I’m not one to leave a review because I forget, but I had to say this place is so just underrated. It is SO good!! And extremely reasonable prices for the food. Value is 10/10. We got the cheesesteak burrito which was really good, probably our favorite, a porkie roll & it was also really really good, one of the green smoothies with mango and pineapple and it was so refreshing and a Creme brûlée latte. Highly recommend all of them!

This is the BEST breakfast sandwich in Philly easy. If you want loads of flavor this is the place for you! We got the Diablo and BLT both spicy and delicious

The breakfast croissant with cheese egg and ham was so so so good. You order via machine so not much of a service, the people of course were super nice though. The ambiente is nice but a little "cold" I guess is the right word. Still recomended.

Food and drinks came out fast. Sandwiches are loaded up and taste so good! Love the variety in the menu, great place to stop for lunch. I do wish there were more sides on the menu available to order like fries or chips. Sandwiches were smaller than expected but filled. Definitely would come back to try more things!

The food was good. Self-service ordering from kiosk. Dinning in can be tricky when busy. Your chances of getting a seat largely depend on someone leaving when they are done and not just hanging around on a laptop.

Strawberry matcha was delightful. I had the loaded lox open face bagel. Food tasted super fresh and refreshing. I also had a Vietnamese coffee that hit the spot. Vibes are chill, would totally eat here again

The classic breakfast sandwich slaps - the brioche bun is light and tasty, the eggs are fluffy and fresh, the cheese is gooey - and the atmosphere is super chill. Could use more ambiance, but it’s fine: it’s a pretty straightforward vibe with basic chairs (no living room vibes) and some plants.
