“Confident saying - anything positive you've read/heard about Green Engine is probably 100% legit. Drinks and pasteries are fantastic. Service is always very good. Been here many times. I'd recommend: hot vanilla latte & a toasted bagel with cashew butter. Sometimes it's hard to find seating...but that's because the place is justifiably popular.“
“This is one of my favorite places to get work done near Penn/Drexel’s campus. The atmosphere is great, with a mix of sunlight and greenery as well as areas that are more removed for a less distracting environment. Would definitely reccomend the food, as well. Especially an egg white and cheese croissant!“
“Just moved into the neighborhood & decided to take a walk. I saw this tucked inside a little shopping center & now I regret it. Should have stuck with Dunkin Donuts bc after eating an everything bagel w/cream cheese from there, I’m addicted. I almost walked back for another one it was that good AND I don’t want to be addicted to another carb. Lol. I more than likely will get my fix tomorrow. Great customer service & very friendly. I have a new bagel place.“
“A great place. Been open many years. Recently on TV for their Anniversary. Sometimes crowded but they are quick and move fast. You can get breakfast sandwiches all day which is a plus. Coffee very good, another plus. Only takes cash, no big deal to me. Grew up in South Philly and local neighborhood places the same. Got scrapple, egg & cheese, bacon, egg & cheese, peppers , egg & cheese. All outstanding. Owner Bruce and his wife working up front, working, greeting and monitoring everything.“
“I've tried Top Hat Coffee Lounge by the UPenn campus, but I'm glad I discovered this new location! It's definitely hidden within a plaza and is situated within the walkway as you exit Saks Fifth Avenue. While the space is small, there is still plenty to order in terms of drinks and several pastries as well. The staff greeted us with a very warm welcome and was patient while we decided on our drinks. My friend and I both ordered oat matcha lattes, which were delicious and tasted like high-quality matcha as we were told :) The added perk is that he did not charge us for substituting our milk with oat milk, so thank you for that!“
“My partner booked Le Cat Cafe for my birthday and it was AWESOME! The staff is super sweet and knowledgeable, able to answer all your questions about the kitties, and helped my partner set up the food and beverage we brought in. There are SO MANY ADORABLE CATS, and I was able to play with/pet/admire all the sweeties. Highly recommend visiting, as they do very important work, between finding kitties their forever homes to TNR work.“
“Delicious food, fresh ingredients, tasty coffee, and friendly service. My husband and I stopped in for our first visit and loved everything we ordered. You can tell they put a lot of care and attention into the quality of the ingredients and the options on the menu. We've officially found our local go-to breakfast spot!“
“Very nice quiet atmosphere. Very peaceful and I loved seeing the daughter and Mom duo. It's was refreshing to see considering I brought my daughter along with me. The Boba my daughter ordered wasn't sweet to her liking, and she was going to add additional sugar, however the owner called my daughter over to fix the drink. It's the little things and this business has it! ❤️“
“Lovely and overlooked restaurant right on the Cynwyd Heritage Trail. Phenomenal veggie ramen and delicious bubble tea. The owners are friendly and accommodating. When I'm under the weather, I get DoorDash to bring me a bowl of the ramen and it's the perfect comfort food.“
“Decided to travel here for an impromptu late lunch last Tuesday. We've been here before because The Landing Kitchen offers so much more than great food and beverage selections. It also is home to such an accessible space overlooking the Schuylkill (skoo-kill) River. It sits across from Manayunk and can be accessed by walking bridge that spans the river. There are walking paths along the river and at The Landing Kitchen outdoor space there is a bocce court, ping pong table, corn hole, a giant Connect 4 game and other items. There is protected dining outside and also propane heaters and a fire pit strategically located. Back to food, my wife enjoyed their signature chicken sandwich and I opted for a bowl of outstanding Chorizo Corn Chowder and the TLK Burger. Chased it down with a Workforce IPA from King of Prussia and it too was an outstanding IPA. The Landing Kitchen also offers wine and cocktails, along with various coffee offerings as well. In season it really gets crazy busy, so now is