Great food and big portions, my wife got the salted caramel banana stuffed French toast which she loved and I got the chicken and waffles which was a delicious savory option.

Great breakfast resturant with tasty choices and great service. Cash only business and has a atm on-site. They had great looking vegan options too

It is so ridiculous to charge fifty cents for each egg. Not only that, our waitress charged us for extra items we did not receive, in order to receive 18% on tables over $50. Not cool at all.

This place just didn't feel welcoming or accommodating. I asked the outside greeter why she wanted to know if I had eaten here before, and she said it was to make sure I knew it was cash only. Why not just ask us if we know it's cash only? I answered yes to having eaten here before, but it was a long time ago, so why would I remember the cash-only policy? She said that, because I was one person, I should sit at the bar, but there were TONS of open tables, so I told a staff member that my old hips HATE tall bar seats, so they said to take any seat. Then the server complained that they hadn't given me a menu -- why complain to customers about coworkers? I said I would have ordered an alcoholic drink if any of them on the menu were not absurdly sweet, and he said they offer only sweet drinks because that's what their customers want. Dang, I am a customer, and I don't want that. It's a full bar, FFS, so why didn't the server offer to ask the bartender to make something non-sweet for $15. That's $15 extra revenue they lost. Upside: place clean and food ok.

The cash only thing bothered me, but then after being seated being told that we was going to be served with water, it never received it. It’s crazy., food was 6/10, I feel my food should’ve been steaming hot ordering grits , the drinks 10/10

my drink is good and affordable. The plus point here is the service. All the girls are hospitable.

I went here with my family after completing the Philly Marathon and had the Kitchen Sink Skillet. It was sooooo good and exactly what I needed haha. They were very considerate of food allergies and had many vegan options.

Dietary restrictions: The staff was very considerate of food allergies. Also, there were many vegan and vegetarian options available on the menu.

If you're looking for an absolutely indulgent breakfast or brunch in Philadelphia, Green Eggs is the spot! Their sweet breakfast dishes are practically desserts, so come hungry, and plan for a walk through Center City afterward because you will be very full, and probably have a good amount of sugar in your system after a meal here. Our server was a sweetheart, and the staff did a great job of tending to us despite a HUGE Sunday afternoon crowd. We came with two Elementary aged boys this time around - they were extremely satisfied with their brunch, and ate plenty. This wasn't my first trip to this cafe and will certainly not be my last.

Here are some important details you should know about Green Eggs Café before you visit.

First and foremost, the café operates on a cash-only basis, so be sure to bring enough cash with you. If you forget, there is an ATM available inside, but keep in mind that this might add to your wait time. Speaking of wait times, they tend to be quite lengthy due to the café’s immense popularity. It's not uncommon to see a packed dining area, which means the staff is often juggling multiple tables and orders simultaneously.

Despite the hustle and bustle, the staff at Green Eggs Café are attentive and genuinely care about their customers' experiences. If there are any issues with your order, they are usually quick to recognize and resolve them, even amidst the busy environment.

As for the menu, prepare to spend a bit more than you might expect—some items, like the bagel and lox, can run around $20. However, the portions are generous, making them suitable for sharing or for taking leftovers home to enjoy later.

A notable highlight of Green Eggs Café is its variety of vegan options, which cater to diverse dietary preferences and make it an inviting spot for everyone, regardless of their food choices.

To ensure a positive experience, it's advisable to arrive early. If you do, you can avoid some of the rush and take the time to enjoy your meal in a more relaxed setting. Overall, with a little planning, your visit to Green Eggs Café can be quite enjoyable.

Amazing staff who work FAST and are so kind. Poor barista had a whole whipped cream explode on her, so shout out to her. Every meal is 10/10 and HAS VEGAN FRENCH TOAST 😌💕

Was told I’d be waiting 15-20 minutes outside in the cold. Which turned into an hour 15. Watched multiple people get taken out of order. To the point where I spoke with the host who assured me I was next and then she proceeded to take other people back. Food may be good? Not sure because the service was so disappointing and disorganized I ended up leaving and going to the continental across the street who took my group right away.
