"Unlike most diners in town, the Tasty is fully vegan; otherwise, this restaurant on Columbus Park maintains that signature, charmingly dated diner look. The doors open at 8 a.m. Wednesday through Sunday for house-made baked goods like doughnuts and a limited menu including tofu scrambles, omelets, and breakfast burritos. At 9 a.m., the full menu kicks in so you can order more meat- and dairy-free goodies like waffles, pancakes, and French toast." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme, Eater Staff
"French toast made from potato brioche and a Monte Cristo sandwich made with two slices of French toast stuffed with vegan ham and chao cheese are among the top-selling breakfast items at this South Philly diner, which is celebrated for its all-vegan menu." - George Banks-Weston
"This South Philly diner prides itself on its all-vegan menu, offering tasty takes on eggs, breakfast burritos, omelets, and sweets. Here, the pancakes and waffles can be served “straight up” or with the addition of chik’n (for waffles) and blueberries or chocolate chips (for pancakes)." - George Banks-Weston
"Diners aren’t exactly known for their vegan options, so the Tasty — a fully meatless and dairy-free diner with retro decor and a relaxed vibe in Passyunk Square — turns expectations on their head. House favorites include the Deluxe Burrito stuffed with tofu scramble, tempeh bacon, and vegan cheddar topped with sour cream and spicy mayo, and the Dirty Jersey, a sandwich with vegan pork roll, tofu, egg, and cheese." - Olivia DiPasquale, Emily Teel
