Vegan whole foods- healthy and delicious - Edit
Philly is very vegan friendly, they say. A lot of offerings though are fake meats and junk food. At the other end, there is amazing high cuisine, but not actually affordable. PS & Co comes in between. More expensive than fast food, but much better for you. It advertises itself largely on sweets but it has a few cold salads and wraps. Recently ‘redesigned’ menu (Sept 25) is limited. Grab and go and plastic is the emphasis. But sad if you are environmentally minded.

Pros: Whole foods. Yay, Very large servings - bring a takeout container , They sell some groceries on the side
Cons: Some of the drinks can’t have syrup taken out, Sugary drinks boo, Too much plastic

Thank you for your review! It is wonderful to hear you enjoyed your visit. < br />

We have transitioned from a full service restaurant to a counter service bakery & market cafe in order to continue to provide the most nutrient-dense and clean sweet & savory food possible while managing the rising cost of organic produce and packaging so it is not passed on to our guests. < br />
< br />
We do our best to source eco-friendly packaging whenever possible, the high cost often gets passed on to guests in our pricing, so we try to strike a balance to offer eco-friendly packaging when possible. We wish there were more affordable and accessible eco-friendly packing options! < br />
< br />
While we are counter service most of the time we do still offer full service dine-in brunch on Saturdays & Sundays from 9:30am - 3pm. < br />
< br />
We look forward to seeing you in the future! < br />
< br />
Sweetly, < br />
P.S. & Co.

Maybe my miss - Edit
Bagels were pretty ok, definitely needs cream cheese. Salad was like a huge pile of kale with pickled onions and a bit of tempeh.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback! We always take guest feedback to heart and use it to grow.
Read moreOur hand-rolled oat-flax bagels are made in small batches from scratch and are 100% organic, plant-based, gluten-free & kosher. We definitely recommend enjoying our bagels toasted with or without your favorite spread for the best experience!
The organic BBQ Tempeh Kale Salad is no longer available since we've transitioned from a full service restaurant to a counter service bakery & market cafe, however, we will be featuring fresh prepared seasonal salads on weekdays. We hope you'll give them a try!

Very tasty baked goods, but…. - Edit
….holy smokes! Almost $15 for a small cupcake!
Read moreThis looks like a fun spot for coffee and a treat. They have a solid looking menu for breakfast, sandwiches and salads. They have a good selection of sweet and savory baked goods in their case. I fell for the blueberry carrot cake cupcake. I generally don’t look at prices. I’m usually like, “Here! Take my money!” But when the guy directed me to the screen to pay, I almost fell over. With taxes, this small cupcake was $14 and change. Lol.
It was very tasty. It was maybe even $15 tasty.

Hello,
Read moreThank you so much for visiting us and for taking the time to share your thoughts! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the look of our menu and our daily treats—especially the carrot cake with blueberry cream, which is a favorite among our team as well!
We truly appreciate the opportunity to share a bit more about what goes into our pricing. At P.S. & Co., we are committed to offering a menu that is 100% organic, vegan, plant-based, gluten-free, and kosher. Organic ingredients, on average, cost nearly twice as much as conventional ones, and we take great care to source the highest quality available.
Additionally, nearly everything we serve is handmade in-house in small batches, including our cupcakes—from the cake and fillings to the creams, buttercreams, and garnishes. Though it is labor intensive, we are dedicated to crafting each item with intention and care.
We’re so thankful you chose to stop by, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!
With gratitude,
P.S. & Co.

Lovely brunch and bakery - Edit
Great place if you have food allergies! Different lunch and bakery items. The bakery items are expensive but if you are with people with various allergies, it is well worth the price! #Veganuary

Pricey Sweets & Coffee - Edit
We just wanted treats and coffee. I tried to order at the bakery case, but the employee made us sit down for table service. We ordered two tahini chocolate chip cookies and a coffee. For some reason, we had to wait for the cookies even though they were a few feet away. I was shocked when we received the bill since I had overlooked the lack of displayed prices for the baked goods. The cookies were $7.25 each, and the coffee was $6.75! $21.25 plus $1.70 tax plus an expected tip for table service that we didn't even want. I won't be returning.

I will dream of their mushroom soup - Edit
After coming here last time we were in Philadelphia I was surprised to see some negative reviews as we had always had great meals here. No it's not inexpensive but we found value in every meal we've had . And let me tell you about the mushroom soup, it was a special but man oh man oh man, this is the best mushroom soup I have ever had, I also had some bread with it on another occasion and the bread, my goodness was it delicious.
Read moreAnd on top of that we've had absolutely wonderful service, sweet and attentive. We also had the meatball sandwich, and the rice bowl, both were large and filling and good. But dang that mushroom soup… it almost made me forget about the incredible desserts!

Healthy + Delicious - Edit
Don't be fooled by the cupcake in the cover photo, this place has plenty of great dining savory and sweet options depending on your mood. Everything is organic with a focus on more WFPB options. I enjoyed their forbidden bowl but if I were to come again, their meatball sub would be #1 to order. For dessert, we had banana bread and a cinnamon roll which were both amazing. I forgot that the banana bread was GF! Great spot to stop by after the ESP.

