I recently visited this breakfast spot with my partner, and unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. While the atmosphere was charming and relaxing, perfect for a leisurely morning, the food itself was disappointing. The dishes lacked flavor, and the hot chocolate we ordered was not only cold but tasted watery and overly milky.
We spent about $40 in total, which felt a bit much for the experience. Another important note: this place isn’t particularly celiac-friendly. They don’t take enough precautions with gluten-free requests, and since items are cooked and fried in shared equipment, there’s a risk of cross-contamination. The staff, though friendly and accountable, could still make mistakes with special dietary orders.
On the plus side, the service was good, and the staff made sure we felt welcome. Still, given the food quality and the gluten-free concerns, I’m unlikely to return for another breakfast here.
With a lively atmosphere perfect for gatherings and a loyalty program that celebrates special occasions, it's a neighborhood gem before game time.

My boyfriend and I went to chicks last night to celebrate my birthday and had a great time! As a part of their loyalty program they help you celebrate your birthday, which who doesnt love that? Had a great gluten free pizza, they had pumpkin downeast on tap and lots of stateside seltzers. I do wish there were some more gluten free options but understand that's not always easy. We sat at the bar and had a greater bartender/server - Emily! She was friendly and one of the better servers we've had in a while!! Also love the neighborhood bar feel and everyone gathering before the Phillies game. Unfortunately we had prior plans but would've loved to stay and watch the game here.
A cozy brunch and lunch haven, perfect for those with dietary needs, featuring soulful dishes and great coffee—just be ready for weekend crowds!

Ants Pants Café is a fantastic brunch and lunch destination! As someone with gluten-free and whole food plant-based (vegan) dietary guidelines, I was thrilled by how accommodating they were. The menu offered plenty of options that fit my needs, and they were more than happy to modify dishes to ensure everything was perfect.
I enjoyed a delicious tofu scramble that was both flavorful and satisfying. The service was excellent, with our server going out of his way to help me find a variety of meals I might enjoy. He made me feel truly valued and cared for.
Ants Pants Café is a gem for anyone with specific dietary preferences or restrictions. Highly recommend for a cozy and welcoming brunch or lunch spot!
