There are very few places in Philly where you can see the alternative crowd queuing up in the middle of the freezing winter on a sunday afternoon just for brunch. With no waiting room and no shops around Sabrina's Cafe, cold hungry patrons just have to wait outside this tiny diner and chug free chocolate to keep warm. After what seems like forever, we finally got a seat in this quaint shophouse, with walls painted candy colours, and where pots of roses mingle with breakfast. Voted the best brunch place in Philadelphia, everything in Sabrina's seem like an eclectic mix. Its music. Its decor. Its stange menu which mixes scrambled eggs with mango with black beans with tortillas.
We had that, and it was surprisingly good! The salty beans, sweet/sour mango and spicy sauce went well together.
The eggs benedict, my favourite brunch food, was also done perfectly with grilled canadian bacon, poached eggs and sauteed spinach.
The highlight of the meal was still the two inch thick caramalized french toast stuffed with farmer's cheese and bananas. It looked like a permanent fixture on everyone's table. Sweet and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth. So gooey, sweet and sinful.
Sabrina Cafe's whimsical dollhouse meets bohemian makes it a place I want to live in, and a kitchen I want to eat out from everyday. This place beats RX and White Dog for best brunch place so far!

I can't believe you went to Tangerine!!!!! I was there this summer...luckily the employer paid the tab and it was a constant flow of incredible food.
I was a little disappointed with it for restaurant week though..the portions were minute ...but maybe because of all that hype i was expecting alot more
