Q RobersonAugust 1, 2017Decided to pop-in for a light lunch, and I'm glad I did! I got the Tuscan tuna & white bean salad, and although it was on the pricier side, it was well-worth it. Very fresh, healthy and tasted great!
Tarah FeinbergSeptember 14, 2017Really nice people, great fresh food and coffee, lots of gluten free options. They even made me some eggs to order when I asked for something a little different. Really pleasant environment.
Pure Fare believes you are what you eat, so everything is healthy and all-natural. Great place for fresh-squeezed OJ and an always changing array of nibbly bits for breakfast. The frittatas are yummy!
Brendan RastetterSeptember 18, 2014Goat brie and fig sandwich with arugula, delicious/filling homemade protein bars, and moist sweet potato muffins. These are a few of my favorite things.
I nearly fell out of my chair when I bit into their coffee cake. Great coffee flavor and surprisingly filling. Not always available so get it when you can.
I love it when the folks at Pure Fare use me as their new foods guinea pig. Last time it was their new frozen yogurt - today chocolate chip cookies made using avocado instead of butter. Both delish!- Eric HinmanNovember 16, 2013If you're looking for a healthy restaurant, this is the joint to go to. Awesome juices, smoothies, breakfast, soups, + sandwiches.
New Orleans Iced Coffee is great and it's cold brewed! Wifi password is the phone number - check it on 4sq or it's on the blackboard!
The leafy greens smoothie has just a little bit of mint. Sip in amaze-mint. (And swap cucumber for apple)
Emily KolodnerJanuary 14, 2017I had high hopes, but coming here for a breakfast sandwich was a mistake. They're not bad, but they cost $11, which is highway robbery for eggs, greens and bread. Better off going to a deli.
Joshua LeeOctober 6, 2014Great spot to sit and do some work. Definitely ask to get your sandwich heated up!
Rob CApril 20, 2012Fantastic place. Limited seating, but the food is creative, healthy and well worth repeat visits.
Amanda AlbergoFebruary 7, 2013Seriously one of the best coffees I've had in a long time. Blue bottle drip!
Mia S.January 18, 2012Try the Goat Brie and Fig, the Honey Mustard Turkey, or the Black Bean Hummus sandwiches. So fresh and delicious.
James LucasJune 8, 2012Try the Soft Serve - Nice cool vegan chocolate and coconut soft serve on a warm Philly day.
veronica timbersJune 27, 2012The organic brownies are the best! Provided free samples at Kembrel's Welcome Summer event.
Ah-mazing! Pear gorgonzola turkey on raisin walnut, turkey pesto on multiple grain, banana cookies, coffee...
Blue Bottle coffee is killer, and the salmon and salad was crazy good. $5 min on cards, FYI.
Excellent breakfast sandwiches - try their turkey egg white and feta cheese on multigrain. Very filling!
Philly BroadcasterMay 25, 2011Innovative, intimate, and sustainable. Grab a New Orleans iced coffee and ask about "My Fare." Also check out our review
The soups are extremely tasty and so lo cal, but I love how the snacks and treats are healthy, not fattylicious.
Rachel ShifmanJanuary 10, 2017Pricey first and foremost (even for center city) but pretty good cappucino
The Grilled Veggie and Zucchini Noodle bowl is the perfect warm weather lunch
The Prince of Wales tea here is absolutely amazing. A little bit floral, and delicately minty.
OliviaJuly 12, 2011Apple and grape juice! Or any kind of juice... they squeeze the fruits right there in front of you!
- Green Detox is an addicting blend of tangy and raw flavors.
Sweet potato brownie. That's all I gotta say. The staff is also helpful and easy on the eyes
Quinao skillet bread is to die forr. Wish I had the recipe!
Andy FortsonAugust 9, 2012Don't get the one day old sandwiches. The half off price is tempting, but you're ultimately going to be disappointed with your decision.
The lentil hummus gets 5/5, the turkey burger on treat days (Fridays) gets 6/5! Read more- Visit their food truck on 40th and Locust. (Credit cards accepted!)
Come for the Blue Bottle Coffee, stay for the wholesome food.

"By far the best espresso drinks in town. The crowd is a bit rarefied, but the quality of the drinks and surprisingly low prices more than make up for it."
