    Tofutti cream cheese, avocado, sun dried tomatoes and onion on an everything bagel.
    Shelly V.

    Fresh Bagel Sandwich Kerry and team member was very kind. Quality Service with a cozy dining area. Vegan and Gluten Free options. I have passed this establishment so many times. I decided to just pop in and appreciate the warm welcome from Kerry. "High Fidelity" items available.

    Our fave local coffee jawn

    Bennas is my favorite local coffee joint! It's cute, cozy, and consistently serves good, fresh coffee. I've only had their pastries a few times but we're always solid and a good selection! Indoors is warm in the winter, outdoor seating is limited but sunny in the spring. The baristas are friendly and cheerful and the wifi works, what more could you ask for.

    Art at Benna's! Save the Date: December 3, 2023 for the start of your Holiday Shopping 2-4pm
    Colleen H.

    We had so much fun! A great crown of people came out even in the rain. Art was purchased, coffee and treats. Great conversations and laughs ensued. In fact another Holiday Market will be happening soon. Be sure to check out instagram and Facebook.

    Laid-back, comfortable cafe. Delicious bagel sandwiches and a great assortment of specialty coffees. Hot and cold beverages and oodles of delicious sweets. Very kid and dog friendly. A charming neighborhood place to gather and to see original art by local artists. You can even shop and give the unique gift of art. Or snag a Benna's gift certicificate.

    Mango sticky rice-flavored vegan donut!

    Chai vegan donut also good. Everyone here seems to be a regular; tons of people stop by just to say hi, often with their friendly dogs and/or kiddos. It's my go-to place to camp out with my laptop, mostly because it's a 2-minute walk from the pool/gym at Fitness Works. Can get a little loud (mostly because it's such a small space), but I feel comfortable chilling for as long as I need to. Unlike many other coffee/WiFi spots in South Philly, it's never so crowded/busy that I feel pressured to move on so waiting people have a place to sit.

    Little pricey for the area, the iced coffee was very weak but the other stuff is good. Some of the staff could be nicer.

The inside is really modern and aesthetic, while still giving off a cozy cafe feel. Service was nothing crazy, but nothing bad either. The Yemenite Latte was a 4/10 for me. The flavor was spot on and tasted like milk with Yemeni spices and just a hint of espresso. I really wish the espresso came through more because I think that would've made it perfect. The Pistachio Sticky Bun was an 8/10 and definitely worth the hype. It was served warm and had the soft, pillowy texture of a cinnamon roll, but with a syrupy pistachio flavor. It practically melts in your mouth. The Grilled Cheese Jerusalem Bagel was basically a grilled cheese, but I loved the thin, slightly crisp shell and all the sesame seeds on the bagel. The cheese had almost a pimento cheese flavor, which I really liked. 9/10.

Our server Rachel was lovely and gave us a rundown of their specials and the menu's top hits. Our drink selections ranged from as boring as a Diet Coke to as fun as a seasonal lemonade. We were all content with our choices, though we puttered around making suggestions from their large drink menu. I typically go for a savory breakfast, but the stuffed brioche French toast was speaking to me. I can never turn down banana! The rest of our table ordered avocado toast (x2) and fried eggs with bacon. Everyone was really happy with their choices and an added bonus was that our food came out quickly. I insisted everyone at our table try a bite of my massive stuffed brioche French toast and the consensus was that it was ridiculously good. Though this spot is tiny, it is not to be missed.

Luckily, we found street parking right next to the restaurant, which was a nice surprise. When we arrived, the wait for a table of three was about 45 minutes. That's somewhat expected for a popular brunch spot on a weekend. Once seated, the service was prompt. Our waiter stopped by quickly with waters and took good care of us throughout the meal. I ordered the House Angus Burger with sweet potato fries. It was solid, flavorful, and definitely filling. My friend got the Bella Vista Omelet with home fries, and we both agreed that while the food was good, it felt like standard brunch fare rather than anything particularly memorable. Based on the long wait and the hype surrounding Sabrina's, I think we were expecting the food to really stand out. In my opinion, the dishes we tried were comparable to what you'd find at a quality chain brunch spot like First Watch. That's not necessarily a bad thing, the food was satisfying, but it didn't quite justify the lengthy wait. That said, the menu has plenty of more unique and creative options that we didn't try. I'd be open to coming back and ordering one of those specialty dishes next time. Overall, I left satisfied with the meal and service.

I made a reservation online on OpenTable. We arrived earlier than our reservation slot so we were able to walk around and take pics. Unfortunately on the night we went it was super cloudy and had been raining so the views weren't nearly as good as they could have been. There's a grand staircase that walks down into an even bigger and more open area. Up first, was a $9 hot chocolate and a $23 Bluecoat (Dirty Martini with blue cheese olives). The martini was perfect, exactly how I like it with tiny slivers of ice shards. Second, I had a $30 Gold Espresso Martini with vodka. It was also perfect. Probably the prettiest espresso martini I've ever been served. The leaf design in your drink is pretty sweet. Tons of dates here, anniversaries, vacationers, and people super dressed up. Most certainly look your best if you decide to come. Next time I'm in Philly, I'll certainly be back!
