Went here 5 years ago and on my recent return trip to Philly, I insisted with my friends that we go here. Everyone was overwhelmed by choices on the menu. One of my friends and I ended up splitting a few things, and while it was all solid, felt that there was something slightly off in the execution. Still I'd come back next time I'm in Philly.
Flavorful Dishes with Some Service and Policy Quirks Green Eggs Café in Philly offers a memorable brunch experience, but it's not without its quirks. Let's start with the food:The Crème Brûlée French Toast was incredibly rich and decadent--vanilla extract and heavy cream really came through, making it bold and flavorful (though it might be too much for some). The Short Rib Egg Roll and Egg White Omelette were both packed with flavor and cooked well. Unfortunately, the Cheesy Hash Brown was a letdown--it came out as an overcooked, fried rectangle lacking the texture and taste I expected. We went around 10 a.m. on a Friday. It was busy, but we were seated right away. The interior was clean, modern, and decently spacious without feeling cramped. Metered parking is available along the side street ($2 for 2 hours), which was convenient. Pros: * Flavorful, creative dishes * Fast food prep despite the crowd * Diverse menu with fresh ingredients Cons: * Service didn't match the food quality--our server responded "I don't know" to basic menu questions and never checked in after food was delivered * An automatic 18% gratuity is charged on checks over $50 (a policy I haven't seen in this kind of setting) * Cash only, which isn't made super obvious ahead of time * Policy posted on every table says if your dish isn't to your liking, it can only be remade "to the chef's standard"--which feels a bit rigid and unwelcoming Would I come back? For the food, yes. But I'd manage my expectations around service and the unusual business practices.
Went on a Sunday afternoon as a group of 6. We only had a 10 minute wait, which was better than I expected. So thank you. The service was great, no complaints. I ordered the strawberry matcha, short rib Benedict, and a side of silver dollar pancakes. The strawberry matcha was good, it has cut up strawberries which got stuck in the straw. That made the drink hard to drink. The short rib Benedict was really good. It came with a cheesy hash on the bottom but I couldn't taste the hash. The short rib and hollandaise sauce combined were a salty which is why I think the breakfast potatoes would be a better base. The silver dollar pancakes were probably the worst part of my meal. At first I thought it was the syrup but the pancakes had a strange taste which is why I sent them back to get the breakfast potatoes. That was the best thing to offset the salty short rib. So order the potatoes instead of the cheesy hash as a base. I've been to a few of there locations before and I always forget it's cash only. They have an ATM available but in this day and age who carries around cash. That's just annoying to have to get cash. My personal pet peeve is group dinners where you have to calculate how much people owe, and being cash only makes it even worse. My other issue was that they have one price on their menu but the receipt had a different price. Yes it was a $2 difference but why? False advertisement much. The last thing that was annoying is that the menu says there's a 18% service fee but that's not gratuity. We asked the waitress and she say "yes and no"- yes it's gratuity but not it's not gratuity because it's split. Overall I'll still go back to the restaurant but just know I'll get annoyed by a few things.
We came to the Green Eggs Cafe in Brewerytown today after the Rocky Run 5k today. My group was a party of 9 and we as about 5 other similar sized groups showed up at the same time. The service was fast and efficient and the food was divine! I will definitely be coming back!
My first brunch of 2024 was in Philadelphia, since I spent New Year's Eve there. This place was spacious with plenty of seating, popular, yet able to accommodate our decently sized group. The interior was cute. I know I wanted one of the specialty coffee drinks, and went with the Salted Caramel Mocha Latte. This consisted of caramel syrup, espresso, steamed milk, sea salt, topped with whipped cream and drizzles of caramel / chocolate sauces. Absolutely delicious with strong taste of both flavors, creamy and sweet coffee. The Skillets sounded really good, so I ordered the Kitchen Sink one, which included 3 scrambled eggs, sausage crumbles, gruyere cheese, potatoes, peppers, onions, topped with sausage gravy, jumbo biscuit, in a cast iron skillet. This was HUGE and full of great, bold flavor. The eggs were cooked perfectly, sausage was tender and well seasoned, veggies were fresh and just the right consistency, while the biscuit was flaky, buttery, and the cheese was wonderfully melty. All the ingredients worked beautifully together, making for mouthwatering bites. I took more than half home and it tasted just as good the next day. Service was great. The waitress was welcoming and helpful. Prices are reasonable and it is important to note the restaurant is cash only. I definitely enjoyed my dining experience here.
Used to go to one northern liberties..but this one just as nice.. everything on menu great ..one favorite spots for brunch. Got peach cobbler french toast ..ginormous .with crumble for texture & my bestie got chicken waffle. W poached eggs . Service is always good!! Return factor- of course
Don't go. The manager Nita was the rudest person I have encountered in a very long time. The food was good, and our waitress Natalia was wonderful. However Nita had a nasty attitude from the moment we walked in the door. When we asked if we could have another chair for a guest who was arriving later, she said no and said she could not hold the table next to us either. I asked her what the solution was then, she just kept saying she couldn't hold the table- which we never asked her to do. When our waitress added a chair and we made space on one side of the table for it without putting it in the aisle, Nita came and without saying a word to us lifted the chair over her head and took it away! I've never seen anything like that. As I was leaving I asked Nita for her name and said I had some comments for her. She said her name was Nita and said to me "please don't come back." After my friends and I spent $200 in her restaurant. This woman is incredibly unprofessional and should stay in the back doing dishes instead of being forward facing with customers. Her attitude and customer service are deplorable. She should be fired immediately. And not to worry. I will never spend a dime in the establishment again.
I had the French toast board, which was a third of a regular sized portion of three different kinds of French toast: Creme Brulee | Cinnamon Bun| Cookie Dough. The cookie dough and cinnamon bun French toasts were my favorite! I will definitely get them again when I go back (yes, I will be planning on returning here!) The place is first come first served and cash only. The prices are reasonable especially for the portion sizes.
I have been to a few locations of Green Eggs, but not the one on Girard Ave! I was happy to meet up with family and enjoy a meal together! The staff were friendly and service prompt! The space offers spread out tables (not on top of fellow patrons) as some Green Eggs locations tend to do! The food portions continue to be plentiful and prepared perfectly! Cash Still Rules at Green Eggs!
This is my favorite breakfast spot in Philly. 10/10. I've been coming here for years and all I can say is their crème brûlée French toast and shrimp and grits is unmatched! Top 2 and not 2 okay. This place is perfect for a quick bite or a Sunday Brunch with friends/family. They are BYOB so keep that in mind. The shrimp and grits is amazing, I usually don't use the creole sauce that comes with it. Not necessary. Their French toast is to die for. So flavorful. Their drinks are bomb as well. I usually get their matcha or a coffee drink of some sort. Their juices can be a bit sweet just an fyi but still good.
Delicious! We came by from out of state and we have been seeing all the raving reviews for this place so we had to try. The breakfast eggrolls were tasty and different, French toast was delicious especially the cream topping, Benedict was great and so was the cheesy hash. The chips ahoy latte did not have much flavor just tasted like a regular iced latte unfortunately. The service was great no complaints there. Definitely a go to when visiting Philly.
I first bookmarked Green Eggs Cafe because of their specialty french toasts, but I ended up getting something else entirely. I wanted something savory but was warned the skillets would be huge. I split a weekly special, the Chicken Chilaquiles Skillet, with a friend. Two of our other friends got The Cure and The Kitchen Sink, which were huge too. Definitely plan to share if you get one. You can maybe finish it if you're a big eater. My friend and I also split another weekly special, the Mango Empanadas. They're more like mango cheesecake empanadas, though. I felt that the breading was too salty and the mango flavor didn't stand out in the cheesecake filling. I also tasted a bit of the Cinnamon Bun French Toast from a friend, which was too sweet for my tastes but did taste like cinnamon buns. Well done. Overall, Green Eggs Cafe has some unique dishes, but I don't think the quality is worth it for the price. It's also a little pricey for a cash-only joint. ($19 ish for a skillet) Note: It's a brunch chain in Philly, so the quality may differ between the branches.
Sundays are for brunch. Hungry and had time to spare. Seated right away. Parking is street parking only which can be challenging. Ordered a lavender honey latte and Oreo latte. Were delicious and worth the $6.00. The food order consisted of the chicken sandwich with home fries with onions and peppers. I probably won't get the home fries again. Very small cuts of potatoes. Ordered cheese grits which were very cheesy. I didn't order French toast but the ones that were coming out the kitchen looked delicious. Wide variety of food selections to include vegetarian Will visit again when in Philly.
Greens Eggs Cafe owes me nothing. It was a busy Saturday morning but we didn't have to wait long to be seated. It's BYOB and we did bring a bottle of champagne. The server brought a bucket of ice for us to chill our champagne and she even gave us a little strawberry syrup per our request to mix with our champagne. The restaurant is clean and the noise level is moderate. I ordered the crème brûlée French toast with a side of beef bacon and scramble eggs with American cheese. For my drink I ordered a passionfruit lemonade. Everything was fresh and super delicious. Ten out of ten definitely recommend. Just note that they take cash only. read more
This breakfast spot is a must try. The food has large portions and is really good. We ordered the short rib eggs Benedict, the French toast flight which was amazing, and the brisket hash that was a special. All were so good and very large sizes that's we couldn't finish. The French toast was crisp too perfection and the short rib had very good flavor. I also got a creme brulee latte which was great and not too sweet after I asked for an extra shot in it. The space has a lot of seating so can accommodate many people. The music and vibe was also on point! The only negative is that they charge a service fee which is a pretty hefty cost. They also only take cash so make sure to bring some when you go. Overall the experience was wondering and even though we got there less than an hour before they closed they were very friendly and did a great job with our food and service read more
I ordered the Cinnamon Bun French Toast. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't great. The main issue for me was that the dish came with Nutella on it, which is not mentioned in the menu description. I don't like Nutella, and I ordered this expecting cinnamon, brown sugar, maple, and cream not chocolate and hazelnut. If it had been on the menu I would have chosen something else. read more

