Honey’s Sit ’N Eat Review - Graduate Hospital - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Sometimes in Grad Hospital, it feels like everyone you pass is either a) a grad student or b) works at a hospital. In a sea of scrubs and backpacks, Honey’s couldn’t be more at home. Their latkes and signature “Honey Cristo,” made with challah French toast and ham, are two of the things on the menu, but the huevos rancheros is also a favorite. This place is cash only and doesn’t take reservations, so expect to wait on the weekends. But they are BYOB, so if you’re worried, you can always bring an extra bottle of something." - Jordan Price

The Ultimate French Toast of Philly

"A Philadelphia powerhouse when it comes to breakfast and lunch, Sabrina’s Cafe recently opened its sixth location at the Philadelphia Airport (with others in University City, Fairmount, Graduate Hospital, Wynnewood, and South Jersey). While the menu is jam-packed with French toast options, its latest special is highly recommended. Nodding to Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler, the Wheeler’s Fastball French Toast is made with coconut mascarpone, mango blueberry compote, cinnamon streusel, and whipped cream." - George Banks-Weston

Delicious food. Amazing options. Fast and kind service. They quickly seated our 7 person party even though we came somewhat close to their closing time. They have awesome options to choose from and great specials, and nice decor. I would highly recommend this place for all of your brunch needs.

Typical American cafe. The staff was very friendly, coffee was good. The poached eggs were not quite à la carte but the taste was fine. A bit pricey for the type and quality of food offered. Maybe because it felt like an American diner disguised in a cafe in the middle of the city.

I got the breakfast tacos with pork sausage and my friend got the breakfast burrito. Soooo delicious! Lots of gluten free options (but a $2 upcharge for gf bread). Portions were a great size — my friend had to take hers home because she couldn’t finish it. The atmosphere was lovely as well with lots of cute art on the wall. Highly recommend this as a brunch spot!

I don't often give a five star review but I MUST. If you want something delicious and you are vegan and gluten free as I am, you have to try the vegan tofu bowl. It is out of this world. Because it was crowded, my son and I ate at the bar and our service was excellent. Dakota made sure we were served quickly and he checked in as well as checking on all details relevant to my dietary restrictions. As for the atmosphere, as an artist myself, I love the murals on the wall and the splashes of color and style that are throughout the space.

There were so many vegetarian options I was slightly overwhelmed but very appreciative. I ended up getting the veggie huevos rancheros and it was quite good with good flavor. I also ordered an iced chai which I was slightly disappointed with because it tasted like the store-bought concentrate but my standards aren’t too high for restaurants. We waited over 30 minutes to get a table but the food came quickly and the server was nice.

We when we arrived at Sabrina's Cafe on South Street, we were greeted with a warm welcome from Michaela. Our server was attentive and friendly. Our food came out very quick and was hot. Everything tasted very good. Manager T came to our table to check on our food and if we needed anything. She was very nice and friendly as well. She invited us to come back again for breakfast. The overall experience was good and I would definitely come back to this location to eat.

I LOVE this spot for brunch. Every time I've gone with a group, everyone has been happy with their meals. As this location is walk-in only, there can be a bit of a wait for a table depending on party size, but that has never been a problem for me are there are many spots around the restaurant where you can grab a coffee while you wait, and they will text you when your table is ready. So many great sweet breakfast options, I love to order the lemon ricotta pancakes-- the berry compote is simply delicious and paired with the lemon curd just tastes amazing. Service is always solid and the place is a lively environment to dine it. Definitely check this place out.

I went to Sabrina's on South Street for brunch with my friend Jen a few Saturdays ago. We got a table outside with no wait, which was a pleasant surprise. This location is AMAZING for people watching. It's almost a shame we had so much to talk about, because there was just so much to observe. Cute young families walking by, dogs, babies, fabulously stylish women, puppies... We both got two eggs over easy, bacon, and toast. The service was noticeably fast for a busy Saturday. We are busy ladies and both had plans after brunch, so we appreciated the quick service. Overall this is a solid brunch spot in Graduate Hospital.

Let me just start this review off by saying that Ava is the best server ever. She is fantastic. I hope the next time I come back she is our waitress!! The French 75 was delightful. The food was also pretty good. It wasn't as life changing as I've been told Sabrina's is. For example, the potato's are very standard-- nothing special about them. Even as the weakest part of the meal, they were good. The restaurant is well decorated. I liked the vibe and color scheme.

