The Cedars House

Absolutely one of my favorite places for breakfast. Egg and cheese croissant had the perfect mix of cheesiness and egg, the croissant was also very well textured. Great location in the forest, only issue is that it's pretty difficult to get to for anything other than bike, making it more one of those places you go to if hiking, not if you're just getting breakfast or lunch.

After bit of walk around the Fairmount park woods or on trails , this small eatery serves
Excellent food. Limited menu but good taste and healthy food. Recommend trying.

Cute place after walking along creek

My favorite cafe! Best croissants in town! And the sandwiches and other fare are delicious and always changing!

Great place for coffee or lunch after a hike or stroll in the park. Coffee and food are always fresh.

This is one of my new favorite hangouts while living in Philly. Perfect place to end a mountain bike ride or trail run. Bagel with Lox... Awesome!

Amazing breakfast sandwich but, more importantly, it’s nestled in the woods at the entrance of Forbidden Dr. Squirrels, chipmunks, and birds are gathered around thrown peanuts and feeders around the cafe. There are indoor and outdoor seats, some on a hill hidden behind the cafe. It is a near perfect aesthetic. Also, they serve la colombe coffee and ice cream.

They're open but not able to have any indoor dining yet, due to Pandemic response restrictions. Plenty of well spaced outdoor tables and chairs, I had a great sandwich.

Chocolate Chip Cookies as big as your face. Warm and delicious... straight from the oven. Lovely staff.

We happened to come across this place while out running errands and trying to find a coffee shop that was open. I had a rough idea of the location so we gave it a shot. Cute little place located just inside Wissahickon Park. Decent sized menu, good prices, La Colombe coffee, and super-friendly staff. Close enough we'll be coming back.

Having always driven past the trail and never having walked it before I didn't know about this jewel of a spot to eat. My coworker took us there for a short bonding time. I was very surprised. There is outdoor seating and the seating inside is comfortable and varied. It has a rustic/coffee house look without the coffee house feel. When visiting places like this in the past I have been able to get expensive food that was small in the portions and tasted okay. Those places seemed to try and impress you with the ambiance. That was not the case here. I was able to get a bagel sandwich with good toppings and a drink for under $10. It was also very filling. The building was air conditioned but not so much where you felt like you were walking out of a fridge to an oven. The service was great and they were friendly as well. I will make it a point to go back in the future.

We had know idea what to do in P.A, found this not far off a hike and it was great. The food, staff I would definitely go back. We got the quiche and kids turkey sandwich, which were so good and big portions also great dark roast coffee! I didn't bring my stroller but it would have been ok to since we stayed on that one trail.

Super cute place! Great vegan options. Really hits the spot after a long hike.

Got a smoothie sans yogurt after my run/hike. Super cute vibes inside and plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy.

I try to make it to The Cedars House once a week. The food here is always on point along with the service. Not only that, but it's also consistent. You can tell that the staff have a passion for what they are doing.
After I'm finished, it's nice to go for a short hike in the woods to burn off some of those delicious calories.

The Cedars House is The Best. Their chocolate chip cookies are amazing. If you’re lucky you’ll
arrive right after a fresh batch just came out of the oven. And today was a special treat. Though we showed up shortly after closing (early bc of Easter,) we were offered scrumptious mini carrot cakes. It was so generous (thank you!) and delicious. It’s also an amazing place to feel ensconced in the woods and under towering trees and to hear and watch all the sweet birds singing, eating, and flying about. Will be back soon!

Nice Cafe for a post run bite on the forbidden drive trail

Loved the bagels. Long line, but can see why. Great place to sit under the trees and people watch. Lots of healthy people around.

A quaint cafe to relax before or after a nice adventure in the Wissahickon Valley of Philadelphia.
They offer a variety of beverages, baked goods, and prepackaged snacks. Good food and drinks over all!
The staff is friendly.
For those interested in dining outdoors, they sometimes have live music.
Their entrance does requiring climbing a small set of stairs.
You can also rent their space for private events. They are really easy to work with.

I frequent here often for coffee or lunch when I need a time out, usually after a walk in the woods with my dog. Beautiful cafe in the middle of the woods with easy access points if you’re not hiking. Pet friendly as well-my dog is always eager to get a treat from the wonderful staff behind the counter when we visit, and they have water bowls outside as well. WiFi is strong as well, though I highly recommend unplugging, I have brought my computer along to get some work done in the past.
