The matcha iced lattes are so good! The sandwiches are delicious, and the service is quick. The setting is really nice with cute decor and enough seats upstairs so I can always find a seat. read more

A nice little cafe near Washington Square. Korean and American breakfast/lunch food. Bulgogi, egg, and cheese--about as close to getting a Philly cheesesteak for breakfast, without actually getting a cheesesteak for breakfast. $0.60 credit card fee, which is mentioned on a sign at the register. Biggest downside: their storefront is confusing. They have two entrances. You wouldn't know it by looking at it, but you're supposed to use the basement entrance to get to the ordering area. read more

Small korean-american cafe. Located on walnut street across from washington square park, this little cafe is easy to miss since the entrance is tucked underneath a building. Take the staircase downstairs into this unassuming cafe and you'll be greeted with a warm welcome by the staff. Best chai latte in the city. Sandwiches are a little small but the price is fair and tastes pretty good. Had the pork sandwich on a croissant. Ample seating upstairs which is nice to get work done. read more

Such a cute little homey coffee and food place in the city. Got a warm comfortable feel to it. The service is so nice and friendly. It's a little tucked in and may be easy to miss if you're just walking around. But I'd hope to be back soon. Looks like a great spot to work or study too and have some healthy food and good coffee. read more

I only grabbed a few items to-go when I was here, but the cafe seemed spacious, the service was friendly, and everything I got was good. Amidst other bougie Washington Square establishments, Walnut Cafe seems like the place for locals. read more

Wow wow wow 10/10 HIGHLY must go. The drinks are phenomenal. First time there and Ashley the barista made me what she recommended and it was super refreshing. I went to their Instagram @cafe.walnut and found it was a secret menu item! I will choose them over boba tea or Starbucks any day. What a cute little cafe. Loved the cozy atmosphere and such spacious occupancy on the second floor. The place is decorated with some really neat artwork as well. Lots of delicious treats to choose from too. But the drinks...THE DRINKS!!! Get any or all of them. Had to go back and order more for their Instagram suggestions. They have some of the prettiest drinks I've ever tried. read more

Lovely little cafe my friends and I stumbled upon, on a Sunday morning! We all ordered breakfast bagels/croissants, all were yummy. The upstairs seating area is super cozy and inviting space. read more

Cafe Walnut - Egg and cheese bagel - Salad Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Decent chicken salad sandwich, but the place is really dirty. Sat at a small table downstairs in their basement shop. The cracks in the red paint were black with grime and lack of strong cleanser for too long. Same for the floor and back shelves and undercounted storage space. Need to do better and care more, even if never inspected by L & I. read more

Had their bibim salad and it was great! Super nutritious, light, and flavorful. The upstairs has good cafe/study vibes

It's nice and cozy inside, you enter downstairs and they have seats down there with more upstairs too. I got the Bulgogi Egg and Cheese on a plain bagel which was absolutely delicious and I plan on getting it again someday. Also there's a service charge for credit cards so it's a little cheaper if you just use cash! Highly recommended! read more

I love Cafe Walnut! It's in a great spot on Washington Square. You enter below sidewalk level and sit either in the small cafe area or upstairs in an open space. They have samples of my favorite...a waffley walnutty faux-Walnut goodness! Try to resist these! Their drinks are lovely, especially the red velvet latte. They have good chai lattes as well. Oh and try the smoothies! The staff is super nice and always welcoming. With an order to stay or to go, solo or with freinds, Cafe Walnut is one of my favorites. read more

Fantastic Korean inspired cafe joint. Cozy interior, friendly staff. Highly recommend BB salad with bulgogi.

