Directions Instagram

All-day Indonesian café with congee, curry soup and frothy milk tea.

Griddle & Rice opened on South 22nd Street in May 2025 doing Indonesian food from morning until close. Egg sandwiches, vegetable curry soup, chicken congee, french toast if you want to hedge.

The drinks are what people come back for, especially the frothy Indonesian milk teas. Coffee and smoothies too, all day.

Top notch. The ayam geprek was superb. Tender smashed chicken dish with a chili-sambal that was sooo spicy and good. Yum. The Es Kopi Susu (espresso, condensed milk and evaporated milk) was also delish. Excited to have been blessed to go here this morning, I’ll be sure to return to try other things

Since they've been open, it's a place I enjoy going to grab a bite in the morning or even lunch and a coffee. Maybe even a sweet treat. I typically get a breakfast sandwich along with a drink, drink varies, and I like that I can choose a drink based on what I am feeling. Be it a coffee or espresso or even a smoothie or tea. It's a simple menu and I'm always in an out in a reasonable time.

I came here twice actually in one week. Weekend definitely will be hard to get seating, unless you willing to be standing somewhere waiting for tables dining really small. I tried bunch of them from their menu and the most I liked was the veggie fritters, breakfast rice platters, meatball soup. The rest like chicken noodles, chicken congee, chicken satay and nutella banana pancakes were ok. Crews was friendly, bathroom is located outside and the dining table typically like food court, Starbucks, cafeteria type where you put away your own dishes on the bin near entrance door and clean yourself your table to sit. So is not like a restaurant with waitresses.

Absolutely love Griddle n Rice!! One of my FAVORITE places in philly to stop by and get matcha. Their hojicha is super good too!! Staff are very friendly even when it's super busy. Food is delicious! I had their ayam geprek (smashed chicken rice) with the spiciest sambal, it really brought the heat. This place is very cozy, I came with a group of 4 and we just had to wait a little for people to be finished eating for a free table. Don't be afraid to ask people for their table if it seems like they're leaving! I also love the special matcha latte drinks that come out during the seasons. Parking is honestly not hard at all, lots of spaces especially in South Philly. Would definitely recommend to a lot if people, I will be back more often when in the area!
