Suggestions for Café near Bella Vista - Southwark, Philadelphia

Joshua S. • August 11, 2013Fantastic James Beard nominated bakery and cafe now with sushi and banh mi at the new location. Try the almond croissant.

Ramon R. • July 30, 2016My first time there and had the short rib Benedict and cheese grits everything was amazing. Will be going back to try the walnut brownie French toast👍👍👌👌

Andre W. • August 18, 2014Absolutely do not enter the starbucks on south street. The espresso here is of course just way way better. The bonus is that the cafe is also a very spacious & quiet place with friendly staff.

Jahy T. • July 24, 2012The most flavorful panini I ever had, not dry, well built. Came wit a glass of wine and dessert. Tirimisu was great, Terminis made. I hear the gnocci is the best and I will definitely return.

Julie C. • October 19, 2013The Zen smoothie and High Protein Grilled Cheese or Deconstructed Guacamole Salad are the way to go if you are a vegertarian! So delish and healthy too!

Patrick W. • March 8, 2015Awesome old-time feel brunch spot. The French toast is amazing. Great local spot.

Jenna D. • May 9, 2016Everything is amazing, you can't go wrong here! Lisa is incredibly friendly and makes the best crêpes!

Sandra R. • July 9, 2022Amazing seasonal drinks: stop by in winter for the solstice latte (ft. orange zest, dark chocolate and cayenne pepper). Or get an iced coffee and pose by a South Philly mural.

Marianna H. • June 9, 2010Love this little cafe! Really good coffee!

Bill C. • August 5, 2018Great place with superb atmosphere!!!

Christian P. • February 6, 2021Seasonal lattes are great, plus they have Hello Donuts on the weekend.

Michael H. • November 12, 2017They didn't have what I asked for when I asked for a hazelnut latte but they did have an adequate replacement with a mocha one. It was a little pricey, at more than five bucks for a 16 oz.

Gab B. • January 20, 2018The friendliest baristas in Philly. The breakfast sandwiches are so good - get The Holy Diver 😍

Celeste • November 4, 2010Making breakfast sandwiches again.;)

Abby • April 8, 2023One of the best bakeries I’ve ever been too, and luckily it’s in my neighborhood! Loafs of bread are 🙌🏼 plus the 🤤 pastries and even a 💪🏼 salad! Can’t go wrong. Nice people too.