Asian fusion flavors. We a BB salad with tofu which was good and a croissant ham and cheese sandwich. Great service, take allergies seriously. read more

Can't believe I haven't visited this cafe before! Cafe Walnut is a cute little Korean run coffee shop with delicious drinks and food. I got a iced Chai tea latte with almond milk and toffee nut syrup added into it. They have a wide variety of syrups to choose from! I tried their homemade kimchi and tuna salad sandwich with Swiss cheese and oh my god it was good. I'm a picky eater and tuna salad is easy to mess up, so I'm super impressed with how well it was made. Their homemade kimchi is well fermented and spicy enough to make your tongue tingle, but not overwhelming. They also offer vegan kimchi! So happy with my experience, just make sure you come in through the downstairs entrance! read more

Cafe Walnut - Tuna salad sandwich with Swiss cheese - Salad Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Such a quaint little coffee shop located walking distance from Independence Hall. Service was quick and efficient, and the barista was so patient with our questions. Coffee was great - I had an iced latte with butter pecan syrup. Side note: Not the best coffee shop for those looking for something Instagrammable. Barista said they had a sign out front before, but a recent storm took it out. read more

This was my favorite place I went during my whole trip to Philadelphia. Literally everything tastes good and their coffee is really yummy. They were so sweet too. It looks so beautiful inside, please go to this cafe!! read more

Cafe Walnut - tables and chairs in a restaurant - Salad Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Found a new favorite study spot while enjoying a variety of drinks! Large beautiful open area upstairs that overlooks the park on walnut street for a quiet studying time, best of all... it was NOT packed. If you're a fan of La Colombe (my personal favorite quality coffee shop), then you'll love their coffees! The owners are hilarious and love to create their own inspired blend of coffees, smooths, and teas. Must Try: -Red Velvet Latte (for coffee drinkers) basically a Mocha but on steroids and it's red. Similar to La Colombe's mocha, but more chocolate-y and infused with their homemade syrup. - MISUGARU LATTE! (for non coffee drinkers) Considered a super drink because of the natural healthy ingredients inside. It's basically a korean steamed milk latte that has a nutty, sweet, rice taste. It was so smooth and rich. Coming from an Asian background, I love this type of drink. I had their quinoa one (you don't taste it) and it's been my favorite! You'll also have surprise pulps of barley or brown rice from the drink- so be ready :) Disappointments: - the free walnut crunches are now being charged for - many flies upstairs near the window read more

Love this place so much I want ppl to stop coming here and crowding it. Great place to do work. Cafe at the bottom cafe at the top. The entrance is basement like and you have to take steps down from the street to the entrance. the food is delicious but the 1 star away goes to the coffee. If they made better coffee they would get a 5 but they don't. read more

Staff are friendly, they always say good morning and are helpful if you have any questions with the menu. The breakfast sandwiches (specifically the Bulgogi, Egg, and Cheese - probably one of the top in Philly) are really good. The sitting area upstairs is very pleasant. Would recommend Cafe Walnut to anyone. read more

The food, service and setting was perfect for a quick casual lunch at Washington Square. We had beef and pork bulgogi salads and mango smoothly. The fact that it is pet friendly was a huge plus. They even brought a bowl of water for him. read more

One of my favorite cafes in Center City! They have a bunch of cool secret menu items in their Instagram which have been fun to try. Lots of different flavors of syrups to customize drinks with. Also a great place to study: nice upstairs seating area and free wifi. Definitely will be back for future study sessions. read more

This is one of the many coffee shops near my office. The owners are so sweet and attentive and they brew a good, strong cup of coffee (La Colombe). My favorite thing about this place is the upstairs where there's plenty of seating. I always try to grab a high-top seat that overlooks Washington Square Park. Great little find in the area! read more

$10 for an orange lavender tea that they literally scooped orange marmalade into it and a grilled chicken sandwich on a croissant, so I wasn't expecting much. But then I found 2 thin black strands of hair in the lettuce and I was done. Walked out the exit from the upstairs area and will never return. read more

Really cool vibe. I got a coffee here about two weeks ago, used their WiFi and hung out upstairs while I cooled off from being outside in the park. It was super cool. They had interesting art work upstairs, ample seating, and they were kind. Unique menu- a mix of Asian treats and coffee shop favorites. When I'm back in old city, it's likely I'll stop in again. read more

Literally the cutest place ever !! Just walk down the stairs and you're in the coziest cafe ever. The owners are so sweet, the food is amazing, and the ambience is perfect. Awesome place to study in too ! Will be coming back again :) read more

Cheaper coffee than Starbucks and La Colombe. Great service, although my vanilla latte was slightly lacking in the vanilla department.

