A kettle sour ale brewed with loads of lactose for full bodied and sweetness, and fermented with Mango, Passionfruit, Banana and Soursop. This spring lager is sure to please with notes of toasted bread, floral hops, apple blossom with a slight warming from the alcohol. Cashmere Hoodie is a relative newcomer to Upper Pass' lineup of core beers, but it is quickly becoming a staple of their portfolio.

This place is amazing! I first stumbled upon here back in November ‘21 looking for a wing/casual spot with a visiting friend. The then-current reviews prompted us to try this place, and we were not disappointed. The wings were (and are!) phenomenal. I’ve been thinking about those wings for the last two months; eventually caving and heading back there last night with another friend for more.
We housed the wings, cheesesteak w/ fries and grilled cheese w/ tomato soup. The wings were just as I remembered them (crispy, temperature hot and drenched in their medium heat Buffalo sauce…ugh I’m

Awesome spot for burgers/sandwiches/bar food + a great beer selection. Get the fries just for the aioli. Very friendly and attentive staff too

The cinnamon raisin French toast was absolutely delicious! I ate every bite. My cousin had the eggs Benedict w/ chicken & it was so good too. Don’t miss this hidden gem.

We went for drinks. This seem to be the place that's not crowded in the area. Brunch here might be good and a shorter wait time. We got the fall sangria but didn't eat.

I love this restaurant. We were celebrating my Brother in Law's 62nd birthday. The Waiter, Jorge, was a Gem. He was courteous and helpful. The food was awesome and served in a timely manner.

So, I love this place. I came years ago and after finding out our first planned brunch spot was packed to the brim, I thought to bring my party here and what a great choice. The food was delicious; though one person said his fries were kinda burnt and we had a newer server who, due to an error, caused our food to come later than expected. Despite that, the drinks were amazing and the service still was great. I'll definitely be coming back.

I've been a couple times now during covid, and each time I end up liking this place even more! The owner and waiters have been really great, and the food is as well, with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. They have outdoor heaters and overhead cover.

I read a review in which someone said the home fries were the best they'd ever had, and admittedly thought it was a strange statement, because, come on, they're just home fries... but then I had them and oh my goodness, they are quite literally the best I've ever had!! Crispy, perfect seasoning, crunchy onion... incredible

This place is horrible for delivery. I tried to order from here on two occasions. The first time I waited almost 2 hour and the place closed suddenly. The second time I waited 45 minutes before they cancelled my order after excepting it and telling me it was being prepared. I wanted to try their vegan wind since they have such good reviews, but it should not be that hard to get delivery

Stopped here with a friend, we were walking by trying to find a place to eat lunch and figured we try this place.
Outdoor seating is nice and shaded. Once you are seated, there is a bar code you can scan on the table that will bring you to a website with their menu (I wish every restaurant did this) The server we had was quick and super friendly. All the food was great! We had vegan wings, regular wings, a quesadilla and burger. We couldn't eat everything because the servings are decent, but it was worth it.

Legitimately the best cheesesteak in Philly- I sh*t you, not. Get extra aoili for your fries that come with it also- but seriously you should be thinking about this cheesesteak RIGHT NOW. Then try anything else on the menu because it's far above normal bar food. I can't wait until I can go there again, but in the meantime takeout that cheesesteak!!

This isn't your Uncle Tony's cheesesteak and the bartender was nice enough to point that out when we ordered. Marinated steak tips with grilled tomato, onions and swiss cheese on a baguette. Very tasty cheesesteak. The ingredients works very well together. The person making this meal cared about making a very nice meal. Very nice atmosphere. All things considered the $12 price tag may be appropriate but the Cheesesteak was pretty small. The $7 mad elf and $6 Boulevard Sourberry helped us dollar cost average down. Very good overall experience.

Walking into the Abbaye at 7pm on a Thursday night it was quite quiet inside. The bar seemed empty, but I wasn't alarmed as I found out every Thursday they host quizzos (beginning at 9). I ordered a glass of Pinot to drink and the fried cauliflower as an appetizer. It has an asian twist to it. unique and tasty. For dinner I decided to go with the grilled cheese (sub tomato soup) for dinner. The grilled cheese was made on thick cut pieces of Texas toast. I personally didn't care for the bread to cheese ratio. It's hard to screw up grilled cheese. I give it a 3.5/5. Abbaye is obviously

*Bar review*
Great ambiance, really friendly bartenders and a solid selection. Prices are also fantastic, and they had some fun beers on tap. Great spot for a date or hanging out with friends - low-key, but still nice.

*Quizzo Review*
Easily the WORST Quizzo I've ever been to in my life. Apparently the guy's been doing it for 20 years and I have NO IDEA HOW!!! His questions made no sense and he just rambled through all of them, making what he was asking really unclear. Honestly, the guy just talked to whole time and said nothing of substance whatsoever. There was also a round where he

I read about their unbelievable vegan wings online that claimed to be THE BEST in the city...so obviously I had to check them out.

