop for all things coffee and "need to get out of the house" work situations! The space itself is really large which makes it easy to find a spot near an outlet to post up for a bit. I can't wait to try more of their menu and was loving seeing the latte creations that other folks were trying. A lot of great vegan options on the menu so this is for sure a good dietary option for everyone in your life. Grateful to have this spot within walking distance and looking forward to many more trips in my future!

Cute spot with unique offerings - I had a cherry pie matcha here, something I haven't seen offered anywhere else. It's conveniently located not too far from the Barnes Museum and right across from the Eastern State Penitentiary. I'll definitely make it a regular stop if I'm in the area.

Lowkey mid. The drinks were good but they charged me 2 dollars for 2 pieces of turkey bacon. Skimpy! That's outrageous. Anyway my eggs were also kind of bland and I thought the bagel could be a little more toasted. Hot chocolate was good.

Yelp
I like the vibe of this place. Very casual, friendly staff, w THE most delicious lavender dark roast coffee. I ordered the brioche French toast, topped w strawberries and I slathered real butter all over it. It was good but not extraordinary. It actually was not as good as my home made French toast. I also ordered a Turkey sausage , which was a bit spicy but not very seasoned, otherwise. Turkey can be tricky --and dry. However, it was the only meat for breakfast. My daughter and her boyfriend ordered the anyway egg platter w sourdough toast,scrambled eggs and hash browns . I was so envious of them. Yes I'll come here again and I will order the eggs. But most definitely the coffee!!

I stop here often for a cold drink and they always have great service. The place is also nice with much seating. If you happen to go there don't forget to try their Amaranth Granola bar, it is very good.

The service was great but the prices are ridiculous! $8 for an iced caramel coffee with oat milk?? That is outrageous. I was better off getting an iced latte.

My husband loves their French toast, I love the matcha. We're self-employed, so, it's a nice place in the neighborhood that we can always grab table, get a quick bite & get some work done outside of our office. It's always busy, but service is always fast and the quality of the food/drinks is consistently good.

Yelp
Huge fan of this place. Large space, great coffee and good prices. Occasionally I come for work and would come in the evening if they were open late. Foot and pastries are decent. It's a shame Ori Feibush is a developer. He'd make a great coffee shop owner. Wish there were more of these around.

Tom P.

Yelp
Very chill and expansive coffee shop. Waited around and was able to do some work while waiting for a friend for lunch. Grabbed a cold latte and seat and enjoyed my time. Did I say it was pretty big? Well yes, probably twice the size of a Starbucks with free wifi so you can't complain. Plus, you'll see a little nature as birds will occasionally fly in.

Had a pretty good lavender latte from here, plenty of options for something quick and healthy to eat.

I'll start by saying I do not drink coffee but heading to the Eastern State Penitentiary I passed this shop and wanted a juice or water. Highly recommend the lemonade! Such a cute hip coffee shop with a smell to die for!! I wish I could bottle up the fresh baked bagels and coffee grounds scent. The bathrooms are spotless. They offer free wifi which brings in a lot of students and workers. Very nice place! Great location.

It took me many years, but I have found the greatest motivation for cycling...food. More specifically, breakfast foods. Strong coffee, interesting egg concoctions, olemettes, and occasional irresistible baked goods. Starting a longish ride with a halfway food stop does wonders for the psyche and motivation. Enter OCF. For 6 summers I have made the pilgrimage to the SRT from some remote location and have fought the heat, humidity, and inevitable construction in Manayunk to visit Rocky. Tourists from around the world be damned, I am sweaty and will still take my umpteenth photo with him. And when our yearly niceties are over, I will roll towards the castle on the hill and I will eat. And OCF will not disappoint. Pretty much a standard arrangement...they provide a breakfast bagel sandwich new coffee, and I sit outside and watch the world go by until I feel the call of the long ride back to beaucolic Ephrata- and the Amish that clippity-clop past- and I mount up, bid adeau to the castle and its neighboring cafe, and off I go. Today's 50 miler was headlined by good coffee and an everything bagel with egg, spinach, and an odd spicy sausage patty. I do believe I had asked for turkey bacon, but all was forgiven with a sandwich that was 3 or 4 inches too tall for my mouth. I'll take that problem any day, and the sandwich was disassembled prior to consumption. OCF, keep doing what you do. I am but a passing ship in the night, but our yearly rendezvous will provide motivation enough to make me do what I do.

