    Fresh squeezed juice
    Mary Y.

    I have been dining here with my husband for the past three years and today will be our last. My egg portion shrank, the pancake was dry and the potatoes were beyond salty. Most importantly the coffee was stale!

    I'm a fan of First Watch. Late Saturday brunch and the service was fantastic (thanks Juan). Ordered the new menu item and it was perfect! Sourdough was actually sour and toasted perfectly. The scrambled eggs were creamy and the arugula was the bitter crunch under the snowfall of Parmesan. Order the Parmesan Prosciutto Toast. Tell them Jill sent you.

    Absolutely delicious, fresh, tasty food! Good (albeit slow) service and many amazing selections. I love this place! Nice patio.

    The Works omelette
    Steve S.

    All I can say is that everything I tasted came out perfect. I loved the omelet. I loved the toast. I loved the potatoes. I loved the coffee. My son loved the pancake. I had one of those meals where nothing missed the mark for me. In the end I go off of how I feel as I eat it. And I felt like I was completely satisfied. Maybe they didn't always get it right for other people. But on this day, for this meal, they hit me just right. But I'll add one thing. Here's my reminder that this is a chain in the end. When we asked for more of the all-natural "house" jam to take home with our leftovers, we were brought packets of all-natural Smuckers and told that's what they use. I mean, it was really good Smuckers. I gotta admit. But it's possible not everything is as flowery as it appears on the menu. I mean I guess you can't hand make every little thing. I still loved the food and will totally be back. Let's see if they can hit it out of the park each time for me in the future.

    Breakfast Tacos
    Constantine J.

    Nice place for brunch/breakfast!! I can see why this place is popular, they have lots of good options to choose from! Scrambles, savory, sweet, breakfast tacos and much more. Their menu is jam packed with plenty of choices for everyone. The Morning Meditation drink was one of the best drinks we've had. Unfortunately the avocado on the avocado toast and the breakfast tacos was not good. Probably too old. Service was good, just wish the food was better and more fresh. Hope to come back for a better food experience next time.

    Brunch? Maybe. It's a very rustic and charming resturant inside with a handful of tables for outdoor seating as well. Definitely modern rustic gram worthy. I'm a first timer here and I got to-go, so I'm not sure how their food is usually seasoned. Overall, the food was okay BUT the over salted potatoes carried into the first 2 dishes (over salted to the point, where it was all I tasted on my tongue). FYI: next time I'd ask for no salt and just season it on my own. The biscuits, gravy and eggs were standard. They packaged the biscuits and gravy separately, which was considerate. However, the potatoes were TOO salty, which made them uneatable. The roasted veggies in the hash were delicious, but again the potatoes were TOO salty and threw off the hash. The strawberries and lemon topping were yummy additions for the pancakes.

    A friends took me out yesterday for brunch for my birthday. It's a nice m, clean restaurant. We sat inside. I had coffee (I was so glad it wasn't super strong) and the avocado toast. She got the burrito that was listed as a special and her six year old had an omelet. Everything was very good.

    Yum yum

    The food was really good but filling so be warned when getting food there. The service was really good and they were very friendly and welcoming. Along with that the scenery was very nice but it feels a little compact, but besides that it was a trip well spent.

    It was my birthday and my husband and I wanted to have lunch with my daughter and grandchildren…read more Service was outstanding imho My husband and grandson enjoyed their cheeseburgers and fries. There were fresh strawberries and bananas ...French toast sampler over-the-top carb indulgence was yummy...fresh ....kinda home cooked vibe . Unassuming 'decor' baked goods looked delicious but I had eaten ALL of the French toast sampler! We left a nice tip..(my daughter calls it messy kids tax) but service never complained while my grandson smeared the windows watching cars go by...

    I was back in Philly for work and wanted to check out a breakfast/brunch spot that I used to love…read more Unfortunately, things were different this time. FOOD: The breakfast burrito was not good at all. They put huge chunks of raw onions and green peppers in it. I had to pick them all out. They should cut them small and at minimum sweat them down a little. Those are 2 products that should be used sparingly due to their powerful flavor. It was also supposed to have bacon in it, but there were only a few teeny tiny pieces in it. By "few" I mean like 4 bacon bits in the entire burrito. Based on the size and the taste, I think they actually used a jar of those little red salad dressing isle bacon bits. I have a good palate and struggled to even taste the bacon. I even pulled 1 of the 4 bacon bits out and ate it on its own & it tasted like nothing. Unknown if that was because it was so small or because it wasn't real bacon. SERVICE: They sat me at the bar, but I didn't get a server to come greet me for almost 10 minutes. But I do acknowledge it was very very busy so I wasn't too concerned. ** I probably just ordered the wrong menu item. I do not recommend the cowboy burrito. However 9 of the 10 times I've dined there it was a good experience. The place was packed on a Wednesday morning. So obviously people love this place. ____________________________________________________________________ GOOD: Those little Jewish Apple Cakes were the same as they always were. I still enjoyed that.

    Today was a happy accident. Originally the search was for a place that we had assumed was in…read moreNewtown Square, but was actually in Newtown; much too far to go to for an impromptu breakfast unless we were prepared for a small trip. However, this is the circumstances that led me to Rolling Stars. Not knowing what to expect whatsoever, except that I read that they served bagels, I was blown away by the offerings and the quality of everything they have, and will definitely be coming back to try some other menu items in the near future! Not only do they make almost everything from scratch, homemade here, with the bagels obviously being their signature item, everything is fresh, bold and wonderful. They even have a daily soup that is prepared by hand, that is available all day long, even for breakfast. If you've read any of my other reviews, you know that this is a game changer for me. Their coffee drinks are very good, and while not the best I have had, they are fun, tasty and they will make special additions simply if you've ask. In my case I ordered a simple cappuccino but they added little heart sprinkles for Valentine's Day since it is upcoming, even though the drink doesn't have them. The biggest problem I had was trying to decide what to actually choose from the menu because I was faced with way too many options that I wanted. I ultimately went with "the Bella", a portobello sandwich, which comes on your choice of bread, or any of their bagels, of which I chose the egg everything. Within a few bites I knew that this was easily within the top three bagel sandwiches I had ever had, and I am very critical of bagels and have had a TON of bagels and bagel sandwiches, coming from a kosher deli family. I also had the soup of the day which was a brilliant chicken noodle with awesome large macaroni elbows that just totally kicked it up. In our entire visit we only encountered one thing that was bothersome and it wasn't with my food but with our table's, and this was likely due to expectations. The jalapeño cheddar bagel is simply a plain bagel with a slice of cheddar and diced jalapeños on top. Now it was still outstandingly delicious, but I feel like we were under the impression it would be cooked into the dough and the entirety of the bagel. This wasn't the case and I can't knock them for it because it was still fantastic; aesthetics be damned! You should definitely visit here if you have not been here yet, and I can guarantee you will be coming back again and again. I cannot wait to go back, and I didn't even touch on the crazy awesome bagel chips that come with nearly everything!

    Always solid food at Rolling Stars!! Their bagels are delightful and their service when eating in…read moreis great! They do not skimp on bacon on their sandwiches and it's always well cooked. The bagels are always fresh and tasty.
