Gleaner's Cafe
Welcome to Gleaner's Cafe, an enchanting breakfast and brunch destination nestled in the heart of Philadelphia at 917 S 9th St. This hidden gem is not just a coffee shop; it’s a vibrant space brimming with warmth, art, and exceptional flavors waiting to be discovered. As I stepped through the door, I was immediately enveloped in a cozy ambiance that invites locals and visitors alike to unwind and indulge.
At Gleaner’s, the charm lies not just in the surroundings but also in the menu that features an enticing variety of Banh Mi Vietnamese Hoagies. Each delightfully crafted sandwich, ranging from the savory Banh Mi Thit Nguoi with ham and cold cuts to the flavorful Banh Mi Cha featuring dried shredded pork, is priced at a reasonable $7.00. For those craving something different, options like the crispy Banh Mi GA with chicken and the rich Banh Mi Thit Do with pork belly showcase the café's commitment to delicious, authentic Vietnamese flavors. Not to mention the Banh Mi Xiu Mai, packed with savory pork meatballs, available for just $8.00.
Gleaner’s Cafe isn’t just about the food. The heartfelt customer reviews speak volumes about the exceptional service provided by the friendly staff, who are often praised for making each visit memorable. Clark Herman, a regular, appreciates the friendly vibes but wishes for more space to accommodate the growing crowd. Linda Hrushanyk found herself enchanted by the vintage decor and the artsy atmosphere, punctuated by beautiful quilts for sale that add a personal touch to the experience.
Perhaps, what sets Gleaner’s apart is its sense of community. Customers like Nate Smith commend the café for serving delicious coffee and perfectly toasted bagels, while also showcasing local art that adorns the walls, making it a genuine local hub. The cozy environment is also pet-friendly, welcoming furry friends with treats, as noted by Serra Trinh, who felt right at home in this inviting café.
