Tradestone Cafe

The venue, appearance, food, and promise of Tradestone is terrific. Unfortunately, the wait and the overall service experience is consistently weak. Always understaffed at peak times, the amazing sandwiches take amazingly long to make. After years of being the singular coffee shop on the lower blocks of Fayette St, the owners either aren't involved enough to notice or believe the the high brow, French-style we'll get get to you when we get to you attitude is right for Conshohocken. Sadly... #Its-a-bit-of-a-fixer-upper

I'm a UPS driver, and the staff frequently offer me a free cup of coffee when I make a delivery there. I've bought pastries from them in the past, which were all excellent, and the chocolates are incredible. The staff is friendly, and I always see people spending time in the cafe socializing, or meeting associates. Great place for breakfast or lunch

I stopped in here for a croissant and cappuccino. The croissant is among the best I've had. The cappuccino was so hot i wondered if it was microwaved. Also i ordered "for here" but was served coffee in a paper cup. For me that ruins the coffee shop ambience. Also slightly rude woman taking and making orders and i paid $10 For what i ordered. It's a very attractive little shop but needs some tweaking to be great.

I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich on a plain bagel toasted. I paid with my card, the cashier proceeded to put on gloves, and began making my order. A minute later, he told me “I forgot we don’t have eggs today. Something happened. That’s why we don’t have eggs.” He offered to make me something else and refund my money. I asked for a plain bagel toasted with cream cheese. Pictured is my plain bagel (NOT TOASTED) with cream cheese. Also, this guy clearly wasn’t properly trained on how to use a knife. I won’t ever be returning to this establishment.

Truly would not recommend Tradestone, at least for breakfast. Ordered two breakfast sandwiches and a coffee. The coffee was average at best, but the food was terrible. Premade "egg" slices reheated in an oven with some sort of standard American "cheese" singles, and meat. One was turkey sauage which was clearly some generic frozen brand reheated. The other bacon, which was decent if not very warm. The bagels were toasted but not particularly warm either. At $6 a pop, I wouldn't have paid $2. You're better off at literally any othet fast food place. On top of bad food, the service stunk. Clearly a new person doing the food prep which you try to give the benefit of the doubt for, but having ordered two standard sandwiches and having one completely different missed is pretty inexcusable. After it was brought to their attention, they made it next up but clearly rushed it and did not offer a single apology. Maybe their lunch food is better, but in an area with lots of options, I'm not sure why I would ever return.
