My one star off is for the consistently dry limes and the app never notifying me of on time. The limes provided consistently have no juice and are hard and dried out, but the rest of the bowl was delicious. I ordered through the app and both times my order was definitely ready even before the estimated pickup time, but I didn't get a notification until a whole hour later. Just get to the store by your pickup time regardless of whether it notifies you properly. I also got the seasonal Renee Rapp bowl with some customizations (see pic for details) and it was so good!! Would definitely order again.

I've lived in big cities but hadn't tried hip city veg til coming to Philly!! Ahhhh. This place…read moremade my heart sooo happy as a vegetarian. The entire menu is vegan friendly and tastes incredible. I got a vegan chicken spicy sandwich and sweet potato fries and completely crushed the meal in half an hour because it was so good. I ordered a juice to accompany my meal, it was tart yet sweet. A nice balance. If you have an insatiable sweet tooth like myself, I also would get a milkshake next time. Luckily, my friend let me try hers and as someone with a dairy sensitivity- it was incredible and you can't even tell it's nondairy. this will definitely be my new veggie junk food spot. The vibes are chill it's kind of cafe style. The university city location will have a lot of college students of course being right by UPenn! But if you are open to trying vegetarian foods or are vegan / vegetarian this is worth it. And not badly priced either, my whole meal with tax and tip was roughly $20.

I ordered the classic chicken sandwich, and it was sooo good, delicious--crispy, well-seasoned, and filling. A great option if you want vegan food that still feels indulgent. Thank you!

Love this place! Just visiting for the first time today and it checks all the boxes for me:…read more - Great food! My sandwich had the kick I expected for something styled after a bánh mì. - Coffee served is from Vibrant, my favorite beans in the city. - Parking was ample in the morning. I imagine it might be harder once more folks come to campus for the day, but at this hour it was easy. - TONS of outlets AND wi-fi. - Two self-order kiosks, and a lot of hard-working staff in the back. Honestly I think my only knock is that the lights were a bit too... florescent? But a small price to pay for good food, good coffee, and a good space. Will be back!

My wife and I order from Greek Lady probably once a week, and it's become one of our go-to spots in…read morePhilly. The gyros and Greek salad with chicken are consistently excellent, and the cheesesteak is phenomenal, genuinely one of the best I've had in the city. Both the regular and curly fries are great, the prices are fair, delivery is fast, and the quality is remarkably consistent. A classic Greek grill with a nice dine-in setup too, and an easy place to recommend. Huge fan!

The décor is colorful, stylish, and inviting, while still feeling relaxed enough for just about any occasion. The food is reasonably good, with French-inspired dishes like Steak Frites, which fits the whole Parisian brasserie vibe perfectly. I've come here for a date, met up with friends, and even had a work meeting here...it works surprisingly well for all three. The staff is always friendly and the bar tenders are easy to talk to and know their stuff about drinks. Being right near the Penn and Drexel campus environment gives the restaurant a nice energy without taking away from the upscale feel. Definitely a good option if you're looking for beautiful surroundings, a European-inspired experience, and a versatile place to eat and connect.

The smoothies aren't overly sweet, although the taste of the protein powder in the acai one isn't the best. Ordering is similar to that of Chipotle or other setups like that, where you start at the far end of the counter and move down to the register as they make your salad/wrap/bowl. Inside is very brightly lit and located within walking distance of the university.

I am a HUGE fan of Goldie and will go there whenever I have a chance, which is not often enough…read more Post Penn Relays we were looking for a snack and it was hot out (78 degrees on April 23rd!) so the Goldie tehina shake was the perfect solution. I usually get the falafel salad, tehina shake, and the shwarma spiced fries, but today since it was just a snack I just did the shake and fries. Yummy! I also introduced my sister in law and her husband to Goldie and we each tried a different tehina shake: original, coffee, mint chocolate, all delicious! everything at Goldie is a 5*/5 I just wish I lived closer to a Goldie.

Tofu protein wasn't a bad size, too, but a little dry. Sauces were ok but not what I was looking for (miso was not very flavorful at all, mostly just soy).

Staff were courteous but brisk, keeping the line moving and packing up meals to go. No recycling for the bottles/cans though?

First impression, I stepped in and was hit with fragrant spices, which made me hungry!…read more The service is great, our waitress was very attentive, efficient, and welcoming. She gave us great recs too! The Persian Garden was great. I'm not a big fan of ordering coffee/espresso/lattes but the rose flavor was something I didn't expect to like. The baba ganouj and beetroot tzatziki were both hits for the family. The baba ganouj had the smoky flavor I was looking for and the tzatziki was fresh and light. The pita was thick, soft, and warm, perfect for dipping. The kofta, tuna tartare, and crispy grape leaves weren't too bad. The kofta is quite large and the lamb didn't taste too gamey at all. The arugula and tahini really brightened the flatbread. I enjoyed the tuna tartare but I was looking for more of the tuna flavor. As for the crispy grape leaves, it was a bit like an eggroll but mushy inside. I wasn't the biggest fan of this and tzatziki dipping sauce but that's just me. Finally, the chicken mohammar and grilled kofta were both great! We enjoyed the chicken mohammar much more though. The sauce was smoky and savor while the chicken was extremely tender. The pita was perfect to encapsulate the chicken and soak up the sauce! As for the grilled kofta, we did like the wild rice and lamb. The arugula and onion went great with the lamb. It was a great introduction to mediterranean food for my parents! I'm glad we came here and I'd consider coming back!
