Pure Sweets & Co.
Wednesday came, so you readers know
what that means- my weekly breakfast tradition with my sister, Catherine! We went
to Pure Sweets & Co. because we both have been meaning and wanting to try it.
Pure Sweets & Co. is located
in Rittenhouse two blocks away from the park. It is an all-day vegan, kosher
parve café/bakery with gluten-free and organic dishes and sweets. They specialize
in healthy and delicious food by using unrefined ingredients. Pure Sweets &
Co. allows their customers to eat clean and feel good about what they’re consuming.
To start off we both ordered
coffee which is from Philly’s own, Green Street Roasters. At the “coffee bar” and milk station, you can choose Brazilian Nut Milk and/or Coconut Sugar to accompany your coffee.
A unique taste and way to spice up your morning rituals of coffee!
To eat, Catherine ordered the
Vegetable Quiche which consisted of three layers: vegetable, egg and sweet
potato. My sister loved the sweet potato flavor because you are not used to
seeing that food item in a quiche.
I ordered the pancakes with shitake
mushroom “bacon”. This dish came with three quinoa pancakes that were the
perfect amount and size. Since Pure Sweets & Co. is vegan, the pancakes
were served with a side of shitake mushroom “bacon” that were crisp and a substitute
for actual bacon. Everything from the
presentation of this breakfast to the flavors was incredible.
The two things that I look for
whenever I am trying a new café, restaurant or bar is the atmosphere and
helpfulness of staff and this café passed the test! The atmosphere is very
homey and relaxing. It portrays as if you are sitting on the patio of your
backyard and you’re pulling the fresh vegetables from your own garden. The space
was very comfortable and spacious. The staff is very helpful and friendly by bringing your meal right out to you.
Everything looked so good to eat!
Inside there is a “to-go” case if you are on the go, or if you would like to dine in,
you are more than happy to do so. Pure Sweets & Co. also specializes in
cold-pressed juices, smoothies, soups, salads and snacks! Be sure to stop in
for a healthy treat! Catherine and I will definitely be back!
