I wish I could rate K'Far more highly with the experience of dining in and trying more of their offerings. When I went on Friday afternoon, which I assumed wrongly might be an off-peak time, the place was packed to the gills. The only spot with any space was the take-out line. When I tried again the next morning, same thing, somehow even more packed. It's a super popular place for weekend brunches so if you want to snag a prized table, I recommend getting there early. Both times I went, the ladies behind the counter wasn't all that friendly (though I get it, they were juggling a ton of people coming in and out). I opted for the brown butter chocolate chip cookie; the blueberry babka; the swiss chard and spring pea bureka, and the sour cherry turnover. Of the four, my favorite was the babka - I ate it the day after and it still retained the perfect chew. The dollop of icing on top was well-balanced and creamy. The cookie was just okay (not very chewy, overwhelming butter flavor, which some people might enjoy) and the turnover's filling was way too sugary and artificial-tasting. I did not like my first bite of the bureka - it was way too bitter and vegetal, with no creaminess to offset it - but the taste grew on me the more I ate it and I loved the crispy phyllo dough. Some ricotta or feta would've made the pastry outstanding. I definitely want to try more things here - the breakfast sandwiches on Jerusalem bagels that I saw on nearly every table looked enticing. read more

Everything we tried here was so amazing, definitely a must when in Philly. The Jerusalem bagel egg and cheese sandwich and pistachio sticky bun were next level. Their bureka, best I've ever had. And the lattes, OMG! You have to try the Yemenite coffee. The cafe is wheelchair accessible and has a cute aesthetic. They also have a good outdoor seating and staff were very kind about our need to sit outdoors even though it was a chilly morning. We still got great, attentive service. read more

The pastries were out of this world! I loved the danish and the pistachio sticky buns. They were perfectly sweet and has such nutty flavors. I also loved the Smoked Salmon Jerusalem bagel. It was perfectly toasted and the flavor was a great combination of cream cheese, salmon, and pickled onions. The iced mocha was quite delicious as well. read more

Have been wanting to try this place. The line is always so long. Was less so around 830am or so on a cold day. They have dine in and take out options. I got the pistachio sticky bun which was absolutely phenomenal. read more

One of my favorite cafes in our area. I ordered an iced tea latte with an omelet for breakfast. The staff was friendly, and our food and tea arrived very quickly. Highly recommended, and especially worth trying their signature pastries. read more

K'Far is a great, casual spot to grab a bite to eat or enjoy a drink. The space is light, bright, and welcoming. I sat at the counter and ordered the salmon Jerusalem bagel, which was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. I will definitely be back and look forward to trying more items on the menu. read more

I had high expectations going in. I went in at 3pm, and it was shockingly packed. It was a 30 minute wait for 2. The vibes were very fancy and there were a lot of people sitting inside on the cold winter day. So they have a limited food menu. The main food is salads + bagels and toasts, as well as pastries. I wanted to get the food so I got the Arabic Salad. It was 13+5 for the chicken. Unfortunately, the food was not that good. I felt like the salad was not that much different than something you could get from the Target across the street. The chicken was pretty disappointing because it was tiny bits for $5 extra, and they were relatively flavorless. The dressing was also relatively flavorless, and the feta was not very salty. The chickpeas were OK. The whole thing wasn't bad, but it was just meh and bland, and none of the ingredients really had zip or flavor. Service was a little bit disappointing, because they rarely check on you. I actually prefer self poured water but I think they only asked us once how everything was, and so it took a bit to get us our check... It's possible that the pastries here are better but I was overall underwhelmed and confused at how busy this place was! read more

The bagels and heirloom tomato toast were DELICIOUS!! The bagel bread was so crispy and light. We went on 11am on a Saturday and it was quite busy. The server told us no tables inside were available but when we went inside for takeout there were empty seats at the counter read more