Stumbled on this place nestled on a Brewerytown cozy corner actually in search of a different restaurant located on the same street. Being a Dr. Seuss fan there was no way we were going to walk passed without checking out what it was all about. One look at the menu and our original restaurant plan was quickly ditched. Who doesn't love breakfast, brunch and lunch served all day?! The menu offers a lot of options: sweet, savory or both! With coffees, lattes, teas and smoothies to complement your dining choice. Service is friendly and quick with a smile. We ordered the Creme Brûlée French Toast, Salted Caramel Banana Stuffed French Toast and sides of pork sausages and potatoes. When our main dishes arrived they were so beautiful we didn't want to ruin the art, but our stomachs won over quite quickly. The serving sizes are BIG! So come hungry. And oh boy, everything was fresh, hot and delicious. The Creme Brûlée French Toast was nicely balanced. The Caramel Banana Stuffed French Toast was very sweet, but we were warned hence the the sides to help off set. All in all a very nice accidental discovery. We would definitely revisit if in the area again. This place is CASH only! But there is an ATM at the door. read more
Green Eggs Cafes have been consistently decent, including this Brewerytown location. Was in the area on a Sunday and decided to dine-in for some breakfast. My friend was visiting and wanted to try out a good Philly brunch spot. Thankfully, was able to circle around once and find nearby street parking. Since it was fairly early, we did not have to wait to be seated. I started off with a delicious sweet crème brulee latte with whip cream. Sooo good! I went for one of my go-tos, the "kitchen sink," that was good (especially the biscuit) and had a lot of food. I barely put a dent in it! Customer service was good and it appeared clean inside. It's cash only and the restaurant have an ATM at the location. read more

