These are very nice people who work here. Very personable and friendly. I can see if you lived nearby, you would want to be a regular. While we were waiting for food, I explored the store attached. Very cute flower shop and gift boutique. I'm not sure if they share the same owners? If so they should put a sign above the restaurant side door to advertise the shop. Maybe they can get some shoppers after breakfast/lunch? Back to the food, I had the goat cheese and sun-dried tomato quiche ($16) and it was a little too strongly flavored for me. Normally I love these two ingredients on pizza or in pasta, but this was a lot. For me, needed more egg. It didn't stop me from eating it though! We shared a Brioche French toast ($16) for the table, like an appetizer. It had a peach butter that was interesting. I think next time I want to try a Scrambled egg sandwich ($15) and add sausage patties. ($5) I saw a guy get that and it looked amazing. Now he knows how to order! read more

Honestly the best scrambled eggs I've ever had. That's what I'm starting the review with because it's important. The Rest of the food was tasty too. My only mild disappoint was the cornbread, as it was a little dry. Admittedly I only picked this restaurant because of the cool greenhouse concept so I had no expectations. They do not take reservations, which is a bummer, but the town is cute to walk around so we didn't mind the 45 minute wait. It is busy for Sunday brunch and it can get a little loud. Overall the vibe is unique, the food is tasty, and the people are nice. I don't know if this is a regular place for me, but I will be thinking of the eggs for a while. Also, like most places in Philly they charge a credit card fee. read more

Maaaaan! We had a time here. From the moment we entered we were greeted. We waited about 30-40 minutes, but it was worth it. Our server, Mandy was great! She was attentive. Gave my wife a fresh cup of coffee with our asking. Anyone who knows my wife, knows she likes her coffee. I wish she would talk and eat. Hahahahaaa! People every where. And are friendly... well at least most are of them. Place is inviting which matches the energy of the staff. Come here! You will not be disappointed. read more

I'm addicted to a salad they serve-chicken, cashews, thinly sliced apples, parmesan with a balsamic dressing. And on some days I indulge in one of their spectacular desserts. Brunch is always packed and while I seldom will wait in line for a table anywhere, I wait for this one when necessary (and they call you when a tables ready so you can walk around and enjoy the shops in the area) Great atmosphere and service - love this place! read more

Wow!! Lots to say about cake. 1) The space is incredible. It's so beautifully placed, and they really nail the greenhouse feel. 2) The staff was efficient and served us excellently! We even were impressed by how quickly they were turning out customers. 3) The food is soooo good. They do have a really limited selection, but what they had rocked. My entire group ranked our food a 10/10! Also, it can be BYOB, so keep that in mind. read more

I love this place! I used to come here often about 10 years ago, and life got a bit busy so I wasn't able to come to Chestnut Hill much. I always loved the huge green house dining area, the service is always friendly and food always good. Their coffee is smooth, balanced and nice. I asked which blend they use and they told me, but I forgot the name but it is from a local roasters. This time we ordered breakfast burrito, garden frittata, and citrus tart. Was very very happy with everything. read more

If you're in town, you definitely have to stop by here! Located in a greenhouse exterior structure, this cafe offers good food, pastries and drinks! We stopped by for brunch on Sunday and luckily were able to snag a table. I got their salmon BLT, so good! Left full, otherwise would've definitely gotten a pastry to go. read more

This review is based on several brunch or lunch visits over the past two years & all of them have been great. Good idea to get there early on the weekend to snag a spot. Also, you have an option of getting their pastries to go! Service is top-notch with food usually coming out pretty quickly. Building looks like a fancy greenhouse; in the back you can see an attached florist shop. Love their quiche or frittatas of the day. Their side salads that come with some meals are good! Consistently good and delicious food. I usually bring out-of-town friends here for a casual breakfast (esp. if they have a sweet tooth as the pastries are all delish!). Highly recommend; bring a friend (or three). read more

Cake is a lovely restaurant with a unique atmosphere. It's one of our favorite brunch spots to bring family and friends when they're visiting from out of town. We always make sure to leave with tarts as well--not only are they enticing when you see the baking display, but they're absolutely delicious. read more

My friends and I had the best time at Cake this weekend! The setting in the greenhouse is just perfect, and our server was super friendly. She saw us eyeing the food at other tables and made sure we knew what the items were. All four of us loved our food. I got the open faced turkey tartine and it was delicious! I would definitely recommend this place! We got there around 11:30 on Saturday and only had to wait about 15 minutes. They don't take reservations but will take your phone number when you put your name in and call when your table is ready. read more

