    Outside menu
    Miles A.

    Their menu has lots of quick bites and beverages - think salads, wraps, paninis, and breakfast sandwiches too. Quite a big selection of choices for each with some interesting combinations and classics. Got the havana cubano panini and it was delicious. Good ingredients, meat, and the bread was grilled just right to melt the cheese nicely. Very tasty mustard and jalapeño completed the deal. There are some tables inside and out front, seems like a relaxed spot to read/work or just get breakfast / lunch. Thanks

    A short walk from the hotel I was staying at, I placed an online order for pickup. I took the scenic route walking over but my order was ready when I walked in which was perfect. Quoted 20 minutes and I showed up in 15. Opted for the Eggceptional breakfast sammie and I was impressed that the sandwich was a good size (pictures are always hard to tell). Flavor was solid and the chipotle ketchup added a subtle kick. I'm always happy when a place has matcha and went outside my standard latte and went with the strawberry version with oat milk. Good balance and not too sweet, even with the purée. Would definitely order from here again when I'm in town.

    Hands down the best tuna wrap I have had. Tuna to veggies are balanced into the wrap with a generous portion of sauce inside. Awesome!

    Spicy Chicken Salad Panini

    Their sandwich menu is so extensive and everything looks so good that you will need more than a few minutes to decide what to get. We ended up just getting the spicy chicken sandwich which was oh so delicious! Fresh, quality ingredients and the chicken was flavorful and cooked to perfection. Lots of seating.

    Eggspanola
    Joe S.

    I only ordered Dash from here 2x in row the Eggspanola was good but not amazing wish had more sauce and sort of wish did the Eggiesaurus instead with pork sausage. The Spicy Chicken Salad Panini had light heat but wish I had more sauce for this also, chicken I thought would be cold but came lukewarm with travel was good , the honey suckle latte and crème Caramel Brulee Latte both are good but pricey at $7.50 today was $9 for added expresso shot lol. Yesterdays clam chowder was decent and I think of what I've had so far the chicken Caesar wrap was the best thing but good looking menu and with have to try again some other week lol liked the tortilla chips that came with the wrap easily worth trying

    Chori-crunch

    Food came out fast and was great. Totally recommend eating here. The chori crunch was spicy in a good way. Thank you.

    The amazing hot Italian panini sandwich

    Whoa This was a surprise. Been working in the Old City area for a couple months and decided to find a sandwich shop. I found Cafe Square One less than two blocks away. I ordered through Yelp and my food was ready when I arrived. The shop has some simple but clean seating so I decided to eat there. I may have startled some patrons with my sounds of delight over this sandwich. Damn it was amazingly tasty and delicious! Lots of meat and just the right amount of spice on the hot Italian panini. I may never bring lunch to work again!

    Very well could have been the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. The food was amazing, but the decided is also super delicious. 10/10 would recommend

    Thai salad and mango salad.

    This cafe has excellent unique salads. They have a variety of teas and smoothies as well. We enjoyed it very much!

    Sunrise Sammies
    Nicole N.

    I stopped by Cafe Square One for breakfast and it was a cute little place for a solo meal with small tables. To order, you must use the self checkout tablets and your order will be called out when it is ready. The drinks come out first and then the food order. I ordered the breakfast Sunrise Sammie with a lavender latte. The sandwich came out hot and it was very filling. I enjoyed the latte and felt the taste of lavender was prominent in the drink.

    Spicy Philly Panini
    Shaun T.

    While Christmas shopping I was looking for a place that was quick, a good selection and some seating to recharge and eat! This cafe fits the bill, perfectly. Order at the kiosk and grab a seat in one of the tables. Ordered Spicy Philly Panini which lived up to the billing. Quite a bite of heat with this sandwich of spicy chicken, bacon, avocado and cheese. A big meal for $11. The chicken shawarma wrap is fresh and flavorful. Great cappuccino and cafe Americano. For a quick bite that is quality, you are here!

    Stopped into Nicks on a Tuesday night while in Philly for a work-adjacent trip. Nicks is a nice…read moreunpretentious spot; very local, very neighborhood. We arrived with a party of 7 and no reservation but were seated quickly with no hassle. The bartender appeared to be doubling as the server but took great care of us. The menu and draft beer list aren't extensive but what Nicks does they do well. There were enough selections to accommodate everyone, including a vegetarian member of our party. My waffle fries were to die for. Nicks is a great spot for a solid meal in the heart of Old City Philadelphia.

    I'm sorry I don't have high standards I would normally enjoy any place that treats me well and has…read moregood food and drink, in a nice atmosphere. This place treated me and my company terribly and they turned us away they must be making so much money that they could just be mean to whoever they want. We wasted like an hour of our precious time that night recently. It was 1am Saturday night (technically Sunday). He said last call was done and proceeded to kick us out rather than letting us wait there for our Ubers. However there were tons of other people there and he was fine with that. We were well-mannered and did not deserve to be treated that way. The bartender guy even flicked his middle finger at my best friend who is a gentleman that tried to capture a video of the establishment name and him. So he was brazen and bold to be nasty to us. It could've even been due to the color of our skin, and I am saying this as a patriotic Republican (meaning I do not cry "racism" for everything), but I will call it out as I see it. To prove this is a true review and story I've attached a video of the bartender who flicked us off and you can hear a girl in our group talking about how rude he was.

    I've been meaning to try almost home general for quite some time, now I'm kicking myself that I…read morewaited this long. I had heard alot about their chicken caesar wrap, and as a chicken caesar enthusiast, I had to give it a shot. This was absolutely incredible. Dare I say the best wrap I've had in Philly. Everything was perfectly fresh, the dressing was delicious, and the wrap was perfectly grilled. I went for the truffle fries on the side, they were great as well. Perfectly fried and seasoned. Unfortunately my snickerdoodle latte wasn't the greatest. The flavoring was lovely and was just sweet enough, but the espresso was a bit burnt. Overall this was great, definitely adding to my lunch rotation.

    Food: The bagels themselves were unfortunately very hard and…read morenot entirely enjoyable to eat. That said, the egg, cheese, and fixings were great. It's possible the bagels weren't fresh when we visited (Tuesday morning). I ordered a cereal latte and a mango smoothie. The coffee was fine but not something I'd order again, while the smoothie was really good and something I would recommend. While dining in, the overall presentation felt more like a cafeteria experience than a sit-down café. We were given plastic to-go utensil sets, plastic cups, plastic straws, and our food was served on a baking sheet. The overwhelming use of plastic felt underwhelming for dining in and didn't align with the price point, especially when the average coffee + bagel total exceeds $15. Service: The staff was friendly overall, but not very mindful of professional behavior while working. While the atmosphere is meant to be relaxed, one barista was sitting on the countertops and taking personal calls on speaker, which felt off-putting as a customer. Ambiance: It's a nice open space with great natural lighting and plenty of seating. Overall, it's a good place to work, hang out, and get caffeinated.
