Tuscany Cafe is a tinyyyyyy little spot tucked into a large apartment complex on Locust. The space can fit about 6 people inside so the line typically goes a bit out the door. They have a small high top bar you can sit at, but it's so cramped in there, I wouldn't recommend it. They have a standard drink menu with a few rotational seasonal special drinks. Their food menu includes a handful of sandwich's and melts, but their are fairly costly, even given the location. While expensive, the Tuscany morning sandwich with pesto and mozzarella was incredible! The staff is friendly and everything came out great, but I'd likely hit a different spot if I saw a line running around the corner. read more

Cute little coffee shop, really meant to be a to go spot , but there are a few seats. Small operation, so be patient, but the coffee and breakfast sandwich are really good. I got a baklava latte and a breakfast croissant with egg and cheese. The coffee was nutty, smooth, with just a hint of sweetness. The croissant was fresh and flaky and the eggs were fluffy. read more

Really cute area! I've walked by so many times and had a moment to grab breakfast there! The store itself is super small so definitely a grab and go vibe. The coffee was super good! The food portions are pretty small but the ingredients were fresh. I post ~$40 for 2 drinks and sandwiches- which I will say are a bit pricey for the size but it was good! read more

A solid cafe, tiny but good coffee This is a quick review, because this is a quick spot. There's enough room for 4-6 people at most. The menu is standard for a coffee place, and the service is speedy. The coffee was good, was balanced, not too sweet and not too bitter. It's a good spot to drop by and pick up a cup of coffee. It's good if your around the area read more

Unfortunately not a good experience for me. Would like to preface my review by saying that the server and barista were nice. Their lattes on the other hand were really bad. Very watered down. They put very little milk, it was like drinking iced black coffee. Got the rose vanilla and pistachio baklava lattes and could barely taste the flavors. Didn't finish mine. Plain butter croissant and avocado toast were good. read more

We stopped in for brunch after a weekend run workout. I was initially shocked at how small it was as I thought it was more of a sit down place. While they do have limited (like 4 or 5) seating, it primarily is a take out place. Do NOT hold that against them as both takeout and dine in food is A-Maz-ing! I went with the Caprese Avocado Toast and a large tea. Very fresh ingredients. Clearly patiently assembled. Most importantly, tasty! The chai tea had a hint of cinnamon and was served in a nice big cup at just right temperature. They do not really have "table service", again think limited seating. However, the staff behind the counter are patient, friendly, and polite. After enjoying my meal, I got something extra to-go! As such, I clearly recommend you stop by. I know I'll be back again soon. read more

A small quaint café designed for grab and go patrons with limited seating (like 3). Their offering includes the standard caffeinated beverages and a host of breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Sesame bagel with scrambled eggs - Pretty standard. Lots of eggs, would recommend if you hungry. Latte - was more on the liquidy side with a rich coffee flavour, was pretty good. Bonus came in a cute dove cup! read more

I was visiting Philly for a staff retreat and I remembered Sicily Cafe because of good experience last year when I grabbed a cup yogurt with fruit and granola. I was hoping they were still there on this work visit! I called on the phone and asked if they could have a a mocha (made with soy milk) ready for me in 20 minutes since I was running late and the staff person was friendly and let me know that was possible! Upon arrival, my latte was extra warm as I like it. On the second day in Philly, I ordered a chai latte (prepared with black tea) and got an almond pastry to go. Excellent customer service for these to go items both times! read more

It seems like a great spot to meet up with a friend or to visit, find a corner read or work. It looks like a family establishment, as I noticed there were children behind the register, a young man, maybe 10 years old took my order and did a great job doing so! Bravo! I purchased a vanilla hot matcha latte and a pistachio milk cake, the total was about $21!!! This price was expensive, visiting establishment like this often is not feasible to my budget but there's so much more I need to try so I'll be back. The matcha was amazing, actually the most authentic I've tried!!! And the pistachio milk cake was delicious, being a person who literally puts milk on cake lol, this was amazing!!! It wasn't too sweet and the pistachio gave balance! The slice is enough to share or split for 2 servings, which is what I did. Bottom line, I'll be back! I'd love to try their coffee and another pastry and possibly sit outside on a nice day. Please visit and enjoy!!!

