I love ❤️ coming for a nice business lunch or luncheon alone for the Soup, Salad, & breadsticks. You have a wonderful selection of soups and their signature salad is renowned.

OMG!! I wasn't a fan of bubble tea until I came to ChiCha San Chen.  They are taking your tea experience to the next level.  I look forward to having my next meeting here or simple coming back for a tea tasting.

This was a pleasant surprise it's nestled on the main Thorofare in Jenkintown, and the store front is too cute for words but once you enter the shop, the smell just engulf you and then you see the decadent desserts.   Store hours are Thur, Fri, Sat 12 PM EST-6 PM EST & Sunday's from 1 PM EST - 6 PM EST.  You are going to LOVE IT!!

I love coming to this diner - It's modern but has a touch of nostalgia. The portions are large and you definitely need to get a take home case before you start eating.  Then the desserts are homemade and delicious.  This is the hidden gem you didn't know you needed to visit.

Mahalo!! OMG, this was the best hidden gem. Hana Hawaiian makes you think you have been transported to a small spot on the big island.  The food is excellent and authentic, great variety of dishes and drinks and everything is fresh made.

This is such a fabulous experience you must go and try for yourself if you are visiting NE Philadelphia.  Mango Mango Dessert is an true page torn out of Japan.  The ice cream is made from real and fresh fruits, and how they design each one is unique and has the perfect touch.

This is a great Breakfast, Lunch, or Brunch spot that was wonderful to meet a new client and I went back and took friends and it was just as good as it was the first time.  This jewel is housed in a fabulous shopping center that has so much to offer the best fashionistas.

This place is incredible - It has such a unique setting and offers so much that you can try.  I loved the hotpot they brought to the table and how you can select your own veggies, proteins, you name it in your soup.

I love this fabulous hidden gem - I shop here often for clients that need real whole food for a healthy diet.  I love shopping here even for my own household.  From the perogies, to the lobster bisque, to the homemade pasta. This is the place you need to add to you favs.

OMG!! I saw Nourish on IG and wanted to go and see for myself if it was as good as what they posted, and I have to say it was better than I thought.  I loved the Vegan Scallops, the Vegan Tings aka Wings which was too good.  Then we also had several of their drinks and now - We are ready to come back for the All-You-Can-Eat Sunday Brunch.

This is an experience that you should have - Peddler's Village is so picturesque and quaint.  Had the pleasure of taking a few friends to the apple fest and it was amazing.

OMG!! We went here as part of our PR trip and it was such a fabulous experience.  The setting is open family style very conversational friendly.  Then you have a modern setting it's a seat yourself and then the wait staff is exceptional.  We gave the food a solid 10 out of 10, the Oolong tea was delicious, and one of my associates got the bubble milk tea and said the best they have had in months.