5-stars because this was exactly what a coffee house should be. Lots of tables and bustling on a Sunday. They had a nice two-your-way egg special (huge portion) and they also served a pretty solid everything bagel with cream cheese.

This is a really cute cafe that sits right across from the Eastern State Penitentiary. As soon as you walk in you get the "I can chill here and do work" kind of vibe. The people are nice and very accommodating. The prices are pretty good so youre not gonna break the bank over here like you would elsewhere. I got the iced Matcha latte and my lady got an iced cold brew. The drinks were no more than $9.00. I would definitely come here again and I reccomend you guys check it out! Tips? Depending on the time of the day I would check out the menu prior to coming because a line could form depending on the day/time of day. In addition if you get a to-go cup, the lid might leak a little bit on you so make sure its tight. Hope you guys check this place out!

Michael R.

Yelp
Very good coffee and quick breakfast spot! The inside is very large with lots of places to sit and get work done or have a conversation with friends. They also have a few outdoor spots as well. You order everything at the counter. I got an iced oat latte and my friend got a chai latte (he forgot to get a dirty chai) but still said it was very good as was mine! I also got the bagel sandwich which was delicious. Will definitely be back to study/get some work done!

James R.

Yelp
Coffee was good, could have been better if it was hit but it did taste good. I find a lot of coffee houses make the mistake of not accounting for the temperature of the cream or milk when added to coffee, hence dropping the temperature. Overall food is good and I will be back.

Steve V.

Yelp
Didn't realize this place has multiple locations since it has that neighborhood feel. The employees are friendly and patrons seem to be regulars, many of them. There was a short line on a weekday morning around 8am. Once ordered, we got a number and had our choice of indoor or outdoor seating on the sidewalk. We chose the sidewalk and enjoyed the people/parking watching as this place is right across the street from the Eastern State Penitentiary. The bagel with lox and cream cheese was good as was the mint bomb pasty that my daughter got. Everyone liked their food and coffee and the selection was good as well, as everyone was able to get what they wanted. Great neighborhood spot!

Yelp
OCF defin itely gets some points for being directly on Fairmount Ave. This place is in a great spot with awesome local atmosphere. They recently reopened their indoor seating and I have found this to be a great place to do some work early in the morning or afternoon. They have a long list of coffee options (that are albeit expensive) and pastries made in house and from local bakeries. They also have fantastic small cafe breakfast and lunch options. The menu seems to change fairly often. OCF is a local chain but this cafe seems to manage a local flavor and provide a curated selection of food options. The sing made me think I would be getting crappy food made by a real estate company but I could not have been more wrong. Be sure to check this place out! It is really a great neighborhood option in Fairmount!

My experience here left me stunned, frustrated, and extremely disappointed. For such a nice neighborhood cafe, the service and quality of drinks we received was horrendous. We came here to order an iced oat milk latte and a smoothie. The smoothie was fine, but our iced oat milk latte came out with oat milk that had GONE BAD. I repeat, the OAT MILK WAS ROTTEN.  You would think that the lack of mixing between the oat milk and coffee would be a sign that the milk had gone bad, but we were served the drink with a creamier oat milk and were confused. After just one sip, we realized that the sour flavor was ROTTEN MILK. Immediately, we brought this up to the people working behind the counter, WHO DID NOT EVEN APOLOGIZE. Indignantly, the woman behind the bar took the drink to the man who made it, and he seemed ANNOYED that the drink was sent back. We did not receive any apology, and instead of remaking our drink immediately, they made MULTIPLE other drinks first so that we had to wait for our drink to be remade. We were not offered anything in return for being served ROTTEN MILK.  At the end, I didn't even see them throw the milk out. It makes me wonder - who else is being served rotten milk? What other ingredients are sub-par that this place uses for their food? I will NOT be returning, and I hope that some health agency looks into the lack of oversight on the health of their ingredients. I highly recommend you go to the Starbucks in Callowhill if you want friendly service and healthy ingredients.

Was in Philly for the Rocky Run and stopped in while my husband and best friend we're running. Great spot. It was clean and welcoming. Upon ordering, they did inform us they were not prepared for the crowd and food would take 20 minutes. That was fine and I appreciated the transparency up front. You seat yourself and they bring your food to you. I had the turkey sausage on a bagel. Warning: the turkey sausage was spicy. I like spicy so no problem, but I don't think it was advertised that way. The hot chocolate was definitely good also. Of note, the place is bigger than it appears. There are more tables in the back around the corner!!!

