High Point Cafe — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Went on a Sunday. Super crowded until 12:45 or so.

Thought this to be a regular coffee shop vibe, but then saw folks being served their orders. Which is nice, but the staff to wipe off tables, etc. never happened (I was there for a little over an hour).

What I did see was staff eating the bits of bakery treats left from consolidating the inventory, and NOT WASHING THEIR HANDS AFTERWARDS.

The place was sticky and smelled like stagnant water, even through the smell of coffee and crepes.

It took over 30 minutes before my kid got his crepe. It was good but not for the price charged.

The orange juice cup that was at our table before we sat down was still there when we were leaving -- so I took it to the back with my plate, where we dumped it in an exposed bin of dirty dishes and silverware (which immediately brought back memories of dumping your plates in the big bin that sat at your college cafeteria's exit door).

I only came to this place to meet up with someone to talk about schools for my kid.

I definitely won't be going again -- it was just too sticky and moist for me; and it wasn't a rainy...

This is my favorite coffee house in Philadelphia. The ambience is that of a true cafe, and you can tell how good it is just by the way people are always so obviously enjoying themselves. Not only is the cafe cozy and welcoming, but it fits the laid back, community-centric, peaceful vibe of the neighborhood it’s in, and makes you want to stick around for hours. The coffee is high quality, and I often incorporate their coffee beans into my morning home brew. They also have fresh homemade syrups, like their lavender or mint. Their crepe menu is fantastic, and I haven’t tried one I didn’t like yet (and I’ve been going in for over 10 years). I am only in the area once a week but I almost always stop in. I love their savory biscuits and scones. They go well with a Lavender Latte (and their lavender syrup is wayyyy better than the lavender powder Starbucks now has). My favorite roasted beans are their LOVE blend and Jumping Goat! Finally, the staff has always been friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable about...

I first stumbled upon this glorious shop while looking for any local crepe places. Finally! I say to myself as I’m scrolling the menu. The sought out French toast crepes made me tingle, that sounds like heaven! So one fine day, I go in search of that French toast crepes and upon entering I was met with a display full of beautiful pastries. All thoughts of that crepe were out. I almost couldn’t contain myself ordering all the ones that were intriguing to me. The woman at the counter had the same feelings as I did, because when I ordered the toffee blonde she got excited herself. She’s says it’s one of the best things out! And I can totally agree with her. My favorites are really the danishes, they’re so flaky and the fillings are always perfect, never too sweet or overwhelming.

I’ve been back almost everyday since my first time. Great...
