Not recommended
I never liked Abbraccio, and I don't really like Gold Standard for the same reasons. Their dinner menu seems similar- overpriced for quality. Kudos to them for adding a breakfast/brunch option. I wish they'd focus on that, make the value of that menu better, and stop trying to be an upscale restaurant. W. Philly could really use a good all-day breakfast place (the Upenn Diner is not a great option) and Gold Standard had potential to be that.

Nice new spot
I'm not sure why these owners thought it wise to open a coffee shop smack in between two other local shops, but they did. And honestly, Gold Standard is nicer. There's also lots of outdoor seating, which is cool for people- watching on nice days. The upside: it's a little more upscale. so one could ostensibly take a date there to start the night. There is also a food menu (which I didn't try-- only expresso). The downside: it's a little more upscale! So sitting for hours on one cup of joe is not advised! It is also a little pricey: desserts are $6 for tiny, sad- looking slices of pie. I like this place's location, but really feel like they are trying to do too much-- coffee, breakfast-lunch-dinner-dessert, byob by night, etc.
