Cafe Ole is a cozy inviting place! After being out in the cold, my friend and I stopped in for something warm. I read of tea, we both decided to get the carrot ginger soup. It is a big bowl of soup! It was smooth with a good carrot taste to it. The ginger made it extra warming. It also came with a large pita bread. It was a perfect snack to warm us up! The staff is wonderful! Very friendly! The space is nice and bright with lots of tables inside and also outside in warmer weather. read more

I have been here 2 times and maybe I'm just not ordering the right things. I have gotten pastries and drinks and I fear that I'm missing something for this to be typically rated so high. The drinks are just okay and the pastries are as well! I also think the vibe of the place is so strange, there's nothing 'ole' esk at all. HOWEVER I find the service to be awesome. I believe that's what sets this place apart. Will be back for real food. read more

An adorable spot to pop into when in Old City, Cafe Ole has drink and breakfast options for any palate (vegan to non.) I love their avocado toast with a sunny side up egg as well as their breakfast wraps with simple ingredients to your liking. Their raspberry chai is ridiculous and sweetened perfectly for an oat milk latte. The staff has the memory of an elephant if you become a regular or just in general even when it's busy! read more

Cafe Ole is a great place to stop by for a cup of coffee or fancy tea and a snack. But who knew how great their full service menu is! First truly beautiful day in a while my friend's son and I met for brunch at Cafe Ole - sitting outside and soaking up the sun. We both had the deliciously prepared American Omelet. The peppers were fresh and roasted - potatoes crispy, croissant chocolate-y. As an added bonus my friend's son is an EMT and I learned from him they give free coffee and teas to these guys for their service. Love that! Spend a relaxing afternoon here - it's a perfect local place with a varied menu very well prepared! read more

A great place to have a shakshuka! I usually get the regular but apparently the one over hummus is another variation to try according to my man. He usually gets the Moroccan style with the green olives and chicken m. I love the olives. I need to try the tuna sandwich but I keep ending up with the shakshuka when we eat in. The Nutella puff was delicious too. And normally I get a cafe au lait or latte when I'm in the mood read more

We really loved the food and service here. The staff was really friendly and helpful explaining the various options they've got for both food and drinks. They have a lot to choose from. The hummus veggie shakshuka was enormous and quite good. I think two people might be able to split an order, but this time we each ordered our own and walked away with leftovers. Their coffee was delicious and I really enjoyed my latte here. Lots of the other customers came in for coffee and other drinks, including some iced teas with fresh mint that looked quite nice. The restaurant has a cozy, loyal-local type vibe and is definitely worth a return visit, read more

My coworker and I planned to walk the Benjamin Franklin Bridge nearby and I really had to pee so we stopped here to use the restroom. I wanted to be a good person so I made a purchase to use the restroom. The workers were are rude and rough. I don't think they care for customers. They were rude to other customers, so I'm not special at all. There's a lot of serve yourself, grab it yourself, deal with it yourself over there. They took forever to take my order, but eventually I ordered a small iced Vanilla Latte with OatMilk ($4.50 + 0.75 + 0.75). Get the lid and straw yourself over there. Not shocked. What makes it worse?? THE DRINK WAS AWFUL. Should have just peed and left. Why do I have to go and be a good person. I literally threw the drink away at the bridge entrance so I don't get stuck holding a gross drink. From the other reviews, it sounds like their food is decent, but I can only speak to my awful encounter. read more

My friend and I stumbled upon this little gem while meandering the streets of Old City the day after running the Philly Marathon. She's vegan and I'm gluten and dairy free, so stumbling across a place that meets both our dietary restrictions was incredible. Even more incredible was the delicious food. So much so that I came back three weeks later with my daughter and got the same thing. The hummus is out of this world. I just scooped it up with my GF toast and then dipped it into the yolk of the eggs. So, so good. If you aren't super hungry you could definitely share as the portion is enough for two. The dirty chai was perfect. Not too heavy on the espresso and not too sweet. Just right. My daughter was amazed by the tiny glass bottle of Diet Coke. She's a pretty picky eater but she said it was the best avocado toast she'd ever eaten.... Like it was whipped avocado. Absolute perfection. A bustling little joint so I felt pretty lucky to be able to snag seats both times we were there. read more

My partner and I came in on a Sunday morning. We ordered right away, got a table, and got our food pretty quickly. We shared the vegetable hummus shakshuka and it was the perfect amount for us. Shakshuka is sometimes too tomato forward (I know, I know) but it had really good flavor and the hummus cuts into the straight tomato flavor so I really enjoyed it. The veggies also gave it added texture and fun. Highly recommend for both shakshuka lovers and those who sometimes enjoy shakshuka! read more

This came as a recommendation on an article about spending one day in Philly and I'm so glad it did. I had the vegetable shakshuka and the flavor is unbelievable!! I was taken straight back to Europe with this!! Please try it!! My husband loved his goat cheese omelette and everything else was on point! I had an espresso which was also very comparable to my espresso experience in France. Excellent execution, freshness, and flavor. Food gains 5 stars. Service, ambiance, and cleanliness all gain 5 stars. The facility was clean, staff friendly and helpful but busy for sure, and regardless of the busy it was clean! Great job guys!!

