Café Tolia

"We were visiting Philly this weekend for a wedding and found this wonderful cafe during our morning walk. Elbe and the staff were delightful. The coffee and tea options were outstanding and the egg sandwiches on fresh brioche were in a word — AMAZING!!!! This neighborhood gem is a MUST visit!! They open early, the atmosphere is relaxed, clean and very calming! Wishing them all the best!"

"Clean and spacious space (seems great for working or hanging out), very friendly service and excellent coffee. Didn’t get a chance to try the food but the pastries looked scrumptious. Clean bathroom, too."

"Stopped in for a quick breakfast while walking around Old City and the 5 stars did not disappoint. The charming atmosphere, smiling staff, and smell of fresh pastries make for a fantastic breakfast. Exquisite chocolate croissant. Excellent breakfast sandwiches with a wide variety of customization option. The house baked brioche buns for the sandwiches are soft and buttery. Will definitely return when in town."

"Gracious staff, serene and yummy! There are power outlets at each table. The music is soft piano which is a perfect background for conversation or work. We had a delicious tiramisu and double espresso. The man and woman behind the bar were warm and friendly. When they accidentally overcharged us, they caught it (We did not notice)! And then they took the time to make it right! It’s hard to find honest people like that. This is a place to come back to over and over. I will try their butter croissant next time!"

"One of the best cafes in Philadelphia with such a cozy and homely atmosphere. My partner and I went to this place and ordered a cafe latte and tolia savory bun. Everything was great. The owners were very welcoming and allowed us to sit even after the cafe was closed. I would highly recommend this place if you want to have quality time with your friends."