We sat in the outdoor garden on an unusually pleasant July afternoon (by Philly standards). It was very comfortable, even though the restaurant was full. We enjoyed several of the brunch entrees, to include the salmon eggs Benedict and Huevos Rancheros. The food was fresh, hot and perfectly prepared. Finishing with a sampling of their wonderful desserts made it a perfect meal on a perfect day. Well done and highly recommended!

Okay so a few of us from work had been saying "we should go there" for like a month and we finally…read moreactually did it. The whole reason was the garden patio and oh my god, yes, absolutely worth it. We picked the right table too, right in the middle of everything. We ordered cocktails, got a bunch of things to share, and just kind of settled in. The scallop and shrimp risotto? My favorite thing we ordered. It sounds like it's going to be super rich and heavy but the pickled vegetables on top balance it out perfectly and I cleared my plate. We also got the biscuits to start and the salted honey butter that comes with them is actually dangerous because you will not stop eating it. We debated ordering another round. The cucumber salad I honestly almost said no to, but it ended up being so refreshing and it went with everything else really well. Glad someone talked me into it.

Made dinner ressys here as I was visiting Philly for the first time and heard so many good things…read moreabout the famous edamame dumplings. Parking was easy to find outside, and I was welcomed and greeted nicely upon entering. They provided me with a veggie menu upon seating me, which I really appreciated. I also had the pleasure of being waited on by the very handsome Vinny. He checked in on me often and made sure I was enjoying my meal. The edamame dumplings were pretty good! I had imagined whole edamame beans, but they were mashed inside, which was definitely a surprise. Also had the wasabi mashed potatoes, which had a very unique flavor that I hadn't had before. Overall my dining experience went very well. I accidentally dropped one of my chopsticks, and a gentleman picked it up immediately and got me a new one. Inside the ambiance was relaxing and the lights were dim, but I was still able to take nice pics of my meal. Highly recommend if you're in the area :)

Nan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodle House

Lazy Sunday after an unsuccessful Memorial Day beach weekend. It was cold and rainy all weekend but…read morewe decided to hit up some beef noodle soup place to warm up. On this cold almost summer day, Nan Zhou was hustling and bustling. Separate parties at the same round table and clients coming in and out of the restaurant facade. Warm lighting and active banter. I received my bowl of beef noodle soup was pretty satisfied. Beef was tender with flavorful bites of fattiness. Somehow, the meat tastes beefier than beef. The cilantro had potent herbaceous flavor with some spinach(?) and mustard greens. Noodles were pleasantly chewy w variation in texture. Lowkey, everything else was alright. I like to be nice so I'll say no more. Cucumbers were fine

We came here around 1pm on a Sunday and ordered the mapo tofu with noodles, the house special…read morenoodle soup, and a shrimp stir fry. This place was packed, which is always a good sign, and even with that the staff stayed super prompt and professional. The house special was my favorite. I got it with the knife-cut noodles and it was perfect with the broth. The noodles had that slightly uneven, chewy texture that really holds onto the soup. I never thought I'd be the type to talk about "mouthfeel" but here we are. The broth itself was rich and savory with a deep beef flavor, a little bit of oil on top that adds body without feeling too heavy. It's that classic, comforting Chinese beef noodle soup done really well. I added a braised egg, which had great flavor soaked into it, though it was served cold, which threw me off a bit. The mapo tofu with noodles was also really solid. It had that signature spicy, numbing kick from the Sichuan peppercorns, balanced with a savory, slightly salty sauce. The tofu was soft and silky, and mixing it with the noodles made it extra satisfying. It's got some heat but not overwhelming, just enough to keep you going back for another bite. The shrimp stir fry was lighter but still flavorful. The shrimp were cooked well, tender with a slight snap, and the sauce leaned more on the savory side with a mild sweetness. It felt like a nice balance alongside the heavier noodle dishes. Couple practical things: it's cash only, but there's an ATM right by the seating area which makes it easy. And the portions are generous for the price, so it feels like a really good deal. Overall, super satisfying spot. Busy, a little chaotic, but the food absolutely delivers. Definitely a go-to if you're craving hand-pulled noodles.
