    Eggceptional
    Cheri S.

    I was looking for a breakfast that I knew would taste good but would be quick so low and behold...I came back here. I don't have much to say except I really enjoyed my food. I even added spinach to my sandwich and there was no issue with it! Plenty of restaurants compromise on food quality because of demand but I'm very grateful that they don't! I didn't love my lemonade but that is a personal preference I think others would enjoy it. I also got a pastry and it was just okay. Overall quick quality place to grab a bite!

    Garden Veggie Wrap
    Shelly V.

    Fresh, colorful, and satisfying with great service and attention to detail. The Garden Veggie Wrap was packed with crisp veggies and a generous portion of hummus & avocado. The Hibiscus Lemonade is refreshing and delicious. Great portion sizes, cost effective, and everything tasted great. Definitely a loyal customer of take out and delivery.

    Chori-crunch $13
    Jo L.

    My new favorite post workout spot. Bagelicious $11 (chive onion cream cheese, arugula, avocado, tomato, red onion, cucumber, sprouts) was a healthy bagel that was filling but did not leave me feeling heavy Chori-crunch $13 (spiced chorizo, scrambled eggs, cheddar, hashbrown, avocado, jalapeno, picked red onion, cilantro, chipotle aioli on brioche bun was delicious! The spice level was good for me. The guy at the table next to mine ordered the same thing. He took a bite and commented to his friend how spicy it was and got up looking for water Rose Blossom Oolong $5.50 (oolong tea with rose and steam milk) was something unique. I crave this from time to time. Wish there was a larger size!

    Cobb Salad
    Christine N.

    First impressions: very cute and cozy. Plenty of seating and well lit. Service was quick and polite. You can order off the kiosk and the food arrived quickly and efficiently and our order was correct The noms: I ordered a chicken salad with the sauce/dressing on the side... and it was very filling and fresh. Perfect serving size and the food was delicious. In Conclusion: would def come here again... the crowd was chill and the food was good. Great spot for causal dining, work lunch, meeting up with friends

    Veggie Cheesesteak
    Lisa S.

    Freakishly good veggie cheesesteak! I only wrote this review to applaud the cheesesteak. It was loaded with ingredients, not messy and full of flavor. It's actually hard to impress me when it comes to a plant-based cheesesteak but Cafe Square One got the job done. I've had other takeout items from here in the past but nothing ever "wowed" me. The inside was clean and there always seems to be people dining in/working at the tables, which is nice because that tells me this place gets a good amount of foot traffic. I ordered on the self service kiosk and my order was ready in about ten minutes. They also provided a reusable bag. Don't sleep on this place!

    This is one of my favorite cafes to get work done and people watch. Everything I've tried from here so far (the butterfly pea lemonade, beetroot latte, and the green goddess breakfast sandwich) have all tasted amazing. Service is fast and welcoming and they keep the seating areas clean and well maintained.

    Choripan
    Felicia Y.

    PHENOMENAL!!!!!! One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had in my life The Choripan was bursting with flavor. It was spicy, salty, and rich. The jammy egg and avocado brought things together with a creaminess. I wish the pickled onions had a bigger punch, but that was minor. I couldn't put this sandwich down as I was eating it. Pictures do not do this justice

    Brown sugar latte & lavender latte
    Monica R.

    Came by for an early bite on Tuesday morning at 7am. It was so convenient to order on a tablet. There were so many variations of breakfast sandwiches and burritos. The bagel bacon sandwich was loaded and the jalapeño and spread gave it a good little kick. I had a brown sugar latte which was really good. The coffee was strong and not at all biter.

    Eggceptional
    Audra H.

    We were visiting Philly not too long ago and we really enjoyed Cafe Square One for a quick grab and go breakfast! The cafe is your typical cafe with a few places to sit inside! I liked that you can order on their kiosks and customize your order to your liking! You don't see that everywhere and for someone who has a lot of food restrictions that was a plus for me! My husband ordered the choripan breakfast sandwich and I ordered the eggceptional breakfast sandwich and both were DELISH! If you like spicy then go with the Choripan! You won't be disappointed. I absolutely loved the house made spicy maple pork sausage in the eggceptional sandwich and the chipotle ketchup was such an amazing addition! Next time we are in town, we are planning to go back and try their lunch sandwiches which look just as delicious!

    My favorite cafe left me disappointed!! I am a regular here (the beef bulgogi wrap is to die for!!) but unfortunately they were out of it today so I decided to explore the rest of the menu. I ordered a Greek wrap and it really lacked flavor. The sauce was lacking and I felt like it needed a little something. Will certainly be going back, but might just stick to my usual order

    Jane H.

    My eggspanola on brioche was good- quite a heavy sandwich with a small kick of spice from the aioli. They are busy and so don't expect handholding or much interaction. It's ordering on a screen. Cute decor and clean interior. Just FYI all pickup/grubhub/uber eats orders are placed on a small shelf in the back corner. I had a pickup order and was waiting awhile for it- I finally managed to get someone's attention to ask about it. I got snapped at that it was back there. Understand people are busy but maybe put a larger sign or put the shelf with pickup orders closer to the front.

