Awesome Staff!

Staff is professional and helpful. Staff made sure food was hot and fresh. This site is in a great location!

Nothing says love like grilled cheese and tomato soup!

By Kathryn O |

Ordered family birthday dinner for pick-up. Everything was perfect, the order was ready on time, the order was complete, the food was hot and delicious! The tomato soup and grilled cheese combo is the bomb! Perfect birthday food!

Best grilled cheese and tomato bisque!

By Madison R |

I am not typically a fan of tomato soup and grilled cheese - but Couch Tomato's is out of this world! I keep ordering it because I can't get enough! They also have very good pizzas, pastas, and sandwiches. I've always had a great experience from delicious food to inviting servers!

Great gluten free menu

By Elizabeth L |

Best gluten-free hamburger/sandwich rolls. If they have "sold out" on the on-line menu, then you may have better luck making a call. Also the vegan coconut desert cake/cookie is out of this world!

Inventive, Fresh, Delicious & Indulgent

By SunshineGirl2929 |

I took a client to lunch here as she likes to eat healthy and is a foodie, so still wants taste and clever recipes. They delivered on all the above, and I looked good for suggesting this place! We sat on the 3rd floor in the Bistro, which has wait service. Dishes we loved were Goat Cheese Salad and Short Rib Pizza. Amazing! With soft drinks and lots of leftovers, lunch for two with tip was only $40. Not bad for business, and we could have easily eaten well for about half that by sharing. I was also happy to see they have gluten-free pizza crust, which was tasty for gluten-free, but not as delicious as the regular crust.

Best pizza and quick delivery!

By AmericanTroutlaw |

I was visiting Philadelphia for the weekend and wanted to try something new that delivered. The Couch Tomato delivered in more ways than one! We ordered the kicken chicken sandwich and it was great but the bbq pizza was some of the best pizza I've ever had. My wife got the lemonade and she was impressed with it as well. They use local and organic ingredients too! It was reasonably priced and the delivery was really quick. Overall, I highly recommend to anyone in the philly area!

Amazing!

By Tourist315391 |

I ordered the Burrata and tomato pasta and it was amazing! so creamy and rich! I also ordered the beer flight which was equally as good.

Nothing Good Lasts Forever…

By Amira Y |

I was on a winning streak! Amazing pizza after amazing pizza, yet consistently cool - never hot or even warm. And while on the expensive side, it was our go to. But something happened, something very bad and no good. My last pizza was disgraceful. I wouldn’t serve that to a rabid raccoon. They served me the trash. Half the pizza was burnt and the mushrooms were unrecognizable pieces of leather, not meant for consumption. In my mind, if I pulled it out of the oven it would’ve gone in the trash. There is literally no way I could put in a box and give it to a human for consumption. It literally smelled burnt. I’m offended.

Staff Treatment

By Aviana F |

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. For a store so small and simple, you'd think they'd be supportive and easygoing with their staff right, yet that couldn't be further from the truth. The so called leaders and supervisors fail to properly train employees but still criticize them and even lie about things they never did. Hearing how a former staff member was treated here by their own manager Josh was honestly sickening. Calling someone 'unprofessional' for being too friendly is ridiculous. If anything, that kind of energy makes the store more welcoming. And on top of that, not allowing employees to take proper food breaks or check their phone for family emergencies is unacceptable. Late paychecks, rude comments, and unprofessional conversations about hardworking employees seem to be the norm here. If you're still reading this, take it as your sign: don't support a business that can't even respect the people who keep it running. Your money is better spent somewhere that values both its customers and its staff.

Hip spot in manayunk

By Ezra N |

Great spot for tasty food right in downtown manayunk. Servers were fantastic and food is made fresh. Wide selection of comfort food

Great Family spot!

By Darlene L |

This is one of our favorite spots! Great food! Very fresh! Super family friendly but also a great low key date night option. Pizza are great! Wonderful kids meal options and the natural sodas are the best!

Super delicious

By Dena |

The food here is AMAZING. Great atmosphere too, highly recommend. Great for a date night or evening with friends

Great food!

By Kontham U |

Pizza and complimentary tomato soup were good. Seasonal vegetable pasta is not up great. Overall the ambience some great options make this restaurant good option in Manayunk.

Great food and great service

By Tour60576473838 |

Couch Tomato is a gem. Fresh ingredients, vegan and vegetarian options, friendly service. We've dined in, done take-out, and ordered delivery and every time the food is consistently delicious. If you need gluten-free pizza crust, theirs is outstanding, which is hard to find! The vegan poppyseed dressing is delicious, and their salad choices are excellent. In addition to the menu items they've created, you can also do build-your-own for pizzas and salads.

Not Safe for people with Celiac!

By Julia K |

My husband and I used to dine here frequently, they changed their menu last year and I was reluctant to go, but we did in February. They had a menu item "Edamame Dumplings", they were clearly labeled "gluten free". After seeing them and tasting one, I knew they could not be gluten free and I asked the waitress to check what the ingredients were. Then she came out very apologetic saying they are very sorry, the pasta sheets are NOT gluten free! This item was on their menu for MONTHS and was listed as gluten free when it never was. This was not a mistake of it being made incorrectly, it was never meant to be gluten free. The couch tomato is careless with their gluten free and that affected my health for months. A restaurant should NOT offer gluten free if they do not have the dedication or education to do so. The couch tomato has since changed their menu to reflect that this item is not gluten free but I will NEVER EVER dine here ever again.

