Capriccio Cafe and Bar

I love the food and coffee and I love Felicia who is the main barista there. But the tall Caucasian gentleman there refuses to put on gloves! And when I confronted him about it he lied to my face and tried to act like he had gloves on. Very simple ask to put gloves on at a FOOD place dude.

The line was piling up, as one guy (who just started working here) worked really hard to meet our needs; he was very polite and apologetic. His co-worker, however, just seemed to do whatever he could to avoid working. He was just wandering around in the back or coming up front just to make sure his phone was plugged in. When no one was in line and the place was empty, that's when he offered for the first guy to take his break. Lame.
The food is expensive. A very small cheese and ham croissant for close to 8$.

Nice spot to pick up a quick breakfast sandwich in a plaza. The sandwich was fine and at a decent price, and I liked that it was freshly prepared. But with only one employee, it took a while per customer which I can see being a problem if it's busier.

There's some seating if you need to eat in. The muffins were very flat, so I passed on that. For a grab and go kind of breakfast/lunch need, it was a decent version of that.

Capriccio's look so cute on the outside that I had to make an impromptu stop inside when my family was doing a walking tour of Philly,

There's cute outdoor seating that looks like a great place to enjoy a drink and soak in the city.

I got an iced coffee to-go that was just what I needed to fuel the rest of my tour.

So, my feelings on this place are kinda mixed. The pros are that it has a great location along the Parkway. It's convenient for a quick lunch break or to go snack. The food is about average. The ice cream is Bassett's and so good in the summertime. In recent years, they have added a bar/liquor and are great for after work happy hours, especially in the summertime in the outdoor seating area. The negatives I would say are that the pricing is a bit high for average items. My #1 con, however, is the service. It seems like they hire from a service or something and the staff (outside of a man who I think is the owner) seems disinterested and not always friendly. There is one woman who is there often and she always seems grumpy and acts like she is doing one a favor. I've seen her talk over clients at the counter to the customer behind them to ask what they want. It is very disappointing for such an ideal place in a convenient location. Worth a try if you can tolerate disinterested semi rude service.

The food is great café style fare. The chicken salad sandwich was deeeelish. The coffee was great. As a non-dairy person, I also appreciated that they have oat milk (as well as almond and soy).

The atmosphere and location cannot be beat! Came on a cold day in March when the doors were still closed but it looks like the entire place is open to the outside in the summer. Have to come back for that!

Lastly, the lady who took our order and prepared the food and coffee was supper friendly and quick. 5 stars for great experience on every level

If I have a choice, I'd give this place a -10 star. The lady who took our order were discourteous, nasty, and abrupt. She would not look at us, turned her back on her while taking over orders. The location is in a good location, that's all it had. Don't ever go here if you can help it. I'm not sure if this is an private owned and she is the owner but she had push the level of rudeness to the max. If she is not the owner, and the owner is reading this, either provide more customer service training to your employee or determine whether this woman is fit to run this cafe or not. I don't recommend it this place to anyone!

Cool little coffee shop in a "park" really solid cold brew coffee and a friendly staff. I can't speak for all their pastries but the croissant was really dense and dry kinda disappointed with the cross isnt but the coffee was fantastic.

Cool spot for a morning coffee and muffin. Muffin selection and availability varies by the day but there's a wide selection of other pastry options.

In my humble opinion, the cold and hot drinks are overpriced!

Highly recommend! Really cozy, clean and cute place. We had a couple drinks at the bar, and it was great. Service was outstanding.
