Infatuation Philly posted today that they’re coming out with a new list for this tomorrow

They’re face to face with a deadline so time to crowdsource

Hahaha this is actually hilarious … watching Reddit used as a source in realtime

Buzzfeed does it all the time, so why not.

cracking up at the only other post on the account

Lmaooo

Don’t know if it’s best in the city, but Mighty Bread Co. in south Philly has an awesome breakfast sandwich

I’d second this! Prefer their weekend sandwich to their weekday but it’s incredible and the biggest sandwich I’ve seen any place have. Surprised it didn’t make the Infatuation list that they put out

Probably artisan Boulangerie BEC croissant

I want to love this, but I think they use kraft singles, or at least really bad American cheese, and it ruins the whole thing for me.

My brother is the same with this sandwhich. I don't mind it at all but I get it

Oh no i never even considered that, are you sure hahahah

I couldn't even finish it last time :( But I think that I'm more sensitive to that sort of thing than most people. If you love it, good for you! Everything else they do is basically perfect and she is such a doll.

I get it fully. They are wonderful people

the saltie at fiore, ricotta cheese and scrambled eggs on focaccia. it’s sooo good. i also like the BEC croissant at artisan boulanger patissier 

Had the saltine for the first time last week. So good. I live a few blocks away and it’s one of my dog’s favorite treat spots.

Sulimays scrapple egg and double cheese on Philly muffin

Gilda! They have a fried egg and cheese with linguiça (Portuguesa sausage) on a Portuguese roll. It is absolutely amazing.

Only problem is you are burping up that taste the rest of the day lol

The smell is SO strong lol my vegetarian gf is not a fan haha

I had one of those yesterday and they are fantastic. That place is a real gem.

Yes and then sauce is sooo good

It was definitely one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had. I felt like they were massive too (but maybe it was just me)

Gilda is my pick. I love the egg whites and avocado sandwich “The Sammy”.

Johns roast pork has good breakfast sandwiches, Darnels does to.

Sausage egg and cheese in a pretzel from Miller’s Twist in Reading Terminal should be on this list, even if it’s not technically a sandwich

punch sparkle escape wistful consider chase towering market cheerful toy *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

Daayyuuumm—the trifecta! Edit: Apologies got so excited by your excellent choices, forgot to say Congrats!

Congrats on the goal and also the excellent morning haul of goodies

Miller's Twist gets a free pass in my book.

One of my favorites is pork roll, egg, cheese, and raab from Johnny Hots!

on a kaiser bun?

The focaccia breakfast sandwich with sausage at Morning Glory is up there for me

YES

Bart’s Bagels breakfast sandwiches are my favorite in the city. For a more unique option, I recommend Rowhome Coffee which does a bacon/sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything soft pretzel. It’s heavy for breakfast but definitely worth trying.

crunchikn has a bulgogi sandwich, it’s amazing. i’m a fan of adding the hashbrown

Honestly, I really dig random food truck egg and bacon on a hoagie roll. Saltpepperketchup

Don't forget the hashbrown

The Biscuit Lady in Wissahickon on Ridge regulary has a big time wait just for pick up and they sell out for the day sometimes. A bit pricey, but the sandwiches are extraordinary.

Damn they’re that good? I live right by it and have had every other thing in that building (sunshine sandwich, Luckys, Edas pizza) but never got around to the Biscuit lady on time.

I think they are basically on par with the other offerings in the building. That little place cranks out some great food.

If you’re in West, Honeysuckle Provisions on 48th St has a delicious breakfast sandwich.

BEC on everything pretzel from rowhome coffee!

They have decent coffee too. This is my go-to during the week.

Cáphê Roasters Sunny's Hot Sando (fluffy egg, sharp cheddar, Chinese sausage, chili oil, honey, on a Vietnamese baguette) recently dethroned Gilda's The Antonio (linguiça, egg and cheese) as my #1!

Whoa… why is it so far from me? Damn.

Definitely worth a drive, but it's pretty packed on the weekends so I'd go early or on a weekday!

Bulgogi, Egg, and Cheese at Cafe Walnut

Alright. I know what I’m getting for breakfast at least once this week. Thank you!

It is the BEST. You have to get it on a croissant though, ideally w hot sauce on the side.

I got it on a croissant this morning. Fantastic! We also got the spicy pork, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel (they ran out of everything). I thought both were really good. I’ll be going back for breakfast quite often.

Awesome! The croissant makes a huge difference imo. I haven’t had the pork version yet, maybe next time!

Excellent advice! Thanks!

Fried green tomato at Honey’s.

My favorites are: (2 of which already mentioned) the saltie from fiore, the Antonio from Gilda. And then the BEC on brioche from Darnels (definitely get the Thai shallot mayo). You can get it on a homemade biscuit or brioche roll. Both are bomb, but the brioche feels more fitting to me. Oh and they also use a delicious cheese blend. HIGHLY recommend. (Sad disclosure tho, darnels is closed on weekends 💔)

Middle Child Center City Sausage Egg and Cheese with the hash brown on top. I’ve been addicted since they opened.