The Chef and Owner behind Philadelphia favorites like Zahav and Laser Wolf, is also behind K'Far cafe; need I say more ? More known for their vibes and amazing baked goods, this eatery is taking the term cafe to the next level. But be warned, this is not the type of place you work from, or even have lunch meetings at, as it's small, and the tables are very close together. Now to the food, my table ordered: Cortado 3.5/5 rating Housemade Chai Latte 5/5 rating Pistachio Sticky Bun 5/5 rating Egg & Cheese Jerusalem Bagel 5/5 rating Quinoa & Kale salad 4/5 rating The coffee's were a great place to start, with the cortado leaving my partner feeling like he needed more caffeine. The chai latte on the other hand was superb! Balanced spices and not too sweet! The Egg & Cheese Jerusalem Bagel was the best thing we had, with the sticky bun as a very close second. The egg and cheese featured this spice like rub (think pesto) called Schug, which was chefs kiss. The sticky bun has a nice crisp on the outside and remained ooey gooey inside. The pistachios also added a nice textural component. Lastly the salad; portions are huge! Definitely shareable. Was looking for a bit more crunch throughout the salad, as the candied walnuts didn't offer enough of that. Smack dab in rittenhouse, but found metered parking on 15th street, with ease.

Super cute spot! Very nicely decorated, spacious seating, ambient lighting. Iced chai was good, not too sweet. Feta scallion boreka was fantastic. Only critique is there was some confusion about our food order. We payed and then stood around waiting for a solid five minutes for our food to come out. Eventually had to ask someone and they quickly grabbed our pastries. read more

Kfat is a Philadelphia signature cafe featuring Israeli cuisine . Every item I have had from here has been 100/10. Chef Mike Solomonov has done it again! The borekas are my absolute favorite- a stuffed pastry filled with a savory filling such as potatoes, feta cheese etc. I always get the 3 for $10 deal because I can never decide which flavor I want. The pastries rotate for the most part except for some signature items such as the brown butter chocolate chip cookie or the chocolate rugelach. The pistachio sticky him is my all time FAVORITE item from Kfar. It is warm, gooey and nutty and melts in your mouth with each bite. Tbh I haven't had any bad pastries so you can't go wrong with any of them but this particular one is my absolute favorite. The Jerusalem bagels are unique and delicious as well! Get the labneh trio if you want to try something different, although the egg and cheese is my go to item from this section. The salads and bowls are delicious as well for a more hearty option. My favorite drink to get is the Yemenite latte (available either hot or iced) - a rich aromatic blend of tea, coffee, spices & deliciousness. I always get this drink so haven't tried any other drinks here except the mimosa . Service is always quick & efficient despite the long lines on weekends. Ambiance is usually casual but welcoming. Overall kfar is a MUST GO TO in Philly!! read more

K'Far is extremely hyped up, but it's absolutely worth the hype! This adorable bakery and brunch spot has incredible pastries, Jerusalem bagels, and coffee. Everything is pricey, but worth the splurge. If nothing else, you HAVE to get their hot orange blossom latte - this was the best coffee I've ever had. K'Far is always very very busy, even moreso on weekends, so be prepared to wait for your order and have to yell a little bit to talk over the bustling atmosphere. If you're doing takeout and know what you want, I highly suggest using their order ahead online option so you can be in and out quickly. read more

The cakes were heavenly! I adored the sticky buns (danish and pistachio). They were perfectly sweet and has such nutty flavors. I also adored Smoked Salmon Jerusalem bagel. It was well toasted and it tasted great with a mixture of cream cheese, salmon and pickled onions. The iced mocha was quite delicious as well. read more

Gorgeous atmosphere and decor. The food was amazing! We tried a little bit of everything. We got the pistachio sticky bun and the chocolate rugalach to start which were amazing paired with their coffee. The Yemenite Latte was perfectly spiced and delicious. The Jerusalem bagels were definitely the star. The egg and cheese was spicy and sooooo good. The salmon was also amazing. Already ready to go back and try it again soon because there were too many great things to try on the menu. read more

Coffee was not my favorite but pastries were great! Had pecan cake, chocolate rugelach, and feta scallion pastry.

CUTEST CAFE in the area. The interior design is top notch and the drinks / bagels were even better. I got an iced chai latte with an egg and cheese Jerusalem bagel (freaking amazing)! I was visiting the area but I would definitely come back every day if I was a local. The employees were friendly and our food/drinks came out after ~10 minutes because they were busy. Highly recommend and next time I want to try the pastries here :) read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in the city is K'Far! There outdoor patio is perfect for the sunny days of summer ahead of us! It is the perfect spot to grab a drink with a friend and catch up on life. I've also brought my laptop here before to do work and it's a great spot to do that as well. The servers are all very helpful and accommodating. Their pastries, Jerusalem bagels and salads are so fresh and made in house daily. Their feta scallion borek is so tasty and definitely my favorite of the three. Their scallion cream cheese is unmatched. Below I listed everything we ordered: - Black Unsweetened Iced Tea - Chocolate Babka - Swiss Chard & Pea Borek - Jerusalem bagel w/ scallion cream cheese - Arabic Salad - Quinoa & Kale Salad read more

