Black & Brew
Sometimes you go to a brunch spot to order a much-needed breakfast burrito and when it's served you can't help but think: holy shit, this thing's so big it could knock Joey Chestnut out of an eating contest! Other times, you go to some fancy restaurant where food portions are miniscule and you shoot daggers at the dude scraping bread crumbs from your table with that weird tool...because you would have actually eaten those. If there exists such a thing as a Goldilocks of portion size, Black & Brew has nailed it. Good food, a cozy set-up, affordable prices, and an unpretentious atmosphere make this place a South Philly gem. Bring your dog and walk off the calories after you grab a sandwich or latte—pooches are welcome in the cafe. There are even dog treats at the counter so your furry friend doesn't gawk pleadingly at you the entire time you devour your scrumptious breakfast or lunch.
