by Erin F. on On this past Sunday morning, Elizabeth B. and I rolled up to Cafe Lift for a brunch a little closer to the "unch" part, rather than the "br", thinking we would miss the crowds. I've looked at their menu before, found it intriguing, but just never got around to trying it until this weekend. I also thought Cafe Lift would be a good choice, a spot off the beaten path (as in, a random stretch of 13th Street between Callowhill and Spring Garden), far from the queen of all brunch spots, Honey's, and everyone's OTHER favvy fav this side of Center City, Cafe Estelle. I was pretty much wrong because Cafe Lift was bumping, although closer to the degree that Cafe Estelle bumps, far from that of Honey's. After climbing the short flight of stairs to the dining room, the first two tables I saw were filled with pretty much everyone I know, including but not limited to guest stars of many of my reviews, Alexandra W. and Mr. & the future Mrs. Stephen S. - great minds think alike, guys. We waited around for a quick 30 minutes to be seated, but no big deal there. The food was good - after attempting to order the huevos rancheros, sans sausage, I was told that the refried beans weren't vegetarian, either. I should have inquired what about them wasn't veggie but I didn't. I went with the roma tomato fritatta instead. Compared to the most recent fritatta I had at Sam's Morning Glory, it was absolutely superior in texture, flavor, and content. My only complaint was the lack of roma tomatoes. There were (I counted) THREE IN THE WHOLE THING. THREE? Five would have been plenty, four would have been okay, but three was not enough. It was heavy on asparagus, light on the star of the show. Still very delicious. The potatoes were solid, but I'm a potato person, so that's cool, the toast had grill marks on both side, no crust, was maybe lightly buttered, but what is toast without LOTS of butter and strawberry jelly? Answer: not much, not much at all. I didn't really eat it, but whatever. Even though Cafe Lift is a liiiittle heavy on Ikea merchandaise, the atmosphere is pretty open and solid. All in all, a good meal, a nice little place, with a good menu. From what I heard from my homies, the breakfast burrito is tight, and the other egg dishes are solid as well. I'd like to try the french toast - I'm pretty sure one comes with pistachios. That's what I want next time. I'd probably return for the same reasons I showed up here in the first place - under-the-radar location and great menu choices. Could use more tomatoes, veggie refried beans, and could defintely do away with the whack Ikea mugs, but other than that - good times.
by Yolonda Madagan on I love the new location. It feels safer at night since it's in the Amsterdam shopping location and parking is sooo much easier. I ate the fried goat cheese, fried potatoes, tomato mozarella salad, chicken skewers, and balsamic ribs - all were delicious. My sangria hit the spot after a long day at work. This is your party place for late night snacks, drinks and some brazilian booty shaking.
