Trey Popp finds the food at Cafe Estelle can’t miss no matter how tough it is to fine the actual storefront.
I didn’t taste a single thing at Café Estelle that wasn’t done just about perfectly. The food, like the atmosphere, is casual, but it’s made with unusual skill and care. A panini filled with dry-cured ham, manchego cheese and a splendid pearl-onion relish was the best hot sandwich I’ve had in ages. A cherry scone broke apart just as a good scone should, and was plenty generous with the cherries.

Cafe Estelle is that rarest of restaurants, a place that tells you with every element of every plate that someone is paying attention!. No perfunctory rim of the plate wipe when your food leaves the open kitchen, it aint leavin’ if it doesn’t meet Chef Marshall Green’s very high standards.
This is a guy who lives to cook and it shows.
The intelligently crafted menu makes it impossible for even the most traveled diner not to find something that they not only can eat but but cant wait to order. If the combination of ingredients looks like a stretch, trust the chef and learn something. He’s that good.
Airy friendly room, a staff that cares, really cares and prices that can have you there for breakfast and dinner a couple times a week. Though everthing is done so well, if you love fish, this is where you need to order it.
Someone who knows food and Philly!
