Came here for the first time with a friend just to eat some breakfast. When we walked in, I realized how packed this place was so I figured we were just gonna have to wait for a few minutes for a table to finally open up, then we were taking upstairs where there is additional seating as well along with outside seating if it wasn't snowing. So we were seated, and then we proceeded to ask a few questions before we ordered our drinks, and main entrée. The main entrée was delicious, I had the "kitchen sink" and it was extremely flavorful. I can definitely say the portions are huge as well so it's best to come hungry hungry! My partner enjoyed their meal as well and we were so full that we didn't even get to bite too much into the peach cobbler, but just from a few bites that we took that was delicious! If I'm ever back in the area, I would definitely stop by again to eat here and try other options. read more

NEVER AGAIN! Let me start with the SERVICE FEE! This place charges an EXTRA 18% FEE before I even give a tip?! I asked the waitress about this, and she said: "Yeah, it goes to the bussers and kitchen staff. The rest goes directly to me." THE REST? THE REST OF WHAT?!?! You've already charged me an 18% gratuity! I felt bad because our waitress was friendly, and did a decent job, despite the fact that this place is a bit understaffed on a Monday afternoon. So, even though our waters were NEVER REFILLED and my iced tea was NEVER REFILLED, I gave a 20% tip... YES, ON TOP OF THE 18%, which now means I've paid a 38% gratuity on a $50 brunch, bring it to $74! Maybe I'm the sucker. Too nice. BUT NEVER AGAIN! But let's talk about the food, shall we...? I haven't been to this chain for a while, so maybe it has fallen off slightly, or maybe the flavors are no longer novel for me, but let's start with the... STREAK & EGGS (2/5) The menu literally says "YOU CAN'T ORDER YOUR STEAK WELL DONE," so my partner orders the steak medium rare. Guess at what temperature it came out? WELL-DONE. WTF?!?! First, why is this even a rule if your kitchen staff can't cook a steak to proper temperature. Not to mention, they didn't rest the steak before slicing and plating, so by the time my partner started eating, meat juices were pooling at the bottom of the plate, mixing with the already soggy sautéed spinach. Halfway through her meal, she was basically eating a breakfast stew! We should've sent it back! CHICKEN BENEDICT (3/5) This dish comes with a HALF WAFFLE. I asked if I could have the other half of my waffle. The waitress said no. NO? I'm sorry, you can't charge me a little extra for me to get my whole waffle? "You half to order the Chicken & Waffles to get the whole waffle," said the waitress. So, it seems the restaurant doesn't want to make this money by giving me a whole waffle? WTF?!?! What's with all of these arbitrary rules? Just charge me extra for the other half my waffle! This is ridiculous! What's more, every time I bit into my chicken the texture of the breading reminded me of fried notebook paper. There was literally a moment I had to check to make sure I wasn't eating some kind of paper wrapper or something. The flavor was still okay, but the texture? Not great. CHEESE GRITS (3/5) The silver lining is that I really didn't need the other half of the waffle; after eating some of my cheese grits side, I was full. I think the grits tasted like I remember -- still good -- but they seemed remarkably under-seasoned. I don't remember having to add so much of my own salt and pepper last time. So, add this all together with the SERVICE FEE SCAM, and I'm done. Never coming here again. Not worth it. AND PAY YOUR KITCHEN STAFF! read more