a great time to pay a visit. They do breakfast sandwiches and other offerings as well. Salads and sides are equally satisfying. Cheers.Vegetarian options: I noticed a number of items that would be the perfect option. Simply check out the changing menu online.Parking: There is a small lot and there is the much larger lot that also services The Landing Kitchen, its more refined sister restaurant, LARK (that sits on the top floor of The Residence Inn that is all part of the complex). We have also dined at Lark while staying at the Residence Inn. It's a win-win.Kid-friendliness: Outdoor games, walking paths and the bridge across to Manayunk which features protected walking lanes. The bridge is basically used by cyclists.Wheelchair accessibility: Getting into inside seating is accessible. To go outdoors I believe you have to go back outside and simply swing around the corner of TLK to the riverside of the property to the outdoor seating and activity area.“
“A true marriage between a coffee shop and cocktail bar. They serve traditional café fare here, as well as signature flavored lattes, craft coffee drinks, and many cocktails with a coffee or tea twist. Every week, there's also a new special on the menu. They also allow guests to bring food, so you can cozy up with a drink and some bites and hang out late into the night (which we have done many times!)Vegetarian options: Almost all drinks are vegetarian, and vegan milk alternatives are available upon request.“
“I work right down the street from Top Hat and when I'm craving a crafted beverage: its SUCH a good choice. It recently had a Vanilla Nitro Cold Brew on special that was just the perfect blend of sweetness, smooth Nitro, and crispness. I would drink iced coffee any day of the week, and I would drink this one in particular every day. I've had the ballsy goat waffle on other trips and its the perfect blend of sweet and savory: balsamic reduction, goat cheese, strawberries: it sounds unusual but its honestly just the right balance. I really want to try more of their items. I will note: they are not cheap. But I think the quality and attention to detail is worth it.“
“I was walking down conshy and I saw this cafe I never been to and decided to went in. The atmosphere was super cute and the owner is very sweet and recommended the brown sugar boba for me. They had tons of pastry and I couldn’t help but to get a few and try their avocado toast! Everything was delicious and definitely coming back. “
“Years ago bought fresh pasta when it was called Springfield Ravioli. Since then another good pasta place opened closer to me(Ridley) so haven't been here in a bit. I was looking for good breakfast sandwich in area. Web search, their name came up multiple times. Got scrapple , egg, cheese & son got red pepper, egg and cheese. Heard coffee was good. The sandwiches were great & quickly made. The coffee was fantastic, among best I've ever had. There were two types, a dark roast and a medium roast called "420". I believe locally roasted.“
“So this place has a lot going for it but it can be better. What's good: - Deserts and pastry's are excellent. - Coffee and barista skills are superior to the other shops in media - styling and layout of the shop is unique, fun, and inviting What needs work : order execution - On two separate visits the quiche was not heated enough and there were cold spots. (They graciously fixed it though) - One time they gave me an oat milk latte instead of a whole milk latte. (Again they fixed it. ) -During yet another visit I waited 10 minutes for a latte...not because they forgot or were busy but because the orders in front of me had to be redone because they were wrong. It's a great place and I hope the owner reads this review to improve the training of the employees.“
“I know this is a coffee shop but don’t sleep on the toasties! Look at that cheese pull. Immaculate, much like the cleanliness level of the shop. The guys that work there are all real stand-up dudes. But definitely get a toastie.Kid-friendliness: Just don’t be obnoxious and bring your entire stroller inside. There’s not room for that. Don’t lie to yourself for the sake of convenience. Not gonna happen.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible but bathroom may be hard to get to when they’re busy due to space limitations“
“Charles is simply AMAZING. If you don’t know about the Garlic Knots, you need to. Salad comes with a Knot or you can order. Everything is fresh and Amazing. Thank you for bringing back delivery. Through third party companies. Thank you for great food, great hours and being great people!“
