"What a cool way to make a veggie wrap. (I ate most of it before I remembered to take a pic) I also had the dumplings and Mac and cheese. Really good vegan food. And parking wasn't difficult to find at all. Really responsible prices. The menu seems like it's from 2017- where can you get a bagel sandwich for under $8!?!? A bunch of vegan treats like donuts and brownies- personally, not my jam but I love that there are options. I play Yahtzee with my girl while we go out to eat and I won 3 games in a row. I don't know if it was my amazing Yahtzee skills, the ambience of Joy Cafe, or a combination of both...but I left victorious. PS- the staff is very nice!"

"Today, I stopped by to enjoy a delicious sausage breakfast sandwich, featuring in-house vegan sausage, tomato cheese, and maple mustard on an everything bagel. Priced at just around nine bucks, it is a fantastic value. This meal is not only filling but also incredibly tasty. Sometimes, I opt for the "dont go bacon in my heart," another delightful breakfast option with homemade coconut bacon, chickpea flax eggs, cheese, tomato, and maple mustard. The Ramen here is top-notch in the city, and their wraps, like the super veggie wrap, are huge and satisfying. If you follow a vegan diet, this is the place for you. The owner, Alice, has been running this establishment for over two decades for a reason. In my opinion, this is the best vegan restaurant in Philadelphia, and I have never been disappointed. They offer a wide variety of menu items, with 99% made in-house, down to the cashew cheese. The bread they serve is also excellent, sourced from outside vendors. The portion sizes are generous, making it a great value. Their fresh pressed juices and smoothies are some of the best in the city. I make it a point to visit as often as I can, whether you are a local or just passing through. If you're vegan, this place is a must-visit."

"Love how natural the place looks and the food was amazing as well. Love visiting only vegan places. The prices are very reasonable as well"

"Everything I had here was phenomenal. Have only done vegan cafes a few times and usually I'm not a huge fan, but this spot had great food, super friendly staff, and a cool/fun space. Was impressed with how delicious the "eggs" were. Highly recommend!"

"⭐ Joy Café – Philadelphia, PA ⭐ Rating: 8/10 on the Osiris Hotness 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Scale Joy Café is one of those delightful local spots that make exploring Philadelphia even better. Located conveniently near other local attractions, it’s the perfect stop whether you’re sightseeing, meeting friends, or just looking to take a relaxing coffee break. The first thing that stands out is the staff’s warm and welcoming attitude. They genuinely seem happy to have you there — which adds a nice personal touch that many travelers appreciate. The café offers both indoor and outdoor seating, and while the inside feels cozy and inviting, I especially enjoyed sitting outdoors. The area has a calm, urban charm that lets you soak in the neighborhood atmosphere while enjoying your drink. My coffee was flavorful and well-made, though slightly cooler than ideal. The outdoor space could use a small bit of TLC — maybe a refreshed setup or a few new plants — but it’s still a pleasant spot overall. Despite those minor details, Joy Café has real character. It’s not trying too hard, yet delivers exactly what travelers look for: friendly service, relaxing vibes, and a great location. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re exploring Philly! ☕💛"