I don't know where to begin. This wasn't my first time visiting a Sabrina's cafe. This, however, was the only bad experience I've ever had while visiting a Sabrina's cafe. My girl and I came on a weekend day around brunch. As expected, we had a 20-minute wait. That wasn't a big deal. The people were nice. The issues came when we got our food. I ordered the stuffed Brioche French toast, and my girl got the lemon ricotta pancakes. We're were surprised at how fast the food came. The pancakes were mushy, soggy, and hard to eat. The flavor of the stuffed brioche French toast was good, but it sat in a bed of syrup, which was honestly overpowering. My girl and I felt as if the priority was getting people their food so they could get in and out. I didn't feel like quality was a priority this time around. It's unfortunate too because I really like Sabrina's. I recommend the callowhill location.

Oh my Goodness Sabrina's did not disappoint. A woman we met at our Hotel pool recommended and we were so happy she shared this restaurant with us. We went before leaving town to celebrate a birthday and staff went above and beyond for birthday. Food was out of this world and can't wait to return to Philly for breakfast at Sabrina's. Staff are warm and friendly. Restaurant is inviting good choice for breakfast/brunch

I was disappointed this visit. I have gone to other Sabrina's locations and felt like I had pretty good experiences. However, today I went on a Sunday morning for breakfast. I knew it would be busy so I didn't mind the 20 minute wait. They do not have an actual waiting area inside for customers to wait for a table so you kind of have to wait outside but it was raining hard this morning so we had to wait inside tightly packed with other waiting customers. I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes and when I received them, it seemed like the pancake itself was very brittle and would break apart - which it did completely. The berry compote on top was also making my pancakes extremely soggy to the point where I could not eat part of my pancakes due to it being actual mush. I could not finish my pancakes because the pancakes would not hold any shape whatsoever and would break into tiny pieces every time I tried to take a bite. It was not a pleasant experience. The staff were all busy and the visit did not seem personal. Seemed like they focus on efficiency at this place rather than quality. In addition, I ordered a side of fried chicken. The breading was soggy in half of it and the chicken itself was seasoned poorly as some bites felt like it was full of salt. Disappointed in my visit today.

Had breakfast at Sabrina's Cafe on Mother's Day. It's a nice, quaint restaurant nestled within a neighborhood. Street parking is a challenge. I had a veggie omelette with mixed greens. Others had Shrimp and Grits, Brioche French Toast, Chicken and Waffles. Everything was fresh - quality food for sure! The waitresses were attentive and friendly and the atmosphere was warm. The price point was reasonable. I'm from the south but would visit again when in Philly.

Outstanding food, especially during brunch. the 20 minute wait was not too bad. After eating here, I understand why there are always people waiting outside the door on a weekend morning. The service was great along with the food. I loved the Ultimate Mexican, and it tasted good as leftovers too. I enjoyed sharing a plate of fall pancakes

This place has an outstanding brunch menu. While this place doesn't have BYOB like the other Sabrina's in Fairmount, it has a robust drink menu. The place is pretty empty during the work week, which was very nice. We both were craving sweets so we got the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. Our savory dish was the Korean Chicken Kimchi Bowl. Honestly, we were full after just eating the pancakes. The pancakes are to die for! I usually am more into chocolate type pancakes with a ton of maple syrup but with these pancakes you don't even need syrup. I loved the lemon curd at the bottom of the pancakes. The 3 giant pancakes really had a subtle, yet delicious taste of lemon and blueberry. The Korean Chicken Kimchi Bowl was decent. I really like how there was a full avocado, fermented cucumbers, kimchi, and red cabbage. The fried chicken was delicious as well. The batter was real thick and crispy and the chicken came out nice and warm like it came fresh out of the deep frier.

Went there for brunch. Very friendly staff. No Waite for table or bar. They are fast bringing your food to the table. Food was good average for my taste. Nothing super amazing. The place is nicely decorated and the ambiance is nice.