Yelp
As big as this place is it was still packed. I went around 11am on a Wednesday and there was only one seat free on the long communal table in the middle. That aside, I love the plants throughout the space. I had a cortado and a plain bagel from kismet bagels, both delicious. It's a little loud because there's so many people inside but with headphones on it was fine. $6 for both the cortado and bagel was a great price. Metal chairs are neither comfortable nor uncomfortable if that makes any sense lol. A little cold but bearable because they also have ample outdoor seating. So when I got cold I was able to switch to a table outside. Also found 2hr parking with no meter right outside the cafe. 4/5

OCF this is one of my favorite , they the best VEGAN sausage I have had and I have had a lot, and I really like the lattes here as well. So they final got more vegan pastries and you vegans will like these: a vegan pop tart what!!! Two flavors yes!!! 2 and a vegan brownie that was really good although I like a chewier brownie this was still good

Korrey H.

Yelp
Great that they have gluten free and vegan butter! The smoothie was good ! The only problem I had was the bagel had way too much butter on there so it was super greasy, the bag ripped from the amount on there. Other than that it wasn't bad.

Yelp
Cool breakfast location close by one of my friends place, had a breakfast sandwich with whole wheat bread and scrambled egg, with added turkey bacon and cheddar cheese. Made my own smoothie with soy milk, spinach, mango and blueberries. Also couldn't resist a gogi tea drink. Everything tasted super fresh made and no extra sugar added or grease or salt. Super healthy breakfast spot, I just wish there was more breakfast choices since it was pretty limited and all the add ons costed extra.

Amy B.

Yelp
I'm new to the build your own sandwich. Staff wasn't super helpful in guiding me in what to do but I figured it out. Asked for spinach on my breakfast sandwich. Didn't get it. No worries. Went up to the counter to relay this information and the kind young girl asked if I wanted cooked or fresh. (I get an option?!) I said cooked. She took it back to the kitchen and the head guy was super disrespectful to her. He then proceeded to put fresh spinach with his bare hands on my sandwich. No gloves? No sanitary precautions? If I'm going to pay 7.50+ for a breakfast sandwich please be willing to provide good service and accurately give what your customers want. (And treat your fellow co-workers with respect and dignity)

This coffee house is known for more than just the coffee it is brewing (all are solid options) - they have AWESOME breakfast. From sandwiches to pastries, they've got you covered. My last visit to the shopt, I tried a raspberry lemonade scone that was just OUT OF THIS WORLD. Their location in Fairmount is huge and spacious. Perfect for getting some work done, reading a book, or just unwinding and people wathing. Really relaxing place, big floor to ceiling windows, and the staff is super friendly. Would highly recommend.

Albert M.

Yelp
Very disappointing. Very underwhelming ....seems the staff is aware of its 'sub standards' looks to be blushing embarrassed at its resting on its OFC billions .... only giving 2 stars in generous hopes that it will improve - feel free to contact me and I will be happy to go into specifics ....

Yelp
Friendly staff, nice clean space. I liked the chai latte, but would say it seems pretty standard in flavor compared to other places. Their disposable drink lids are very sturdy, with a cover you can click open or closed so great if you're walking somewhere since it guards against spilling somewhat it seems. I would happily study or do work here if I lived nearby.

An absolute vibe- great for productivity or just casually grabbing a drink/bite with friends. And speaking of which, they have a breakfast and lunch menu option! The natural lighting is amazing as well.

I've been on a mission to discover my favorite local coffee shop and unfortunately this one beats my personal fav (The Monkey & Elephant but it's so close to being tied). I ordered a salmon bagel and lavender latte! Reasonably priced for a local coffee shop and the employees were very nice and welcoming, a heads up that if you like hints of flavor go for a simpler syrup flavor because the Lavender is very strong! But so yummy, will definitely be coming back again! I also see this being a good place to study or bring friends, it's a very calm, laid back setting and you have area where you can separate from other people which I enjoy!

