I had the eggs over corn bread. I probably wouldn’t order it again. The corn bread was a bit too dry for my tastes. The rest was delicious. The staff was friendly and the place has a great ambiance. We sat outside, and since it is right in the middle of Passyunk Square, it has a bit of a small town feel. Will come back for sure.
Delicious food, cute ambiance, wonderfully charming staff (Colleen is so kind!) We had the egg sandwich with bacon, breakfast burrito, green smoothie, and coffee, all were excellent. The food came out fast, was reasonably priced (especially for the quality), and would love to make this our go-to brunch spot when we move into the area.

We got medium cappuccinos, blueberry pancakes, and egg and cheese bagel.
The cappuccino was good but not sure if the espresso was a big weak or if we just didn’t taste the espresso flavor in the cappuccino or if the cappuccino was made with drip coffee (I think the first option as espresso is on their menu).
The pancakes were amazing! Great blueberries, perfect done.
The egg and cheese bagel was a bit dry. A thin spread of cream cheese would make a huge difference. The egg and cheese itself were good.
I want to give this place 5 stars-- always solid food and lattes are consistently delicious here. The artsy interior is always fun. The pricing is just a *tad* too high for me to come back too often. Note: Cash or Venmo only.
UPDATE:
I heeded Jen's generous offer to try their latte again, and they didn't disappoint. The latte was substantially better, and it's great to see this cafe strive to provide the best it can. In Philly's growing (and already crowded) cafe scene, there's no room for failure. If you also want to think outside of the box, try their draft latte - provided by La Colombe roasters.
They additionally have a rich brunch menu, I ate the paleo hash - delicious and filling, I highly recommend!
See David for your coffee, and don't be shy to start a conversation with the staff - they're super friendly and engaging. All in all, a very warm atmosphere, great attitudes, great service, great end result ... I've revised my rating (and added new photos).

This is an example of a latte gone horribly wrong. When you see bubbles like this, you know it won't taste good.
Black N Brew was a great spot for my partner and I to grab a quick but delicious breakfast. I got cornbread and eggs with veggie chili and my partner got a standard eggs with bacon potatoes and toast. Food was great, coffee was perfect, would definitely come again.
Super cute and friendly. Absolutely delicious food and coffee. The menu is insane. Something for everyone!
I like the name. And I like the person who runs it. He’s himself and it’s refreshing to people like me. The food is great and I feel relaxed eating in, not rushed. Great spot!
The place is such a vibe and the coffee tasted amazing!! The staff is so nice. I recommend you try it.
Excellent experience with friendly service and delicious breakfast food + coffee. My favorite breakfast spot in Philadelphia!
