Out West

Lamb scrapple with harissa strawberry jam sets the tone at this University City daytime cafe, where Philly breakfast staples get a twist and the drinks run to ube lattes and apple pie matcha. The former salon now spreads over multiple levels, with Black art and books on the walls, an upstairs lounge, and a patio outside. It comes from the Down North Pizza team, and like that shop, it puts second-chance hiring and the surrounding neighborhood first.