We’re constantly here

By Alex M |

We have couch tomato all the time because it’s just simply good. Sometimes multiple times a week. Definitely a crowd pleasing place if you’re showing someone around yunk

Great for gluten-free

By Miralee S |

I have been to the Couch Tomato multiple times. Both in the bistro and upstairs restaurant area. It is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. They have really great appetizers. Their pizza is flavorful and there are a lot of unique flavors/ingredients to try from. The best part is that they have gluten-free pizza and apps and are very accommodating in this respect. While their pizza and sliders are delicious my favorite thing is their cheesy bread and I usually add pepperoni. When I come here I don't feel like I compromise value and delicious taste because I have to be gluten-free. Also, almost forgot to mention our waiter/waitress each time have been so sweet and patient.

Great atmosphere and food!!!

By Hsesso |

Great restaurant for a leisurely girls lunch. Wagyu burger and chicken salad sandwich were out of this world. Loved the sweet potato fries with the special sauce. They even gave us a complimentary sample of their tomato soup!! Can’t wait to go back ❤️

Repeat customers for gluten-free vegan options

By Mindy S |

Great gluten-free vegan options. Just love the pizza. We have been coming here for years and also pick up to eat at home. Just fantastic foodRepeat customers.

Just always reliably excellent!

By _DianaPrince_1001 |

Ordered a burger and fries for takeaway today for probably the 1100th time, and it was as good this time as it always is. Tomato shack is a deserved favorite in our house. Been going there for years and I have literally never ordered anything off their menu that I haven’t liked. Just a great place.

Great food and service

By Tom F |

Bartender and food were great. Tomato soup was phenomenal. I ordered Personel pizza and it was great as well. Cool atmosphere. Only gripe would be its a smaller size bar!

Awesome restaurant!

By mikayla b |

The Couch tomato is one of my absolutely favorite spots in Manayunk! Their fried goat cheese salad is to die for... I get it every time. Do your self a favor and dine at the couch tomato.

Couch Tomato

By Andrew A |

Hands down the best pizza and salads in Manayunk. Give the Italian Stallion a try. You won't regret it.

Perfect go-to for healthy lunch and dinner

By Trek02925561787 |

Absolutely the best go-to in Manyunk, perfect for lunch or dinner. All ingredients are fresh and most are local. I always get the sanwiches because I order from them so much, but the salads and pizza are well worth the price. Everything is filling. The wings though are some of the best ever. They may seem pricy, but trust me, they are worth it.

Local eats in Manayunk

By Reilly M |

This was my first time here and I thought there would only be pizza options at this place but there was a lot of different food options! I had the fanciest Grilled Cheese sandwich I’ve ever tasted and it was good! Coupled with Tomato soup, it was a perfect lunch.

Great Tasting Healthy Options!!

By Joseph B |

Food is great, service is great, so many options to choose from and its all fresh healthy ingredients.

Great lunch vibes!

By Annie A |

Love Couch Tomato for a lunch salad or dinner pizza in the summer, but their soups and sandwiches are must haves during the winter!

Best Spot on Main Street

By Allison P |

Best spot in Manayunk for a quick lunch!! It’s a staple for me on the weekends and weekdays. They have an online app that makes ordering easy, and you can earn rewards.

Don't-Miss Neighborhood Spot

By jeff6 |

Very pleasant neighborhood establishment with frieindly staff, sunny surroundings and, most important, delicious food. We had salads and pizza -- with beer and wine -- and walked away very satisfied!

Amazing

By Rachel K |

This is my favorite place to eat in Philadelphia! The food is so fresh and uses quality ingredients. You can find options for every dietary restriction like vegan options, gluten free, vegetarian and much more. Love this place!

Quick, fresh food

By Julianna G |

My go to is the Holy Chipotle salad and it never disappoints! Always fresh. Amazing, crispy pizza too!

Horrible pizza delivery

By Nicole M |

I was hosting a party last night and a friend recommended ordering pizza from Couch Tomato in Manayunk. We got 3 pizzas, 2 were plain. It came to $90!! And what’s worse is that the pizza was awful. Added $14 for “charges” which I don’t understand. I guess delivery? When the pizza arrived, one of them looked like the box was shook violently. I’ll never order pizza from here again. There are too many other options in the area, this is no competition.

I would go again!

By AmyT |

And again and again... I love visiting new cities and stumbling upon places that I will miss when I leave. This little gem provided the most delicious and satisfying lunch. My son and I both loved our choices. He had the baja sandwich and I had a vegan burger. We shared fries and I also had a house salad, which I saved for dinner. I cannot recommend this place enough. Even with takeout during COVID, it was delicious.

Excelent meal

By PSoTD |

4 friends had different meals, all were delicious. That's all you can ask. We'll be back the next time we go to the Mann.

Comfy and Cute Bistro!

By Julia B |

A couple friends and I visited and it was so yummy! We sat upstairs where there was high table stool seating. Very casual cute. The wait service was very attentive and kind. The food was really good! I wouldn't say the most amazing but it was really good. I would definitely would recommend to friends as well as I'll definitely be going back soon!

