The restaurant is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch service.
“My wife and I visited CO-OP Restaurant & Bar at 20 S 33rd St in Philadelphia for Valentine’s Day, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The food was outstanding. The cast-iron skillet dish with roasted potatoes, fried eggs and fresh peppers was flavorful and short ribs perfectly prepared. The scrambled eggs were light, fluffy, and seasoned just right. The turkey sausage was wonderful. We also ordered the pancakes, which were thick, soft, and served with a generous butter and syrup a perfect balance of sweetness without being overwhelming. Beyond the food, the atmosphere made the experience even better. The setting felt warm, relaxed, and welcoming ideal for a date. It had an upscale feel without being pretentious. Service was attentive and professional. CO-OP delivered on quality, presentation, and overall dining experience. If you’re looking for a great brunch spot in University City, this is definitely worth a visit. We’ll absolutely be returning.”
“My Mama and I enjoyed our time here at Co-Op Study. Our server Craig was very personable and friendly. He made our experience fun and special. Plus, the food was delicious. Be sure to order the biscuits and pancakes. You won't regret it! Whenever I'm in Philly again, I will be returning.”
“So this was a cute restaurant. Popped up on vday they were packed and not taking walk ins. So be sure to get there early or make a reservation. We sat at the bar and had a great time! The monkey bread was interesting & delicious! I didn't do much enjoy my dish however Nicole noticed and asked for my genuine opinion and with out hesitation she assisted and took the feedback! The service was outstanding and you can tell she cared about my opinion and welcomed us to come back again! I will be back to retry my dish in a couple months!”
“7/10. Tight seating... My sister and I *LOL'ed* when the hosts was trying to seat us next to a couple 👩❤️💋👨 in a practically-empty restaurant. (I know aaaall about seating charts! The floor plan could not have shown to sit us back to back to a patron's table instead of across the room.) - Couldn't have a comfortable conversation across the talk - Bad brewed coffee - Bathroom with cleaning supplies on the bathroom counter... And the bathroom wasn't tidy. (That could be the hotel's fault, though.) - Server was quite forgetful (🫂 we didn't make a fuss about anything. If it didn't come, we went without it.) Positives: - Gentlemen staff: Very kind and attentive! From the entry point - to who say us - to farewell process - Short rib hash 😋 - Turkey sausage links”
“It's a cute spot, but i wasn't a fan of the food. Our service was good though. I got the chickpea and artichoke croquet but I truly did NOT like it. Those two things did not go together. The chicken sandwich had charred veggies but it made the sandwich taste burnt. The wings weren't the best either. The water tasted like tap instead of filtered which had a horrible taste. Not a fan of the coffee either. Honestly, i won't be back but hey, you decide for yourself.”