Small cafe in Philly with a variety of your usual espresso drinks (latte, cappucino, mocha etc and available iced or hot). They have almond milk as a non dairy option yay! Really nice and friendly owners who were very warm and welcoming! I got an iced hazelnut almond latte- it was on the sweet side at default, so if you want to add flavored syrup just remember to request the amount of syrup based on your preferences. Great coffee and really cozy feel. They have some simple Korean dishes like bibimbap and dumplings in the refrigerator section. There are also some pastries to go with your coffee. Convenient location and yummy coffee! read more

I wanted to love this place so badly because I wanted more variety for lunch outside of talula's daily in the area and the people are so incredibly nice! I was misled about what their version of bimibap would be like, so I ordered that for lunch as part of the special. It was literally just rice, lettuce and chicken with the pre-made vegetable dumplings. The egg was fried fully so there was no fun yolk to mix in. I was expecting a more authentic version of bimibap with a variety of veggies and flavor. Was it filling? Yes. Was it good? No, it was edible but it was very disappointing and I wouldn't order any other food based on this water downed version of bimibap. I would probably only come back for lattes or coffee since it is a very nice cafe with the nicest people! read more

A little difficult to find as you have to go down a set of stairs from Walnut Street (into the basement area), but they make a great Americano. Smaller mom and pop shop so support them over the big boys! read more

Great little cafe!! Food is great and so are the prices! I had an iced toffee nut latte and a breakfast sandwich, both of which tasted good and not too overbearing! The environment is cozy and the barista is super nice. Would definitely go again! It is a little hidden though. You need to go down the stairs where it says entrance and there wasn't a clear sign when I went, but thank god I found it. read more

I stopped in for the first time a few weeks ago because they were selling the Dalgona candy (from squid game) but I now go a few times a week for coffee! The coffee is really good and so are the muffins! It's definitely my new favorite coffee place! read more

The matcha here was so good that I went back and ordered a second one before I left! I would say it's some of the best matcha I've ever had. I also ordered a croissant sandwich, which was also amazing. Additionally, there's abundant seating and it has a great vibe. I also love the inclusion of Korean food into the traditional American cafe. The main problem here was the condition of the cafe itself. The service was good and quick, but they only had two people working at prime lunch rush (1pm on a Friday), with one person on food prep and the other on taking orders and making drinks. The poor staff member taking the drinks seemed so stressed and overwhelmed. My table was super sticky. It didn't seem like it was just that day that had made it sticky, it literally felt like whatever was making it sticky was caked onto the table. I had to go ask for a wipe to wipe it down, and was only provided with a wet paper towel that barely helped. There was water dripping from the ceiling (into a bucket) and the bathroom was out of order as well. The napkins were severely under stocked. Overall, the food and drinks were amazing and it has a great ambiance, but it seriously could benefit from better management and more employees. I would consider going again, but would prioritize takeout rather than staying. read more

Went in with my friend and ordered a latte and matcha drink. Friendly staff, quick service, and excellent drinks. Cafe was cute with seating upstairs and places to study read more

Excellent food quality. Quick and friendly folks. Perfect seating upstairs and never too crowded. Get the bulgogi salad!

Came in to get an iced ginger honey tea. I've had the hot version before but never the iced. The medium iced ginger honey tea was $4.25, but it's pretty true to size and refreshing. The ginger pieces are chopped small enough to fit through the straw, and thankfully I asked for less honey because it was just the right amount of sweet! Definitely prefer the hot over iced version though. read more
