Review by Jayce Larson

September 08, 2024

I had a delightful brunch experience at Walnut Street Cafe! 🌞 The brioche French toast was an absolute standout - soft, fluffy, and perfectly sweetened. My partner raved about the chicken and waffles, claiming they were the best he’s ever had.

The cozy atmosphere, with live jazz playing softly in the background, made it a perfect setting to celebrate my birthday. The service was top-notch; Alex went above and beyond, making my daughter feel special with stickers and crayons.

If you're in the UPenn area, don't miss out on this gem for breakfast or brunch! 🍽️❤️