Great Food in Manayunk!

By Zoe M |

The Couch Tomato is a perfect pick for any eater! Their menu varies from salad to pizza to sandwiches--anyone can find something they like! I'm eager to get back to The Bistro to try some of their drinks as well as try more items off their menu! I will definitely be stopping back soon!

Cozy atmosphere for all ages!

By Bridget Simmons |

I love going here with college friends and also taking my family when they come to visit! Super cozy atmosphere with great food! The pizza is my favorite!

Healthy, quick, and delicious!

By Liz Anselmo |

Couch Tomato Cafe is my favorite lunch spot! I can count on quick, healthy, and tasty meals--exactly what I want and my body needs!

Great pizza and soup

By Jennifer K |

I enjoy coming to this place if I want quality pizza and tomato soup. The best customer service I have ever experienced. Always impressed with my experience dining here or take out. Highly recommend checking out this place!

My New Hot Spot!!

By Barbara |

The Couch Tomato Café catered our meeting at work. They served Pizza and a salad called, "Food Pyramid" It was so delicious! And that salad was out of this world! It had greens, strawberries, and candied pecans, plus other things. It was so good. All the food at the Couch Tomato are fresh wholesome ingredients. There are many other options that are gluten free too! In the past few weeks I've been ordering from this establishment, trying other things on the menu. Everything I've ordered to date, has been very delicious. And I always pick up my online orders myself. I get nothing but respect and kindness from the workers. Please, just try something on the menu and you will be hooked! They have a forever customer in me!!

Nice and quiet with good food

By justlocal |

Very friendly staff Pizza was great Tempura asparagus was nice appetizer Side salad was tasty Glad we stopped

Best Restaurant in Manayunk

By Kaitlyn B |

My favorite spot in Manayunk!! I have a dairy free and vegetarian diet and they offer the most vegan options of any spots in Manayunk. I am a huge fan of their menu and I love that you can customize your own pizzas, salads, and sandwhiches.

Best restaurant on main street

By Justin B |

Couch tomato is a great spot. Food is so fresh and such a comfortable atmosphere inside the bistro.

INCREDIBLE FOOD

By Janice H |

Food is always so amazing! There are a lot of different food combinations that you must try! They have the best hummus plate!

You won't be disappointed

By David W |

This is our second visit to The Couch Tomato Cafe' & Bistro. We ate an early dinner here on a Saturday afternoon. Whenever we go we try something different but it is hard top pass up the pizza which is a house specialty. It's not a cheap pizzeria like many in Philadelphia, the atmosphere is sophisticated and the food high lever.

Plant-Based Options Galore!

By Emily D |

Just moved to the neighborhood, and Couch Tomato has become my go-to spot for a healthy, tasty meal! I am vegan and I like that there are many great plant-based options including tofu on salads and vegan cheeses on pizza.

Food allergy friendly and tasty!

By Christa P |

Huge fan of this place! We go several times a month. They are very accommodating our many allergies and always are so nice. Highly recommend!

THE MANAYUNK GO TO

By Roving54345106956 |

This is an amazing establishment. Very fresh food and allergy friendly! They have such an extensive menu that they always have what I am craving.

Delicious Fresh Salads

By Brian S |

I ordered the La Fiesta salad and my wife had the Holy Chipotle salad. All of the ingredients were super fresh. The arugula was very tasty along with the Pico and chicken. The made was super ripe and delicious!! These salads are very big and plentiful. The freshest salad I've ever had.

Great Pizza!

By Josh G |

We love their pizza -- even the gluten free crust is great! My in-laws love coming here, and we visit at least once every month or two. Their pasta and beer selection is awesome as well!

Great Food

By Ryan H |

Whether I’ve gotten carry out or dined in, I haven’t had a bad experience. The sandwich’s are great and the pizza is better. Be sure to get the tomato soup as well!

Incredible dairy-free pizza options and beyond

By Philip K |

We were amazed to find a place that offered delicious pizzas made with dairy-free cheese! My wife and son are dairy free, and the margherita pizza with vegan cheese was absolutely as tasty and authentic a pizza as I've had anywhere (with or without dairy). Thrilled to have found this local gem.

Excellent Pizza! Very fresh ingredients!

By Meredith M |

My mom and I came here after a long day because of the great reviews online! I am a total pizza head and the pizza here is so excellent. The cheese is sooo gooey and flavorful. All the ingredients are very fresh. Cannot wait to come back! Cute atmosphere in Manayunk! The staff was very great and friendly!

Awesome Healthy Food Options

By Jess123 |

I love couch tomatoes selection of salads and vegan menu options. The pizza is also great and they have gluten free crust. It's a great place to go to get something different and unique

Food Pyramid Salad & the Garlic Knots are top on the favorite list!

By Izzy S |

We love the salads at the Couch Tomato! They are always fresh and we have never been disappointed! The Food Pyramid is one of our all time favorites and the garlic knots are also a family favorite!!! We have always had great customer service over the past fifteen (15) years of dining at the Manayunk location.