After searching through Yelp and Google, we decided to give Sabrina's cafe a try for breakfast. Menu was appealing, and unique coffee drinks caught our eyes. Upon entering the restaurant, we like the ambiance. How bright and cheery it felt. Hostess seated us. We choose peach Arnold palmer, peach cobbler iced latte with oat milk, and regular coffee. So many delicious sounding chooses. We asked our server, Noah, his recommendations. We ended up choosing the cinnamon roll pancakes and California dreams omelet. Oh my goodness, our choices did not disappoint our taste buds. Scrumptious!! Everything came out correct, hot and full of flavor. The cilantro sour cream on the omelets brings the tomato brushetta freshness to life even more. Multi grain toast with soft butter to put on it and hash brown potatoes. Our server, Noah, was attentive, professional, yet very friendly and helpful. Loved when he would address the table with his one arm behind his back. Being respectful to his customers. I'm definitely keeping Sabrina's cafe on my Philadelphia list, and my family highly recommends.

Sabrina's is in a convenient location and is really cute and bright inside with decorations, comfortable seating, and a full bar. The food is delicious with big portions and a lot of options on the menu for brunch/lunch. We got an omelet, chicken bowl, and sandwich, and all were great. They also have a large cocktail menu! However, we had a really long delay in service and only saw our waiter a couple of times to order or ask for water refills. The food took an extremely long time to come out (easily 30+ minutes) even when the restaurant wasn't too busy. Also, they don't take reservations and get busy quickly so expect a wait time (especially on weekends). Overall - cute, delicious food and drinks, mid-level prices - but expect to wait for a table and wait for your food.

Stopped by for lunch mid week, there was not a crowd or rush. My group had basic food allergies and they couldn't figure out how to accommodate and served mixed up wrong food. We had to leave, will not return, be warned anyone else needing accommodation that this place is not safe.

Great brunch spot on south street! Went on a Saturday and we waiting about 30 min for a table, which I didn't think was bad given it was peak brunch time! Once we sat though, service was very quick! Our server quickly took our order and we barely started getting through catch ups before our food arrived! In terms of the food, it was all delicious! The cannoli French toast was deliciously sweet and the omelette was a classic! The potatoes were great as well. I look forward to coming back!

First time at this location and was not disappointed. It's a good spot for a sunny day thanks to the generous light coming through the windows. I had to try something from the special tea/coffee menu and the Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte was so fun! The chai had a typical spice flavor paired nicely with the sweet topping. Typically I go for savory but the sweets section called my name. The lemon ricotta pancakes can definitely be shared but I was happy to take my leftovers home! They were not overwhelmingly sweet and didn't need any extra syrup. The menu has something for everyone and I have yet to have an unsatisfactory meal at Sabrina's. Be prepared for a wait although it may not be long.

I don't know how I never heard of this place but it's nestled in a cute part of Philly. I arrived for brunch on a Sunday and put my name down on the waitlist since they don't do reservations, and I was quoted a 15-20 minute wait. There are a lot of options on the menu, along with some fun non-alcoholic drinks. I ordered one called the Flu Shot that looked like an Old Fashioned. It had a smoky flavor but was too sweet for me. I also had the mushroom toast ($15) and shared a plate of pancakes with chocolate chips with my friends. Despite all the stuff stacked on the toast, I found it almost difficult to eat because it was so thick and dry. I think it could've used some more acidity. The pancakes were good, though--super fluffy and big. I might have to give the other items on the menu here another try!

aesthetic spot nestled in a lovely neighborhood! this cafe is beautifully decorated with plenty of light, and the seating is nice and spacious. i ordered the huevos rancheros (without the jalapeño) which was delicious. i originally wanted the chicken & biscuits but they did not have it that day. i enjoyed the huevos rancheros, it was very filling, and i would order it again. my friend ordered the 5 grain breakfast bowl (not pictured) but she did not like it very much. i didn't try it so i can't speak on it, but it looked pretty average. service was good, no complaints there. staff was friendly and prompt. there was no wait at 12pm on a thursday, we were seated immediately.

I finally tried Sabrina's, and I liked it so much I was back again 2 weeks later. I tend to get up early so before 10am there's been no wait. The outdoor tables have shade umbrellas and they'll bring water for your dog right away. The omelets are fantastic, especially the California Dreams. We also tried the Barbacoa breakfast sandwich which was tasty without being too salty or spicy. The menu is pretty diverse and there's something for everyone, including vegans. Waitstaff are really efficient and attentive. And the decor is so cute, loved the Sputnik lights and ric rac cacti all over the bar. The hype is warranted. Will have to try shrimp and grits next time, saw someone else order one and it looked delicious.