I tried their coffee right away( coffee nerd), and it was lovely so I was sure food would be great too, and when A friend of mine advised me that place has good for "breakfast shakshuka" I wanted to try it right away. Loved the Shakshuka Hummus breakfast, size is great for 2 people (huge plate with 3 eggs, lots of hummus, tomatoe paste and little bun) and also enjoyed the Salsa Omlette- it had lovely Brie cheese melted inside, which is bomb is you like cheese at all!side salad also reminded me of Greek food in a way. Waffles were alright, but than again, this place is popular for breakfast things like omlettes or shukas, and waffles are for boring people ... read more

I ordered the baklava here and it was really disappointing. The layers tasted really stale for some reason, and not sure if it was the pastry, oil or butter, but something definitely tasted like it had gone bad. The filling was also far too sweet. I couldn't taste any of the nuttiness I look for in a baklava. Maybe I got a bad batch? On the plus side, each triangle ($3.95) was really large- definitely big enough to share. Unfortunately, neither my friend nor I wanted to finish it. Might be a good place to chill and do some work. I saw quite a few people with their laptops. Probably wouldn't be back for the food again. read more

This review is a hard one to do. I'll start with all the positives: my husband and I stopped by for breakfast a day we were in the city. We were called in by the fun small coffee shop look. We both ordered lattes and they were truly one if the best lattes we both have ever had. I would definitely recommend Cafe Olé's coffee -- truly worth it. The staff was nice. The issue for us was in the food we ordered. Perhaps we just ordered the wrong things off the menu. Unfortunately the Pesto Omelette was one of the worst things I have ever tried. I don't even know how to explain it but the omelette was leaking of how wet it was, it tasted horrible. The omelette does have tomatoes inside but to me that still does not justify the taste and consistency. It felt like someone who had no idea how to make an omelette decided to try it for the first time and that came out. My husband got a stack of pancakes that were ok at best. Neither of us were able to finish our food because of how it tasted. Not to mention it was also very expensive (especially considering the quality). This definitely makes me sad because we wanted to find another wonderful breakfast place to eat in the city but this one was not it. Again, if we were walking by again we would definitely step in for their coffee. read more

I think this is a must get along with a hummus. me and my sister are vegetarian, we share a hummus and a labneh and are decently full after those. we also snack on some small plates for the table (fries and olives) and leave full. Israeli Pickles and Olives: comes with two ramekins filled with varying sized pickles, not pitted olives, and some tiny yellow peppers I *think* are either pepper-chinos or at the very least taste similar. they also come with a small ramekin for the olive pits. The yellow peppers are very spicy, but I loved them. the olives are green, and i'd consider them friendly olives for those who are particular around olives. pickles were great as expected. French Fries: easy order for the table. portion is large and I think $8 is a steal for the quantity and quality. comes with a yummy ketchup my sister loves (she is considered a ketchup hater). COCONUT MALABI: I did not know what to expect. and honestly, first bite I was a bit confused by the texture, but by the end, I really liked it. its a thick pudding consistency, smooth, has a decent bounce to it, not too sweet at all, subtle coconut flavor. has a strawberry (I think) jam situation on top with some sort of crunchy thing. will be getting that again for sure. we had three people split this and it was enough. would consider getting two for four people though. service was quick, efficient, and kind. love the atmosphere. it has a sort of lively fun vibe to it. also we were in and out pretty quick without being rushed at all which is nice. just efficient. Also, I haven't tried them yet but they have a good little mocktail menu for those who don't drink!

If you haven't been since the renovation, be prepared for an entirely new, full-service restaurant space complete with a revamped menu, including entree plates, hummus, sandwiches, and desserts. The standout of the restaurant is still the hummus with jammy egg, but dishes like the sabich are very tasty (if not a little salty) in their own right. The atmosphere is fun and trendy while still being casual, and the cocktails are a fun pairing with the food. Overall, 4.5/5.

