LULU CAFE
4508 Walnut StBubble tea! And cute pug! what more can I say.
BEST shaved ice shop in Philly! Arguably better than some of the best shaved ice places in NYC even. They also have bubble tea and waffles in the winter when it's too cold for shaved ice. They have a goofy patched up super screen (consists of 4 small screens) that's playing animation or the HBO show from which they're named after. GOT marathon anyone?

BEST Burritos in west philly. If you're looking for something more casual and afforadable, then distrito is probably not the best choice. Honest tom's breakfast burritos with sausage are THE BEST. Very filling and very tasty. so good that I haven't had anything else there after all these years...
