Cafe Walnut
703 Walnut St, Philadelphia, PA
Crema's Take
“This spacious two-level Philadelphia gem is known for its reliably excellent breakfast sandwiches—think perfectly heated Korean fusion bulgogi bagels and spicy pork creations that locals rave about—making it worth seeking out even if the storefront is easy to miss. Baristas like Chris bring genuine warmth to the counter, and the expansive upstairs seating means you'll almost always find a table, whether you're settling in for a slow afternoon or just grabbing your coffee to go. The traditional espresso drinks shine here, though their specialty items are what keep people coming back and recommending it to friends.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

The Korean fusion bulgogi bagel here is absolutely delicious—flavorful and perfectly heated. Definitely worth trying! However, I have to take off one star for the iced latte. The coffee with milk was overly bitter, lacking aroma, and unfortunately so unpleasant that we couldn’t…
Stopped in after a doctor's appointment to grab some breakfast. It's easy to walk by the place and not realize it's there. The service was slow but friendly. They have a really nice seating area upstairs. Lots of sun and artwork. I had a toffee nut latte which was disappointing.…
