Earth Bread + Brewery

Food is always fresh. I love their regular flatbreads. But it is fun to check out specialty breads too. Never disappointed! The beers are great, too.
Friendly customer service. We love to come here with just family or with a bunch of friends.

Disappointed by their small selection of house beers but the cozy bar front and friendly patrons and staff made it an enjoyable experience.

I hesitate to give five starts and cheapen my reviews but I can’t think of a single thing to knock this place for or suggest they improve. My boyfriend and I live near the Art Museum, and we bit off a bit more than we could chew by biking the 10 miles up to Mt. Airy one recent Saturday. We arrived hot and hungry at Earth and were not disappointed. The atmosphere was casual, staff was attentive, and food came out quickly considering they make it to order. We had the smaller size special pizza (8 small slices) with cherry tomatoes, red kale, and balsamic and another reoccurring pizza with turkey sausage which I liked a little better. Our waiter Donald was great. Beer was also tasty and reasonable, and the highlight of my meal was my lime and mint homemade soda. We will be back someday, though maybe not on bikes…

Have been to Earth a few times now, really enjoy the casual vibe here. Went last night with friends and was impressed, as usual.
Ordered a cheese pizza and Cesar salad to share with my daughters. Others ordered the Vegan Thai pizza and another person with us ordered the mushroom pizza. Everything was good.
They have their own list of pre made cocktails (I had a Cosmos; a vodka concoction, tasty!) wine and beer.
The service was friendly and while a little slow, still very good.
Love that they had a Science guy with a table to entertain the littles with us; gooey worm experiment and painting with shaving cream. Fun!

Grabbed a late dinner here on a Thursday. Casual ambience, we ate upstairs which I imagine could be loud if it was full. Nice waitstaff, attentative. We stayed right up to closing and they weren’t trying to rush us out. We had the trio of hummus appetizer which were all delicious and flavorful, my only complaint is that for the amount of hummus (which was generous) there wasn’t enough bread or veggies. I had the Continental flat bread which was sweet and bacony with the slight bitterness/​peppery flavor. Crust was thin and super crisp. Prices and service very reasonable

I’ve only ever been here for breakfast on Sundays, and I’ve only ever eaten their breakfast flatbread. Now it’s one of my favorite things ever. Their mimosas are really good, too.

3.5 Unilocal.Roasted Brussels sprouts, thyme, pumpkin seeds with balsamic reduction flatbread was a delicious vegan option here for me! Hearty and flavorful. A tad limp though (probably because of all of the deliciousness!)
Pomegranate lime sorbet for a tangy, sweet vegan dessert.
Homemade brews for all. Lots to choose from!
Chili sea salt edamame for the table. Love the addition of the chili.
Wheat berry arugula salad and classic Caesar salads to start were decent.
S’mores flatbread for their dessert which they said was amazing
The guys had «The Cave Man» flatbreads. You can imagine what that was like. They liked them.
Causal double date night was a success at Earth Bread & Brewery. Casual, laid back vibes with earthy décor heavy on the wood.
Parking was easy right out front on a Saturday night.
Negatives would be: Service was lacking but I have. A feeling he wasn’t there too long after. He seemed uninterested. And we were seated by the door and freezing every time someone opened it. I believe they did have a curtain, it was just pinned back for some reason. Hmmmm
We would give it another go when in the area, but I’m not sure we would head up from city just for it again.

This place is amazing. I would absolutely come here everyday if I lived near by. The food is off the charts and it’s not something you will find anywhere else. It’s a must try!!!

Good vibes, tasty food and great brews!

Previously lived around the corner from this place. I would frequent often during lunch hours or later at night for drinks with friends. The rustic and earthy feel of the inside is inviting. The menu consists of small appetizers, flatbreads, dips, etc. I have never been disappointed with the food here. The flatbread list contains offerings for both meat and veggie lovers. The draft list is complete with house-​brewed, quality selections. A great option for low key lunch and beers.