Giving it one star for the service being nice & friendly. However, the flavors of the meal itself were terrible and the worst I've ever had. Unfortunately everything we ordered was a MISS. It was either too sweet or too salty; and unfortunately even though the service was decent, I couldn't look past it. I truly have not had a disappointing meal like this in forever. For drinks, we got the caramel latte and the honey lavender latte. Both were insanelyyyyyy sweet, it felt like diabetes in a cup. We ended up not even finishing half of the lattes... disappointing Onto the food. We got the pernil eggs Benedict and kitchen sink. Both would honestly be fine however it was SOOOOOO SALTY. I feel like my sodium levels were going thru the roof and I could instantly feel a headache forming. I do not think the cooks are tasting their food as they're making it - the seasoning on the food was wayyyyyy too salty for consumption. Overall just so disappointed because I do see the potential. They have a fun menu with cool options but they need to taste their food because it was just unenjoyable. The technique was there - pernil was tender, poached egg was cooked well, hash browns were crispy BUT the overwhelming amount of salt on the dish was unacceptable and completely ruined it. I felt like the entire meal was a waste of money. I'd feel healthier and more satisfied eating breakfast at a fast food joint. I will not be returning unfortunately. read more

Five stars for the patient server , three stars for the food. We had a party of five and our one friend miscalculated how far she parked from the restaurant- we had the table for about 40 min before my friend showed up. The server was so nice- mind you, this was a Sunday at brunch. I felt so so bad. I ordered an omelette with gluten free toast. I didn't expect that the cheese was going to be on top of the omelette- and I supposed I shouldn't have assumed. Moving forward, I'll need to ask if the cheese is inside or outside of the omelette. Can't wait to try their French toast when I'm no longer gluten free! read more

Been coming here for over a year now hands down one of the best breakfast spots in have visited food is Amazing & they sure are not cheap with the quantity I can't never finish it and the presentation speaks for itself The staff is amazing they make you feel at home & super friendly read more

Although it's a chain breakfast brunch place, I do like their philosophy - locally sourced, fresh and organic as much as possible. Eggs are big, coffee is brewed fresh, as many cups as you want, bacon is thick and crunchy, I prefer dry over greasy. Probably can accommodate large parties if you sit on several tables but overall it's a medium sized place. Big windows. Parking is pretty easy to find in the neighborhood and it's free for 2 hrs. Great service! If you want your crème brûlée latte less sugary they can accommodate! read more

Our very first time here! The french toast trio was absolutely amazing!!! Cookie Dough was my favorite ! Super delicious ! The best choice! The red velvet pancakes were huge and they were good! My avocado platter was great, I just needed there more than 2 toasts for all the food! The waffles and chicken also good! All the places were really big! But the winner is the french toast no doubt !!! It is only cash, I didn't know, but luckily I had some cash and there was an ATM machine. We parked kind of far, but then we found a spot at the door and we changed our car. Super recommend ! The place is cozy and welcoming ! Great customer service. read more

This green eggs cafe is located on one of the main arteries of fishtown. The sign on the front of the building can be misleading because not only does it have the green eggs cafe sign but also two other signs mentioning a pizza place which no longer exists. On another note, I came here for a to go order on a weekday morning. I had been eyeing the crème brûlée French toast and finally got the opportunity to order it. During my pick up, they confirmed that the establishment was cash only. There was a good amount of people there for a weekday breakfast/brunch. Fifteen minutes after my order, I got my order and went on to enjoy my French toast. The portion was huge and it matched my expectations of deliciousness. So I was overall happy. read more

We went to green eggs around 12 on Sunday, and had no wait! We were seated immediately and our food and drinks came out fast. I was very surprised because it was busy in the restaurant, but they were on top of it! The food is always delicious here. We had to share the French toast trio, the cookie dough French toast is my favorite. The kitchen sink is absolutely amazing and gives you about 3 meals. My dad really enjoyed his short rib Benedict, the hash brown on the bottom instead of English muffin was really good. Their chicken and waffles are just good. They have so many amazing things on their menu, this wouldn't be my go-to item, and my boyfriend agreed. Overall, we had a nice time, enjoyed the fast service, atmosphere, and our food. read more