The Best Tomato Soup

By mariapravata3 |

I LOVE their soup and grilled cheese combo. I've ordered it on 90 degree days because its just that good.

Delicious food for any type of diet!!

By benton816 |

A favorite Manayunk place to eat. Love when we find a place that has something for plant based and non-plant based diets!! Build your own pizza and sandwiches are perfect for fussy eaters. so many options for plant based eaters. Great for groups as well -

Great food!!,

By Jordan S |

This is one of my favorite places in Manayunk to eat dinner highly recommend the perky turkey sandwich!! The tomato bisque and grilled cheese is also amazing on a rainy day

Best Pizza in Manayunk

By Brian S |

If I had only 1 word to describe the pizza's at Couch Tomato, I'd use Phenomenal! I had the Buffalo Chicken pizza and it is bursting with flavor. It is one my absolute favorites! As a resident of Manayunk, this is one of my favorite restaurants! Highly recommend!

Love this place!

By nean |

Love this place! I have a gluten allergy and they always have plenty of gluten free options. The food is DELICIOUS! Yummy pizzas and soups and salads. I cannot recommend enough!. Also great customer service - food always comes out on time.

Couch Tomato

My favorite spot in Manayunk and a weekly go-to! Can’t say enough great things about their food. Sandwiches, pizzas, and salads are my favorites.

Good Value- very good food- excellent service

By len |

Interesting menu. Pizza is very good. Excellent for GFree. Reasonable prices. Service was outstanding- highly recommended. Ask for Curly haired kid, Isaac- you won't be disappointed.

Safe place!

By Emily B |

I love this spot! I have allergies to gluten, dairy and nuts and they are extremely accommodating. I feel safe every time I eat there. I got back often. Would recommend.

Highly Recommend

By Jonathan K |

Always a great experience at Couch Tomato Manayunk. They unexpectedly have a solid beer selection. We enjoyed a coach tony pizza, which may have been some of the best pizza I've ever had.

Delicious

By Hammah |

We ordered the tomato soup and cheesy sticks. They were great! They use fresh locally grown ingredients and you can tell!

Great vegan pizza

By Dana O |

Thank you for offering vegan options! The vegan pizza is fresh and the vegetables seem like they came right from the garden. Happy that the Couch Tomato is in Manayunk!

Amazing catering experience

By gabbym1273 |

I used Couch Tomato catering for one of my events and the food was delicious. The ordering process was easy and staff was very friendly and helpful. The quantity of food was more than I expected, was fresh and hot, and had unique options that other restaurants did not have. I will be using Couch Tomato for all of my future catering events!

Good food

By Pat R |

Delicious food and friendly service. Couch tomato is located in a convenient spot, just off Main Street in Manayunk. Nice vibe.

Get the Anchor Cobb!

By Amy L |

I love Couch Tomato! It’s great for salads and highly recommend the Anchor Cobb. It’s my favorite ever! I also love the pizza, it’s priced great and fresh!

Fresh, Independent & Locally Sourced Food

By historytraveler27 |

The Couch Tomato is a great go-to for fresh and locally sourced ingredients. My favorite would have to be the Food Pyramid salad, packed with cucumbers, candied walnuts, strawberries, chicken and choice of greens. Like almost every restaurant, they did experience staffing challenges over the past 2 years which resulted in some visits being less that outstanding. My last few visits have proven they seem to be back on track with more or better trained staff. I think a key factor in my 5 star review is when they get it wrong, they are responsive and do everything they can to make it right. That's sorely missing with a lot of businesses. If you're considering a "chain", definitely instead try Couch Tomato. They also have locations in West Chester and a new one in Conshohocken.

Tasty Bites!

By Tasha M |

I've eaten here a few times with family and friends. Definitely one of the top eateries in the area. The food is fresh, delicious and inexpensive. In the few times I've been here, myself and my friends/ family have had many items on the menu and we've NEVER been disappointed. My friends continue to talk about how great the food is AND they've taken their family and friends there after our visit. Seriously, delish food!!

Best Tomato Soup

By jessica |

Cute little place. The food was great and our server was very sweet. They give you tomato basil soup complimentary and after trying it, I had told my friend we are coming back and ordering that next time. It was the best tomato soup I have had.

Tasty Pizza and Friendly Service

By PhillyGirl34 |

I recently enjoyed the Buffalo Chicken Pizza at Couch Tomato. The house ancho-agave sauce is a must-have for delicious sweet and spicy heat and the sliced celery on top sounds strange at first but adds a really nice crunch. This has been my go-to order for the past few months and I love it. The service in the restaurant is always friendly and pleasant, too. Life in Manayunk is tastier thanks to Couch Tomato!

great place to eat

By lisaand65 |

wonderfull staff and a great place to eat the food was just amazing. everything seems to be fresh ,we were walking around the city and glad we find this gem.

Worth every penny

By massarosj |

By far the best pizza I've had. The sauce has such a better taste than most pizza places, and the pizza is always cooked perfectly. You'll pay for the quality, but it's definitely worth it - every time.

Delicious Date Night

By Maureen F |

My boyfriend and I always go to The Couch Tomato Cafe, but we decided to try the Bistro for Restaurant Week. We loved the Bistro just as much as we love the Cafe! The atmosphere was awesome. You wouldn’t even know the Cafe was downstairs! The staff were great and so was the decor. Best part was the food! The pizza soup rules and so does everything else (just like the cafe). Definitely make a trip if you get the chance.