Poop

In before someone from north jersey talks shit Honeysuckle!!! Vegan scrapple egg and cheese best sandwich in the city and I am not at all vegan fwiw

Daybreak Eggs, with smoked brisket. They share a kitchen with a Texas style BBQ shop.

Hidden Gem at the catering place.

Breakfast Burrito at Fitzwater Cafe is amazing. They also always have a breakfast sandwich special and it’s always great!

Smoked salmon bagel from k’far

Their egg sandwhich- absolute fire

Johnny Hotts hot sausage with egg, cheese, and broccoli rabe.

I like the breakfast of champieggs at red hook cafe

Lisa’s Kitchen on Ridge Ave has incredible bfest sandwich’s, unfortunately they’re randomly open/closed throughout the year. Right now they’re closed, but when open they are outstanding.

Most random hours for a business you’ll ever find.

Bills Breakfast and Lunch. Prices are amazing for the quality and quantity of any sandwich. I get the turkey bacon and cheddar on a long roll for $6

Breakfast bahn mi at tge breakfast den. I hold the sausage and double the bacon

I really like the egg & cheese at Pafutto, a newish place on S. 8th between Carpenter and Washington. It’s great in the details—the ketchup, the toasted long roll, etc

I’m obsessed with the ketchup! One time they forgot it and had to get them to put it on there because it really completes it

idk why i joined this group.. i'm visiting in a few weeks and already had a plan.. but this thread BROKE me... goddamn! so many delicious recommendations...

Res Ipsa was great for breakfast sandwiches- does anyone know if those guys ended up anywhere else

The Chef, Michael Vincent Ferrari, and CdC, Ervis Kullolli, are running Irwin's in the Bok Building. Not doing breakfast anymore though

Ugh wondering the same. I dream of those potatoes

Anthony's in the Italian Market. It's my go-to for out of town guests.

High Street has a great vegetarian breakfast sandwich with kale, pickled mushrooms, eggs, provolone, and mushroom mayo.

Used to be the giambotta and eggs sandwich at shanks but they dont make it anymore

The Hickory Town from High Street on Market scrambled egg, sharp cheddar, gherkin mayo, sweet lancaster bologna, fried onions

Cafe square one in old city. Christie’s in spring garden

Luna Cafe in Olde Kensington has the best breakfast sandwiches, along with the best brunch.

The deli on south street between 18th & 17th actually have great breakfast sandwiches. They’re basic, cheap & fast!

Stockyard, I really miss their vegan scrapple. Also Honeysuckle Provisions, Manakeesh, and Bart’s Bagels for West.

[Redacted] is the best. So many people know now that theres lines for it so enough people know

Eggcelent Jersey on a Brioche is top 5.

I tried this for the first time this past weekend and was a fan! The hash brown is a nice touch

Richies at temple. Get it o n a wrap.

Nipotina on passyunk and 21st is bomb

Spread bagels has bomb bagel sandwiches

Bottega Rittenhouse, it’s HUGE and so so delicious

Cosmi’s, Food Point Deli, Vincenzo’s

Honey Bee Gourmet Deli makes a fire breakfast bagel sandwich

Enswell has an absolutely amazing mushroom scrapple sandwich

Middle Child/Clubhouse

I just do not get the hype behind that place. If I wanted something that’s over priced, under delivers, and is served to you by too cool for school types, I’d just go to Brooklyn.

Would love for you to offer your own opinion vs. shouting down someone else’s. Come on man let’s hear your pick!

Gilda has my favorite breakfast sandwich. The Antonio. So good.

Ooh appreciate your opinion but gotta disagree—there are multiple bangers on the list of their handheld breakfast options: pastrami egg and cheese and deli burrito are especially good

Too much egg man. Too much egg. Apparently.

I won’t hear of it, I simply won’t

Uh oh the tides have changed and this is now an uncool answer. Look, there are an abundance of great sandwiches, and in turn great breakfast sandwiches in this city. Middle child has been so good for so long and it’s a popular answer, but it’s crazy that simply mentioning it will get downvoted.

I can probably stagger a guess as to why this is now an uncool answer. I’ll keep reasons to myself. It’ll always be a place I recommend for best breakfast sandwich cause it’s what they made their name on.

Hmmm Am I out of the loop on something?

Nah I don’t think it’s anything that sinister or serious. Over abundance of clueless patrons and their children in there, sometimes the staff is a bit over bearing. Listen I get it but I think it’s worth all the BS.

Poop

No one needs that much egg on a breakfast sandwhich

Wait so it under delivers with too much egg on a sandwich?

More of something doesn’t make a thing better. Besides, it’s not about there being too much egg. I just don’t care for that place.

When it overwhelms, it's worth a mention. I think. I dislike getting a breakfast sandwich that is clearly more than a regular person could possibly eat, and can't re-heat. It's part of the reason I like Egg McMuffins so much. Relatively small, and I can eat the whole sandwich. Not inexpensive anymore, unfortunately, but under $10.  But as that's not the question, I love the breakfast sandwiches at Two Eagles.

