Euphoria Cafe

1001 N.2nd Street #23
Philadelphia, PA 19123
(215) 238-9209

You may remember the past post about cafĂ© Euphoria, but I didn’t. So I decided to try it again, for the tenth time.


Yes, it's in the dreaded Piazza, yes it's kind of weird, but damn, they make a great cheap sandwich pocket to go.


At $3.50 to $4.50 a piece, you can afford to order a couple and see what you like best.


Look at the beautiful lattice-like markings. Like an Eggo pocket, made just for you.


Luckily it was between breakfast and lunch (though I believe they serve everything all day), so I was able to start with a sausage, egg, and cheese. This is what hot pockets are intended to replicate. So delicious. And convenient.


Not wanting the sausage to feel left out, I also went for a bacon, egg, and cheese. Again, everything you would expect, in a beautiful, crispy, golden puck sized vessel. I will admit, they were somewhat dry in there. But this is nothing that ordering a little smear of ketchup or (and) mayo won't fix next time.


The ham and cheese was something I had not tried, but it about fit the bill for a late breakfast as well. Ham, cheese, iceberg, mayo, mustard. Simplicity, and execution. I could have used the cheese on the outside perimeter of the fillings, as to facilitate more melting, but it was a minor complaint.



If you want to go for a cheap coffee-and-snack-type date in Northern Liberties, you could do worse than choose to come here. Also, try the bulgogi, if you're visiting later in the day.

Cafe Euphoria

1001 North 2nd Street
Philadelphia, PA 19123
(215) 238-9209

I heard from a friend that Cafe Euphoria had great little pocket sandwiches. He was right. These little numbers are around $3, and hit the spot. Think gourmet circular hot pocket. I ordered one with mozzarella, tomato and pesto, and one with Korean bulgogi, mayo and lettuce. The shop is located in the Piazza at Schmidts and they have great iced tea. They also sell boba drinks, but I wasn't in the mood. I really liked the bulgogi version, it was like Korean flavored cheesesteak meat. The mozzarella version was also tasty, and together they set me back $6.5. Not too shabby. A great place to stop for a light snack.






Note the machine that turns pieces of bread into pocketed delights.
