A
new eat in/out spot has opened up in west Philadelphia. Cafe Rue 52 is
an up-and-coming and French inspired, coffee spot located on 52nd Street
(hence the name Rue 52). They specialize in your ordinary caffeinated
drinks, but that is not all. They also serve crepes! That is right,
they have added to the relatively small number of crepe eateries in
Philly!
The interesting thing about these crepes are the names. The owner of
the cafe/creperie, Mahari Bailey, decided to name each dish after a
notable landmark in Philadelphia! One is called the
Broad Street Run, and another named the Ben Franklin! Clever right?
I
visited the new cafe one weekend and was pleasantly surprised to see
that the overall feel of the cafe was very laid-back and chill. A place
where a student could do homework, without all the noise. There
was nothing but art on the walls and the music playing was very
relaxing. Its vibe is very different from cafes that you would see on
Baltimore Avenue or in Northern Liberties. There is a lack of “trend” in
this cafe. You don’t feel as though you’re going to find hipsters and
new age hippies chatting about what they don’t like about the world.
Instead, you will see many people from the neighborhood, everyday
people, that just want their coffee and a crepe.
All
in all, this is a really great spot. Nothing is overwhelming or trendy
about it. It’s a great place to chill and eat, and it's a great place
to do homework. So, check out Cafe Rue 52. I truly hope that this place
becomes more popular.
