If you were to tell me roughly seven years-ago when I was spending a lot of time at corner of 28th and Girard with my brother that I’d be sitting in a hip and friendly location along Girard Avenue eating crepes in 2013, I would have laughed and asked what universe you were living in (although I would have probably been more polite about it). Still, one cannot ignore the food revolution going on in Brewerytown right now. With great places like Shifty’s Taco and RyBrew (an offshoot of RyBread on Fairmount Avenue that sells hundreds of beers) opening up along Girard Avenue, Brewerytown is booming.
Its newest eating establishment is High Point Cafe, a place that sells delicious crepes, baked goods, and some of the most delicious chai I have ever tasted in my entire life. I went for the spinach, turkey, and cheddar with bacon, and I enjoyed every single bite. I can definitely say that I will be paying more visits to High Point Cafe in the future after eating that delicious and hearty crepe. I was also surprised to learn that High Point Cafe is based out of my current home-base of Germantown/Mount Airy. That excited me immensely.
Lastly, I have to give high praise to the entire staff at High Point Cafe. Upon walking in, I was greeted with friendly smiles, outgoing personalities, and sincere kindness. As I mentioned earlier today when I was eating across the street, High Point has really wonderful people work at it who genuinely care about people regardless of whether they are eating there or not. I could tell that they were appreciative of my business, but were also interested in getting to know me as a person and not just a customer. Things like that are not lost on me.
So, whether you’re in Mount Airy/Germantown or you’re in Brewerytown, pay a visit to High Point Cafe and get yourself a crepe. You won’t be disappointed.
