2 months agoOutstanding cheesesteak — tender ribeye, fried onions, and Cooper Sharp on a seeded roll. Small, family-run café with really kind people and great Philly-themed decor. The other sandwiches we saw coming out looked just as good. Highly recommend.

3 months agoOrdered 2 sandwiches: Meatball alla vodkaand the chicken cutlet hoagie. Both were incredible. Some of best meatballs ever. Chicken cutlets were thin and crisp, perfectly cooked. The seeded roll was fresh, soft inside and crisp outside. Highly recommend

5 months agoI never even knew this little cafe existed until I saw it on TikTok, and I’m so glad I did! I stopped in to pick up a chicken cutlet caesar sandwich and fries. Everything was so delicious and fresh. The service was amazing as well! Super friendly and really fast. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their sandwiches on the menu!

5 months agoCafe Merlino came highly recommended and they didn’t disappoint! The roast beef sandwich is INCREDIBLE. Truly, one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. We also got the Tipsy Chicken - the cutlets are perfectly fried and thin, and the homemade vodka sauce with the homemade mozzarella just took it to the next level. 11/10, you will not be disappointed!!

7 months agolet me start off by saying, when you walk into this place it smells so good. like the food was just so good based off the smell so me and my bf knew it was about to be an amazing meal and that it was. we looked around the place and it’s definitely very clean and put together, they offer a few things to buy such as; popcorn for the people, different sodas, etc., but the menu and the front case is filled with so many good options. we both think everything is priced fairly for the HUGE portions given. the bread was perfectly crunchy and soft at the same time. the chicken cutlets in the sandwich too were seasoned to perfection. the friends has pepper on top which made them top tier. normally when we both go out to eat we get horribly bloated but something about the food was so fresh and delicious that we felt perfectly fine afterwards. truth be told we could’ve bought one sandwhich and been full but we got two and we finished it all. the vodka sauce, mozzarella, chicken cutlets, spinach, seeded roll, and balsamic glaze all come together to create such a mouth watering meal. we will definitely be coming back for more soon. in addition, the front counter lady who i believe is the owner was so sweet and constantly checking how we were, the service was a 10/10.