I don't usually travel on this side of town, but I needed to take care of some business. Walked right past Green Eggs Cafe a thought "let's go in for some brunch!". This was our first time here, and I didn't know what to expect. We were seated right away. It has an airy feel about the place. The waiter was very friendly and gave us time to order. The menu has a lot of great things to choose from. My daughter decided on the Vegan Creme Brulee French Toast. It was huge! Challah bread dipped in vanilla bean custard topped with a Berry compote, fresh berries w/ maple syrup. My husband ordered the " Kitchen Sink." This was also huge, which is 3 eggs, sausage crumbles, gyureye cheese, potatoes, onions, and sausage gravy on a large biscuit in an iron skillet. He brought what he couldn't eat home for 2 more meals! He said it was delicious as well! I think the name fits the dish! I decided on the Shrimp & Grits. It comes with 2 eggs (anyway you like), 5 shrimps, and cheesy grits. The grits were nice, thick and cheesy. They could have made it a even 6 shrimps, but.... ok! They were still delicious. I had enough to bring home for another meal. For drinks, we got a Pineapple breeze and a iced salted caramel mocha coffee. I must say all the food and drinks had a beautiful presentation and were equally as good. Service was great, and I would definitely go back to Green Eggs Cafe if I'm ever on that side of town! P.S. It's cash only!!!! read more

Such an enjoyable mid week brunch here! I met friends around 9 am. Plenty of tables were available. A much more relaxed, uncrowded atmosphere than the weekends!! If you go on the weekend, plan on a wait. The room is large with big windows so there's lots of natural light. Our server and other staff wore masks. The staff is friendly. Our server was efficient, checked on us and was pleasant. The food never disappoints here. My friend had the shrimp and grits. The shrimp was cooked perfectly while the grits were creamy and cheesy. The crème brûlée French Toast is soooo good! It is thick slices in a creamy vanilla sauce with lots of berries. Syrup and a scoop of butter too it off. The portions are large. We all took home a doggie bag. I walked out without my doggie bag but our server had it put aside. I was glad she didn't trash it! read more

We don't get out for breakfast much because life is so busy but when I asked about going this morning and he said ok you pick I knew where I wanted to go. I had to wait a half an hour for them to open but it was worth it. I just went with the original eggs Benedict which was amazing. The hollandaise was so good and a little lemony the way I like it. I also got a virgin bloody. The other half surprised me and also just went plain Jane today with scrambled eggs, cheese grits l, sausage and white toast. We didn't order anything crazy but still loved our breakfast and service. I took half of mine home for my lunch. The breakfast potatoes that came with mine are so good. read more

I absolutely love this popular brunch spot. There is usually a long wait time because of its popularity. Today, the traffic wasn't too bad... perhaps everyone is down at the shore? Not sure, but my party of 6 was very happy! We were promptly seated, given menus, and received water. The menu is well created, sweets, savory, drinks. I've had the chicken & waffles Benedict and the Banana French toast already - fabulous! This time around I tasted the crème brûlée French toast and the steak and eggs - I don't think you can possibly go wrong with any of the options. Keep in mind this place is cash (though they do have an ATM. Any bill over $50 automatically adds 18% gratuity that will go to staff. read more