The food was delicious and came fast. I personally didn't care for how expensive it's gotten over the years, but that happens. The server was really attentive. It's a really chiq environment, a nice place to take your mom out for brunch. Just be safe when you park. read more
I don't really have much hesitation recommending this Green Eggs Cafe. Whatever customer service that was lacking in other reviews seems to have been rectified. Everyone I encountered was pleasant and helpful. The food I saw coming out of the kitchen looked amazing including my own and my dates. But there were some things worth mentioning. The wait on a Friday afternoon (around 1pm) was about 15 minutes. The first thing that really hit me was the noise. It was almost unbearably loud. And it wasn't just from large groups of people talking. The servers stations loaded with plates, glassware, etc and even sinks in the dining room created a din of clings and clatter that was overwhelming. The kitchen itself is behind closed doors, I don't know why their dishes and sinks aren't too. Strange. To make matters worse they were only using one side of the dining room instead of spreading us all out which surely would have helped with the noise and COVID precautions. I have never seen a Chicken & Waffles Benedict before but don't like poached eggs so I was torn because I wanted this dish. To my happy surprise I could get the eggs scrambled and with my choice of American or Cheddar cheese. I also got the regular potatoes with onions and peppers as my side. I was happy with the eggs, potatoes and waffle but the chicken breast, while generous in portion and nice crispy texture, needed serious seasoning. It didn't give that expected contrast of savory and sweet only crunchy and sweet. The date like his dish overall as well, he had the Kitchen Sink, but he said the biscuit was hella dry. I saw it and it was pretty damn dense. But the skillet had a ton of eggs and potatoes and gravy. We both had enough for leftovers. read more
Why oh why does Green Eggs hit every single time? I didn't know the Brewerytown location was BYOB but now I'm hip. Crab cake eggs benedict? Bomb.com especially the old bay hollandaise sauce. French toast with vanilla streusel? Delicious. Buffalo mac and cheese? Wasn't hitting this time, but that's alright. read more
Arrived at Green eggs without a reservation and had to wait about 5 mins before being seated. Which was great because the restaurant was busy. While Waiting a homeless man kept entering the restaurant but the manager handled him with care and compassion and it was nice to see that she cared. We came with our own champagne and the wait service immediately put it on ice. Our food was absolutely delicious. I tried the bang bang shrimp Benedict (special menu item) with side a side of potatoes. read more