“Absolutely love it here. Consistently good food, lovely staff, quick service. I recommend getting a croissandwich for salty with any of their pastries for sweet (chocolate almond is a favorite). The owners are often coming up with new flavors to try and cute presentations like the photo I’ll attach from around Christmas. Our go-to for getting a treat in town. I can’t recommend it enough.Vegetarian options: Croissants, croissandwiches , Bahn-mi“
“On my way to the airport and stopped here for a quick breakfast before my flight and long day. I hear that this is the best in town. I also hear that everything is really good. We'll, we'll see.The menu is full of great choices. One caught my eye. Chip beef. I haven't had that in a long time. I thought I'd take a chance. I also ordered some eggs over med. Everything is made fresh. The dish came out pretty quick. The presentation was nice. The flavor of everything was really good, just as the guys next to me said. Seemed like everybody was a regular.This will be my go-to when in town and before flights. The service was good. The prices were nice. The place is old but clean. The ladies who were serving and cooking and prepping were all very nice.Yea, I recommend.“
“My go-to spot for coffee in the neighborhood! Great drinks and food with plenty of vegetarian/vegan options, and the baristas are all super-friendly! Love the inclusion of a community fridge on-site and their recovery-friendly mission. Highly recommend them, and I'm super psyched that they're opening another location closer to me soon!“
“This bakery was recommended as the best place for tres leches cake in the area and it didn't disappoint. I got a neapolitan and it was absolutely delicious! It was so fun to have three different cake flavors in one! I can't wait to go back with my family and sample some “
“Creative, cozy, delicious. Yesterday I had the Thai PB&J, and if it’s available when you go, I highly recommend it. It wasn’t my first time in here. I’ve enjoyed the wonderful, cozy, 90s-coffee-shop-in-a-romcom vibe on several occasions. The service is friendly and relaxed. The coffee is delicious. But it was that sandwich yesterday that made me finally sit down and write this 5-star review. This place is a gem!“
“It’s a small quaint brunch place. I’ve never had anything but the spinach avocado toast. As long as they sell it I will only get this dish…. It’s that good. The toast has gotten smaller and obviously less avocado spread because of this. It was still satisfying. Plated beautifully.“
“Gotta give this sweet cat cafe props for a comfy atmosphere and the support the business gives to its resident feline rescues. Loved the experience of dining here. The food and coffee were all right, but a little on the pricier side. My friends and I split our bill and left at different times, so there was a little confusion about what was already paid. But luckily the paid paper receipt covering my friends' orders was discovered, otherwise I would've been stuck paying their bill. This hiccup occurred largely because the bill is paid at the front counter, and it would've been troublesome if the paper receipt was lost in the shuffle had the cafe been busier. Tip: Make sure to tell the server ahead of time who exactly is in your party and how you want the bill split to avoid any confusion. Without a digital system, it can be a little hard to split bills later, especially if people leave at different times.“
“I love this atmosphere, and the people working with Felicia (she is wonderful)!The food is what I had been craving for since I have been shopping and walking for exercise there. All the dishes I have ordered are spectacular and Felicia!'s touch on everything! What a hard worker...my hats off to you and your family there!“
“Straight up hidden gem in a random regular person neighborhood - makes you feel like you found your own secret to stumble upon this place.Pastries were to die for and priced right. Had to be just about the best lavender latte we ever had too. ☕️“
“Giving this spot 5 stars across the board because I have no complaints and I absolutely love the vibe here. My drinks were good, however I did not get any food the three times I've been. The matcha latte was excellent and I really enjoyed the mocha latte!“
“I stopped here with my kids over the summer & was surprisingly refreshed at how fresh the ice cream was. I wanted ice cream this past weekend & told my husband he should try this place. I got him a cookie monster milkshake & he was blown away at how tasty it was. I got ice cream with a waffle that was made fresh & we enjoyed that so much too“