To start off, I would just like to agree with the other reviews I have seen on here deriding the absolutely ridiculous cheese plate. For $ 12, especially at a casual place like this, EB+B should be embarrassed to charge so much for a mere ounce of cheese that did not seem to be among the finest ever anyway. AVOID FOR SURE. It leaves QUITE a bad impression when you feel as if the restaurant is being shamelessly cheap.
In fact, any of the appetizers I have had here (including the hummus, other dips, and a beef and carrot soup that had no carrots in it) have been very mediocre, and this is why I have to give the place as a whole a mediocre review. Which is a shame, because I do actually like EB+B and am pleased to have a microbrewery right in the neighborhood. The beer and the flatbreads really are great, particularly the breakfast flatbread they serve at brunch which I fully intend to return for! Nice attractive growlers keep the beer fresh for a long time and are great if you need to bring some quality booze to a party. The house made kombucha is also quite good!
Bottom line: if you go, I suppose you should take some responsibility to order simply what the place specializes in (i.e. beer, flatbreads, and kombucha). That said, EB+B should also do itself a service and seriously revamp and improve its other food options. A gluten free flat bread would also be very good, as my wife’s gluten allergy is a significant reason we don’t go more often than we do, since the kombucha is the only decent «g-​free» thing she can get. Service could also stand to be a bit friendlier/​more polished.

I love the atmosphere and the food here. The seed is my favorite pizza! They are very kind to my young daughters and have worked to accommodate one with various food allergies. Fun for a date night or family night out!

Stopped in here this afternoon after a very long morning of touring East Falls and Germantown. I’d vaguely heard about this place (probably from fellow Unilocalers) and was excited to give it a try.
The downstairs was closed, and a sign pointed us up to the second floor. I was a bit disappointed, because the big pizza oven is on the first floor, and its generally airy, with more natural light. Not a big deal though, and we were seated right away.
We each tried different house-​made brews — I went with the saison and wasn’t super impressed, but it wasn’t bad. It was hard to choose a flatbread, because they all sounded pretty good, but I finally went with The Seed — white garlic sauce, topped with pumpkin and sesame seeds. It was definitely unlike any pizza I’ve ever had — obviously had a very nutty flavor, which was complemented nicely by the garlic. I found myself wishing there was some kind of veggie on there too (maybe even just spinach), so if I ever find myself back I’d probably pay the $ 2 to add it.

