Stephen's Cafe
741 N 23rd St, Philadelphia, PA
Crema's Take
“Stephen's Cafe is a warm neighborhood gem in Fairmount where the real stars are the impeccably fresh bagels and pastries that keep people coming back, paired with solid espresso drinks that hit when the baristas get them right. The whole operation feels genuinely welcoming—quick service, friendly staff, and a cozy vibe that works equally well for a solo breakfast or lingering with friends, though you might want to stick with their strengths in baked goods and straightforward coffee rather than adventurous matcha attempts. It's the kind of small business that nails the fundamentals: quality ingredients, genuine hospitality, and a space that feels like home.”

Bad quality matcha. Barista didn’t whisk the matcha right and it had chunks of matcha clumps which made it very bitter tasting, it was undrinkable for 7.50$.
got a vanilla latte, black coffee, spinach thing, pesto melt, and chocolate chip cookie! the vanilla latte was delicious as well as the spinach thing but it was all great. love a small business and highly recommend you go support
What a lovely spot in Fairmount! I came for breakfast got a bagel and latte. The bagel was so good! I need to come back to try their other pastries. Everyone seemed so nice and welcoming. There’s a good amount of seating off to the side.
Stephen's Cafe is a top kosher café for breakfast lovers! They serve delicious, fresh dishes with great coffee in a cozy setting. From fluffy omelets to perfectly baked pastries, every bite feels homemade. Friendly staff and a welcoming vibe make it the perfect start to your day!
Extremely delicious bagels, sandwiches etc. in a beautiful cafe. Staff were extremely friendly and nice. Food came out super quick. Really great vibes and really great food, can't recommend enough.
