Breakfast Boutique Mount Airy

Fry an egg on a rock in the middle of winter before going here. Your rock egg will be done before you're seated or greeted at this place. It's a no, never again for me.

I was concerned when one of my girlfriends said she wanted to dine here now that she has moved in the neighborhood. The Google reviews were very mixed between customer service and food quality.

My first experience with Breakfast Boutique was with their Chestnut Hill location which I had delicious food and no problems. When this location opened, monitored the reviews for this location and decided I will not spend my money here.

That changed when this was the location selected for catch up session with one my girls.

I am happy to report that customer service was good. When I walked in, there was no one there to greet me. However, in less than a minute a young lady came from the kitchen area, greeted me, asked me if i needed a table for one as I walked in alone, I said a table for two and she grabbed some menus and flatware and escorted me to a table. She then informed me the name of our waitress as I sat down.

My girlfriend arrived just a couple of minutes after me so we reviewed the menu and our waitress. We started with water and juice and then after determining what we were going to order, our server was there to take our order.

But that was the last time we saw her until we received our check. Our food and drinks were delivered to our table by someone else.

Our drinks came out quickly and there was a bit of a wait for our food (we both ordered the Boutique Sampler which included red velvet pancakes, cinnamon swirl pancakes, and the stuffed French toast and a side of bacon).

I would have loved my food to come out hot versus lukewarm but I still give them 4 stars for the good morning greeting, time it took to get a table and place an order, size of water and juice, and the portion size of my food.

I truly enjoyed the stuffed French toast. The red velvet pancakes and cinnamon swirl pancakes were fine. Nothing I would order again. The prices are reasonable as well.

Tip: residential street parking is FREE on the weekend

I only gave this rauncharama one star, because you HAVE to star it to post a review. The service was terrible. And the fish served with the fish and grits was way too salty for human consumption. The manager came out and told me that if it was cooked again, it wouldn't be any different because they use a preseasoned mixture to flour the fish. He then proceeded to point to certain items that I could only substitute. $25.00 for inedible fish with eggs and grits that I wound up tossing Oh, and the bathroom was nasty. My first and last visit to the Breakfast Boutique.

While visiting Philly my group decided to eat at breakfast boutique. The restaurant was empty so prefect..... nope! Tho the food at this restaurant was undeniably amazing, the sluggish service left much to be desired. It's disappointing that such delicious cuisine was overshadowed by the slow service. Other customers said the same things that were seated nearby. Unfortunately, despite the excellent food, I won't be returning due to the frustratingly slow service.

Save your money... I came here on a Sunday in the early afternoon - my cousin and I originally chose another restaurant but their wait was too long and we were hungry and noticed that this place wasn't too far from where we were. Also, we called first to gauge the wait, which we were told was about 15 mins.

When we arrived we saw a sign that read "Please wait to be seated" so we stood by the door until someone came from the back and acknowledged us. Once our table dried and we were seated, then a waitress came to take our drink orders; the drinks were brought to the table quickly (with no ice... I guess we were supposed to know to ask for it?). The menu options looked fairly good - I decided on the Vegan Chicken and Buckwheat waffle meal and an order of home fries. As the waitress repeated my order, she repeated it wrong (she kept saying Vegan Chicken and Oatmeal waffle); I corrected her multiple times, then she took my cousin's order. Before she could leave the table, I asked her to repeat our orders and she did (correctly). When the food was brought to the table, I was shocked and underwhelmed. The waffles were pale and unlike anything that I had ever seen - I must admit that I never had a Buckwheat waffle before but when I googled it, they were all some shade of brown, not tan... The waitress dropped our food on the table and basically ran away - she did not ask if we needed anything else so I waited a few minutes for her to return from the back and then asked for butter for the waffles, I buttered my waffle and took a bite - the waffle tasted like uncooked dough (even though it was firm); I took a bite of the vegan chicken and that was ok so I thought I might eat home fries and chicken but the home fries came out with 1 onion and absolutely no flavor. I was very disappointed. Another waitress, who I believe was also the manager, walked by our table and asked if everything was ok - I shared my dissatisfaction with her. While I was sharing, she let me know that the waitress was supposed to ask if I wanted onions and peppers in my home fries, which she did not.

I was hungry and disgusted but could not dare to ask for my order to be "fixed" nor did I dare order anything else because the food that I had lacked flavor and I had no confidence that anything I ordered would meet my standards.

