Vegetarian approved with something for everyone!! I brought my vegetarian parents here for dinner after seeing the numerous veg options on the menu. We were pleasantly surprised! The cauliflower was our favorite. Their brunch menu is also fantastic with lots of options. The outdoor seating is awesome as well. There's tons of seating so I never struggle to get a reservation. A good safe option when you have a large group of people with dietary restrictions!

Best grilled TOFU ever! Get it on the side or on a salad (my preference). This place is vegetarian heaven. I know when I walk inside Front Street Cafe that I don't have limited options and anything I get is going to be delicious because they specialize in vegetarian food. Great place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Visited Front Street Cafe back after the new year when a friend made a last minute visit to Philly and said she wanted a burger. Fortunately, we saw FSC had a Tuesday night burger special which was decently priced and the food itself was decent! Service was quick and the cook was a perfect medium rare for me and a medium for my friend. It was a pretty quiet night inside with few tables but usually I see a lot of people inside when I walk by!

Very nice, chill spot for food and drinks. Service was good. Good outdoor seating. I had the spicy chicken sandwich with really hearty soup of the day. Chicken was crispy and not too spicy. Reply enjoyable time!

Not too bad, but not the best brunch in Philly. The service was good, the food came out quick, and the restaurant itself was nice! The food was OK. The Huevos Rancheros was warm, but not hot. The salmon platter was just OK, but the mushroom bacon was underwhelming as well.

Made it here for breakfast and they were very busy with a bit of a wait. However, the kitchen puts out amazing food very quickly so this should not be a worry to have. Interior is very welcoming and there is also a back patio when the weather is nicer. Drink and food selection was good, and there are lots of comfort food style breakfasts. Chilaquiles we're quite tasty and well put together. Very good place to stop in. Thanks

Beautiful outdoor area with heat lamps and spacious interior. Happy hour food is only at the bar while you can get happy hour drinks at the table. They do half off the cocktail of the week for happy hour which is a steal! Great place for a night out.

This was a cute dinner out. The ambiance was very cute outside with the lighting and decor. Service was fantastic and welcoming. We ordered the street corn shareable, french onion soup, and two burgers. The street corn was delicious, and I highly recommend as it was the highlight of our meal. The french onion soup was good, but 60% cheese and 40% soup so a warning to those who are lactose-intolerant. The burgers were yummy, and we preferred the spicy chicken over the brisket burger. The fries and side salad were both delicious.