“I’m so impressed how they recently upgraded the quality of items from good to great! I’ve had multiple croissants that were delicious with amazing lamination and an almond tart that was also amazing. Bread is excellent quality. All well priced too!“
“The best breakfast I've ever had! The Vegan Blueberry Pancake OMG!!! I could literally have this every day - can't wait to go back and try more of their dishes. Cute place, wonderful service!Vegetarian options: SO happy I could be a vegan and eat there!“
“No dine in, takeout only with a few outside tables. The bahn mi and the pho were yummy! We will order from there again. The fried pork dumplings were divine! I could have eaten 10 of them. The spring rolls had huge leaves of mint or Thai basil in them and it was way too much. Not sure if that is the traditional way to make them or what but I’ve never had a spring roll that tasted like that before. I couldn’t finish.“
“I’ve been meaning to try this place for awhile and I’m glad I stopped in! Very friendly and accommodating staff and the owner was so welcoming and kind. He spent the time to greet my baby and me and even made a complimentary Greek yogurt and fruit dish for my baby. The food was so fresh and delicious. The coffee was very good as well. Felt like a small town cafe. Will be coming back every time I’m in the area! I hope they open another restaurant in Delaware County.“
“Great locally owned coffee and plant shop! Seating is limited in the main area near all the plants, however, there is an upstairs with more seating but limited wall-plug space for charging devices if you plan on staying for a while. Coffee was also a bit pricy for the quality of the coffee.“
“We finally visited our friend, Daniela, at Merenda Box. Her Brazilian treats, both savory and sweet, are amazing!The Queijo Waffle-wich (a breakfast sandwich on a GF cheesy waffle) was my favorite! But honestly, we all loved everything! And trust me when I say we tried it ALL!!Local friends, if you’re in Conshy, you MUST check out Merenda Box!!“
“Yesterday morning, I stopped here for breakfast after seeing they offer vegan options on Happy Cow, and it hit the spot. The cafe was clean and organized. The staff were very friendly and fun, and even though there were several guests before me, I didn’t have to wait long. They have plenty of outdoor seating and a few tables inside. I got a spiced coffee with oat milk which was really tasty, and a vegan Philly muffin breakfast sandwich with hummus. I was very satisfied with the amount of food I received and the flavors. The everything Philly muffin is the way to go! I decided to grab a vegan scone on the way out which made for a delicious fika in a nearby park later. Will happily return!Vegetarian options: Can’t say much for vegetarians, but there are definitely enjoyable vegan options. Tofutti cream cheese or hummus for sandwiches, all the plant milks, and vegan baked goods.“
“Buna Cafe is such a gem in the neighborhood. I’ve not had a chance to dine in yet, but their food via delivery has been outstanding. It’s always well-presented and carefully packaged, which just isn’t the case for all food deliveries. I’ve tried a number of the vegan sides, but I’ve found my groove with the veg platter, and it just makes me so happy! The shiro is amazing—smooth and creamy and so flavorful! I sometimes get it as a side in addition to the platter to have some to enjoy the next day. Definitely worth a visit or placing an order!“
“Gong cha is solidly okay boba - nothing to write home about but their tapioca is a good texture of chewy but not to chewy. The teas are too sweet for me at regular sweetness, so I recommend getting 50% sugar (regular is 75%). The service at this location is and a drink will average $7-8 with tax. They share the space with a to-go sushi restaurant and have a few tables inside, so you can grab dinner and a drink and sit and eat.“
“Loved visiting this cute Philadelphia themed coffee shop. The drinks are creative and delicious, and the service is wonderful. The patio outside was cozy and I enjoyed reading my book with my coffee. I'll have to go back to try the food.“
“Good Afternoon Google Family. This is my first time visiting the Painted Tea Cup. My sister friend, Cara, invited me for a Multiple Sclerosis fundraiser. I arrived late and I was seated in the last available seat. A lot of members from my church, Holy Cross, were there. Cara had a lot of door prizes which was a lot of fun. The fundraiser was $50.00 to attend. I counted about thirty two people. The tea was delicious, harvest peach and a wedding cooler. I asked for decaf. The event was about 2 hours long and I left in about 45 minutes. I was concerned about parking in my block. God is good, I received a spot in front of my door. I would patronize the Painted Tea Cup again. Good night Google Family!!!!Parking: There is parking here in a parking lot but if you park towards the back and you want to leave early, forget it. You will have to wait until the other people behind you leave. I suggest parking on the street and this way this can be avoided.“