My husband and I were recommended to stop in here for breakfast by our Air BnB host when we were staying down the street. We arrived on a Saturday morning around 10 or 10:30 and the line was practically out the door. After ordering, we were able to find a table inside. Your food is brought out to you according to your table number. Service both in that aspect and at the counter was friendly. The kitchen made an error on my husband's breakfast sandwich (left off turkey bacon) and they were quick to apologize and correct it. Coffee available that day was in medium and dark roast. I had a medium roast which was very good. They have a variety of juices and teas for grab and go too. Lots of pastries, cookies, etc. if you are looking for a sweet treat. Both my husband and I did a "BYO breakfast sandwich". I chose: sourdough toast, egg, turkey andouille sausage, gouda, cooked spinach, and cooked tomato. I appreciated I was offered the option of cooked because 1. I didn't even think about it and 2. I prefer cooked to raw anyways. The breakfast sandwich was very large and filling. The bread was nicely toasted, the turkey sausage was well-flavored and had a spicy kick, the gouda perfectly melted, and the spinach and tomato were both seasoned well. The egg was fried well too. My husband chose rye toast, turkey bacon, mozzarella, and fried egg. He enjoyed his sandwich and found it to be filling too. I'm glad our Air BnB host recommended coming here because we had a great experience-quick service, inexpensive yet quality food, and a hearty enough breakfast that we were good to go until dinner. I definitely noticed a lot of students lingering with laptops so I imagine this place can get even more packed once the universities in the area are back in full swing.

I'm always in the lookout for a study cafe with ample seating and a relaxing atmosphere and I was very happy on entering OCF the first time. A long room filled with individual and group tables and several windows and outdoors seating, the OCF Coffeehouse is a jack of all trades for the student and the bruncher alike. The customers at OCF were mostly young adults but no boisterous or loud parties when I was there on Monday morning. With a menu decorated with brunch feasting, I couldn't resist ordering a stack (1-3) of buttermilk pancakes with banana and caramel. The pancakes were some of the fluffiest and most risen I've eaten and the caramel sweetness blends effectively with the ample services of banana slices. I snacked away quietly as I did my computer work in peaceful fullness and will love to come back again for other brunch amenities and work sessions alike. Edit: came back for a second brunch during my visit and grabbed the soft french toast with plentiful strawberries toppings. Delicious as before!

Was I drunk when I wrote my original review? I came here pretty early this morning, I'm actually still here as I write this review. I wanted coffee, brekky, and a place to do work outside of my apartment because I had the stomach bug all weekend and was STIR CRAZY. This place is v close to where I live aka why I decided to come here. MISTAKE!!!!!!!! My coffee and breakfast was $14??? Hello??? Like I could go to a sit down brunch spot and pay that - am I in the twilight zone?? It's also so crowded and loud and noisy. It wasn't hard to find a seat, but even with my AirPods in I could hear the people around me yelling. Like sorry I didn't think I was at a friggin rave, I thought I was at a coffee shop. Okay, I'm being dramatic, but this is how I feel. I won't be back - I will be sticking to Alegro at the bottom of Whole Foods? Like hello how is a coffee shop in a grocery store more quiet than this spot. Ok. I'm done.

I've been here many times and for the most part it has been positive. Unfortunately I was drinking my cup of tea today and felt something in my mouth....it was a dead fly! I didn't complain honestly because I just didn't feel like getting up from the table. However, if OCF is reading this please be sure your staff double checks when preparing food and drinks! Thanks.

This is a good spot to work, but the least they could do is keep their hours UPDATED on the OCF website. I checked online before showing, up for it to be CLOSED.

Looking up breakfast places for our trip to Philadelphia. Located across the street from Eastern State Penitentiary was a great café. To be honest it's a little pricier then what is labeled on Yelp. But no matter, I felt it was well worth it. What did I find here? Inspired brews! Kombucha made right here in Philadelphia, I think that's awesome to see a small operation with such a great presence. This café had plenty of options. Breakfast was delicious. We opted for French toast with slabs of turkey bacon. Not that overly processed stuff, thus was like hearty turkey bacon! Cappacino was delightful, the presentation was aesthetically pleasing with the fern design. I know, I sound like a total douche. Cappacino was delicious either way. Don't look at me like that, shut up. Service was very good. And it's set up as a self-cleaning type operation with the bins for dishes by the trash. The place was clean, and very busy. There's also a section on one side for you to set up with your laptop, that area was packed. It must of had outlets. Also nice because I think this place has WiFi.

40 minute wait for an average breakfast sandwich. When I asked my server for a bottle of ketchup brought me a practically empty bottle.

Located conveniently across the street from our tourist destination of the penitentiary, we made this our first stop. I like the cool vibe of the place. You place your order at the counter and seat yourself. We chose the end of a few really long tables, but there was plenty of seating everywhere. Our breakfast came out speedy quick and we prepared for a long day of touring. Plenty of cute little shops sprinkle the streets so this would be a fun area to hang out, shop and dine your way through the day.
