Res Ipsa Cafe is a restaurant and cafe located in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood of Philadelphia. It is a collaboration between the owners of Philadelphia cafe chain ReAnimator Coffee and Tyler Akin, the owner of Philadelphia restaurant Stock.[1]
During the day, Res Ipsa Cafe serves coffee and light food, but after 5:30 serves a dinner menu with primarily Sicilian-inspired dishes.[2] Jason Sheehan, writing for Philadelphia Magazine, gave the restaurant three out of four stars, in part to prevent the restaurant from being overwhelmed by "...a flood of tourists or culinary day-trippers".[3] As is typical for restaurants in Philadelphia, the restaurant is BYOB.[4]
Food and aesthetic[edit]
During the day, Res Ipsa Cafe serves ReAnimator coffee, and a simple breakfast menu including sandwiches and yogurt parfait. The Sicilian dinner menu is primarily seafood and pasta-focused.[1] The dinner menu is served only Wednesday through Sunday, but the cafe is open seven days a week. The restaurant has received praise for its salads.[5]
The restaurant has been referred to as an “all-day [cafe]” similar to Dimes in New York City.[6]
Lawsuit[edit]
The restaurant was sued in August of 2017 by Res Ipsa, an Atlanta-based clothing and accessories company, for trademark infringement. The similarity in name led to the Atlanta company accidentally receiving praise for sandwiches it did not serve on social media. After formally switching the name of the restaurant to "Res Ipsa Cafe" the case was dismissed.[7]
