Front Street Cafe brings to Fishtown a friendly atmosphere and fresh menu featuring farm-to-table, locally sourced New American cuisine with international influences. Breakfast, brunch, lunch & dinner are available 7 days a week.

This unique space houses a coffee shop, fresh juice bar, restaurant with outdoor seating, indoor & outdoor bars and private upstairs event space.

Many of the ingredients, down to the condiments, are either made in-house or sourced locally and sustainably. Casual brunch service begins early and runs through mid-afternoon seven days a week.

Our full bar serves creative cocktails made with freshly squeezed juices and innovative ingredients, an array of craft beers drawing from both local and west-coast breweries, and a selection of wines available by the glass and by the bottle.

Free WiFi is offered in a comfortable second-floor community space overlooking the El, while a backyard garden has table seating for 80.

    Food is reliably good and they do physical distancing and other virus control measures very well. This is the only place I have gone back to in this pandemic time and I am never disappointed.

    Outdoor seating felt very safe covid-wise and we were able to find items on the menu we liked even though it's a shortened menu. We liked the vegan mac and cheese, buffalo cauliflower, and kale ceasar with grilled tofu.

    Loved the menu! Very vegan friendly for half our group and gluten free friendly for my friend. They also had some meat, diary, and seafood options but about half the menu was vegan. Out of six people every single one of us loved our food! The cocktails were very good too! This is going to be a new go to spot for me! Get the loaded fries they’re life changing

    Bad service. Server seemed like we inconvenienced him by asking for napkins and a straw. He got my order wrong and rushed us along. 20% tip added to bill was not deserved.
