“very yummy restaurant, you could tell the ingredients were fresh and the food was delicious! a little pricy but pretty much everything is these days and the atmosphere and service were great as well. I loved the decoration and natural lighting. the pizza crust was the best I've had in a while, chewy with a nice char.”
“Love the breakfast here, French toast is a fantastic custard like delicacy! I may stop back next week to try an evening meal.”
“I stopped in with some friends to have breakfast. The building is quiet and clean. I had the shakshuka and an espresso martini which was very good. The service was good too.”
“Met up with friends from our trip to Switzerland & Austria on Sunday. We met at Walnut Street Cafe as they were traveling from NYC back to Virginia. 3 hours of catching up! Great fun. Brunch was good. Great service (thanks Haley!) at a super convenient location. Food was pretty good. Nothing fancy. My steak and eggs tasted great, but they clearly missed medium rare and over easy. My chocolate peanut butter gelato was fine, but not fresh. Started off with mimosas that I forgot to snap a picture of. Great way to spend a Sunday morning and the weather turned out great by the time we were done!”
“Came for sunday brunch while visiting philly..read good things about this place so wanted to check it out. Got the shoe string fries which were so good..chicken and waffles were ok..waffles very very sweet for me but im sure theres alot of people of love that..chicken was good. Husband liked the breakfast pizza. Nice espresso martinis and prosecco bottle with juice choice option. Was a little disappointed there was no live music as mentioned in many reviews and social media posts(was a selling point to be honest). I had also mentioned when making a reservation it was my husband birthday and also also brought it up in the restauraunt in the hope it would be acknowledged at some point but i guess not. Service was ok dispite our waitress disappearing for a good while. If you are looking for a VERY low key sunday brunch i guess this is a good choice. Overall was ok but was expecting a little more.”