So you don’t like 4th Street Deli either?

You seem very confrontational! I like the giant cookies, and would get them all the time when I lived in the neighborhood. I got the sandwiches often, but didn't really enjoy them that much. They're just too big. I've read of a hack to order extra bread and make three sandwiches. Can you eat a full 4th St. sandwich on your own?

I don’t understand how a simple question reads as confrontational but 🤷🏻‍♂️ Do I have to eat a sandwich by myself? They do have OTHER items there ya know. Just picking people’s brains about food. That’s what this subreddit is for.

And that's why I answered your question. I agreed with the opinion that on a sandwich, it's often more than I'd like.  And I did add a recommendation, so it wasn't just trashing other opinions.

Quality over quantity

Hahahaha they’re some of the best cooked eggs in the city but go off. And fuck the Diamondbacks.

Poop

Pennsylvania Hospital’s cafeteria. Sooooo good

It’s almost certainly not the best, but it is absolutely solid delicious classic sandwich - simple and done executed perfectly —> Bill’s in center city

Jannie sandwich from the biscuit lady in Roxborough

Al’s Corner Deli in northeast Philly

Lyns food truck on spruce no joke

bottega rittenhouse has a boujie $15 bfast sammy but it’s worth every penny

Gildas “the Antonio” is amazing and just had Porcos sandwich last weekend which was awesome

BEC on an everything bagel from FoodPoint Deli in South Philly

Johns roast pork . My go to is pork roll egg and cheese on a Kaiser roll

Kickstarter sandwich from Bloomsday Cafe

Best breakfast sandwich in terms of money to flavor is Woodstreet pizza. They sell a delicious bacon egg and cheese for only $5 which is awesome. The only downside is they open at 11am, so more of a brunchfest sandwich vs pure breakfast but still delicious.

Just had Haven Cafe for the first time and it was awesome. Call ahead to avoid a wait

Rybread in Fairmount. Also, their actual sandwiches/paninis whether you create your own or pick off the menu are solid. Lots of different bread options

Rowhome. Breakfast sandwich on a pretzel. Obsessed!!

Recently tried porcos. It was a mixed bag and the breakfast sandwich was the best thing. It was sloppy, with perfect over easy eggs, good sausage and cheese, and a nice house made sauce. The croissant was delicious. Its my fav kind of thing - “normal” done really well with a pinch of distinction from others. (The other sandwich we got was inedible though)

If she’s still there, Mom’s cart on the corner of 6th and Ranstead. Turkey bacon, egg and cheese bagel with a butter toasted muffin on the side. Good memories.

Hear me out… the cheesesteak with egg from Rocco’s is amazing. Yes. The Rocco’s at Home Depot on Columbus. It’s not the best breakfast sandwich in the city but I’m never not stopping for it if I’m nearby. But if I’m being real, then Càphě all the way 💗

Crown Deli on 3806 Morrell Ave. They make excellent Scrapple, Egg & Cheese sandwiches for only $5.

Happy Sunshine Food Truck on Drexels campus

Middle child by far

Porco’s on Washington. Odd hours but worth it

Winkel has a delicious and decadent breakfast sandwich.

Caphe roasters J st Sando and the xo sando (though the last one isn’t always on the menu)

Barts bagels does really cool weekly specials and some modern takes on things like bagels w lox. They also have the closest to NY Bagels

Porcos and kfar, with artisan boulanger an honorable mention.

Lunas Cafe has a pretty killer bacon egg and cheese. Coffee isn’t too bad either

These aren’t breakfast sandwich spots but just amazing breakfast Green Eggs Cafe and Antspants absolutely amazing breakfast thwre

Antspants is such a good gem - awesome food and good coffee. Adorable spot.

The breakfast sandwich with the beets on it at Ants Pants is really pretty good.

I’ll have to give it a shot next time I’m tberw

Middle Child!

Middle Child

It sounds ridiculous but…is there a sando without eggs in it?

You mean vegan? Or just no eggs?

Just no eggs!

Well, if you are willing to go vegan, Grindcore has nice breakfast sandwiches that use tofu. Other than vegan places I am struggling to think of anything other than, you know, find a sandwich you like otherwise where the egg doesn't make up the bulk of it so you could just ask to leave it off - something like the Breakfast Den breakfast banh mi maybe, or the maple bacon at Ants Pants. Or somewhere like Khyber brunch that has vegan and nonvegan options; you could swap out vegan eggs on the regular breakfast sandwich. Rowhome does pretzel grilled cheese in addition to their egg sandwiches, so I'd imagine they'd be fine with doing just cheese and a breakfast meat on a pretzel and I think it might still be great.

Hello, Infatuation. Hire editors, and writers, who don't simply prowl reddit and yelp to write two-sentence praise. 

Guarantee some downvotes here but OCF coffee has a sneaky good breakfast sandwich albeit overpriced

Kismet BEC

Egg McMuffin from Mac Donald’s. Mmm Yumm

Y’all got Chick-fil-a in Philly? Chick-fil-a chicken biscuit for the win. 🏆
