The food scene promises an array of flavors and fresh dishes. Coffee lovers can fuel up at Rosie’s Coffee or swing by Holy Grounds, on-campus favorites that have earned a loyal following.
For those looking to enjoy a sit-down meal, First Watch and Goodness Bowls offer tasty brunch options, from omelets and sandwiches to fresh wraps and açaí bowls.
Local institutions like Campus Corner and Jules Thin Crust serve up pizza options and more, while spots like The Goat’s Beard have a range of breakfasts, cocktails, and comfort food to choose from.
For those looking for a slightly more elevated experience, DePaul’s Table and LaScala’s Fire deliver delicious upscale Italian dining that local patrons love.
No visit is complete without a stop for a sweet treat. Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams and Insomnia Cookies have both captured locals’ hearts thanks to their sugary offerings.
When it’s time to step away from the table, the entertainment options are just as compelling. Catch an indie film at the beloved Bryn Mawr Film Institute, take in live music at Ardmore Music Hall, or spend an afternoon browsing Suburban Square and King of Prussia Mall.
