It’s always a great experience at Talula’s! Everything from the welcoming check-in, excellent service (I had the lovely Miss Kate) and of course, the consistently excellent drink + food, it’s my go-to brunch spot every time I’m in Philly. Looking forward to my next visit! :)

We got lucky and got a last minute reservation yesterday after being on waitlist for a few days. Felt like I hit the lottery lol, as I know this restaurant starts booking up in October for the holidays! Timing worked out perfectly as we had to get my daughter to her bus back to another city where she lives — and we had exactly one hour to eat. Got seated right away, thankfully. Atmosphere is always festive this time of year, which is the main reason we wanted to eat here. Food arrived promptly and was tasty, service was good and we were on our way out the door on time as very satisfied customers! We will be back ☺️
