Jake SmithAugust 26, 2015Get here EARLY and order either the fresh fruit pancakes (blueberry, peach, pumpkin, etc), latkes, or the biscuits and gravy. Great breakfast and the cool, homey atmosphere.

Emma McTagueDecember 9, 2016You have to get Jeb's open-faced biscuit sandwich. Huge and I couldn't finish but it's everything you could want in a breakfast. Coffee is good too.

Jade AtkinsApril 7, 2019Lovely brunch with solid vegan options. The tempeh bacon was so tasty. Huevos rancheros with scrambled tofu was strong.

MeliciousJanuary 14, 2013One of the only places in the city that has biscuits and gravy on the menu! Biscuits are really sweet, gravy with cubed hot sausage chunks. Still delicious.Upvoted Dec 11, 2024
Philadelphia MagazineAugust 14, 2012Try Honey's scrapple. Whether served simply or stuffed into a buttermilk pancake with scrambled eggs and maple syrup (the Breakfast Bomb) you really can’t go wrong. Read moreUpvoted Dec 11, 2024
John GrimesApril 23, 2013Expect this place to be crowded. Because it is good enough to always be crowded. Fun takes on standard fare and not afraid to make both healthy and not-so-healthy comfort food. Excellent dining!
Alison TSeptember 4, 2011You can wait at the cute tea shop down the street and they'll call you. It's busy because it's awesome. Get a buttermilk biscuit and cover it in the blueberry preserves on the table.Upvoted Dec 11, 2024
Perfect spot for a late brunch when you had an early morning and an afternoon nap got you. They have friend green tomatoes just like my grandmothers. So yummy
Philly.comAugust 3, 2014The neighborhood's answer to South Philly's for the hipster brunch. The menu is an appealing blend of (matzo balls), Southern (chicken- fried steak), but the flavors aren't always quite in register.

John D'AgostinoJuly 3, 2016Great Food and excellent service. We're visiting from Florida and enjoyed this neighborhood eatery. I had a egg and cheese on a sweet roll great breakfast sandwich.
DanOctober 13, 2013Go with Jeb's Open Faced Biscuit Sandwich. Be sure to save some bread or part of your biscuit and put some of the blueberry sauce on it. It's a sweet surprise!

Dana La GattutaFebruary 20, 2012Best eggs benedict I've ever had. It's made over holla and the hollandaise sauce is made with Cheyenne! Yum. Get freshly squeezes juices too. Worth the wait.Upvoted Dec 11, 2024
If there's a line, put your name on the list and stay put. If they call your name and you're not there they'll go on to the next party. Saw the tip about the tea shop, but haven't tried it.
Tristan RhodesideApril 24, 2017Best breakfast on Philly. Great favorites like pancakes and eggs, but also plenty of daily specials. Be sure to BYOB- Josh MateoSeptember 14, 2014Super friendly staff and the food is great! Try out the specials or the breakfast bomb with bacon, potato latkes, and apple sauce.
janelle guntherJuly 23, 2017Toad in the hole is the perfect size for a moderate appetite. The side of micro-greens offset the richness of the brioche/egg/cheese/truffle.
Stephanie LinAugust 6, 2012If you come with a party of more than 4 on the weekends, be prepared to wait as they only have 2 tables that can accommodate larger parties. Def try the key lime french toast! So flavorful!

Jean TranJanuary 31, 2016Always a long wait. The whole party must be present when you're up next on the wait list or you'll lose your spot.- Ali S.November 10, 2012Get the Mac and cheese pancakes. I was skeptical too but they are the bomb!Upvoted Dec 11, 2024