Simply known with the name «Earth», Earth Bread & Brewery is centrally located on the historic Mt. Airy of northwest Philly, where they are known for a wide array of beer selections whether it be house brewed beers, brewed onsite or others from their favorite breweries. This is a local pub that supports local agriculture, local breweries and small worldwide producers. Upon entering from Germantown Ave, I was taken aback at how dismal the light was from the outside to the inside of the building. But this gave the pub a very snug feel. The people and the vicinity in itself are quite exuberant. City dwellers and out of towners congregate to this pub after a hard day’s work or to simply chat with friends over intoxicating drinks and fun eateries.
This is a dynamic bar and fills fairly quickly. After signing our lives with our name to the host, my friends, family and I relished on some drinks in hand and waited for our table for 5 at a nicely laid out bar that seats 10. The bartenders are very attentive and will not leave you on empty. I’ve had my helpings of two virgin orange daiquiris which were divine and quenched my thirst after a nice walk and drive around Philly. The hosts will check on everyone on the floor to make sure your names are on the list for a table. Not a space on this vicinity is left unused. Large unframed maps lined the top of the bar and memorabilia’s filled spaces tastefully cultured. While guests muster at the bar, guests also comfortably dined on the first level of the restaurant where flatbreads of all sorts are made fresh according to the time they are ordered. In other words? This is where the magic is made. The dough is hand stretched and baked to order in their hand-​built wood-​fired oven. The aroma is mesmerizing and my stomach is snarling. In my personal preference, I enjoy flatbreads much better than pizza.
After a well worth of a wait, our tables are finally ready for us. We were seated on the second floor where the rest of the guests dined with a substantial amount of space for larger parties. Since our group is all about sharing, we decided on three flatbreads. A couple of family members decided on Earth. Earth consists of their house made tomato sauce, roasted onion, fresh mozzarella garlic olive oil and basil topped with fresh greens, dressed with tomato vinaigrette. Earth is definitely my favorite. I decided on the Curry Pesto. This flatbread is prepared with curry kale pesto, sweet potatoes, raisins, roasted onion, fresh mozzarella, bell peppers, topped with tamarind sauce and cilantro. Lastly, Caveman. For the meat lovers, this one is for you. Caveman is wonderfully fired with tomato sauce, spicy turkey sausage, blackened chicken, pepperoni, bacon, asiago and mozzarella. I love the balance between Earth and Caveman due to the fresh crunchy vegetables and still feeding the carnivore in me. Flatbreads comes in two sizes. A large feeds two and a small size is perfect for one. I’ve decided to also try their lobster bisque and it was okay. I expected at least some pieces of lobster in them besides just a liquid of soup. While the menu is mainly flatbreads, there are options for salads, edamame, house made quiche etc. Don’t be a fool like me and make room for their assorted desserts. If you decide to visit on a weekend, take a gander at their brunch menu. Brunch is served at noon until 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Our server was kind and stayed on top of everything we needed. Our dining experience was very pleasant during the entire duration of our dining experience.
Parking is street and meter. Meters need to be fed until 6pm and Sundays are free. I am looking forward to coming back here to experience more of the pub and to feel the hussle and bussle of this small town.

This place was nothing short of amazing from the service from the bartender to our flat bread pizza. If you’re in the area this place is a must!

I come here all the time and absolutely love it. Nestled in the heart of Mt. Airy on Germantown avenue, this brewpub consistently creates spectacular beer recipes and even guest taps of other interesting local-​ish beer selections. While I wish the menu was a bit more diverse, what it does offer always pleases my taste buds.
Probably the house specialty is their flatbreads, and they look like pizza. Small flatbreads are personal size, while the larger can serve two people (though I recommend two smalls to share so you get more variety). On a recent visit we had the curry pesto flatbread, which was amazing. Topped with the interesting combination of mozzarella, sweet potato, raisins, curry pesto, some other things I can’t remember, and a tamarind sauce, which added a nice acidic kick to the otherwise sweet-​ish dish, was the favorite of the four people at our table. That said, on my many visits, I have yet to try a flatbread I do not like.
Their homemade soups always bring the A-​game as well – and the ingredients in them seem to be as fresh as those used in the rest of the dishes.
The menu is constantly changing (for example, EB&B used to have a delicious duck pizza with cherry jam called the quacker – if you see it, get it, thank me later for the recommendation), but many dishes seem to stay for a while on the menu.
My friends and I often go for brunch after a run on Forbidden Drive on the weekends. Word to the wise – they do not open until noon so plan accordingly.

Head to the second floor bar and dining room. Great house brews and with several to try, you’ll either need to stay a while or make several visits.
The flat breads are a nice compliment to the craft beers on tap. Look for the usuals like the meataterion, traditional and make sure you look for the specials.

Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. They offer creative combinations of toppings and their portion sizes are very large. The pizza dough was hearty, crispy, and flavorful. My extremely tall date and I shared 3 small flatbreads which filled us up:
«Vietnam Veggie» — savory & spicy,
«Hello, Jo» — classic cheese, and
«Continental» — greens, asiago, fig & bacon
and had some brews for a total of $ 40. It’s a good place for families, groups, or dates. Only con is that the wait staff seems mildly confused most of the time of which orders go where.

