    Owner/manager is literally so sweet, always chatting with customers, checking in, and giving recommendations! Their hibiscus lemonade I wouldn't write home about it but good enough. Our sandwiches were the same. We also got the French toast but we were full from the sandwiches! French toast was a little thick for me but I know for some people that would be perfect! There were lots of regulars, so clearly the place is popular! Go and try them out.

    Super busy spot but did the best to give the best and fastest service. Love coming here for breakfast! Yellow interior wakes me up and keeps me smiling while I'm there!

    Interior-- good seating available for small and large groups.

    Had an impromptu morning breakfast with friends here early on a Monday morning. As expected, crowds were little to none, and was mostly the group of cops enjoying their morning shift breakfast. This is my second time here in the past few years. Table services was great. Ordering was fast once all of us arrived, and we got our food shortly afterwards. Food is pretty delicious, and there's a good variety on the menu. I was so ready to start eating that I forgot to snap a picture, but our table ordered a Mexi Hash, Iron Hash, and the Eggsplosion Burger. Overall, food is delicious. I think the portion size to price ratio is a bit wanting, especially if you're just looking for a simple breakfast, but it does seem more reasonably priced for brunch if that's what your coming here for. Ambience is great-- a bit small, but I love the brightly colored walls. Definitely helps with waking up. Heads up that parking is a bit tight, but if you're coming anywhere into Old City you should just expect that at this point, and it's of no fault to the business.

    The brekkie bahn mi blew me away. This was a delicious combination of your classic bahn mi with a breakfast sandwich. They have a cash discount here, though small.

    The service was amazing, such kind and friendly staff even though they were so busy. I also loved the ambiance - very warm, welcoming, comfortable, and upbeat. The food was great with big portions and good flavor! The prices are also AMAZING!!! Definitely will be a go to for us

    They were busy when we went. Put our name on the list and then they texted when the table was ready. The food was delicious. Loved the potatoes and my sandwich, although the aioli on my sandwich was spicier than I expected. The staff were nice but they seemed very frazzled. It almost seemed as if they needed to have 1 more person on staff during their brunch rush... We actually got our food before our drinks, were not offered water when we sat down (and the couple next to us seemed to feel the same) It's a cute space, although there's not really space to wait inside out of the cold for your table.

    Mexi hash skillet was to die for. And the Nutella latte was phenomenal I'm from NY and don't think there are brunches that match the quality and value this place has It is a bit of a wait though; especially for groups of 3 or more (prob 45 min on a weekend, put your name down), but well worth the wait

    My gf brought me here while we were hanging out to celebrate my bday. This place does not take reservations so we walked in, signed in, and were seated within about 15 mins of arriving - this was on a Saturday, summer morning, before 11am. While we waited, we viewed the menu so that we could eat as soon as we were seated. I ordered a Clucker Benny and my friend ordered a small stack of pancakes with a side of cheese and eggs and potatoes. Everything was delightful and was a healthy serving size for both my friend and I. The place is small; service was fairly quick; the prices seemed reasonable although I didn't see the bill. If it's not too crowded, it's definitely worth a short wait... Side note: I don't recall seeing any turkey products on the menu but they do serve chicken (FYI to those who don't eat pork.)

    We walked into Eggcellent cafe without a reservation on a Sunday morning and it was packed! We had to sign in using a kiosk to be added to the waiting list. It is much smaller inside than anticipated. After about a 12 minute wait we were seated at two seats at the window looking out to passers by. I ordered a cup of coffee ( 2/10) and De Olde Taco-(Shaved Rib Eye, Onion, Chihuahua Cheese, Scrambled Eggs, Spicy Chipotle Ketchup, Pico de Gallo, Cilantro, Scallion on Flour Taco shell, served with Breakfast Potatoes) 9/10.

    Good: Super Yum! Portions were GREAT! The Thai Iced Coffee & Mango Smoothie also very good, just very small size. Service: Service was decent, not overly friendly. Ambiance: Cute aesthetic, plenty of seating!

    We were looking for a breakfast spot within walking distance of our hotel in old town. We stumbled upon Eggcellent and it was perfect. Cute spot, great staff and eggcellent food! I had the eggs Benedict with a scrambled egg. It was so yummy and the hollandaise was amazing. If you're in Philly, check out this gem.

    We were excited to try this restaurant after reading the great reviews. The restaurant wasn't crowded which was nice. We ordered coffee and my husband requested half regular and half decaf and we were told they had no way of making half caf coffee which seemed strange. Three of us ordered eggs and one person ordered a pancake. Our food came and we were almost finished eating before the pancake arrived after asking about it twice. In general, the food was good but based on the service, I don't think we would visit again. We saw surrounding tables having similar issues with wrong items served, long delays in getting coffee, etc.

    Excellent breakfast spot in philly. Had the angry pig omelet and a coffee. Both excellent. Be careful though. The angry pig is spicy!

    Do not waste your time, too many other great places to go for breakfast in Old City. Extremely slow service for mediocre food.

    Their hotel room's glass shower door shattered with me naked inside leaving me with cuts on my body…read moreso deep that I needed immediate emergency attention and stitches. I was admitted to the nearest emergency room because I took a shower at this hotel and used the shower and its door normally. I was cut along my left wrist and forearm and on my right foot. Two of my toes and my wrist and arm are still recovering from this injury nearly a full month after this incident. At least one medical professional told me that I could have been at risk of bleeding out (dying) if the situation was slightly worse. And who knows if this hotel uses the same model shower door for more than just one of their rooms? The hotel's management did not call me to ensure my safety, apologize for the horror that they have put me through, or do their utmost to ensure that I am compensated for the horror that I was forced to experience at their establishment and it's been nearly a full calendar month since the incident with no successful proactive contact from them. Other than this horrifying experience which can likely happen to any of their other guests who decide to shower in their establishments the experience was beautiful. Very nice hotel room. Very dangerous shower. So if you are okay with risking your life and health every time you use their shower or don't plan on showering at their establishment at all, this is a great hotel for you to stay at.

    Stopped in for brunch while in the area. The food was delicious. The service staff was very…read morefriendly and patient. The only downside was the limited menu for someone in my group that has a gluten allergy. The menu was small and most of the items had bread/flour or included an ingredient that was cross contaminated.