Delicious food, great service! - Edit
I had a fantastic lunch at PS&Co! The chickpea *meatball* hoagie is so good and filling that I had to get my dessert to go! I love the cozy atmosphere and the servers are so sweet. I don’t eat out often because I eat mostly organic, so I truly appreciate PS&Co providing organic, vegan, gluten free meals that I don’t have to cook 😉

Gluten free highway robbery - Edit
There is no reason to go here unless you don’t eat gluten and hate having money. I understand that GF is never going to be as good as wheat flour baked goods, but if my coffee is going to be $7 I should get a straw that holds up for more than two sips and sugar that doesn’t taste like burnt molasses.
Read morePros: Cute spot, Attractive looking pastries

Not as expected - Edit
I was hoping for something more. I came for a Sunday brunch and was very excited to try everything. We had a couple of juices and wanted to try the special. After I ordered the special about ten mins later I was informed it was sold out. I ordered my food without peppers but they were still in it. I guess I was hoping for something more.

Rude owner - Edit
The food is just okay for the prices. I liked the nachos, but over the years, their cake slices declined in quality. Most of them taste like they have the same base. Did I mention the prices are astronomical?
Read moreLast time I visited I was picking up an order. I arrived first thing in the morning and after the person at the counter rung me up, I mentioned that I forgot to enter my phone number for the rewards program. He wasn't quite sure if it could be entered retroactively and before I could thank him and leave, he went to get the owner.
She looked at the screen, then at me, and sighed "well I don't have the time to do this, I'm just so busy" (the restaurant was dead). I've never had such a rude encounter with someone at a restaurant before, let alone the owner. I don't really care that rewards points couldn't be entered retroactively, but I do care about being treated like garbage. It was clear to me that she didn't appreciate my business so I decided not to return.

Hello, we're so sorry you encountered an unwelcoming response. I'm afraid I don't recall this incident because I'm not often on-site and this isn't something I would say. Whether it was the owner or a manager who made you feel this way, it's unacceptable. I apologize you had such an experience. We can retroactively correct points on the Toast dashboard, but are unable to correct through the register. Only managers have permission to make such corrections. We don't usually monitor comments here, but are starting to! If you'd like to reach out to us directly at info@psandco.com, we can help correct this.
Read moreAgain, thank you for bringing this to my attention. For anyone reading, we can best help if you can call us at 215.985.1706 or email us at info@psandco.com so we can do right by you. There are lots of review sites that we aren't even aware of so your message was sitting here for a month without us noticing.

Exorbitantly expensive. Sell the kids and head on in! - Edit
We popped in for dessert and each ordered a $12 fruit tart. A delectable creation! I also savored a $6 golden milk.
Read moreI wouldn’t mind eating the rest of the place, but I would mind paying what they’re asking. $18 for an açaí bowl! $17 for avocado toast! I’m sure they’re all abnormally good, but yikes.
We loved the space and the vibe. It’s a really nice place to exist in.
Pros: Exceptionally delicious , Charming space, Lovely staff
Cons: Bank-breaking prices

Inedibly sweet and overpriced - Edit
Great service but the food was meh. I tried the amaranth porridge and blueberry protein muffin and found both aggressively sweet. The porridge was overly sweet and still topped with candied nuts and a jam that tasted like smuckers strawberry jam (fake and candy-like), so the combination was inedible for me.
Read moreThe muffin was nice flavor and texture wise. Lots of blueberries in there, which I loved, but again, way too sweet.
I would have gone for something savory, but I’m not a fan of soy and most things had tofu or tempeh. I feel like this place lacks some more wholesome options and could half the sugar in their recipes.
Prices also felt high for what the food was.
Overall, I won’t be returning.
Pros: Friendly service
Cons: Pastries and porridge are way too sweet, Few soy-free savory options , Overpriced

Just okay - Edit
Had the noodle soup and the stewed chickpeas - both were just okay. The chickpea dish was more of a warm salad, it was mostly kale which I still enjoyed but was not what I was expecting.

Weird - Edit
I would give this place one star if I could. The ‘caesar salad’ here was the worst I’ve ever had. A ton of hard kale, a ‘glazing’ that had zero flavour as the spicy BBQ sauce was just spicy, there was no other flavour. Just slabs of lukewarm tempeh, not properly grilled or even warmed up. Totally uncooked inside. The portion was big and tempeh blocks were really good size. But no flavour in the whole dish.
Read moreCons: Flavourless food , Expensive

Yummy, Poorly-Labeled - Edit
The desserts are great, though they don't necessarily match traditional counterparts. For exampls, the "scones" were moist inside - more of a dense cake than the traditional dry/crisp texture of a scone or soda bread. Still quite yummy, though!

Best vegan GF flatbread - Edit
Flatbread was my favorite. It had a chewy gluten-like bite that I miss with most GF bread. The sweets were a little too sweet for my taste, but very flavorful. A bit expensive, but worth it if you're looking for high quality vegan, GF, organic everything.

Every Single Thing is Incredible - Edit
I often crave the nachos, forbidden bowl, and mango lassi. Despite having had all of them many times, they are always delicious and always hit the spot. My go to sweets are the jam thumbprint cookie and black bean brownie, but everything else I have tried is amazing. I am always super excited when the fruit and pumpkin tarts are available! The owner and staff are so kind and thoughtful and make every visit enjoyable and relaxing.
