Breakfast

18th Street Gets Another Lunch Option with Devon & Blakely

Posted by Foobooz on May 14th, 2013

New York-based Devon & Blakely has set up base at 18th and Market, in the former Pikkles Plus location. The breakfast and lunch spot offers 18 hot soups daily, plus sandwiches, wraps, paninis, quesadiallas and salads. Yesterday we checked them out for lunch. We went with the Blackened Chicken Gyro which was really just a sliced chicken sandwich with spicy sauce on a grilled pita. Decent, but kind of small for $8.50.

Next time we’ll consider the tossed salad bar which had lots of fresh looking toppings to choose from. Salads start at $3.50 for a small and $4.50 for a large. Add-ons range from 50¢ to $2 each.

We’d have some photos of the inside but we were told no photos, and even had a finger wagged at us.

Plenty Opening This May on Spruce Street

Posted by Foobooz on April 5th, 2013

Plenty has been happily feeding East-Passyunkers for over two years now. In May, a second location is scheduled to open at 1602 Spruce Street. Morrissey Design of Flourtown is handling the design.

The building is on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places, so special attention was required to retain the historic facade while adding updated cafe windows. Inside, the cafe and mezzanine space make the most of the modest 600 square feet. Reclaimed wide-plank wood floor and timber beams are accented with black metal stair rails, copper counters, antique mirrors and a tin ceiling. Monochromatic wallcovering (which seems to be all the rage right now) covers much of the walls.

Like East Passyunk’s Plenty, this location will offer gourmet sandwiches, house-made baked goods and salads along with a full-service coffee bar featuring local Philadelphia coffee roasters.

Metropolitan Cafe Is Now Open (Kind of)

Posted by Foobooz on January 8th, 2013

We swung by the brand, spanking new Metropolitan Cafe this morning to take a look. The cafe isn’t completely finished but while the Metropolitan Bakery is being renovated down the block, you can pop in to take a look, have some coffee and of course get some Metropolitan bread.

The cafe will be fully functional by the end of the month.

Honey’s Is Still Coming to South Street

About once a week we receive an email, text or tweet from someone exasperated that the Honey’s Sit ‘n Eat hasn’t opened at 21st and South Street yet. So for the doubters, we spotted the sign of progress being delivered.
