Penn Cafe’: Reviews & Ratings
Such a pretty space and with great coffee and food. Friendly staff and plenty of parking. A great new Delco spot!
On a visit to my hometown I discovered this is gem. Located in the re-purposed building in downtown Chester. The ambience and food was first class. I had the shrimp and grits, and I will come back to try the items on the menu during my next visit. I pray that you have success, and I pray that you get support. Welcome.
I have come in here two days in a row- they have a bagel with salmon, cream cheese, lox, and capers! I also grabbed their mocha with hazelnut and oat milk- easily spent 20 bux. The atmosphere is really giving midtown Manhattan vibes, or updated Harlem vibes. I like this place cuz it feels like home for me. They also have a room in the back you can rent out, as well as event space upstairs. This place is easily a newly established GEM on Chester's Black Wall Street.
