Dining in Dilworth Park

Dilworth Park Café

Dilworth Park Café offers a menu of American cuisine, coffee, and more in the heart of Center City. Brûlée Catering's chefs will be featuring seasonal and convenient menu options, including sandwiches, desserts and snacks for the kids.

Starbucks Kiosk

The Starbucks Kiosk is open seven days a week for your morning coffee and grab and go snacks. 

Air Grille Garden

The Air Grille Garden is open seasonally spring through fall, when it gets closed to prepare for the winter season where it becomes part of the Rothman Orthopaedics Cabin. Guests can grab a meal, snack or drinks and relax at the Air Grille Garden.

TD Bank Terrace

Outdoor seating is available for a one-of-a-kind urban dining experience for commuters, residents and visitors in Philadelphia. Seating is also available outdoors on the TD Bank Terrace at Dilworth Park and in the tree groves located around the park.

The business that operates the kiosk at the southern end of Dilworth Park is Brulee Catering. The ten Philadelphians who are employed there are employees of Brulee Catering. Brulee, which is locally based, has a license agreement that enables the cafe to sell Starbucks products, just as sporting goods stores might sell branded team merchandise, but it is neither owned nor controlled by the teams whose merchandise they sell.

At the north end of Dilworth Park, the Dilworth Park Café, also managed by Brulee, sells local Passero’s coffee, giving consumers a choice of brands within the park. Center City District is currently working with a Philadelphia-owned business to open a permanent retail location in the northern cafe building in early summer featuring products exclusively from women- and BIPOC-owned local businesses. At winter and summer markets in Dilworth, the park hosts local merchants and makers.

More than 9 million visitors from all neighborhoods in the city and across the region visited Dilworth Park in 2022 coming to enjoy the fountains, the lawn, free concerts by local Philadelphia artists as well as paid ice skating and roller skating.

Revenue from all these activities and from the cafes helps defray some of the costs of maintaining this public park that is available to all.