The wings were okay and the best part of my meal for sure (ordered the vegan meatball sub, we will get to that next). They were pure quality seitan hunks of fake meat and fried well. My two gripes with the wings that stopped them from being THE BEST (shoutout to Bourban Branch for still wearing that crown) was the hot sauce and their condiment options. The wings were covered in hot sauce which I am not a fan of, I would've definitely preferred a dry rub. Their

It seems like a nice lil spot, especially for good drinks. I went here on a Thursday during the holiday season so it wasn't too packed, which was actually what we were looking for. We only wanted appetizers and drinks. The drinks were really good! I had the Bulletproof Manhattan which was perfect for a cold evening. The French Pear Martini was quite tasty. We paired it with Korean Fried cauliflower and chicken wings. We definitely didn't explore the menu tot he fullest, but I would be willing to give it another try to see how the rest of the food tastes.

I have been frequenting The Abbaye for well over the last two years and have deemed it my local watering hole. The service at the bar is always top notch and the food is pretty consistent. Some of my favorites on the menu are the cheese steak, chicken wings, and quesadilla. The cheese steak is one of the best in the city and is a hidden treasure of North Philly. They also change up the specials quite often to keep things fresh. There are usually eleven beers on tap, with something for everyone, as well as a plethora of mixed drink options.

They host an abundant of events which are always an enjoyable

Ive heard about the cheesesteak here in the past, but never thought about trying it until I was here for Quizzo on a Thursday. First thing to note, is that any sandwich with cheese can get vegan cheese on it instead. The cheesesteak with vegan cheese, mushrooms, and onions was one of the best that I've ever had! Also tried the buttermilk fried tenders, which might've become my favorite french fries and chicken tender menu item ever.

There is a special on drinks on Thursday's, a shot and a beer, which I super appreciate! Other drinks are alright on price as well.

The Abbaye has a great atmosphere, great draft beer list and delicious food! I got the turkey burger with brie (yum) and my boyfriend got the shrimp po boy. Both were delicious although the po boy could have used more shrimp. The fries were excellent and so was the sauce they came with! The outdoor seating was nice as well.

I ordered food from DoorDash, so my review is strictly for the food!

I loved this vegetarian cheesesteak! It usually comes with tomatoes, which I thought was a bit strange, but I ordered it without and it came perfectly. I ordered the food towards the end of the day and the bread was still soft and fresh tasting. I was pleasantly surprised by that, because good bread can make or break a cheesesteak. The fake meat was flavored deliciously and paired well with onions and cheese. To my amazement, the fries were still crispy by the time they made it to me. I was prepared to receive soggy french fries

Really happy with my recent visit at The Abbaye. Came here on a Saturday around 1 and had no problem grabbing a table. As soon as we sat ourselves pretty much every table filled up after that. Our waiter was nice and checked on us repeatedly. They serve brunch till 3PM so that is the only menu they have offer till then. The Abbaye also offers $5 Bloodys and Mimosas. We ordered two Bloodys and they were perfect. Came topped with an olive, celery, and a pickle. H e a v e n.

For entrees my girlfriend ordered an omelette and I ordered the veggie burger. Her meal looked awesome. My veggie burger was

I can't believe I have not reviewed the Abbaye! The food here is outstanding and very vegan friendly. I always end up trying their seasonal homemade veggie burger. I've tried a bunch of things on the menu, like the seitan wings and seitan cheesesteak and they're both delicious.

The bar itself is pretty plain, maybe even a bit divey with the crazy chalkboard beer menus. I have to give the Abbaye a lot of credit for always having an assortment of different beers so everyone will be able to find something that they like. It's a relatively small venue but it's not usually

We came here on a Friday as soon as they opened at 11:30 AM. We were their first customers but the restaurant and bar quickly filled up by noon.

The hummus plate was $10 and came out with warm grilled pita, crumbled feta & olives and a piece of roasted pepper. Delicious!

I saw pictures of the Abbaye Cheesesteak online and decided this is the one I wanted - mainly because the bread. It isn't your typical soft long roll bread. It's hard and does not get soggy quickly. The steak was a bit chewy but the sandwich as a whole was good.

The fries that came with the dish was so nice and

I can't believe it took us this long to actually eat at The Abbaye especially because my husband is the property manager for it and this entire block in fact. We came on a Friday at 7pm and snagged the last table outside. Man, I love dining al fresco in this town and at the corner of 3rd and Fairmount, it's just a lovely, different change of pace from dining in center city.

We were greeted very warmly by both the bartender inside when we went in for a table and from the waiter as well.

The drinks we had were both delish. They have about a dozen rotating beers of all sorts on tap ranging
