The menu offers a fantastic selection of dishes, showcasing bold and fresh ingredients.
Their quiches are amazing! I had the quiche Lorraine and it exceeded my expectations. It was crispy on the outside, melty on the inside, balanced flavor and all in all delicious! I would absolutely recommend this! I also tried the almond and chocolate croissant which I wasn't really impressed with, but it was good. I would expect more flakiness like a butter croissant but it was ok. The salad - I had the goat cheese and raw beet salad. Fresh and crispy however the dressing was overpowering citrus-y and ruined the experience for me. I should have tried it first before I dumped it all on the salad. So if you do get that salad, try the dressing first and then dress your salad accordingly. The service was good and friendly. My food was ready in a timely manner and I had it to go, which they had thoughtfully prepared in a bag with everything I needed - even an extra set of utensils (one for the salad and one for the quiche - thank you for that, Frieda!) I love the idea of bringing people together and gaining wisdom and experience from our elders. I loved everything about Frieda and will be back!
We loved Frieda so much that we went three days in a row for breakfast—and on the third day, I even woke up early to go before catching my flight! The food is world-class, the staff is world-class, and the atmosphere is just as special. It’s rare to find a place that nails both food and ambiance, but Frieda does it effortlessly. Every visit felt like a delight, and I can’t wait to come back next time I’m in Philly. Highly recommend!
Cute cafe and art exhibit / market / event space; keep in mind that they seem to want to keep it a laptop-free zone, with signs at the front saying that you cannot sit in the common area with a computer. I tried to get some work done and was asked several times if I wanted to buy more than a coffee.
The food here was amazing! Plus the place had a great environment. I highly recommend the avocado toast with salmon.
I’m surprised I hadn’t discovered FRIEDA before knowing they’re approaching their 10th anniversary. The seasonal menu is really nice — omelettes and quiches are great. The pastries are made fresh in house. The almond chocolate croissant was almost like eating dessert. The space also features art and handicrafts from regional artists, with rotating pieces on the walls available for sale. It’s a pleasant spot to eat and browse. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! ⸻
Such a unique place. A very nice spot to hangout with friends. All the food and bakery are so good! Wish I could live near by. And the staff were very attentive and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
This cute art themed cafe has delicious breakfast and coffees and teas. I had the avocado toast with salmon and my mom had the continental breakfast. Everything tasted fresh and their is artwork on the walls as well as a little gift shop to buy art, teas, and jams. The servers were so sweet!!!
Alternative, out of the place spot for casual brunch and sweets with good coffee. Sense of art is introduced on the walls and tables, overall offering good atmosphere to stop for refreshment. Delicious food!
The food was really fresh and delicious, I loved the avocado toast the the continental breakfast was also really good! The continental breakfast had a bit every thing and I loved their jam! We had the avocado toast with salmon which was pretty good, it felt fresh and the pesto on the toast made it really good! Overall recommend this place and definitely will be back to try other things!