The Tomato Shack Salad

By Amel O |

Amazing cheesy bread and soup……. I’ll be coming for sure. Thanks

Best Restaurant in Manayunk!

By Audrey Learn |

We absolutely LOVE the couch tomato! 😀🍅Great atmosphere with high quality food, served by a friendly staff. Due to the organic taste, diverse menu, and great craft beer selections, this place has become a staple in Manayunk for my husband and I. We highly recommend trying one of their artisan pizzas & fries.

Unique layout..

By Nishi J |

This is avery nice restaurants with good food; however, I did not like the layout and the seating arrangements. The food is very fresh and good and service pleasant and welcoming.

Good dinner

By Samantha C |

We came with a small group of friends for dinner. We got some pizzas, pasta, and salad. We sat in their upstairs space which was nice and cozy. Everything was very delicious.

Fun college outing

By Jo3773 |

This is a fun place for college students. Sitting upstairs was nice! The food tasted fresh but the garlic bread was disappointing :/ because it was just bread with Meh garlic sauce on the side. But my pizza was great and it offers many full vegan options for my friends!

Decent quick bite

By Daniyal C |

My go to spot - everything is so good, highly recommend. Soups and Caesar salad (I added chicken to it) were delicious!

Wonderful service and atmosphere!

By Kate |

I recently ate lunch at The Couch Tomato Cafe and Bistro. Service, Food, and Atmosphere was all amazing. Our waitress Leanne was very accommodating and helpful while ordering a menu item to meet my dietary needs. The food was a good portion and was all excellent. The atmosphere is very unique and inviting. I would 100% recommend The Couch Tomato Cafe and Bistro to anyone in the Philadelphia area.

Favorite late-night date spot!

By Liz Lanphear |

The Couch Tomato does a good job of including lots of vegetarian options! The upstairs restaurant is dimly lit and beautiful at night making for a romantic date spot. My favorite on their menu are the personal specialty pizzas and the tomato soup! I've been to the downstairs bistro for lunch before and it's a nice and casual spot.

Gluten friendly, great food!

By Ian A |

The Couch Tomato is a favorite of ours in Manayunk. We love the gluten free florentine pizza and the demeter salad! Always very gluten friendly

Good spot to eat

By Marissa W |

The couch tomato's food is fresh and delicious. Customer service is great. You can do takeout, dine in or delivery. Parking can be a challenge.

Favorite place in Manayunk!!! AMAZING for gluten free!!

By Paige Sara |

The Couch Tomato is our favorite restaurant in Manayunk (and now Conshohocken too)! I am gluten free and there are so many options for me - the gluten free sandwiches and the gluten free pizza are the best I have EVER had. The gluten free buffalo chicken pizza is so good it will have you double checking to make sure you got the gluten free kind haha. If you are gluten free, you know this is hard to come by! We love to go to the restaurant to sit down but their take-out is just as good!! I have never had a complaint about this place. Anytime we don't want to cook, we get Couch Tomato and any time we have family visiting we bring them to Couch Tomato!

Great

By Angela K |

Great for dates and groups. Their tomato soup is out of this world. Great salads too. My favorite is the porky pig. Big space too.

Delicious food

By katmasterflash |

The atmosphere is so chill downstairs and so inviting upstairs. Both the Cafe and Bistro have amazing food and wonderful staff! If you haven't eaten here you better get on it!

Best tomato soup

By markjsell |

The tomato soup rocks my socks. I need to try other foods but it's such a classic! The grilled cheese I got with it was a bit too cheesy for me, but that's more personal preference. My gluten-free friend says their gf pizza is great as well!!

Delicious and Comforting

By A P |

I love The Couch Tomato especially the soup and grilled cheese special which is my go-to. The tomato basil soup is so delicious. I frequent a lot here and so does my family. They did miss up an order, but was quick to rectify the problem and also gave me a coupon for my next order. The only issue I have is regarding using my coupon on the online app. It doesn't automatically come off and asks you to fill up the gift card before using it. I'm unsure if anyone else had this issue. Nevertheless, I will very much so still make this my first spot as a treat for local and delicious lunch. The staff is friendly and my food is always ready. Happy Eating Good People

Love this spot!

By Caroline M |

I love this restaurant! Best place for lunch or dinner with so many options. Whether dining in or taking out, the food never disappoints!

Amazing experience!

By Jayla Clark |

I have been coming to The Couch Tomato for years and it just gets better every time! I love trying new things there and everything is always delicious! The staff are all so kind and make every visit all the much more meaningful! I definitely recommend anyone living in or visiting Manayunk to try them out!

Best Gluten Free Pizza

By Vacationer819691 |

i’ve tried many gluten free pizza places and by far this is the best pizza and breadsticks i’ve had since going gluten free. so delicious and the staff was very friendly. I can’t help but want more breadsticks the next night

Great Food and Service

By Elijah W |

They had great food and service. I got the BBQ pizza and it was the best pizza I had had...ever! The employees were very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic dine in or take out spot in Manayunk!