Blown away by Sabrina's! It as my first time visiting. It was incredibly delicious. The portions were huge, food was flavorful, and the drinks were tasty. It felt like all four of us really enjoyed our meals. The service was continuous and they didn't rush us at all. The restaurant is bright with large windows and really spacious. Seems like you can't really go wrong with anything you order here.

Walking in, place was empty. Unsure if it's due to popularity or snow storm. Was seated at a comfy table in the corner and given ice water (why ice in winter? Isn't it cold enough?) Waiter came promptly and asked for our order. Was seeking something sweet but was concerned the challah was too big. It was but, apparently, so were the others. The lemon ricotta pancakes were sweet, fluffy, and enhanced by it's lemony sauce. They were the best pancakes I've ever tasted but large enough to satisfy two. We were forcing down the korean chicken kimchi bowl before calling it quits and boxing the remains. By no means was the chicken bowl disappointing. It's savory and slightly sweet sauce mixed with rice, carrots, avocado and kimchi was amazing. Try to combining them into one mouthful to taste a blast of flavor. If there's one takeaway from this review, order one item and share among 2-3 people. I highly recommend the food and location!

Great place work from your laptop. I sat at the counter and was served and had plenty of room to work from my computer for a few hours. I know it's a breakfast cafe predominately but I ordered a noodle bowl and it was really good! The salmon was delicious though I would order it without mayo next time, I thought it was weird with the mango. Shoutout to Rachel the manager on that day, she was so professional and friendly!

This location is the newest one of all. It's bright and airy. Every time I'm in Philadelphia, I have to stop at Sabrina's Café. The food is good and fresh. My server Aquille was cool. I had the Santa Fe turkey burger, which was pretty delicious had a little kick to it. My friend had the stuffed French toast, which was pretty awesome as well. It's really bright has windows with nice natural light. And the plants is a nice touch! The hostess was even nice enough to offer and set our luggage aside.

It's good! Sabrina's always is. The list of wonderfully sweet things as well as delicious savory items on their menu never disappoints. I have always appreciated this space (even in its previous iterations). The big windows bring in light and the space is airy and bright. I went with the basics this morning...eggs over easy, multigrain toast, potatoes with jalapeño and onion with pork sausage links. The eggs tasted so fresh and over easy was executed beautifully. The sausage links were delicious and not too "porky" tasting. My daughter had the breakfast burrito and loved it. Strong coffee and a Bloody Mary added to my morning in a very nice way. This place is consistent and good. And this is a great location. You should definitely put it in your brunch rotation.

I had this place under the radar for some time when I planned my trip to Philadelphia and believe me it did not disappoint!! My husband and I took an early morning walk from our hotel to get here and we had no trouble finding it. Immaculate and clean both on the inside and outside we were seated right away and I got my coffee. I ordered the challah stuffed French toast with bananas. It is stuffed with cream cheese. My husband had the short stack of pancakes with chocolate chips and banana. I was thinking-"how would this French toast compare to the Tonga toast I had at Disney's Polynesian Village last year?' The verdict-this toast is better than I even expected! Beats the Tonga toast by a long shot! I was blown away by the size of the French Toast and knew half of it would be going home with me. Covered in syrup and bananas, it was downright good and tasty!! The vanilla and beans syrup added the right amount of flavor to it. My husband stated his pancakes were good but a little bit dry. Still the portion sizes are huge for a reasonable price you pay. Service and atmosphere were excellent. Sabrina's cafe is a local chain in the Phila area and since we were heading home we wanted to get to one that was open early. I liked the artwork on the wall showing this toast since it is one of their signature items. They have so many options for me to try but I will keep this place as one of local favorites next time I find myself in Philadelphia.

Absolutely recommend getting the "stuffed French toast latte" (comes with: espresso, vanilla, banana, whipped cream, cinnamon, and chocolate chips) BUT add a shot of vodka in it! The drinks are absolutely fabulous. More so, the food is delicious and hit the spot Every. Single. Time. The vibes are also immaculate with hip music that everyone can bob their heads too (2000s music and new clean versions of music, such as Taylor Swift). My favorite brunch spot in Philadelphia hands down!