A great but small dining space (i.e., what appears to be a repurposed greenhouse with high ceilings). The menu is on the simpler side, but the food is good, and the portions are fair to large. The staff are attentive, and the prices are reasonable for the neighborhood. The breakfast burrito was tasty, and the contrast in temperatures (between the burrito and the items that framed it) and textures (the burrito was softer with the eggs and beans, and the house salad was crisp and cool) was notable. While I didn't order anything from the baked goods display case, the offerings looked delicious. They don't take reservations, so be prepared to wait or plan show up prior to opening. If you do need to be placed on the wait list, there are plenty of things to do in the neighborhood, assuming they're open (I.e., on Sundays, Cake opens at 1000, but most stores open at 1100 or noon). We're looking forward to bringing visitors to Cake in the future. read more

Beautiful brunch spot in a greenhouse in Chestnut Hill but get there at least a half hour before opening or be prepared or wait; I got there at 10 and waited an hour for a table. The food is flavorful and the service is excellent. A take home pastry is always a good idea as well. read more

Cute spot with decently fast and friendly service. Love the ambient lighting and the greenhouse setting! My husband and I stopped in for Saturday lunch and were able to get a table within 20 minutes, which we spent perusing the bookstore around the corner. Once we sat down, we ordered a tuna sandwich with chips and a beet and citrus arugula salad with a side of grilled chicken. For the quality of the ingredients, portion size, and location, the price was reasonable. But the food itself was just fine. The tuna salad was a bit fishy, and otherwise pretty standard. The beet and citrus "salad" was more of a tower, and it tasted good but I wish they'd given more arugula. The grilled chicken had good flavor but was pretty dry. Still, overall, we enjoyed the meal and ended up finishing with a chocolate peanut butter tart, which was heavy, sweet, and satisfying. read more

Arrived for a Saturday lunch, we had just missed the breakfast menu which is what we were craving but the food was still very tasty. The place is adorable, very cute vibes with the restaurant being in a renovated greenhouse with lots of plants everywhere and great lighting. But the place was well conditioned, very comfortable temperature. The food was good. I went with a smoked salmon BLT, which was unique and tasted surprisingly good. I would rather try some other items on the menu. The quiche was the star of the show though. I have had quiches before that are overcooked and gross. This one was cooked to perfection . The egg was light and fluffy and the brie added extra richness and creaminess. The crust was not soggy but firm to bite. read more

We had Saturday breakfast. Group of 5 with coffees and water for all. They forgot to bring one of the waters and we had to remind. The food was okay, but nothing super special. Frittata looks good and generally was decent, but very underseasoned. Breakfast Burrito looks great, but was again, kind of plain and undersized for what one might normally expect. It was a lot of wrap, not enough filling. The side salad was good, though. French Toast was average at best, which turned out to be the biggest surprise - bread choice really seemed to be the problem actually. Coffee was brewed with a water to coffee ratio that had too much coffee, which makes the final blend product come across a bit heavy and out of balance. Also, the itemized check included a markup of 3% on each item because we used a credit card. This is not mentioned on the menu. The notice does come at the bottom of the itemized, but only after you receive it, and unless you do the math, then you might not realize you do not get a discount by using cash, but a penalty if you use a CC. The issue I see is that the prices of the individual items were changed on the final check when it came back, rather than just adding a 3% surcharge as a line item on the check. This does not seem to be legal as they are deviating from the advertised menu prices with altered prices after the fact. Maybe they just assume no one looks at their check? Philadelphia seems to be awash with restaurants manipulating their prices and fees. We all get that costs are up, but you need to disclaim what you are doing on the menu so the consumer understands what they are going to see at the end. You could also just raise your prices by $.50 and forget the stupid manipulation of the check game. That way we wouldn't feel like every place in the city is running a scam. read more

Tip: This place does not take reservation, only walk-in waitlist. We waited about an hour to get a table of four people for our Sunday brunch. So be aware of a long waiting time or get there early. The dining area is much smaller than we expected. People were really nice. Food portion is definitely worth the price! Their Ribeye steak & egg was our fav dish among the four dishes we ordered (breakfast plate, breakfast burrito, French toast). Another thing I really liked from here was their scramble eggs w/ cheese! Burrito was huge but the overall flavor of it was okay. French toast was soft but the portions of cream & berries were very small (mostly just bread & maple syrup). The downside about here were limited options of sweet brunch dishes (only French toast & Belgium waffle) and they only have plain/black coffee option. read more

Cake was soooo good. This is the cutest little breakfast and lunch restaurant. I came for breakfast around 9:40 a.m on a Saturday and was sat right away. Coffee was great and I tried the key lime pie and chocolate pecan pie and they were both to die for. The quiche du jour is also the way to go!!! Reasonable prices. Amazing food and attentive service.