By Erin P |

You can never go wrong with the chipotle chicken soup and cheese bread sticks! Delicious! Service is quick and staff is friendly.

Couch Tomato Cafe and Bistro are two of the best restaurants in Philadelphia (maybe even the entire world)

By Nathaniel D |

The Couch Tomato offers excellent food and service coupled with a fantastic atmosphere that lends itself to comfortable dining. I always bring friends and family here when they come to town, and I don't think I could ever get tired of it. I wish I could eat this food all the time.

Great choice, even if you’re a meat eater

By B E |

Many people love this place because it has a strong veggie / vegan menu, the meat options are just as strong, especially the pulled pork.

Best Lunch spot in manayunk!

By Leah D |

I have been going to couch tomato since I moved to manayunk in 2013 and I love this place. They have so many hearty/healthy options. I go on a weekly basis and my favorite is the what about Cobb. It’s amazing! Consistent every time. Would absolutely recommend!

Best Tomato soup ever!

By Carly J |

This is one of the best grilled cheese and tomato soup combo that I have ever had! Whenever I am in Manayunk I can't resist this soup!

Mhmmm Bop!!!

By Vincent M |

What a treat. Hands down the best treat in Manayunk! Service was great and the food was fabulous. Will be back soon!!!

Maggie our waitress ♥️

By Cynthia |

What a delicious menu full of vegan options! Our waitress, Maggie, was AWESOME! Super friendly and very knowledgeable.

Favorite restaurant!

By Brittany Lewis |

The Couch Tomato is my favorite restaurant in Manayunk. I work up the street and it’s my favorite place to order from. Try the French fries and salads!!! They won’t disappoint!

Best salads ever!!

By dallas s |

What keeps me coming back here is their salads. I’m not a huge salad person to be honest, but they do salads right. Most places give you lots a lettuce and very little toppings, but they give you so much variety! I never knew a salad could be so good. Everything tastes so fresh; the lettuce is crisp, never wilting, the avocado is green, never browning, you can tell everything is prepared when you order it. They’re food makes you feel good too! You never feel sluggish or bloated. Get that Anchor Cobb salad and you can thank me later!!

Endless delicious menu

By Skylar M |

Anything you could ever be craving is on this menu! Super delicious food and good drink selection. Staff is very friendly. It is a fun place to eat as well as there are many people and the energy is high.

Yum

By carrie bachman |

Lovely staff and delicious food! Can’t wait to go back again huge salads and delicious pizzas- full bar and the staff was super friendly!

We love couch!

By Alex M |

Couch Tomato has been a staple for us for a couple of years. Great service and great food! A mainstay of manayunk that we sometimes order from twice a week

Wonderfully fresh ingredients

By Regina H |

Friendly Manayunk salad and pizza spot! The food is out of this world with ample options for folks with dietary or restrictions by choice including dairy free and gluten free choices available every day. Our table ordered personal size pizzas which are larger than you might expect. Salads are fresh! Several iced tea choices which are all unsweetened. Nice cocktail menu as well!

Good for Vegetarians/Vegans, bad for nut-allergy

By partypenguina3 |

I enjoyed my time here! They have great pizza always, but other than that my choices could be a little bit limited because I have a nut allergy and am a vegetarian.

Great food

By Julia S |

The garlic knots at the couch tomato are to die for! I am obsessed and have a hard time not going to pick some up! Great service!

Lovely Atmosphere and Comfort Food!

By Jappmann M |

I absolutely loved my experience at Couch Tomato! It had a lovely ambiance, I felt right at home. The food was so flavorful and tasty, with eye-pleasing presentation! It was a casual and comfortable spot to catch up with friends. I came with a friend and we had a reservation although it didn't seem like we needed one, they were seating people walking in right away! I will be back again!

Best in Manayunk

By Joseph S |

Our favorite place to go out for dinner and takeout. They have the best sandwiches, pizzas, and tomato soup (especially the shooters)!

Food pyramid salad

By Heather B |

I love the food pyramid salad! It’s been one of my favorites for at least a decade. Don’t forget to sign up for the rewards club.

Delicious allergy friendly food

By Sarah K |

We love coming to the Couch Tomato! Our whole family can eat, despite all of our allergies. Gluten and dairy free is eaten by even the non allergic family members.

Saturday lunch

By O J |

Excellent! Isaac our server was very friendly and efficient. Delicious and well presented food. Will definitely come back here.

Reliably good food for all

By D C |

I frequent Couch Tomato but my latest visit was with coworkers for an office lunch. Several people had dietary restrictions (Vegetarian and gluten free) and the couch tomato offered food for everyone.

Best place for lunch and dinner!

By Lexie |

I seriously love everything about The Couch Tomato Cafe! They have the best food and everything is always so fresh, on top of that they have great service. Definitely would recommend it!

Amazing, highly recommend!!

By Patrick B |

Great food, timely service, highly recommend!! I get take out from here all the time! I usually get the holy chipotle salad, and the grilled cheese and tomato bisque combo!

Fav place on Main!

By Jen K |

My boyfriend and I love this place. We would go every day if we could. The happy hour menu is amazing. Our favorite sandwiches are Bada Bing and Chickaletta. Nothing beats the toasted focaccia!!

