I was thrilled to find a couple and made sure to work a visit into my schedule. Tinsel was great! Both floors were decorated top to bottom with spooky decorations.

I've been twice now, first time since after their temporary closure summer 2026, and the ambiance is just as welcoming and cozy. The interior gives a lot of space for dining but also study, and there's plenty of merch to purchase as well. The restaurant doubles as a café and bakery, with some of the best matcha and hojicha lattes and baked goods around. The Food Breakdown: Kanto Fried Chicken Sando (5/5) - The hot chili oil comes through each juicy bite, and the brioche is soft and just complements the overall sandwich really well. Their fries are also seasoned very well, making for a great bite.

You order at the front and then find a table upstairs. There's plenty of seating, and the interior has a really cool vibe with nice decor. The food did take quite a while to come out despite it not being too busy when we visited. We started with the ensaymada after seeing all the baked goods displayed at the front. The presentation was really eye-catching and enticed me to order it, but unfortunately, it wasn't that great. It wasn't very soft and was served pretty cold, so I really wish they had warmed it up. The cream on the outside was also pretty thin, and overall it tasted a little too bready for me. I definitely enjoyed our main dishes more. I got the kare-kare katsu, which I was excited to try since kare-kare is one of my favorite Filipino dishes and I also love Japanese katsu. The fusion sounded really interesting! It was pretty good, although I wish the sauce had more of that traditional strong peanut flavor you expect from kare-kare. The katsu itself was fairly standard, but everything still worked well together. My friend got the shredded beef tapsilog, which I actually thought was better than my dish. The beef was flavorful, and I liked that it came with a generous portion of vegetables. I definitely want to come back for their weekend brunch menu because I've heard their buko pandan pancakes are really good. We didn't realize they were only available on the weekends, which was a little disappointing. I wish some of their weekend items were available during the week too! Overall, Baby's is a pretty decent Filipino spot. A lot of the dishes feel more modernized and fusion-inspired rather than super traditional or authentic, but the food was still enjoyable. I'd come back, especially to give their weekend brunch a try!

I was very packed and people were walking around with cute little Christmas themed cups from ornaments to mugs. We didn't stay to partake in a drink since it was PACKED around the bar downstairs and we were warned to not even go upstairs. So photo op it became. They even had Abominable Snowman but he was surrounded by so many I had to grab a picture from a distance and couldn't ask if he really bounces.

Half the fun is looking around and trying to figure out which movie or TV show inspired each decoration. Christmas music plays nonstop. There's a fixed drink menu and no seating, so it's very much a stand-and-hang-out kind of place. From what we heard, it can get pretty packed later in the evening, but we arrived right when it opened at 4:00 PM and had no wait at all. It ended up being a great place to kick off the night. The cocktail list is entirely Christmas-themed--festive and fruity flavors. The cocktails are served in Christmas themed vessels. If cocktails aren't your thing, they do offer beer and seltzer options as well. It's a fun, high energy stop that's perfect for soaking in some holiday spirit.

It was a super hot night out so we asked to be seated inside and they were able to accommodate us. Apparently inside seating is actually reserved for walk-ins so good to know for those who can't get a Resy! The food was good enough but I think the ambiance of the place and the amazing service really made the experience worth it for me. Definitely don't skip the hanger steak--it's perfectly medium rare and juicy. The tomato toast was flavorful but the toast was pretty thick and hard to bite into especially around the crust, although that might just be a me problem. I look forward to doing a walk-in to try their dessert sometime before the pop-up wraps up!

I had a positive experience here on a Wednesday evening.

The guy at the entrance will ID you and give you a wristband if you think you'll want to drink and he also explained the way to order. You will want to bring your cell phone and credit card info to order from toasttab (i believe) from your table, where there will be a QR code linking the order form and your table number. There is an option in the app to also correct it if there are any mistakes but I had no issues. Note they do charge 20% gratuity which I believe is to pay their staff a better wage than minimum from what I read. A server will drop off your food and drinks once ordered and they were always very nice. I enjoyed two watermelon margs and a container of curly fries for 18.50 including gratuity. Note the margaritas are like 1/3 to 1/2 ice but again for 5$ in this part of the city it is what it is, and I know the ice will be appreciated on a hot day. Ordering from my cell phone was a great feature to have since I went alone just to check things out and not having to lose my table or worry about my stuff getting stolen was wonderful. There was plenty of seating when I got there shortly after work but maybe only 2-3 open tables by the time I left. The music wasn't too loud and it was good people watching. It is noisy considering the part of the city it's in but hey it's a convenient location for Center City workers. I will visit again for the margaritas.

I recently visited Honey's Sit 'n Eat and witnessed something that truly stood out to me…read more While we were there, a man who appeared to be homeless came in and stood by the register. I paid attention to how the staff would handle the situation. After helping the current customer, the cashier gave him a cup of juice. I didn't see any payment, so I assumed it was offered to him. As he stepped outside, I asked my husband to check if he wanted something to eat. When my husband came back, he told me he had given him money. While that was kind, I honestly would have preferred to get him food myself just to make sure he actually ate. A few minutes later, the man came back in and sat at the counter. At first, I didn't see anyone approach him, but shortly after, the staff brought him a bag with food. I'm not sure if he ordered through the take out window then came in, paid the waiter, or if it was provided to him, but either way, it meant a lot to see. He took his food and left. What stood out most was that the staff didn't ignore him, rush him out, or treat him like he didn't belong. At one point, I even heard a staff member ask if he had received his juice, which made me think this wasn't their first interaction with him. In a world where people are often overlooked or dismissed, it meant a lot to see a business show simple human kindness. Treating people with dignity and empathy shouldn't be rare--but unfortunately, it often is. For that alone, Honey's Sit 'n Eat deserves recognition. Oh... and the food is always great!

People kept raving about this place, so I decided to visit. I was seated and given a menu. Before I…read morego any further, it is important to note that I am extremely allergic to all seafood. I do not know the names of different types of seafood, and whenever I dine out, almost every server asks if there are any dietary restrictions or allergies. As I read through the menu, the dishes sounded new and delicious. I said, "This sounds great--can I try this tilapia thing?" I specifically referred to it as "this tilapia thing" because I did not know it was fish. I don't eat fish, I had no idea people eat fish for breafest and I don't know they name of any seafood. Well I know bass and salmon :-) When our food arrived, I saw that my dish contained fish. I immediately informed the waiter that I could not eat it because it was seafood. His response was, "What, you didn't know tilapia is fish?" Despite his obnoxious tone, I replied respectfully, "I had no idea that was fish."He looked at me with clear disdain and said, "Well, I still have to charge you for the fish, so what else would you like?" I replied that I did not want anything else, just the bill.I will never set foot in Honey's again. I am deeply disappointed by the way I was treated and I am not a fan of privileged individuals who believe they can treat others with disdain and disrespect. Never Again!