Had a great time checking out this spot in Chestnut Hill. Heard a lot of great things so got a reservation for brunch. Like most of the places in this part of Philly, the architecture is very pleasing. I believe this place was a greenhouse before being redesigned into a restaurant. The Breakfast Burrito I had was very filling and tasty. I was also surprised they had siracha on hand as there's a major shortage right now. Added that extra kick to the home fries that I love. Service was good but I give hats off to this unique environment Cake has created in the neighborhood. Perfect brunch spot, BYOB, classic menu. I'll be back for dessert. read more

What can I say I'm on a food tour ! This place was amazing I love the inside decor and how this restaurant is a converted greenhouse! I had the quiche de joir it was amazing! It was light and filling with great texture and taste. The crust was perfection and this dish was paired with a mixed green salad. My mom and daughter had the cheesesteak with kettle chips; of course i tasted it and it was good !!! The staff was so super friendly and accommodating! Definitely a gem of a find! read more

Extremely cute brunch place within a former greenhouse. There was a wait, which wasn't surprising, but they'll take your phone number and give you a call so you can walk around town a bit. Service was good as well as the food but I was surprised that every single item on the bill was slightly more than the price on the menu? Another review said it was a credit card surcharge, but nobody asked if I was paying cash or card before I got my bill. I would have been fine with those prices, but charging more after the fact feels a bit scammy. read more

Have your cake and eat it too! What a beautiful spot in Chestnut Hill! We stumbled upon this spot when we were out gallery viewing. It appears to have been a greenhouse at one point and now an adaptive use restaurant. We had a short wait on a weekend at lunch time. The server was very friendly and attentive to us. We were also amused by the gentleman at the table next to us who raved and raved about their hangar steak. Apparently, he often finds he's too late and it's sold out on the menu. My husband got their quiche special which was deep and full of goodies. I ordered the crab cake and really enjoyed it. We also split a key lime pie - YUM. I think their baking is probably their signature skillset. I would definitely go back here and highly recommend it. I think they probably take reservations and that would be a good idea. Great spot. Great service. Great ambiance. read more

Boooo!! Turned away over an hour before the listed closing time, cut off from the waitlist. They should adjust their listed hours or be more reasonable with potential diners. read more

We went for a little walk and shop at chestnut hill outside of Philadelphia. We've heard of Cake so decided to stop by. It is a little small without any outdoor seating (at least when we went) so if you're worried about dining in, I'd recommend getting takeout. The wait is also to be expected. Kinda wish they had outdoor but the decor in the interior was beautiful and so tropical/green house vibes . It was a chilly day so I got the grilled cheese and tomato soup- it was 10/10. They had pesto in their grilled cheese which was an amaaaazzingg touch. Make sure to grab some of the cupcakes before you leave! They were the perfect amount of fluffy and sweet. read more

My fiancée asked me if I wanted to eat at Cake. I originally told her I didn't want to have dessert for brunch, so boy was I glad when this place also happened to serve really good food! This is definitely one of the coolest spots I've eaten at. The greenhouse-esque ambience brings in so much light and makes it feel like you're having an outdoor experience. Our waiter was very pleasant and was able to tell us about a variety of specials being offered. My turkey BLT was good-- nothing incredibly outstanding but just an overall solid sandwich. However, the quiche was really delicious. It was creamy and flavorful (asparagus, brie, and caramelized onions) with a crumbly, soft crust. Plan to come back to try more food and to have their dessert. read more

The food was very tasty and fresh. No condiments needed. The staff was friendly. Someone spoke to us as we entered and said hello. The server came over quickly to greet us at our table.

Everything is made fresh to order. It was worth the wait. We cleaned our plates. I had coffee with my breakfast. My friend had tea. They have a wide variety of teas. Best part was that it was not expensive. The menu is simple yet refined. Definitely a must try. I will be returning to try more of the menu. read more