10/10 experience

By Maggie S |

I went and got take out from here and had a great experience. Food came out fast and was still warm once I brought it home. I ordered the chicken cutlet with sundried tomato sauce and prosciutto and it’s my favorite.

A reliable, comforting culinary experience

By Julio Alicea |

One of my favorite restaurants in all of Philadelphia. I have dined in and picked up takeout. The food is consistently excellent, especially the signature grilled cheese and soup combination. Easily the most comforting and decadent combination of soup and sandwich out there. When dining in, there is a nice bistro area where service is top notch. When getting takeout, the food stays delicious as well. A must-visit restaurant when coming to Manayunk's main street.

Great menu

By Elizabeth T |

Great place for fresh salads and pizza, dine in or take out. Imaginative plates, great deals during Restaurant Week in spring & fall.

Fantastic Location and Food

By Ian M |

Fantastic food, right in the heart of Main Street in Manayunk. The tomato soup shooters were delicious, and the Cajun shrimp salad was even better. Will definitely be returning here!

Favorite Resturant

By Katie D |

My favorite resturant in manayunk! Love the pizza and salad. Recommend the godfather pizza and the pear salad.

Best quick bite in Manayunk

By Blue Kohl |

My favorite place to get weeknight takeout or have a casual lunch with friends! Great options for everyone and I love their gluten free hoagie rolls for the sandwiches. I’ve always gotten great service whether dining in or takeout.

Amazing food!

By Melissa R |

So good!!! The salad options all rock, and the pizza is always fresh and warm! We have been doing takeout and it definitely doesn’t disappoint!

Manayunk Gem

By Walter P |

Cute little place with good food. I like the touchscreens and the 2nd floor layout. I got tomato soup and a sandwich, both of which I would recommend to anyone looking for a quick, hearty meal.

GREAT FOOD, FRIENDLY STAFF

By Ryan Brown |

Food is always good (salads, sandwiches, soups, pizza, and more!) and staff is very friendly. Go here all the time since it's close to the office.

Wonderful Atmosphere & Amazing and Delicious Food

By Maria V |

wonderful atmosphere inside, every menu item is delicious, vegan and gluten-free options are also delicious, offer outdoor seating, sustainable local bistro!!

Always a great trip!

By Katherine W |

Always a fantastic experience. The food and atmosphere are wonderful both upstairs in the bistro and downstairs! My favorite soups and salads in the area.

Wouldn't give it a second chance

By George B |

We were in a hurry so decided to grab a bowl. Wanted to to order the $10.99 Kin-O-Ahh bowl off the menu but could not find it as a choice on the electronic ordering pad. Trying to recreate it on the ordering pad brought the price up to $14.99. So I asked the kid at the register to order it for us. What we got was a bowl full of romaine lettuce and admittedly tasty chicken. Missing were most of the other ingredients specified on the description: specifically quinoa and feta cheese. The portion was big enough for us to share and the chicken was tasty. They have outside picnic tables but they were pretty dirty. We have some great bowl restaurants in Palm Beach County. Couch Tomato's version was a total disappointment.

Couch Tomato-my favorite Philly pizza

By Brenda C |

Warm and cozy environment, staff was helpful to our inability to choose from the pizza selection (all are wonderful) and the pizza is my favorite in Philly- that's saying something, Philly has a lot of pizza. Highly recommend this place for whatever- dates, family get togethers, or, as I often do, ordering pizza delivery as a self-treat.

Restaurant week

By cunninghamp2 |

Went to dinner here for restaurant week and it was definitely worth it. Enjoyed the tomato bisque and the pizza choices! Service was fast as well!

great place

By G A |

Love Couch Tomato! Great happy hour deals and gluten free options. I’ve ordered the godfather pizza and grilled cheese with tomato soup often!

Great place for lunch

By Lester A |

This cozy bistro has a great lunch menu. Personal pizza choices are varied and unusual (and very very tasty). Other menu items looked good, too. Make sure you try the pear and fig pizza with Gorgonzola --it is out of this world.

Cheesy Bread!

By Amanda H |

Best Cheesy Bread! Highly recommend! Order it with the tomato soup! Also has great salads and good happy hour specials!

The Couch Tomato Cafe

By Haley B |

This place is great! Being a vegan with non-vegan friends, I love that their menu has one side that is plant based and one side that is not. The vegan calamari was amazing, the texture was perfect and that sauce on the side! Yum. I can’t wait to get some more.

Simply good food at a great price

By _DianaPrince_1001 |

The Tomato has just been consistently good for *years*. Not many places can say that. Nice selection, good quality food, and it is just as good to go as dining in. Love this place!

Fresh Food - Great Vibe

By Chele T |

I am an absolute fan of the Couch Tomato. As a kid growing up my mom used to make us grilled cheese and Campbell's tomato soup. After having that soup for multiple years I officially became team Chicken Noodle. Never to touch, try, smell, sniff tomato soup ever again was a life's goal. Lo and behold, while at the Couch Tomato on a Thursday night, I was given a sample of the Creamy tomato basil soup. The flavors of this soup are absolutely incredible. That's not the only thing to love there but it is what I relished on my last 2 visits. The atmosphere, along with the nicest wait staff are what makes me return. I chose the Couch Tomato as my finale restaurant for Manayunk's Stroll the Street; that speaks volumes for me.

