The Tasty

I have followed The Tasty on Instagram for a while and was very eager to visit them. I went on a Sunday morning and there was a bit of a wait, but once we were seated, everything was great. I don’t think you can go wrong with any menu item (100% vegan). The portions are filling and delicious. The bar display at the front counter has all the donuts, and I believe they offer a mixture of staple flavors and rotating flavors. The interior atmosphere is like a diner - it really feels like a unique experience in Philly. I think their menu has changed a bit since I visited, but I’ve included photos of the menu for general reference. Definitely give The Tasty a visit!

I'm vegetarian and came with my vegetarian friend. We were overwhelmed by being able to order anything on the menu, especially from a diner menu! We decided to split a savory option and a sweet option. Got the stuffed French toast and tofu scramble...and side of biscuits. I didn't want to stop eating.....as a vegetarian (nearly vegan) Ive missed going out for breakfast and being able to order other things besides pancakes. We both had so much fun because of the novelty and because of how incredibly delicious everything was! I usually prefer savory foods but couldn't get enough of the stuffed French toast! The scramble was perfectly seasoned and flavorful, and the biscuits were flaky and buttery. Best vegan breakfast in Philly hands down!

Back at the tasty it’s been a little while since I’ve been here about a month. This is the third time I’m here with a friend this time. I decided to have a pork roll egg and cheese called the dirty jersey and it was fantastic. My friend had a biscuit and gravy Bayou style. That was also excellent. Their dirty chai latte was spot on service was great such a nice place. It’s a pleasure to come here and always get great food and such a nice relaxing setting.

Whenever I googled vegan breakfast this place popped up so I decided to check it out. It’s a small cute spot with a traditional diner look. Although I was the only customer in the place at the time it took a while for someone to acknowledge me. There were 2 people working at the counter. I ordered the chicken and waffles. I will be the first to admit, I generally don’t love vegan chicken. I figured I would give this one a try. It was just ok. The waffle was fine as well, but nothing that would make me say I have to eat here again.

Corner restaurant across from a small park, in case you want to eat outside or have a little picnic. Sweet people, Uber helpful and understanding never made any assumptions which was nice as we were new to the place. My favorite was their country biscuits that we mixed in with some sausage patties on the side. I would come back to try their other menu items. And plan to get some of the fun stigmata cookies (it's Easter Sunday) so they look fun. But not sure how my mom and family might take it, even though none are going to services.
