While dining at Pietramala, my server recommended breakfast at La Jefa, a beautifully-designed space modeled after the restaurants found in Mexico’s Guadalajara. Around the corner from my hotel, I went the next morning and was not disappointed. On a Sunday, their famous brunch doesn’t start until 10am, but their cafe is open before that. Walking in around 9:30am, I ordered their ham and cheese croissant and the Totomoxtle latte with corn husk, burnt tortilla, espresso, and milk. It was balanced between savory and sweet and so unique. The croissant had a subtle taste of fennel and mustard, which made it stand out. Service is excellent as is the space. After having spent a summer in Guadalajara, it transported me back to Mexico’s second-largest city. Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

La Jefa Cafe is AMAZING & one of Philly’s best kept gems! We treated ourselves to a Valentine’s Day brunch and the food, service & ambiance were each 5 stars! The Mexican (Guadalajaran) based cuisine “with a twist” was showcased by vegetarian huevos verdes, which was vibrant, and packed with flavor, along with a flavorful zucchini sandwich that was both hearty and light. To finish, with a deliciously creamy, cinnamon chocolate mocha, we shared a pistachio concha (doughnut) and marzipan danish both beautifully crafted, melt-in-your-mouth tasty without being overly sweet. The fresh ingredients experienced in every bite along with great service, creative menu, and outstanding execution makes this a premier restaurant without a premium price tag ! Can’t wait to try dinner- Meal type: Brunch Price per person: $30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Vegetarian offerings: Large vegetarian selection, Vegetarian menu or section