Really cute and very busy cafe. I sat at the counter and ordered the rose sumac lemonade which is a must and the Jerusalem bagel with za'attar. It was very tasty only complaint was the butter was too much and there wasn't enough Zattar. I'm looking forward to trying other things on the menu and will def come back on less crowded days. The servers were really friendly as well read more

My boyfriend and I popped in for lunch the other day at K'Far and had such a nice experience! We ordered the salad with salmon, a grilled cheese, a pistachio cookie, and the egg and cheese sandwich. The salad with salmon was hands down the best thing we ordered, and I highly recommend trying it. The egg sandwich was good and had a nice spicy pesto that I enjoyed. I would pass on the grilled cheese and cookie next time. They were good, but nothing crazy. We will definitely be back! And, hopefully, get our hands on a sticky bun since they were sold out when we were there! read more

One of the best iced coffees I've ever had! Flavorful but light and not a hint of bitterness, my favorite. There are a lot of amazing coffee shops in a two block radius but it will be hard to pass up K'Far moving forward. My laptop and I settled into a seat at ~2pm on a Wednesday. I've bopped into K'Far hoping to catch a seat on two separate occasions prior to this to no avail, so I was pumped to be able to sit, work, grab some lunch, and see what all the hype was about. I will say, this is NOT a work-from-home-away-from-home friendly spot, which I knew going in. Of course they want to turn over tables, do more volume, and get folks in seats. I was only planning to stay for a speedy 40 minute call then scoot, but I think the staff was a bit put off by my laptop's presence. That being said, service was fab and everyone here is incredibly friendly. I grabbed an egg and cheese jerusalem bagel and it was divine. I don't know why on earth I didn't think to grab a pastry but I guess it's a good excuse to get back there as soon as physically possible. Overall one of the top spots in Rittenhouse for a speedy lunch or coffee, hence the constant line and hype. Pay close attention to the gorgeous decor, special Solomonov touches, and really peruse the entire menu. I don't think you'll go wrong with anything. read more

Was highly recommended this place because it was opened by the chef and owner behind Zahav (still have yet to try this place)! A lovely breakfast / brunch place with a really nice aesthetic vibe. Perfect for a date or catch-up (but not to work because it is very popular and a small cafe!) We got there before 12pm but a lot of pastries were already sold out!! We ended up trying their walnut cinammon bun babka and marinated labneh Jerusalem bagels. Loved the Jerusalem bagel with the 3 flavors of Za'atar, Sumac, and Honey Pistachio. I wish they weren't sold out of their pistachio sticky bun but I guess I'll just have to come back again! read more

Jerusalem bagel is a must-get! It was perfectly toasted with a nice chew. The lox isn't going to be the best you've ever had, but the actual bagel really hit the spot. Per other people's recommendations, I tried the pistachio sticky bun. It's not as fluffy as you would hope, and it is on the sweeter side. I don't think I would get it again, but it's not bad. I would probably share this between 2-3 people because of how sweet it is. Super cute decor inside with lovely tiling. Everything is aesthetically pleasing! read more

This place is really good! The servers are excellent, and the food was superb. The table settings and atmosphere are really well thought out, and it always feels clean, tidy, and cozy in here. Notable standouts are the Pistachio Sticky Bun - great for people with a sweet tooth. I also think the Egg & Cheese with Cooper Sharp is incredible - I have a friend that is picky about eggs and he loved the E&C bagel. Great for brunch or a coffee chat. I always try to bring friends here when they come to visit Philly. read more

Based on Michelle's response I went back just to try the feta scallion borekasim and she was right. It was delicious. I also got the brown butter cookie also very good. It was insanely crowded when I went with little space for waiting for takeout order. I didn't enjoy the mocha so I'll stick to a regular latte next time. read more

We had a lovely brunch at K'far. The bourekas were a nice start, but the crunchy Jerusalem bagels were the stand outs. Our favorite was the grilled cheese bagel, but the smoked salmon was good, too. Nice with thr caesar salad on the side. read more

Amazing breakfast option that was located near our hotel. We came here 2X in a row. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Their smoked salmon and Egg and Cheese Jerusalem bagels were delicious.