Great food and service!

By Tabata V |

Since moving into the area this has been our go to place for dinner and lunch and we love it so much that we have taken family here when they come to visit. Our family loves it here. The service was great, the waitresses we had were very kind and attentive. The food is absolutely delicious. They give you a sampler of their tomato soup while you wait for your food which was so rich and creamy. Their salad and pizzas are really good. My favorite is the Cajun Shrimp salad which is always used with fresh ingredients and a homemade dressing. I've also had their pizzas which are filling and come in either wheat, white or gluten free dough. Overall this is a great place for both lunch and dinner and you won't be disappointed.

Birthday dinner

By gcolonna |

I came here for the first time ever for ny birthday dinner. SUCH good food and a great atmosphere. They're also very attentive to food allergies and special dietary needs. I'm on Whole30 and the salmon salad was perfect. I recommend the cheese plate as well!

A must try

By Tuskers |

The Couch Tomato offers meal choices unlike any that I've seen elsewhere. Healthy options, vegetarian options, gluten free options, and beat of all everything was delicious.

Best salads

By Aaron D |

Best salads in Manayunk! Love Couch tomato. Super nice staff. Cannot say enough good about this place. Right off main street.

Amazing Food

By Amanda H |

Great food! Amazing salads. Very affordable! I eat here every week. Delivery is fast and accurate. Always had great customer service if the food isn’t to your liking.

Love this restaurant!

By Theresa C |

My family and I love the pizza, soup, and sandwiches from Couch Tomato. We have been going here for over 10 years and it’s definitely one of our favorites in Manayunk.

THE BEST SALADS IN MANAYUNK!

By Gabriela N |

These salads are some of the best I have ever had! And the portion sizes are extremely generous. Highly recommend this place for take out and for eating out with friends! Staff is very friendly and helpful!

Always great food!

By Melissa R |

always great pizza!!!! Affordable and I love the salads! Super healthy for my needs! Fast pickup and great service!

Fantastic!!!

By Anna V |

Fantastic food! A lot of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. Love the fries so much and their veggie burgers are amazing.

My new go to place in Manayunk!

By Rino S |

We recently moved from center city so we were really spoiled with our food options, but we've found a perfect place for us. I am pretty picky with my food, especially my salads and pizza; it has to be fresh with a lot of flavor, which is exactly what you get at Couch Tomato. You also get a good portion size for the price. I love that you can make your own salad, and that they use local produce. I would highly recommend stopping by this place!

Certified Comfort Food

By Alexandra Z |

The Couch Tomato is one of my go-to restaurants as a resident of Manayunk, with visits almost becoming a weekly tradition at this point. The tomato soup and grilled cheese combo is the best, and the atmosphere is lovely.

Pizza and Breadsticks are the best

By Shifra S |

Love The Couch Tomato. We have been coming here for about 5 years now. We mostly do takeout and the food is excellent. They are known for their pizza but the cheesey breadsticks are the true winner. Highly recommend.

Great Place! You Won’t be disappointed 😁

By Gayle L |

Sweet potato fries were excellent! Great sandwich and burger too. Our server was very attentive. We’ll be sure to come back!

Cute itlalian bistro!!

By Devika G |

I went here with a friend and loved the food and beer! Portion sizes were great and we didn’t even need to get appetizers!

Great service and great quality of food

By Genesis |

My most favorite place to order from. Things are always fresh. They are very serious about dietary needs. The variety in dishes is amazing. I could eat their gluten free cheesy sticks every day.

Great lunch spot

By Diane M |

Such great pizza! Fun, casual spot with great service. Try the Bella Napoli - hot honey drizzle seems odd on pizza, but it is amazing.

Couch tomato review

By GoPlaces32016486067 |

I absolutely love the couch tomato. It is a great break from the dining room at Westchester. I always go with my friends and when my friends come up to visit. They also make for great healthy pictures on my fitness page. I will never stop going to the couch tomato.

Lots of options

By Tamara H |

I always enjoy whatever I get at the cafe or the bistro. I especially like the lunch options. The food is fresh, healthy and there's always something interesting to choose from. There are some nice cocktails as well. I come a few times a year and it's always a good experience. Will be back for sure! I've also had the catering at work a few times and it's great and they always provide extra focaccia :)

Foodies will love this

By Quintez R |

Great Food, good vibes, delightful staff, try everything, soups, pizza and bugers are delicious.

The Perfect Lunch Spot

By Gail W |

We found this gem of a restaurant on Trip Advisor and Yelp. The reviews were wonderful and a real plus:they offer valet parking. It was the perfect half way spot to meet a friend from NJ for lunch. We both enjoyed our meals very much. I had the soup and salad. They were both outstanding. My friend had the lobster sandwich and salad. We were warmly greated and the service was excellent. It’s a must visit. You won’t be disappointed!

Overall Amazing!

By Danielle D |

Even after my first visit, the Couch Tomato was automatically added to my list of favorites! They have a great atmosphere and a variety of menu options that are all delicious. I got the pesto pasta, which was incredible, and my friends got pizzas and burgers. Everyone loved their meal and we can't wait to go back!