Yum yum yum! I'm a big chicken & waffles girl! I think my life's purpose is to try chicken & waffles everyyyyywhere I go... lol it was amazing! My boo thang got the huevos rancheros and it was slamming! Possibly the best we've tried with real ingredients... goes a long way! (Gracias chef) El cafecito is equally delish! To top it off we had a drink a piece! I had the mimosa which was good and the shower stopppppa is the old fashion that is bacon infused. Good lort, yum! We met Courtney, Daniella and Micheal the manager and they were absolutely fantastic! We can't wait to come back! With gratitude, Cat & Yaya

What a staple for the city! We brought out parents here and they absolutely loved it. This is a place where you HAVE to get a breakfast appetizer - as I like to call it. If you get two egg dishes, get the stuffed french toast to share. If you are more of a sweet plate type of person, get an egg dish to share. It's all that good, and I would challenge anyone to visit and not feel like you are missing out if you didn't order this way. Portions are big and they are so consistent in their quality. They have locations all throughout the city, and you can always find the same great food. You can literally close your eyes, point on the menu, and eat something you'll enjoy. They also have tasty drinks (coffee variations and alcoholic). It's literally always packed, so be prepared for a high-pace environment. It is loud and organized chaos, but that's all a part of its own special charm - expect it! They don't take reservations, so be prepared to wait, but don't be deterred. Walk around, find something to do - just be patient and I promise it'll be worth it.

First time here and my friend dragged me here after hot yoga claiming this is the "best French toast" she's ever had. Of course I obliged because I love to judge and contest people's food recs (who doesn't). But, she was right. We did two savories and one sweet to share. Would recommend this strategy as everything looked good on the menu and I had decision paralysis. Iced coffee - fantastic. Free refills and our server even gave me a to go cup. Stuffed challah French toast was out of this world. The filling was creamy, not too sweet, and drenched in whatever voodoo is their warm vanilla bean syrup. My veggie patch omelette was filled with fresh vegetables and accompanied with FOUR slices of toast that I slathered with butter. Home fries on the side were crispy and well seasoned. My friend got the When Harry Met Our Chilaquiles which was a brunch special and it looked equally amazing. Well done Sabrina. I'll need to come back for the cannoli French toast and the cinnamon roll pancakes next time.

The food was decent, I got an omelette, a bit overcooked for my taste but it had some good bites. Service was terrible, I had Isiah and he all but ignored me. A different server brought me water out of pity ,and when I asked for my check he forgot about me for 10 minutes. Beautiful space though.

We walked in and there was so much light! It was lovely, and the blue leather benches and booths were cozy, the wallpaper bright, the lights whimsical. There was a brunch cocktails menu, the people were friendly. But then the food came, and it was...ok. It was so very average. My egg sandwich was dry. There was just not a lot of flavor to anything. Maybe the pancakes or lunch food is better?

If you're hungry, like realllllly hungry then the food portions here may hit the spot! I ordered the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes which were good but I think the fruit compote on top was a tad too much- it became too sweet after a few bites. And like I mentioned before, the portions were huge so I couldn't finish my food. The vanilla latte was a standard latte, nothing special. My partner had the Kick Burrito and he enjoyed it. His only comment was that it had a lot of corn. Service was standard. Nothing over the top, but I didn't mind it. It was nice to not have someone checking in every two seconds. I will note that when we first sat down the sun was shining right at my face so we asked to move and without hesitation they helped us move tables. I would definitely go back and try something else on the menu but for now I give it 3 stars.

Came here for a quick brunch with my family since we are from this neighborhood, and it is safe to say that i am glad sabrina's cafe opened up here. I ordered their chicken and waffles and it was incredible. As a chicken and waffles connoisseur I found this one to be particularly enjoyable especially the chicken itself. it was juicy and crispy and well seasoned, and it paired perfectly with the maple syrup and crispy waffle. Our server was terrific being very attentive and courteous. the spot is also located in a fantastic area close to center city but with less of the center city congestion while not lacking in foot traffic. This is a nice spot for low key meet ups specially if you live in the area.

