After Dinner Delight

Cake and the Beanstalk

I am pretty sure I am in Cake and the Beanstalk once a week and this article will prove why!

Their homemade desserts are to die for! Last night I tried “Blood of the Englishman” and it was amazing. If you’re a true strawberry fan, you’ll love this!

This creation features Franklin Fountain’s strawberry ice-cream, house-made strawberry pound cake, whipped cream and cherries! Between all these ingredients, it is so sweet!

I went with my little brother after we attended Magic Gardens! Cake and the Beanstalk is a great café to go to wind down, relax with great company!

What’s best is now Cake and the Beanstalk is open until 10pm! It’s a perfect place to have a sweet treat after dinner : )

Perfect Combo & Afternoon

Spasso's Italian Grille & Franklin Fountain

Did you know that if you give Spasso's Italian Grille your birthday, you get a $15 coupon?!

My family has been going to Spasso’s for years now and it is never a disappointment! Between the authentic Italian meals, homemade pasta and open kitchen, you are in for an Italian treat!

For my mom’s birthday, my mom, sister and I went for lunch. I had the “Risotto Con Pesto” which included risotto, pesto, mushrooms and chicken! The ingredients were so fresh, I didn’t waste a thing!

Since the restaurant is located on Front Street, right around the corner is Philly’s own Franklin Fountain!

You can step back in time and enjoy some homemade ice cream! I got coffee ice cream which is my favorite. It is so rich and creamy, it’s a perfect way to cool off!

So if you’re ever in Old City, definitely indulge in these two locals!