Marrakesh Restaurant

Marrakesh is one of my absolute favorite places to eat in Philadelphia!!…read more I wish it existed in more cities. This is a multicourse journey through Marrakesh that cannot be repeated anywhere else except for maybe in the real Marrakesh. From the Bastilla pastry, which is DIVINE, to the salads, the chicken and kebabs... all the way to the baklava and tea.... there is no bad bite at Marrakesh. The owners are welcoming and super amenable and make you feel like you're coming home every single time you visit. It's in a odd location, and you may feel like you are making a questionable life decision as you walk up the alley to the door, but when you arrive, you realize that in fact, it was one of the best decisions you've made in years!! When you enter, it's like you've been transported to a beautiful room in Morocco. The music, the decor, even the authentic seating make for an unforgettable experience. And if you get really lucky, you also get to see the belly dancers who are top notch! There is not a single thing I can think of to say that Marrakesh needs to improve. It is a one of a kind experience that I feel everyone should have at least once in life!

My husband, daughter and I shared the mixed plate for two, which was plenty for the three of us. We ate beef kabobs, Chicken Adana (my favorite), chicken thighs, Turkish meatballs and lamb kabobs. Served with the most flavorful salad, sautéed vegetables and rice, the mixed plate is a great option if you haven't zeroed in on something specific. No corkage fee, helpful and pleasant staff, casual unhurried vibe .... I love this place!

It's my mom's favorite restaurant in Philly by a long shot, and maybe even her favorite restaurant in the world. The first time I came, you had to pick one main for the table. We were split between a fish dish and grape leaves and ultimately decided on the fish, but our waitress brought a small portion of the grape leaves for us anyways. They always do something special like that, and it's an amazing touch that makes the experience so special! I like that they've changed it so each person picks a main, as it gives you the opportunity to try more things. Their signature lamb shoulder is great (and I have hated every other lamb I've had), and the fish dishes are always excellent. The best thing imo, though, is the crispy Persian rice! Philly has a lot of amazing food, but Zahav is up there for a reason. If you're lucky enough to snag a reservation it's worth the splurge. Clear space in your fridge for lots of leftovers before you get home!

For drinks, I chose the Galia "by Zahav" Red Blend and my friend got the Galia "by Zahav" White. Both were fantastic! The red was medium-bodied with notes of blackberry and the white was perfectly crisp and refreshing. We started with the Salatim (included with dinner), which were so tasty. My favorites were the Hummus, Zucchini with Corn, and Babaganoush. Next, we shared the Grilled Halloumi (absolutely insane), Date-Harissa Wings (very good), and Tuna Tartare (light and tasty). We weren't starving, so the only item we got from the grill was the Eggplant, which we loved. This was already way too much food for us, and we had plenty of leftovers to bring home. The desserts (two types of soft serve) were also included, but I think we were too stuffed to fully appreciate these. Overall, this was an incredible meal and service was seamless! Highly recommend coming with a larger group, so that you can try more of everything.

The restaurant immediately stands out with its beautiful design and modern atmosphere. It's one of those places that's incredibly Instagram-worthy, and throughout the evening we noticed plenty of people taking photos both inside and outside the restaurant. Everything was clean, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, making it a great setting for a special occasion. Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Food - 5/5 Parking - Street Parking Atmosphere - The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a modern and upscale feel. Every detail seems carefully thought out, from the lighting to the overall design of the space. It's easy to see why so many people stop to take pictures here. The restaurant was spotless and created a great atmosphere for celebrating with friends and family. Service - Service was excellent throughout the evening. Our waitress was personable, friendly, and attentive without being intrusive. The staff did a great job making sure our group was taken care of, and everything flowed smoothly despite the size of our party. What We Ordered - -Wagyu Dumplings - Filled with feta, onion, and lemon mint yogurt. Very good, rich and flavorful with a nice balance from the yogurt. -Crispy Rice - Topped with tuna, avocado, and olive. Also very good, with great texture contrast and fresh flavors. -The Spreads - Served with fresh pita bread and spiced rice crackers. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. -Shrimp Kadaifi - Very good. Crispy, flavorful, and a great starter. -Charred Octopus - A must-order dish. Extremely tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. -Lamb Ribs - Another standout item. The meat was incredibly tender and practically melted in your mouth. -Filet Mignon Kebab - Very good. Tender, well seasoned, and cooked perfectly. -Chilean Sea Bass - Flaky, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. -Lamb Chops - Cooked perfectly medium rare and paired with amazing layered potato fries. Easily one of the best dishes of the night and another must-order item. -Braised Short Rib - Served with dill bao buns and pickled onions. The short rib was rich, tender, and paired really well with the light acidity from the pickled onions and the soft bao buns. -Chicken - Served with basmati rice and packed with great flavor. Final Thoughts - This was an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was beautiful, the service was excellent, and every dish we ordered was delicious. It's not often that an entire table agrees on so many menu items, but Almyra delivered across the board. We would absolutely return again, and I would highly recommend it for special occasions, celebrations, or anyone looking for a memorable meal.