“The food is so good. This was my first time trying this place and I will definitely be back regularly. The restaurant is larger than it looks from outside, there is plenty of seating and parking was not a problem. I ordered the chicken shawarma platter and the baklava cheesecake. Do yourself a favor and order 2 of the baklava cheesecakes. I regretted only ordering one when I got home.“
“This place was fantastic! Super chill vibes, friendly staff, and amazing board game selection with someone there to help select a game specific to what you’re looking for. Aside from that, the menu offers both vegan and gluten free options, as well as a large selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, to accommodate everyone’s needs/preferences. Will definitely be returning!“
“Tiny store yes, but good food and my tea was great! A little bit of a wait but that is to be expected. Staff were friendly. I wish I had checked out the upstairs but the stairs must be by the entrance and kinda hidden. A good place for studying, I'll likely become a regular. Free wifi, there are outlets for charging things. Def the kind of cafe that makes you wanna get work done (in my opinion). Note: Parking is mostly via a parking lot across the street and you have to pay for it but it wasn't too pricey (mine was $1 for like 2 hours?)“
“The food is so inexpensive yet delicious. The breakfast sandwiches are always good and the chicken nuggets are amazing. The vanilla filled donuts are a favorite as well, very fresh. They made a mistake on our order once and we went back and they fixed it no problem. Highly recommend, it's a great little shop!“
“The crepes are great, and there are plenty of good vegetarian savory options, especially looking at the build your own option. The side salad is a highlight! We also tried the French toast crepe, which has an egg incorporated into the batter. Interesting. The espresso is good but the cappuccino is weird; they don't pour the milk through the crema at all, so it's mostly foam on top of a single shot. It can be folded through but I think next time I'd just get an espresso here. I really like that they have reusable cutlery and crockery, and service is brisk even when they're crowded. They also have a bunch of pastries if you're looking to grab and go. No parking lot but free street parking up to two hours. Friendly staff.“
“Very nice atmosphere, friendly baristas and reasonable wait time. Only disappointment was there was no dark roast options available. The coffee I had was good, but not good enough to buy a bag to take home. Maybe I just came at the wrong time?“
“This is a cute little cafe tucked in one of the streets of Chestnut Hill! All the staff was very friendly and the person ringing us up was very patient with us. The inside of the cafe has a very cozy atmosphere and it would be a great place to meet up with a friend or do some work! I ordered the black forest latte and a mozzarella croissant and both were super good! I highly recommend this place!“
“The caramel black salt latte is good, and it is a drink I would recommend if you’re here, but it isn’t something I would come back forThe baristas are friendly and nice, and the service is quickVegetarian options: Vegetarian options are available“
“I am so glad this place exists! The food is delicious.I almost gave 4 stars only because I was disappointed that they didn't have any weekend brunch items like pancakes, French toast, or home fries.I had their breakfast sandwich and my husband had the fig and brie sandwich. Both were DELICIOUS. Their mocha was 10/10. It was soooooo good. I will definitely be coming back here again and again!“
“SERIOUSLY good espresso on Penn’s campus. I take my espresso very seriously and this place does too. The baristas prep the espresso really well and the lattes, cortados, and cappuccinos are smooth, delicious, and flavorful. I recommend every coffee lover come here for a good drink and studying. I personally rank this among my favorites in the Ucity area.“
“Everything we tried was perfectly baked and utterly delicious. Had a variety of pastries including the best sellers : almond croissant, strawberry crème croissant. My favorite was the Greek yogurt & cherry. Can’t wait to explore more flavors and other offerings….“
