"Sabrina's Café operates severallocations in and around Philly, including one at the Italian Market, one in the Fairmount section, and one in Powelton Village near the Drexel campus. Its outpost in the Italian Market is always busy, especiallyfor Sunday brunch. That's because the food is fresh and affordable, the portions are huge, and the brunch menu promises something to rave about for every kind of eater. The cafés each serve lunch and most serve dinner as well. The Italian Market location offers outdoor seating, which makesit great spots for people-watching. The Powelton Village spot occupies a stunning turreted Victorian corner house."

"Brunch at Sabrina’s in The Italian Market is a Philadelphia institution—almost as much as running up the steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art . Clusters of friends and families huddle outside, rain or shine, to wait for a table in the cozy space and a plate of thick-cut challah French toast with cream cheese, bananas, and vanilla bean syrup. The restaurant is so popular it's spawned other locations around town, which are also worthy of a visit if you can't make it to the original." - Devra Ferst

Nice experience, we were seated quickly although they were crowded, waiter made good suggestions, food was awesome, I ordered the Tex Mex scrambler and Hubbie ordered the house burger, it was massive. Will be visiting again!! We shared the stuffed French toast 😋

Sabrina I dined on 11/08/2020. To start, Sabrina has the ‘Best French Toast’ in philly. I ordered the stuffed french toast special for $11.79. It was quite delish! However, the cannoli cream topping was ice cold. I got an chill down my spine on my 1st bite. Please only serve it @ room temp. The meatloaf benny special was good but for $15.99, I was disappointed to dig for the meat and I came up short. Also, one of my poached eggs was over cooked. You are known for your specials but I understand it can be tricky on a busy Sunday. The main thing is, Sabrina has the best bang for your buck on yummy brunch eats and their coffee is solid too. Noteworthy, is their BYOB policy. Bring a bottle of champagne and enjoy a lovely Mimosa!

Love this place! Small, but packed full of people. Staff was great at managing crowd. The food was unbelievably delicious. The portions are enormous! Reasonably priced, especially for what you're getting! Can't wait to go back again.

Good ambience, fast service with hot food. "Finally Moving out my parents house" brunch special was delicious. Best vegan meal I've tasted in a while. Additionally the stuffed French Toast is HUMONGOUS but delicious. It's definitely on the sweet side. Overall great food. Thanks Emmett.

Stopped by here with my cousins for some quality brunch. This place does not disappoint. They have plenty of seating all across the bottom floor. Definitely get a sip of their complimentary hot coffee in the waiting area. We wanted to try something sweet and savory. So the stuffed challah french toast and huevos rancheros it was. The combination of cream cheese, bananas, and honey in the fluffy french toast was heaven. The rancheros was perfect. The egg, crunchy potatoes and fresh tomatoes created a nice combination of flavors. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal. Prices are reasonable and the staff was so friendly.

I'm so late to write this review but this location is way better than the one in Fairmount! The service is amazing and friendly! The food is also really good and the atmosphere is cute and cozy. I would definitely come here more often, if you can't decide which location to go to definitely come here because the one in Fairmount is awful.

Delicious food at affordable prices at this adorable cafe. My husband and I ate here twice during our stay in Philly. You will not be disappointed. The portions are generous, and the ingredients are fresh. The cafe and staff are warm and friendly. This will be our new favorite breakfast spot when we come to town!

Been a while since we've been here. Got here early with a big party so the wait wasn't bad at all. Food is just as amazing as I remember, and oh the portions! 🙌🏾🙌🏾. Always a good stop if you're in the area!