I went to Green Eggs Cafe for my birthday breakfast. The most frustrating part of this whole trip was struggling to find a place to park any time I went out to eat...or do anything...in Philly. This place was no different, but I did eventually find a place to park a couple of blocks away, (there were other meals I had to skip due to a lack of parking on this trip, and yes, more than once) so be prepared for this problem, as I did not expect it to be so bad. When you come up to the door, it may be a little confusing. There is a sign that reads Green Eggs Cafe on the left over the windows, but over the door to the right, it says Medusa. I wondered for a moment if I was in the right place. Maybe Green Eggs is breakfast and Medusa is dinner? There was the nicest male server walking around and filling up drinks, delivering food and helping out. He wasn't my main server, but he was my favourite. I can tell you right now that no woman, especially one over the age of 40, likes being called ma'am. This server called me Miss. I've had other persons working in service do this, and it makes me like them immediately. Take a tip...calling us ma'am makes us feel old. I tipped him as well as my server for this and the fact that he delivered EXCELLENT service...wish I knew his name. I can't find my receipt but my server was a blonde female and she was excellent as well. The service is very good here. I didn't have to wait long for anything. And just as a tip, this place only takes CASH. There is an ATM if you are primarily a card user like me. The inside of the restaurant is really cute. Lots of windows and light...because most humans like that sort of thing, lol. There were these black and red (my favourite colour combination) jellyfish on the front bar, cute. There was wood stacked up at the back, coffee for sale behind the counter and the tables and chairs were comfortable. The mimosa was beautiful. This is from the menu: PINEAPPLE BREEZE prosecco, malibu rum, pineapple juice, sugar rim, and grenadine Delicious. I was disappointed because I wanted to try the CHICKEN CHILAQUILES I had seen online (must research my restaurants in advance due to my gluten intolerance). Turns out it was a temporary item. Too bad. Instead, I ordered the shrimp and grits which was clearly marked on the menu as Gluten-free. I love restaurants that do this on their menu. In fact, if they don't, most of the time I just pass them by. The grits were NOLA good, yes, that good. And the shrimp were perfectly cooked. but the spicy sauce that came on the side was out of this world. The breakfast was a fair portion for the price, delicious, spicy and filling. I didn't leave hungry for sure. And that drink is now in my top ten. Clean restaurant and bathrooms. Delicious food that you can tell was made with care. A server (speaking of the male) who is in tune with women and empathetic. I did tell him it was my 54th birthday and I very much appreciated him calling me Miss. It really was an extra treat. I very much recommend this place. If you can find parking in those narrow streets surrounding, you will enjoy your breakfast. A fine birthday breakfast indeed. read more

Will I ever choose a brunch option other than some version of an eggs benny? Who knows... Green Eggs gets a 10/10 for me.

First time stopping by this location as I've dined at two others and I loved how much more space this place had. I didn't feel crapped up although the tables are really small but it's like that at all the locations. We went for the French toast special which was soooo good I loved each and every flavor they brought out. I had the potatoes and oatmeal and those were really good, I like that you can add up to three toppings now. My boyfriend had the kitchen sink which he raved about. Also, this is the first location I've been to that served liquor so we did try the mimosas which were as expected. Overall everything was great, I think I'm going to come to this location for now on and there was no wait at the door 9/10. read more

Randomly decided to go have brunch, and saw this place had some space available. Great breakfast. The cheesy hash brown is nice and crispy on the outside while the potatoes and cheesy inside is still a bit gooey. The Benedict was good, but would have liked more Hollandaise sauce. I'm a horseradish person and the BBQ Bloody Mary had a great amount in it but had a nice hint of bbq. The burrito was ok. Felt like it was missing something. read more

Birthday brunch for my girl friend's Mom. Hadn't been to this location. Parking: residential 2 hour parking. Atmosphere: open and noisy. They have outdoor seating on the rooftop with umbrellas. Service: wait time was 30 minutes but there were benches outside. Our server was average. She took our order and checked on us. Drinks: margarita and pitcher of peach passion bellini. The bellini lacked flavor. Didn't taste much passion fruit. Tasted the champagne. Would have liked to taste more of the fruit. Food: Brisket sandwich- meat was tender but lacked flavor. Left me wanting more. Didn't taste the horseradish. Mac n cheese- no flavor at all and cheese Didn't stick to the pasta, too loose; salt and pepper couldn't even bring it to life. Shrimp and grits- tasted good. Addon: there's a service fee on tables with bills more than $50 whyyyyy? Couldn't figure that one out. Please explain Green Eggs. Overall i like this location. I may come back to try something different. Not sure if I'll spend less than $50. Enjoy read more

