Serving breakfast every day starting at 8am, with our lunch and dinner menus running until 9pm Sun-Thurs and 10pm Fri-Sat. Front Street Cafe strives to offer the highest quality foods possible and utilizes local plant based farm to table and organic ingredients whenever available. Step through the back door and into our garden, a delightful green space for dining and private parties.

Just steps from Front Street, but miles from everywhere else.

This roomy, industrial-chic New American cafe occupies two levels beside Fishtown's clattering Market-Frankford El.

We enjoyed a delicious dinner on the patio in September, and the waitress was so good and helpful/friendly.

Everything we had here was so freaking good!! I ordered the eggs Benedict and you would never know that the hollandaise is vegan!! The ambience was great and our server was super nice! This place had been on my list for so long and I wish I had gone sooner

Oh the drinks start you off just right. If you get there around 1130a you will have both breakfast and lunch options available. Servers are COVID compliant, and they have a whole outdoor area. Setting up for a party! Parking is tight and it's right under the El. I had the chicken sandwich topped with bacon and the fries were perfect. I ate everyone else's fries too! I was starving. My cuz got the frittata and she loved it. Her first time having one. She said it was light and fluffy. Chicken tenders also consumed by our party. Big, juicy and crispy. Then there is the chicken breakfast

This was one of our favorite brunches in the city and we've been to far too many to count. The ambiance is absolute fire. It's industrial while still being cozy. It keeps with the NL vibe of classy but laid back.

The food was phenomenal and unique without being weird. I had mushroom bacon as a side dish for example. It was delicious, tasted nothing like bacon, but had a great fun flavor. We had a pumpkin whole grain hot cake which was incredible and my husband had a twist on a Benedict.

Everything top to bottom was delicious and we will absolutely return soon.

Great ambiance snd menu. Will definitely come back

On arrival you can park on the street but half s block down there is a parking lot that you can pay $5 for 3 hours (as of 2021). Totally worth it to not stress about your car.

Restaurant has a relaxed and hip decor. Has some seats on sidewalk. We sat out back. It was a large are under a tent. Really quite lush. I was totally surprised!! We had advanced reservations on a Friday for lunch and it was busy but seats still available.

When sat we were told they automatically add 20% tip and there is a 90 minute max. Since it wasn't busy at 2pm

In celebrating my friend and my 20 year friendiversary, we made reservations for a late Sunday brunch. Since Front Street Cafe was a good half way meeting point. Our reservations were for 3:30pm but we quickly found out that the brunch menu was no longer being served at that time, and the kitchen closed at 4pm. Wishful thinking on our part I guess. We were told as we seated that there was also an automatic 20% gratuity and a 90 minute sitting time limit. Which is fine, and understood due to the times we're in.

Although it was a misty day, we decided to eat in their tent covered outside

Went on a super cute cousin date and it was worth it. One of the best things about this place is that its outdoor seating has the best ambiance but we went on a slightly rainy/overcast day so we stayed indoors which nonetheless did not diminish our experience!

We went last Thursday for late lunch and were treated exceptionally well by our server. He was very attentive but patient with us (even though it took us quite some time to make up our minds and place our other!).

I went with the All-Natural Chicken Sandwich no pickles, add avocado, and a side of fries. Would've have gotten a perfect

Make sure to make a reservation ahead of time! We went for brunch this weekend and it got pretty busy shortly after. They only allow you to stay for 90 minutes and they tell you this up front, a slow eater WOULD NOT APPRECIATE THAT. Their smoothies and desserts are AMAZINGGGG. Vegan entrees are a hit or miss. The vegan scrapple was flavorful but soggy. Thankfully there are PLENTY OF VEGAN OPTIONS!

Price - 7-20 bucks

Atmosphere: very homey and southern feel! There was no wait and they required mask upon entry.

The service was great and the waiter was nice and attentive.

Food was great! I highly recommend the bacon ans cheese omelet!

Don't forget to get a cappuccino and add the vanilla chocolate shot ! It was the best coffee ever!

Cute cafe with great coffee and tea!!! The vanilla chocolate latte was like dessert. The masala chai tea was a spice of heaven! The applewood bacon breakfast sandwich was good enough but nothing super special. The service was nice.

Bomb food and ambiance! Great options for vegans though, although I personally am not a vegan.

I got the front street breakfast with tofu scramble and vegan bacon. Really good flavors in everything, and the vegan options make you not even miss the real deal! Highly recommend giving these a try because they're so unique (tofu scramble and vegan bacon).

I also got the ginger aid, which was refreshing and reminded me of home (which is LA - home of the green juices LOL).

My friend and I did outdoor seating, and it was so nice. This seems like a nice spot to just hang out and maybe do some

This restaurant was selected based on reviews and its outdoor dining space. Five of my girlfriends and myself dined at this restaurant to celebrate a birthday.

I wish I remembered our waitress name to give her a shoutout but I didn't make note it but she was sweet and very patient with our questions on the menu. She even took the time to take a couple of group pictures for us.

Now on to the food. I ordered the smoked chicken Mac n cheese and it was DELICIOUS. Wait let me say that one more time. The smoked chicken Mac n cheese was delicious (gluten free rotini, smoked chicken, peppers, fennel

Really loved the berry salad with tahini vinaigrette and fries were awesome too! Tasted like a homemade ketchup sauce. The salad was massive and super fresh and ambiance on back patio was great - service was A.

Finally had a chance to go out to eat after having twins and decided to stop by during brunch time.

The menu looked really interesting and while the carnivore in me was skeptical we pushed on and we weren't disappointed. The menu has some items containing meat but is primarily focused on vegetarian/healthy options.

We got the hibiscus and green citrus iced teas, the Buffalo cauliflower, the breakfast scramble, and the Korean breakfast sandwich.

The Buffalo cauliflower was very tender while still having a bit of crunch. You almost had the illusion it was heavily breaded. The Buffalo sauce
