Cherry Cafe
1601 Cherry St, Philadelphia, PA
Crema's Take
“Tucked inconspicuously inside a Center City lobby, Cherry Cafe punches well above its unassuming exterior with a genuinely warm atmosphere where staff remember regulars by name and the kitchen consistently delivers—from creative breakfast sandwiches and spring rolls to an impressive lineup of boba teas and specialty coffee drinks. It's the kind of neighborhood gem that rewards the effort to find it, balancing quick coffee runs with unhurried moments for meetings or leisurely meals, all at prices that feel fair for the quality and care you're getting.”

Hidden gem right at the heart of Philadelphia Center City, cozy ambience, great food, friendly people.
Although it does not look extraordinery from outside, even it is not visible, it is worth to jump in and grab something to eat. Good prices, very friendly staff. Spring rolls were delicious, as well as avocado sandwich. Crispy chicken wrap is also very good. Highly eecommend it
I've only recently discovered this gem of a place. So far I've only purchased breakfast sandwiches and a breakfast platter/smoothies which were delicious, but I also flip through the menu as if it's a magazine pondering what lunch item I'll finally order. Lol 10/10. Very pleasant staff and I usually text my orders so I don't have to wait.
This is a cute spot! It's inside the lobby to the right as soon as you walk in. They have photos of their menu. They offer all kinds of boba tea, iced coffee, and other nice drinks! They have a nice variety of breakfast sandwiches and platters. They have such a large variety of lunch and dinner options! I tried the iced mango boba green tea (with no milk) and a bacon and egg on sourdough (with extra bacon). It was so good. It had a homemade taste and a great crunch! The mango boba green tea was sweet and so tasty! The cashier was kind. She asked how I wanted my sandwich and was very hospitable!
I have gone to Cherry Cafe multiple times and the food/service is consistently great! Owners and staff are always extremely friendly and even remember your name. The menu is HUGE so there is always a good option to choose from. I personally love their breakfast sandwiches, Pad Thai, tuna poke bowls, and smoothies. Definitely a must try for quick breakfast/lunch in Center City!