I had the opportunity to visit Greece for the first time a few years ago, and while I always liked…read moreGreek/Mediterranean food, the trip 'heightened my senses', and I now seek out the food I enjoyed so much during my visit. Almyra - I happened to walk by it a few weeks ago, I didn't know it was there. I thought, 'looks very nice, I'll have to try it'. The restaurant, which features 'modern Greek' is part of the Estia Group, which includes 7 restaurants - 3 of which are in Philly (Estia and Pietro's are the other two). I went for dinner this evening on a Wednesday, and there was a good crowd - the restaurant is quite large, and it's decorated beautifully. I started with three of the Spreads - Smoked Eggplant, Beet, and Hummus. It was wonderful trying these 3 - I spread them on the pita and crispy rice crackers - and tried them separately - spoonful by spoonful, to really taste the differences. The Edamame Hummus has a unique flavor and texture with tahini and garlic. The Beet features roasted beets blended with labneh and garlic and topped with pistachio and feta. The Smoked Eggplant with peppers and balsamic rounds out the 3 with a deep, smoky flavor and a soft, smooth texture. I always look for 'classic' Spanakopita these days, but rarely find it. The dish at Almyra was labeled 'Spanakopita Manti' - I asked my server, what that was. She said it was a favorite of hers, a fried 'flower shaped' pastry filled with blended spinach and feta, served with tzatziki and leeks. I ordered them and they were heavenly - lightly battered, crispy fried 'flowers', with a creamy spinach center, that tasted exactly like spanakopita should. I dipped every bite in the creamy tzatziki and thoroughly enjoyed the appetizer! While pork is the most popular meat in Greece, lamb is a dish served on special occasions and holidays. I 'discovered' lamb in Greece, as I hadn't ordered it that often when I would go out to eat....specifically the lamb chop. Almyra has a great lamb chop! It's seared on the grill - and I do mean seared - the deep char definitely adds to the flavor. The 3 large chops are Australian lamb, herb marinated for days highlighting the flavor of the meat. They are seasoned with sea salt, cracked pepper and olive oil for a tender finish. I like my meat pink inside - not red or rare. Cooking lamb chops medium to medium well is no small feat, yet the meat was cooked exactly the way I liked. They were tender and very juicy. These chops may have been some of the thickest I've had - and I made the 'mistake' of trying to eat them with a fork and knife. Wrong! If you order chops, you 'MUST PICK THEM UP' and eat them! What a difference!! The meat just came right off the bone and it enhanced both the texture and flavor! I'm not sure why eating them off the bone was so different, but I can't emphasize it enough - and, it's a lot more fun! Part of the treat when you order ribs are the 'layered potato fries' you get with them! These aren't your ordinary fries, in fact, they're really not fries - they are little potato masterpieces! The fries are prepared by thinly slicing potatoes and layering them to create a multi layered texture that rocks! They are truly a savory, rich side dish to the lamb chops! After such an epic dinner, I had to order dessert, and the Olive Oil cake immediately caught my eye. It was a two layered cake with a creamy custard like center and a citrus orange topping. It was light and moist, accompanied by a scoop of vanilla gelato resting on a bed of ground pistachio nuts! It was delicious and a wonderful ending to a great meal!

I've had accounts with nearly a dozen banks over the years, and Capital One stands out as my favorite. They strike a rare balance between digital innovation and authentic, in-person service, and this location exemplifies that in a distinctive way. Capital One's app is excellent, intuitive, reliable, and more comprehensive than most. Features like Zelle are seamlessly integrated, and overall, it feels like a true "hub" for managing your finances. Additionally, Capital One's ATM network is impressive. I've been able to withdraw funds fee-free across platforms like Venmo, Chime, and PA unemployment, which I haven't seen matched elsewhere. The machines themselves are highly functional, offering deposits and multiple bill denominations, with a level of flexibility you don't typically see. What's more, you can withdraw cash without your debit card by scanning a QR code displayed on the ATM screen using the app on your phone, which is incredibly helpful if you ever lose your wallet or find yourself without it. For added convenience, inside the branch, there's a dedicated machine that issues cashier's checks digitally. This greatly simplifies and accelerates what is typically a manual, time-consuming task. The 17th and Walnut café is impressive--the coffee is genuinely good, and the 50% discount for Capital One account holders is a great perk. It also serves as a free coworking space with reservable breakout rooms, adding real utility and a strong sense of community. Above all, the people and culture here foster a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The team is consistently courteous and approachable. Special thanks to Jessie (sp?) with the Capital One sneakers, who is always exceptionally friendly, offers treats for our dog, and connects so well with our kids. All of this exemplifies the broader Capital One culture, which is rare in financial services. I'm a big supporter of both this branch and the broader Capital One brand. Thank you!