This place is beautiful inside. I love how they have table side service even just for coffee. Having coffee here was such a nice way to spend the morning. The drinks themselves were good - we tried the chai, which was a little bitter, as well as the vanilla cardamom latte. A little cream balanced the chai latte out nicely. Overall, I'd definitely come back to try the food - it smelled amazing! The staff were great. I saw that they also have cocktails making it such a cute spot for a boozy brunch. read more

It's a nice spot with a welcoming ambiance. I will say, when it gets crowded, it feels a little tight inside, as it's not a very expansive place. The food was pretty tasty, but I was a little disappointed with the serving sizes. I was also shocked at the $5 price tag on the cookie I ordered, but it was good. The service was great! read more

Third (fourth?) time making a specific trip to K'Far, and third (fourth?) time being SO impressed. We ordered takeout and it was on time, hot, and completely seamless. Grilled cheese Jerusalem bagel was new for us and stellar. Egg bagels always slap, and the scallion cream cheese is also excellent. 500/10 would recommend. read more

Meh, we were sadly underwhelmed. Was looking forward to a Jerusalem bagel w salmon and not only was it minimally filled, the salmon itself was almost cooked and had an opaque look as if it was no longer simply smoked. For 13 dollars this wasn't what I expected after seeing a recent photo of one that was amply filled. The grilled cheese bagel also had what I would call scant cheese and a ton of the olive filling that overwhelmed the balance. They were unable to make the Yemen ice tea but I subbed for a different one and it was very good. We did bring home 2 parties that our daughter loved. Glad that we got to visit while in town. read more

It was a great place! The food was good, and so was the service. I am happy. I got an egg and cheese bagel, and it came pretty quickly. I had a nice time, and the restaurant was well decorated for valentines day. read more

I honestly can't wait to come back here. Everything was on point for me. The food hit, the service hit, and the ambiance hit too. I originally came for a salmon sandwich thing but they ran out of ingredients by the end of the day so I ended up getting the grilled cheese and an avocado toast. I was a big fan of the grilled cheese and the bread it was on was amazing and toasted just right. The avocado toast was decent too but I just didn't like the dill that was on it. The service and the staff were also phenomenal. They were so nice and one server even gave us a free pastry to try. It was so good!! Ask them about it and give it a try. It was called caramel apple babka. It seems Ike it might be seasonal though. The vibes inside were also so cute. The interior was designed thoughtfully and it was beautiful. Front of the cafe is like bar seating where anyone can sit but in the back area you can be seated at your own table. Honestly a great find! read more

Must say this is a really unique spot for breakfast you don't get your usual bacon and eggs. They have some really unique items for breakfast. The grilled cheese sandwich was different than any other grilled cheese that we've had. The bread was delicious. It was on Israeli bagel we also had one of the bowls with salmon, which was definitely something I've never had before and definitely good, we had three different kinds of coffee coffee, which was excellent and has some spices in it. Also a sour cherry dessert The waitress Zoe was nice and informative and professional. The hostess couldn't have been nicer. they have a carryout service if I'm in the area again I will definitely be having this unique breakfast no reservations so you may have to wait read more

Love this spot for their Jerusalem bagels! After living in Jerusalem for 5 months, I moved back and realized that there wasn't a place that made similar bagels, until I discovered K'Far! Given that it's a Chef Michael Solomonov establishment (like Dizengoff and Zahav), I had high expectations and I can say that K'Far's pastries definitely met them. I recommend their egg & cheese and scallion cream cheese Jerusalem bagels. Tip: Sometimes there's a line/limited seating, so I recommend ordering your pastries to go and walking 5 min to Rittenhouse park to enjoy them there! read more

*HIGHLY RECOMMEND* This is one of my favorite breakfast/brunch spot in the city. Usually gets really busy during weekends and peak hours so I highly recommend going during weekday off peak hours. There's both indoor and outdoor dining area and the aesthetics of the interior is just so pretty. So many unique drinks to choose from as well as food that's really well portioned for the price. I always leave happy and full. *HOT PICKS* Tunisian Tuna salad - my favorite salad of all time. Seared tuna with Harrisa dressing gives it a good balance of savory and spice Boreka - fluffy and flaky Jerusalem Bagel - can't go wrong with this. My favorite is the smoke salmon Pistachio sticky bun - their most popular pastry. These sell out fast for a reason! *VERDICT* Would def go back again! read more
