Fiore

Really like this cafe. My main criticism is that I find it inconsistent. I've been a few times by now, and love that many of their pastries change every week. Overall, they taste good, but the proofed goods consistently have a yeasty after taste in my opinion. I enjoy their breakfast sandwich as well, but on some weekends it is cooked better than others. Ice cream 10/10. Flavors are awesome and texture truly is the one of Italian ice cream. If you think of visiting with small children/stroller know it is possible but the space is small and might feel too busy on a weekend.

Fiore finally has pasta again. The pork ragu is elevated Chef Boyaredee in all the best nostalgic and warm and fuzzy ways. The pasta is perfectly al dente, the sauce is perfectly salted and seasoned. I love their other offerings as well. Breakfast sandwiches are amazing and well portioned. The hash brown isn't crispy all the way through - only the exterior is a light crisp. The inside is soft and pillowy, a touch of grease. The fried cauliflower has incredible texture (from the nuts) and acid. The arancini is creamy and cheesy in an addictive way. Fiore's food is indeed fine. 5/5.

A bite of Italy in Philadelphia!Fiore is a small cafe in Kensington, with a menu that features not only pastries, but coffee, light breakfast/lunch fare and even gelato. I Visited at 130pm on a Saturday, and had about 3 or 4 people in front of me. I would caveat, that if you're going for the pastries, you should visit earlier than I did, because the selection was pretty limited close to closing (they close at 3pm). But what I did try was good! Italian drinking chocolate : 15 out of 10 !!!Fiocco de neve: 10 out of 10Chocolate bombolini: 8 out of 10Cinnamon sugar donut: 8 out of 10The hot chocolate is Lucious! I regret agreeing to share a cup with my partner, because it was so good, I wanted another. The Fiocco de neve was my favorite pastry! Small brioche bread with milk cream and sweet ricotta inside. Not overly sweet or overly jammed with ricotta, made for the perfect bite. Both the chocolate bombolibi and the cinnamon sugar donut were tasty as well. Street parking available, not plentiful. Will definitely be back!

A must stop spot for any breakfast sandwich lovers like myself.My family and I did a small sampling of three of their breakfast sandwiches which were all delicious in their own ways. My personal favorite was The Breakfast Sandwich (oddly the only one without an interesting name) which had a deliciously flavored sausage and umami flavors with every bite. Without being too greasy or salty either! A huge accomplishment in my book. This is likely a testament to the quality of ingredients if I had to guess.I will say while the egg and ricotta was delicious, for me it was just missing something. But it was pretty light on the palate.

A very cute cafe with counter order service and open seating after you order. The baked goods were delicious! My friends and I split a bombolini, a pistachio croissant, and a Nutella croissant. The pistachio croissant was by far my favorite with pistachio cream in the middle. The breakfast sandwich was ok, I thought it could've used some more flavor and it was a tad small. I'd definitely go back for more baked goods!

Truly a special place. Was probably the most underrated but exceptional restaurant in South Philadelphia before I guess family and Covid changed things. Now it's a much smaller hole in the wall kind of place but absolutely beautiful decor. The menu is limited but they do everything exceptionally well. Like having a special Italian cafe in the middle of East Kensington.

Really love that this spot popped up in the neighborhood. Came in for breakfast on a Sunday. It wasn't crowded but wasn't empty either. We got a coffee, a chai donut, and a "saltie" sandwich. The donut was pillowy soft and pretty big. The chai sugar coating was so delicious. The sandwich was a little crispy on top but the egg and ricotta was dreamy. I really enjoyed it. They have a bunch of different pastries and sandwiches. I would say come around 9:30 because we came before that and they kept bringing out new things.Also, the decor and vibes were so cute and amazing. I can see myself meeting friends for coffee and hanging out here.I'll definitely be back!

We have been so thrilled to have this spot in the neighborhood. We order a bunch of things for breakfast to share and I always think it's going to be way too much but it's all so amazing we scarf it down and roll ourselves out of there. I love getting the tomato pies or pizza of the day which seems odd first thing in the morning but that pizza dough they use is to die for. They have a lot of savory pastry options and delicious breakfast sandwiches if you aren't much of a sweets person which I'm not, but even so I can't resist the bombellinos (spelling?) and really all of it. Coffee is also great. The space is small and doesn't have many tables but we usually go during peak times and a spot opens up quickly so we haven't had a problem. Service is friendly and helpful. One of our favorites!

AMAZING Italian cafe. I'm so happy this just opened in Fishtown. We tried one of the croissants, and 2 breakfast sandwiches. The bec and "the breakfast sandwich". Everything was very good, it took all my willpower to not order 7 more pastries. Service was very friendly, and we hope to dine in next time but got there at a very busy time. And can't wait to try their gelato!

Have been through twice now. First time was too crowded to sit so we grabbed a pastry and a slice of pizza to go. I liked both a bit more than my husband did. Went again with a friend, each had a coffee drink (both good), split the apple cranberry pastry which was good, and got breakfast sandwiches. My BEC was okay, really messy. The caramelized onions on the bottom made it slippery. My friend got a different sandwich and the bread was so burnt the bottom was black. Cute interior, probably will just end up being a coffee and pastry place for us though instead of getting proper food.
