What happened after Food Paradise?

Cafe Lift appeared in the 'Rise and Dine' episode (S13E12), which featured the Philadelphia cafe's all-day brunch service. Cafe Lift operated for about 20 years at an original Callowhill-neighborhood location on 13th Street, according to PhillyVoice and 6abc. Both outlets reported that the cafe relocated to a larger, two-level space at 1124 Spring Garden Street, featuring a separate coffee counter and decor spanning the 1960s through 1980s. A Yelp business listing for the Spring Garden Street address, updated June 2026, shows 2,070 photos and 1,452 reviews and lists the cafe as active there, open daily from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Google Places also lists the business as operational at this address. No dated source found any indication the business has since closed.