Green Eggs is one of my most coveted brunch spots after years of dining in Philly. There are plenty of brunch spots that look nice in photos on social media but don't uphold the quality in person. However, this spot encompasses every part of a perfect brunch (besides still being cash only ). Even better, there are now five locations within Philly. My most recent visit was even better than others I've had in the past. We arrived shortly after the brunch rush at 1PM and lucked out with no wait time. They still have the standard menu with great variety as well as a seasonal menu that changes periodically. The entrees here are super decadent, so I always recommend getting a few items at the table to share. My friend and I went for one sweet and one savory entree to share together as well as a few of our own sides. We got "The Cure" Skillet, Cinnamon Bun French Toast and sides of Turkey Bacon and Grits w/Cheddar and Cream. Every part of our meal was great. Despite being marketed as a hangover meal, each component of the skillet was high quality and flavorful. The Turkey Bacon is a much better quality and thicker cut than what you get elsewhere. Grits are an afterthought at many spots, but the creaminess and tanginess of these were delicious. The french toast maintained inner fluffiness with outer crispness despite being soaked in delicious toppings. Many brunch spots have opened throughout the city recently, but very few do it as well as Green Eggs does. I'm extremely glad to see that the quality has stayed consistently great over the years. The food here is pretty heavy for frequent visits, but it's a disservice not to dine here if you're in Philly. read more

I don't think I really need to say much here. Green Eggs is a staple of Philly breakfast culture boasting a delicious menu with items like their Creme Brûlée French which is sure to leave you satisfied. This CASH ONLY restaurant is always jumping so I recommend people trying to get there earlier versus later. Staff is awesome and are always happy to help guests pick a meal that matches what they are looking for the particular day. Huge fan. Will gladly be back again. read more

I came to GEC for my first post-vaccine dine-in meal. It's been 14+ months since I sat inside a restaurant, and there were definitely some things to adjust to! The limited capacity is nice in that the noise level inside the restaurant wasn't extreme, which made for a better conversation with my table-mates. The negatives of limited capacity are 1. longer wait times and 2. being kicked out of your table as soon as you are done eating. The food we got was excellent for 2 out of 3 of us. I had "The Cure" skillet, which was basically just a gigantic skillet of trash (in the best way possible - see photo). The short rib was juicy and tender and I really enjoyed my meal. One of my friends got the banana stuffed French toast and loved it. It came with raw banana, cooked banana, banana chips, banana cream...it was intense, and she gobbled up as much as she could fit in her stomach (the portion was huge). My other companion got the burger and said it was as dry as a hockey puck. If you're coming to GEC, I suggest one of the insane French toast combinations or the crazy skillet that I got. They are cash-only and will add an 18% gratuity for any bill over $50. They also have three large benches outside, which are great when you're waiting for a table. The parking situation is not great, but if you circle the block a few times you're bound to squeeze in somewhere! read more

I have heard about this place several times but have never gone. I went for brunch one Saturday and was quite impressed. The Girard location is spacious but still has a cafe type feel. The service was friendly even for being pretty busy. We didn't have a reservation, and it still wasn't a long wait. The food was delicious, and there were large portions. I suggest sharing. This was only my first time here, but I would def recommend trying because my first trip earned 5 stars for sure! Try the chocolate chip cookie dough frwnch toast. read more

Ordered online. Ordered the first time and order was canceled without any explanation. Ordered again and it was just as bad. Asked for ketchup, and butter on the side and I did not get it. Asked for a coffee and it was filled with so much coffee grounds it was undrinkable. read more
This was a good time. Staff was friendly, accommodating and service was quick. It's cash only so that's a little weird in 2021. My short rib Benedict was underwhelming. The hashbrown was over cooked and the entire Benedict wasn't seasoned. But I had a good time and will return, but maybe get something different. read more

This was my first time at this particular location and the servers were very kind. My group of 4 had a hard time deciding what to get because of the wonderful options. I love Benedicts and couldn't resist the chicken and waffle version! I knew I couldn't go wrong with this, and that was confirmed. I'd recommend it for sure. My husband got the breakfast burrito which was thick and packed with flavor. Every time I go to Green Eggs, someone gets the kitchen sink and this time was no different. I've yet to hear any bad comments on that dish. My other friend had the fried chicken sandwich after much debate on breakfast vs lunch. We agreed to return to try various French toasts after scanning the room. read more