I was in town for a hot minute and I just had to have brunch at my favorite breakfast spots with one of my favorite people! This was our first time at this location on Gaul st. I'm usually at the 2nd street location. I like that it was a little more spacious than 2nd st. and I enjoyed watching them make food right by our table. Now to get to the good part, the crème brûlée is hands down my favorite French toast here, and I love their pork bacon and they always make my scramble eggs with cheese just the way I like it! Chris said that his French toast was really good but, it had a little too much of the strawberry cream for him. Other than that, we had a great breakfast. A few tips; it's cash only and they have an atm machine inside. It's street parking so good luck on a busy day ( we caught an Uber) and they close at 3 during the week. read more

My husband enjoyed his food here so much that we ate here twice during our stay. The portions are mighty. Our boys are suckers for sausage gravy and biscuits, so rather than order from the kids menu, they split the Kitchen Sink. Omg. It was so much food you could split it three ways. It was a bottomless deep dish skillet that came out piled with food. The cocktails are very cheap at $8 and they don't skimp. We had the dragon tea and a mango cocktail that is similar to a margarita, but made with vodka. I preferred the dragon tea, personally. I love eggs Benedict and they had some cool variations. I went with the short rib eggs benny and it does not look like a lot of short rib meat, but trust me, it is. I chose to have cheesy grits as my side for a $1 more. They were good. If you have a sweet tooth they have some awesome french toast selections, that again, are a lot of food. The kids meal dishes also might as well be adult portions. My youngest wanted a kids chocolate milk. Did you know they brought out a high ball glass for him?!! $3. Wowzers. Are you seeing the trend here? Cash only, but they have an ATM in house. There are some parking spots in front for patrons, but they were all taken. We had little trouble finding street parking both times. This apparently is a chain, but it's good, so who cares? read more

Sunday brunch at home! Ordered Green Eggs Cafe. This restaurant is a Philly staple that many enjoy -- including myself! I've tried several meals from Green Eggs Cafe. This time, I had their creole shrimp and grits. I requested the eggs scrambled with cheddar cheese. Very delicious. Was not fond of the creole sauce on the side (it would possibly be better at the actual restaurant). Also, had their iced coffee crème brûlée latte that was so good! Mmm! I appreciate that Green Eggs Cafe uses eco-friendly products --which is great. Unfortunately, the packaging and presentation was not the best. The shrimp & grits just did not look presentable and was all over the place. The creole sauce was in a coffee cup container with NO label (I drunk it like coffee...SMH)! The iced coffee crème brûlée latte was covered by plastic and spilled over. Good food. Since people are ordering delivery more than ever before -- hope they figure out better packaging. read more

I'm not much of a breakfast person but I did enjoy my last visit. My partner had the steak and eggs which she loved. My go to is the smoked salmon and bagel. It was quite delicious. I enjoy this location more than the second street one they previously had because there was an option for alcohol. Nothing better than mimosas and a Bloody Mary to start out your Saturday. It's a very lively scene, parking can be a hassle but it's worth the wait. Any of the coffee options with condensed milk would be a good choice. Definitely give them a try. Only downside is the meal can get pretty pricey. Other than that it was lovely. read more

I've been to this location a few times. Met up with some family for breakfast. As we were seated the waitress comes over to take our orders. When she returns with the coffee and cream she spills the coffee/cream all on my cousins husbands clothes and boots. She was apologetic and offered to bring some hot water but she also rushed us to order after she did it. Maybe she was nervous but she definitely should have taken his meal off the bill after ruining his clothes and boots. The manager stopped by our table to ask how things were going, my aunt let her know what happened and she stated she wasn't made aware but she could have his clothes cleaned if he wanted to bring them back. This sounds so ridiculous to me. She should have asked if he had gotten burned. As a courtesy gave him a free meal. Something in that moment. Not go home take your clothes off and bring them back to get cleaned. As for the food everyone in our party seemed ok with their meal. I ordered the steak and egg replacement with braised short rib. Wasn't expecting it to be in a cup with gravy on it. Also it was cold. Won't be ordering that again, eggs overcooked , best thing I had was the creme brûlée latte. I had two and they were delicious. read more