I caution all who are contemplating giving this place a try - if you like good food and good service, DON'T!

A really cute ambiance. The service was good, and the waitress was patient and friendly with us (my friend had her 3-year-old with her). I had waffles, and they were bland and doughy--didn't really like them. My friend had a vegan breakfast bowl and said hers was really good. I would give it another shot.

This was my second time at the Mount Airy Breakfast Boutique and the menu selection did not disappoint! I tossed over what to try again this time lol. That just means I have to go to back.

This is a cozy gem in the 6600 block of Germantown Avenue in Mt. Airy. They have a second location in Chestnut Hill in the 8600 block of Germantown Avenue and a new location named Boutique River Falls located in the 3200 block of S. Ferry Rd.

Without further ado, allow me to introduce what's on the table:

Fried fish and grits. Question: Salt and pepper or sugar in grits?

Blueberry waffle

French Toast

Build Your Own Omelete

Cornbread

Boutique Seafood Omelette with salmon, shrimp, spinach, and cheese/ Boutique potatoes / Fresh avocado

Due to the small size of the restaurant and kitchen, depending on the day and time you arrive service may be slow. My suggestion is, go with someone you njoy talking to and be patient. The food is prepared fresh and definitely worth the wait!

Our waitress Rachel was super pleasant and apologetic for our wait. We understood we arrived at a popular hour on a Saturday but we definitely had a great time discussing relationship topics. We even met a nice couple that joined in our conversation.

I would highly recommend checking out the Mount Airy Breakfast Boutique.

Cheers!

Absolutely wanted to try Breakfast Boutique but the service, really the lack of attentiveness as if they don't really want you there, was what had us walking in then walking out and going to our jawn down the street.

Maybe it was an off morning. No review on food, just the vibe and the service felt lacking.

Located in the heart of Mount Airy, this quaint breakfast shop looks more like a small gathering room than restaurant. Two servers carry the load of the service from sitting customers, taking orders, serving food, to cleaning the tables. They were gracious and pleasant, facilitating an atmosphere that is casual and informal.

I ordered the Boutique Breakfast Sandwich, which is two eggs, breakfast meat (I ordered bacon), with cheese on a croissant. I added to it a side of the Apple Pie Pancakes. The food arrived and was pleasant in appearance. My eye immediately went to the sandwich that was served with only two slices of bacon. A tad sparse in my mind. It was however quite tasty despite the limited pork contribution, the croissant sweet and flaky the way I would have expected. The pancakes, on the other hand, were a tad bland, with the randomly placed apple slices that were cooked inside the hotcake not adding a whole lot to the flavor of the dish. The sweet butter cream was the star of the plate, adding a rich, buttery flavor to a selection that was screaming for sweetness.

Service and ambiance is what carried meal. From a food standpoint, it left a lot to be desired, especially since I can get a comparatively equal sandwich from a local quick serve restaurant at a fraction of the cost.

Stopped by this breakfast boutique for my last breakfast in Philly and it was fantastic!

They open at 7:30am and we were able to get seated right away. Staff was very personable, and we got our breakfast orders out very quickly. Loved my green eggs and ham, and was impressed by the amount of green veggies inside my eggs.

The jerk chicken and waffles got rave reviews from heat and flavor of the wings to the fluffiness of the waffles. No bad bite across our orders, and service was speedy. Will be back the next time I'm in Philly!

Every time I order to make out here there is an issue, whether they mess up the order, the order takes over an hour etc. this time is my last time. Because my order was over $60- I had to pay with a credit card (incur an extra charge not by choice), and told it would be 30 minutes. I knew there would be an issue when it took me 8 minutes and 45 seconds just to place the order over the phone. The woman who took the ordered fumbled and bumbled the whole way through. I was made to pay, although I explained her repeating my credit card number out loud was a security issue she insisted so I paid. My husband rides around there after about 35 minutes to pick up our food- surprise surprise they never put the food order in- I placed this order at 9:15AM, it is now 10:30, and I still have no food.
The food is always quality so I can't complain about that, but the take out service is horrible and a deterrent. A message to Breakfast Boutique. I also own a business and I am black, it is not easy- capital is scarce, and especially in food the competition is tough! But you can't let those items stop you from good service and being the best you can be. This neighborhood deserves a quality business with competent and quick staff that can assist. I am sad to say this will be my last time patronizing Breakfast Boutique of Mt. airy. The level is service for the price is inexcusable.
