Red Parasol Cafe (formerly known as Ben & Betsy's Coffee & Gifts)

Me and my wife went to Philadelphia for the first time back in September. Were originally from Missouri but moved to Norfolk and decided we were going to make a trip that month. We did the casual things tourists would do (Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Rocky Statue, Eagles game, etc). Our first morning we were looking for a place to eat breakfast and ended up going here since it was a few block away from our hotel and overall It was an amazing experience. The breakfast sandwiches were delicious and the staff was very nice too. We decided to go there again the next morning. Highly recommend!

Excellent small cafe. Fast and courteous service. The pumpkin spice muffin was the best I ever had.

So I love this place, I came here when it was ran by the original owners and it was always quality breakfast and still is! The cook and staff are always so nice and helpful! The new owner is running the place down. I came in today to pick up my order when it was busy so it took a bit longer, which I understand, but I had to change my order multiple times because the owner didn't get the supplies the staff needed for the day. I'm pretty disappointed as I never had an issue when the lovely older couple ran the place. I'm sad to see this happening due to new owneship, and I'm especially shocked since the changeover happened awhile ago so issues like this shouldn't be happening. I hope the new owner can get this sorted out as I want to continue coming here, but will take my business elsewhere if issues like this persist.

Amazing place to have a breakfast. The food was really good and they have an amazing price. I recommend the cappuccino and croissant with eggs and cheese.
