 I took an old friend who was visiting Philadelphia from out of town to Cafe Lift for breakfast.  At this point, any readers of this blog should know that Cafe Lift offers one of the best breakfast/brunch options in Center City.  A review isn't really needed as the photos should be more than enough.  We settled on crab bisque, Eggs Benedict, and the Pumpkin French Toast which was one of the specials of the day.

Hours: 9am - 3pm

I went to Cafe Lift after the Philadelphia 8K run.  Having been awake since 5am on a Saturday, our appetites and stomachs were a bit confused with brunch at 9am as opposed to 1pm.  The three of us eventually settled on the baked egg with beef this time, eggs Benedict, and an egg sandwich.  Lift continues to shine as a brunch spot in Philadelphia.  It never fails to satisfy but it is worth remembering that Lift is cash only.

Made it out to Cafe Lift with a group of friends from out of town for brunch.  Everyone enjoyed their meal immensely.

Cafe Lift has become one of my favorite brunch/lunch spots in the Center City area.  Its fair is a little lighter than Sabrinas and getting a seat with a larger group is much more managable.  The menu is fairly consistent with flourishes on their specials which are quite delicious.

The decor is more new age industrial and the focus is on the food which is perfectly fine with me.  Being a little further away from the busiest areas, I am hoping it stays a little more hidden as one of my favorite brunch spots in Philadelphia.  Everything is also reasonably priced but note that credit cards are not accepted.