    This is a very healthy place to grab a quick meal. The menu is pretty simple in description and options are plentiful. All of the chicken is grilled, the bread is very fresh baked and all of the ingredients are super fresh. The only glitch I found as a first timer was ordering from the touch screens. It seemed like there was too much with not enough directions from the menu. I was glad that it was not too busy so the counter help was able to assist me. Well worth the tip for helping me place my order. The Firey Philly Cheesesteak was absolutely the best thing I have tasted in any Philly in Philly. It is HOT! The Chicken Caesar Wrap was loaded with fresh chicken and lettuce with a sweet Caesar dressing. The Buffalo Chicken salad was huge and very fresh but not as unique as the other food we ordered. I loved that everything was super fresh and the service was very quick. I would definitely return and I want to try the Cuban panini next time.

Love seeing a positive face in the morning! I orders a BEC on sea salt rosemary-- my goto. Bagels were out in ~5 minutes, and it was a delicious bit to eat with coffee later on. The shop here is pick-up only, and on some mornings when I've visited especially in the winter, it's kind of painful to wait inside because it started to get a bit cramped. More just a heads up but not a piece of feedback though since their lot is pretty small. If you're grabbing breakfast in the Rittenhouse area, this is nice option for you! Just know that you'll have to take it to-go and eat it elsewhere.

The everything bagel seasoning was very good but the bagel was mediocre. The bagel was loaded with strawberry cream cheese which had good flavor. The others had regular bagels and had better reviews of the bagels. A couple egg sandwiches were described as being "good" and a plain bagel with cream cheese was given similar review. I'm not sure it's the kind of bagel shop that I would go racing back to at any point but it was decent. A bright light was how good the staff was to work with in terms of being friendly while placing an order. Probably brought this review from a 3 to a 4 based upon the staff interaction.

When I order a bagel,…read moreI'll tell them the type of bagel, whether I want it toasted (always yes for me), the type of cream cheese (scallion vegan cream cheese), and then any additions that I want (usually tomato and onion). When ordering coffee, I'll let them know what I want (drip coffee) with whatever kind of milk (with heavy oat milk enough to change colour) and sweetener (with sugar please). Then you let them know any sides you want. I may or may not be saying it a bit quickly, because I'm half awake, and running on auto pilot, because I've lived in the Northeast for so long. The absolutely delightful lady behind the counter got it all recorded, fired, and sorted as and when it was coming out of my mouth. Confirmed everything, collected my payment, and we kept it pumping. As soon as the coffee was ready, called me over to grab it, because it was chilly and rainy while we waited. When one of the items I was ordering was taking a long time, the staff let me know that the item was taking a while longer than expected to finish cooking. My food came out perfectly done. Also, when they pass you your food, they confirm how many things you're ordering to make sure you get all your stuff. This operation is efficient, fast, and friendly. It's inexpensive for what you're getting. Coffee is excellent. Bagels have that snappy exterior, and chewy insides. Hash browns are crisp and piping hot. Coffee is rich and dark. Genuinely, you can't have any complaints when everything is done just right.

I went to Middle Child a few weeks ago just after 3, only to find it closes at 3. Today I returned, around 1, and there was a good crowd there having lunch. I ordered the Surfer, and the Hash Brown Potatoes. The Surfer is Middle Child's most popular sandwich. It's made on a Ciabatta bun, and has a thick layering of tender, lean, House Turkey breast, with melty Swiss cheese, arugula, blueberry chutney, and Duke's mayo. It's hard to describe just how delicious this sandwich was. My biggest concern was the Ciabatta bun - it's not one of my favorites, as I've found them to be tough and difficult to bite through. My fears were quickly put to rest after the first bite! The bun had a slightly crispy exterior - and when I followed through with my first bite, the tender, soft interior of the Ciabatta was a pleasant surprise. In fact, it complemented the thick savory Turkey, arugula, chutney and mayo! It was one of the best Turkey sandwiches I've had. Now, if that wasn't enough, don't forget, I ordered the Hash Brown Potatoes. It said Hash Browns on the blackboard, see attached picture, but these 'weren't your Mama's hash browns'! They are described online as Latka'd Hash Browns. They are thick crispy squares that combine a potato pancake latke with a hash brown texture. The interior reminded me of my mother's potato kugel, which I still reminisce about. In one word, those fried crispy potato squares were outstanding. It's 'a must try' and goes so well with the Surfer! Last, but not least, the Limeade! It was so refreshing! Not too tart, not too sweet... just right! I'll be returning to Middle Child in the not too distant future!

Blueberry chutney with turkey…read moresounded weird to me at first, like why would you do that, but a few bites in it kind of clicked. Turkey was tender, bread (ciabatta I think?) held together fine even though the sandwich was pretty loaded. Definitely a lean-over-the-plate kind of sandwich, got some chutney on my fingers, but that's kind of expected with a sandwich like this I guess. Also got one of the latke hash browns on the side and that thing didn't last long at all - crispy outside, soft in the middle, I finished it before I was even halfway through my sandwich. Might've been the better item honestly, don't tell the sandwich that.
