Ricky SherrillAugust 9, 2016I enjoyed their spin on breakfast sandwiches. Their traditional breakfast platters are good too. Be sure to add the Maple Bacon to your order ad a nice side.
Craig CollinsFebruary 12, 2017Cool little aussie spot with excellent breakfast, brunch, and coffee. Specials are always killing it and the espresso is flowing. A true gem. Plus, it's byob!
Summer AlaniSeptember 2, 2018Amazing! Might be slow service just because it’s so busy but other than that it was delicious. The sweet potatoes are nothing like I’ve had before. Eggs of any sort is delicious. Friendly staff
Paul GroomsNovember 14, 2016Loved the food but not for people who like a lot of space between themselves and other diners. Can get a bit noisy.
Lisa RaderDecember 23, 2018We loved having breakfast there. The food was delicious and you can choose between so many really fancy dishes.- Visit PhillySeptember 23, 2011Curious about Australian coffees? Ants Pants Café in Graduate Hospital is a great place to be indoctrinated into flat whites and long blacks—along with iced coffees made from espresso ice cream.
order coffee with tim tams. bite off opposite corners of the tim tam and suck coffee through until it feels slightly soft. eat immediately. try not to sound like Sally in the diner scene.
Emily M.June 8, 2013The space inside is a little crowded; try to get a table on the back patio if the weather allows! Great, inexpensive food.
Brunch line can get a bit long on weekends but the food (and Aussie coffee drinks) are worth the wait.
RCDecember 30, 2014This place is so good. Get the hash and some sweet potato fries with the dips. Cash only!
Best breakfast around. Try the house specialty...creme brûlée French toast! Yumm. They also often have french toast specials to die for. Great staff, awesome food, perfect local place!
Philadelphia MagazineDecember 13, 2010When it comes to brunch, G-Ho residents know that this tiny Australia-inspired eatery is the ant’s pants. Try the bacon stacks (bread layered with bacon, tomato, arugula, a fried egg and cheese). Read more
Sweet potato fries are a must try, and the egg and cheese on a crossaint is good. Good service
Paul GaugerMay 29, 2023Breakfast was great value. Service is a little hit and miss. Australian drinks was a bonus.
Joe UlrichFebruary 5, 2012Try the Brekkie Platter - Great dish! Three sunny eggs, bacon, sautéed mushrooms, and sourdough toast!! Amazing combo!!
The super cute but tiny brunch spot with an Australian flair. There is ALWAYS a wait on the weekends.
Giancarlo MoranteMarch 13, 2013Service and food here is bangin' - get the sweet potato fries. They are off the proverbial hook
Marie Gooddayphoto WoytoJuly 28, 2012Try the Sweet potato fries - Served with sweet chili sauce & sour cream.
Try the oatmeal and French toast. The best I ever had outside of my ma's kitchen.- Visit PhillySeptember 14, 2010Try the Violet Crumble shake: vanilla ice cream, chocolate-covered honeycomb candy bar, caramel whipped cream.
Felicia HernandezJanuary 2, 2012the eggs on the bacon stack were WAY under cooked, felt like I was eating a legit raw egg. however, the chips on the other hand were epic!
Scott SpitzerJune 11, 2010It's become a little too popular for the locals. Hard to get a seat without waiting. Early is best.
