What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"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."
"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!"
"I really wanted to like this place , I live in the building, and the ambiance is genuinely great, but the food has consistently been a disappointment. On one visit, the chicken in my chicken burger was still frozen in the middle. Another time, I ordered a waffle that tasted store-bought rather than freshly made. Their salads also tend to taste stale, which only adds to the feeling that much of the food might be pre-prepared or frozen rather than made to order. In a city full of excellent restaurants, this one unfortunately falls into the bottom ten percent for me. I hope they improve, because the space itself is lovely, but until then, I can’t recommend it based on the food alone."
"I've been wanting to go here for many years, so finally took the opportunity to do so last weekend for brunch with a friend. Because people are typically away at the shore for summer weekends, it was easy for us to book a quick reservation that morning. The decor is cute, modern and clean with bright lighting throughout the space. Once I came in, I was immediately checked in and seated. All of the staff were very friendly and polite. Our waiter (think his name was Logan) was also super personable, gave good energy when interacting with us and had a good balance of attentiveness & letting us enjoy our food/time. We decided to order a few dishes to split and sample. Salmon Cake Eggs Benedict was unfortunately a let down for me - the salmon Cake seemed over cooked and tasted a bit plain/not seasoned. The Brioche French Toast with the peach bourbon cheesecake topping was amazing! That topping really added a good touch to the already well made french toast slices. And the side Biscuit and Gravy was shockingly good. We also had Rum Punch as our cocktail drink which was made very well. Overall, we had a good dining experience. There are a few other brunch items I want to try out, so definitely hope to come back again soon."
"Love the breakfast here, French toast is a fantastic custard like delicacy! I may stop back next week to try an evening meal."
"Headed over for an early lunch on Wednesday with our party of two and got seated immediately. They had a pretty straightforward menu and a special crab fest..."