I really liked this place.
Had the summer flat bread with squash and a bunch of other stuff. Was delicious. Couldn’t get enough.
The Quacker had duck confit and cherries and balsamic (I believe?). This one was good but a tad rich for me. I ate one piece and was perfectly satisfied.
The mac and cheese flatbread was a bit much for me… too heavy.
Salad was a goat cheese balsamic with pecans. Very pedestrian but very good.
Excellent beer list.
Service was on it.
I would recommend this place. Good food for a good price.

I really like this little spot in Mt. Airy, I have been here many times and I couldn’t believe that I didn’t write a review yet. On this visit I decided to bring a friend who enjoys trying all types of brews. I enjoying the different offerings that are the «house brews» and the discounts on Tuesdays for «growlers». What I like about Earth Bread & Brewery is that they have a great wine selection as well.
One thing you don’t want to overlook is the food selections — the Flatbread is usually consistent. This outing I had the «Caveman Flatbread»…OMG — how delicious was this choice. The sausage was smoky and spicy and the rest of the toppings complimented the rest of the flatbread.
The environment is rustic and cozy. The waitstaff are friendly and offer good and prompt service.

Great atmosphere and tasty brews, Earth Bread and Brewery is a great spot for one, two, or 20 people to have a fun night.
We arrived and sat at the bar, and then we were immediately greeted by the bartender who described the menu and the brews.
We had the opportunity to try the four that were house brews, which were all good, but ended up going with one of the guest breweries that they had on tap.
The flatbread menu looked so good, we had to jump on the fig, bacon and arugula choice. It was fabulous, but even better when eaten cold hours later (we took the leftovers home).
Very nice experience.

I’ve been here for dinner twice now, and although the service has been consistently stellar (lovely people!) and you can’t beat the $ 2 kick-​the-​keg deals on Tuesday, the food has been mixed.
1^st visit: a large Earth pizza (tomato sauce, onion, fresh mozz, garlic olive oil, basil, fresh greens) was good and filling (enough for two of us for dinner, although we’re small eaters). It did need a little seasoning, but was decent. NOT the best pizza in Philly, but totally solid.
2^nd visit: we ordered the collard greens & kim chi dip (vegan special) and the cheese plate. The dip was… interesting. Tangy, fermented, vinegary, yummy on the soft bread provided (there were also some veggies included). Healthy! A decent appetizer. But the cheese plate… was incredibly disappointing. $ 12 for three slivers of cheese (I’m not exaggerating when I say it was less than a total of 1 ounce of cheese!), a few grapes, ¹⁄₃ a granny smith apple (not fresh), some weird jam, and a few walnuts. NOT. WORTH. IT. We both left hungry and with our wallets much lighter than expected.
Take home: AVOID THE CHEESE PLATE. The pizza is decent. Some of the stranger sides may be worth checking out.

Delicious, house brewed beers are $ 2 and $ 3 during happy hour– basically the cheapest in town!
I am always down for the flatbread special of the week. Through the Continental — Roasted garlic sauce, crispy bacon, figs, asiago, parm (hold the arugula) is a favorite. Check out the oven on the first floor to watch the pizza action.

Wow. This place is amazing. I came here with friends before a play at the Sedgwick Theater next door. It was almost as good as the show itself, no joke! I love how the menus are taped inside of children’s books.
The beer on tap is really unique and delicious. I ordered Luther’s Rose – in honor of Martin Luther himself – and it was divine! Only in Germantown, am I right?
We also sampled two of the flatbreads, which were both scrumptious. For the record, these are basically like pizza so don’t be surprised by your order. Even the sauce was delicious; it must be homemade. The edamame was surprisingly good as well, for a restaurant that doesn’t have the slightest affiliation to Japanese cuisine. To finish off, we scarfed down the (yummy) house bread pudding five minutes before the show and ran out the door!
I really must say, the service made the experience here. Several waiters stopped by our table, in addition to our original host. They were all friendly and very funny. I felt so at home here, and I can’t wait to return!