Took the opportunity to try Sabrina's Café - South Street for a business lunch. Note, if you know in advance that someone in your party has a meeting that may run long, so will be late, then Sabrina's Café - South Street may not be a good restaurant for you, as it will not seat the party until the entire party is there. On a related note, because Sabrina's Café - South Street does not take reservations, the entryway seems to fill up with people waiting for a table. Certain people were asked to wait outside in the heat* while certain others were permitted to linger in the doorway. This happened twice: the first time when 1 person was waiting alone and the second time when 3 people saw the entryway was empty and wanted to wait for the 4th person out of the sun--we'd moved to the side so we'd be out of the walkway...4-5 others arrived and were lingering in the doorway. They were not asked to wait outside. Instead our group was asked again to wait outside. I'm hoping this was merely a strange coincidence, but if not, training may be needed for a certain female hostess. That said, the service once seated was friendly and speedy and the Huevos Rancheros and special Lemon Ricotta Pancakes were both deemed delicious. I would return so long as the issue in the paragraph above is properly addressed--thankfully there are plenty of local businesses to support. *There is no shade around Sabrina's Café - South Street midday because of how it's situated on the corner of 21st and South Streets.

For my birthday weekend, went to Sabrina's for brunch! There was a wait to so we went across the street to begin with coffee. Gigi then welcomed us and was the most fantastic server who was super knowledgeable on the menu and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great dining experience. We ordered the Oreo pancakes, mimosas (passion fruit is a must try but the peach had the best presentation) and the huevos rancheros vegetarian. The decor was nice and the ambiance was super chill. Great brunch spot in the graduate hospital area! Will definitely be back!

This place is unFREAKING believable. But seriously, for the past few months, I've been going to Sabrina's on Saturday for breakfast with my family. This place is open EARLY, serves amazing food and is EXCELLENT for kids. Every weekend, my wife and I are super happy to walk in seeing "our crowd." These are the people who woke up all hours of the night to change their kid's diaper, find a stuffed animal or to give snuggles. The parents with bed head, toothpaste on their chin and a lego in their back pocket. This is our place! Our kids have made quite a mess and have been pretty loud and we've consistently only had positive and smiling waitstaff and employees reassure us over and over that it's totally cool. Now the food! We have ordered the majority of the items on the menu and none of us have ever been disappointed. The food is always fresh, always abundant and always quick to arrive, which again is ideal if you're bringing the kids. Sabrina's for the win!!! 100 stars.

This is one of the cutest Sabrina's I've seen yet. You can tell they're new with how fresh, clean, and busy it is here! The server was fantastic. The food and drinks came out fast despite the constant to-go orders going out and a full house. I had a burger with egg and my sister and Aunt both got sandwiches. All of our food was really good and the drinks were just what we needed after a run!

Came to philly for a concert and found this gem the morning after! Super quick and friendly service and awesome food! A fair warning that the stuffed French toast is MASSIVE. Would absolutely come back!

We visited Sunday 4/14. Quite a wait as the restaurant was swamped! Warning... We reserved just after 11 and we were seated just after 12. My companion's Veggie Rancheros meal was first rate but my Veggie Philly cheese steak was a bummer. Hard to manage/eat with all the moisture and the meat substitute taste didn't quite work in the sandwich (big hunks of the protein perhaps) Suggest a re-look at the recipe there. Otherwise kudos to staffers for graciously managing such a busy flock of customers.

We were looking for a good breakfast spot and googled another place. When we pulled up we saw a line for Sabrina's Cafe and without even looking at the menu put out name in for a seat. The hostess were beyond friendly and professional. Their text message system is magic, we were able to walk and hang out before we were texted, earlier than expected. We were offered a booth, which is so us.The atmosphere was young, flirty and brilliant. The seating was superb. The menu easy, but the food was unimaginable awesome !!! It was what breakfast while visiting from out of town should be. We ordered shrimp and grits; chicken and waffles, a big stack of pancakes, bacon bacon & more bacon along with eggs, home fries and toast. It was a feast and worth it. We spoke to two managers and insisted they expand north. This is a must try spot whenever your in Philly. 6/5 LEFTOVERS for breakfast. Shrimp & Grits still great‼

We were one of the first customers one a Saturday morning so there was no wait. Service was a little slow but the inside was super cute! It was very bright and airy. The food was pretty good! We got the stuffed challah toast for the table which was delicious and it wasn't too sweet. It is great to share! I got the egg sandwich which was decent. I didn't really like their home fries bc there wasn't much flavor.
