Restaurants

John's Roast Pork

14 E Snyder Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19148 https://johnsroastpork.com/

Walking distance and the best cheesesteak in Philly.  The beef is expertly seasoned and grilled, the cheese and onions are actually folded into the meat while still on the grill and the quality of the delightfully crusty rolls — delivered by Carangi Baking Company — could be enough to declare this cheesesteak Philly’s finest.

Belying this excellence, John’s cheesesteaks might only be the second best sandwich on the menu; the namesake roast pork sandwich is actually good enough to keep you from ever even thinking about ordering anything else.

Cake And Joe

1401 E Moyamensing Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19147 https://cakeandjoe.com/

Best breakfast sandwich in Philadelphia.  A quick walk to amazing mouse cakes, coffee and breakfast/lunch food.

If you’re looking for a casual brunch option with some great pastries and enough tables for groups, put Cake and Joe on your list. The sweets, like their raspberry wonderland with white chocolate cake and raspberry cream and earl grey brûlée with caramel banana, are delicious, and they also do more savory brunch options if you don't want to eat dessert for breakfast. Those options include fried chicken cornmeal pancakes topped with spicy honey, a buttered shrimp and spinach omelet, and seafood shakshuka.
