Ida Mae's Bruncherie - Philadelphia

Only living a few blocks away, somehow this little gem had eluded me for nearly a year. This past weekend I finally made it here with two out of town friends who wanted a memorable local brunch without pretense. the facade was charming but under the radar, we sat at a bistro table in the cozy rear of the restaurant. The service was amazingly friendly and on point, the food surpassed any other breakfast spot i had been to before. The portions were huge and it was so inexpensive! Hands down best breakfast experience you can find in fishtown. this place has my unrivaled loyalty.

Quaint and cozy. This place is so good. The best strawberry pancakes ever!

Awesome food at a great price and a fun low key atmosphere. Really a hidden gem!

Excellent for breakfast or lunch, the interior is adorable and the specials make you salivate so much it's hard to choose what you want. Caramel Apple French Toast or Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes? See what I mean? Yes, some of the things are a little more than other places nearby $7 for egg platters instead of $4-5), but given the many other options available, unlike most other places nearby, I think the extra dollar or two is most definitely worth it. Only real downsides... no Mondays and they're only open 9-2:30 on weekdays 8-3 on wknds).

This was one of the best breakfasts I've ever had!! If you're in the area, stop in here for breakfast. Low prices, friendly staff, good coffee, and fantastic food!
