Always a great experience here. The food is fresh, nicely presented, and delicious. The staff is pleasant and efficient. The restaurant is clean and has great vibes. It also had varied seating options: Dining room, outside, or cafe/coffehouse type seating that overlooks the outdoor area. Love it!

Chilaquiles are so rich I couldn't finish them, but I kinda liked that they didn't let the chips soak through like normal chilaquiles as the texture change was needed. (Hot sauce in pic was added by me)

EXCELLENT. Very good food, fast service, friendly and polite waiter. We had forgotten to ask for separate checks; he was quite OK with replacing the single check with two, correctly divided.

Still one of my favorite spots in Philly. It's a special place to catch up with family and friends. The menu is amazing at any time of year.

The Gold Standard has become my new favorite neighborhood hangout! Reasonably priced and skillfully made food and coffee, ample seating, and friendly staff are just a few of the things that have made me choose this place slightly more often nowadays over Satellite (even though they’re also one of my favorite neighborhood coffee shops). Among my preferred food selections are the chocolate chip pancakes (pictured) and the French toast; not to mention the egg and cheese sandwiches are wonderful as well. They also feature a myriad of baked goods in their pastry case and it always takes so much willpower to not opt for one! Most importantly it’s a very chill environment to get work done or just enjoy time with friends.

It's a small cafe which gets crowded quick! There are a few outside tables. The food was good and plentiful. I had banana pancakes w/turkey sausage. My niece had the breakfast bowl. I would definitely go again.

When I lived in West Philly, I stopped here quite a bit, especially since I caught the trolley right outside of it. SO. GOOD. I love the wraps, and the breakfast/brunch here does not mess around. They make a great chai, and the chocolate bomb cupcakes are amazing. I need to go back!

I went on a Sunday morning and it was a pretty popular place but the wait was only about five minutes. My friend got the breakfast nachos and I got the crispy Nutella French Toast. The food was amazing, well priced, and the customer service was excellent. I would def recommend this eatery. They also have a small bakery in front with delicious treats and coffees.

this is the new eatery in a very walkable area. The architecture of the building is amazing. The establishment appears clean and orderly and there is both outdoor and indoor eating available. This establishment is near the atlas of the world. You may want to check that out before you go into the restaurant. Parking could be challenging while visiting this eatery. But it is in a particularly sunny spot and if you like to walk there are plenty of sites to see around

Food is outstanding, and I've ordered here numerous times. Vegan options are amazing-- try the Vegan Rueben and the Vegan Pancakes. My non-vegan friends and family also enjoy their food. It also delivers really well-- always fresh and still warm.

Great breakfast spot. Good food & nice people. They can use some additional help during the busy time so customers are not waiting 20 minutes to pick up an order that was called in. Called in an order was told 15 minutes, got there in 20 and had to wait an additional 20 in line.They need a line just for orders that were placed over the phone.

I usually come here for brunch on Sundays, Good spot with many vegan options. Staff is super friendly and attaentive. Food is great, Only complaint is its a bit tight and packed some days. The wait could be long, Other then that I approve and will definitely be a repeat customer.

This is one of my absolute favorite places to go for breakfast/lunch! They have so many vegetarian and vegan options and the food is delicious. Prices are on point for portion size and the vibes in the restaurant are comfy and chill. Definitely worth checking out.
