The service was wonderful, the baristas are super sweet and I love the vibe of the cafe. Only thing I'm not obsessed with is their drip coffee. Their medium roast tasted kind of burnt even with adding some sugar to it. So probably won't order that again

The tiramisu latte tasted like it was tiramisu inspired but did not taste fully like tiramisu. The French toast was overly sweet and had too much cream for me personally. However the French toast itself was yummy and had a nice eggy and cinnamon-y flavor. Just got ruined by the cream for me. On the weekends, the place gets VERY packed especially on the first floor. There is an upstairs as well that has more seating. On the weekdays, is less crowded.

A little sweet towards the end if you're chugging it but truly the best blueberry flavor I've had. The chai is fragrant and the spices pair well in this drink. I regret not getting a dirty chai as I think that would help offset the sweetness a bit.

Their coffee is strong, smooth, and exactly what you need to start the day right. What truly sets this place apart is the locals' vibe: everyone knows each other by name, quick laughs bounce between tables, and friendly waves ripple down the sidewalk like one big extended family. It's the warm, genuine side of Philly and its people that too often gets overlooked--the kind of neighborhood soul that makes the city special.

Plan your visit and expect a short wait if you have a group, but it is worth it.  The gentleman/Host should be given the nickname "Maestro" due to the way he coordinated the seating, orders, and customers. He was amazing and it was quite obvious he cared about his customers (even first time visitors like us). We had a party of 6 and only had a short wait on a Sunday morning until seats could be shifted to accommodate.  The food was amazing. Good coffee started off our meal.  I had the Stack, which was delicious. Sourdough bread topped with bacon, tomato, arugula, and sunny side eggs, served with pecorina chip/hashbrowns.  Typically I'm disappointed with the amount of bacon given when something is said with bacon. This dish has ample amounts of bacon that would have even satisfied Ron Swanson! Other dishes ordered were the house omelette (goat cheese & caramelized onions) amazing, Perfectly cooked eggs Benedict, egg and cheese croissant. Everyone was very pleased with their meals, which is hard to do with a party of 6. Ants Pants is cash only, but there is an ATM on site.  I highly recommend eating here as you will not be disappointed.

I went to this place when they opened up to see it, and now I've gone back out of necessity only,…read moreand here's my review. Positives: None. I'm sorry, but there was nothing positive about this place except they had coke when the vending machine I was trying to use was unavailable. Neutrals: They have coke products and they're new, not even a year in. Neutral Criticisms: Only one door is unlocked (or at least one was when I went). The door is heavy and drags on the concrete outside. Edit: Owner said a whole spiel about the door dragging being false but the point is the door is heavy and it did drag, and the other one was locked. Not accommodating to people who may have issues with pushing heavy things. Nothing is labeled. Not in their display case, not in the section where they create your salad/sandwich. I asked what was in their tiny pastries case and the only worker who was out in front of house took a good few minutes explaining each item to the point where I didn't even want any of them. Label your items! Negatives: The menu flyers have all the prices blacked out with marker, because they obviously raised their prices compared to when they opened less than a year ago. It's tacky! And the fixture menus they have on the walls (Which are all in different styles so you can tell when they added sections in) also have price increases, but the worst part is that they're so cheaply covered you can blatantly see that they raised their prices by SEVERAL DOLLARS. Like, you'll have a big sign saying "6.95" but there's a cheap, small "8" sticker on top of the 6 so I know you raised it by $2. Also, their cans of soda cost $2 each. Plus city tax. So if you can get a bottle from a vending machine for the same price, do so. And last time I was there, I got a few of their pastries. Edit: I thought that They're buying them from some restaurant store and just heating them up. But the owner commented that they're not. That's my mistake, I just thought they were greasy and tasted old and not handmade in store, but if you want me to focus on product quality I'm glad to edit my review to focus on that. They're not worth the money. Especially with the tacky price raising. Also, just for clarification, if your desserts are actually made in Greece, to be able to have them here in America and not be stale/rotten, they were obviously frozen for shipment. Which means you bought them. Just because it says on the box made in Greece means nothing. Box pasta says made in Italy, but it's still box pasta. Also Edit: if you want me to focus on cleanliness, sure. On my way out, I did notice there were a couple tables with left behind dishes/trash from previous customers. I don't know how quick you are to clean, but seeing as the building was empty except for two two-tops eating and the mess wasn't bussed yet, I didn't think cleanliness was a priority. I stand by my review to be as accurate as I observed during my time. Just because you don't like a negative review with honest criticism doesn't make your place any better.

When I stopped in, they had a live DJ. There's a big prep area where you can watch/ guide them as they make your salad or sandwich to order. Staff were incredibly welcoming and excited to talk about their menu. I like that they have ceramic mugs of you eat in. I got a caramel macchiato. My husband got a hazelnut coffee drink in an edible cup! He enjoyed it and thought it was fun to eat the crunchy cup. Like biscotti, it wasn't too sweet.
