    Been going here for years they are a cash only and I'm usually seated quickly and the service is very good. The restaurant as a whole is clean and bright. My go to is the cure skillet It's a beautiful way to blow up your diet.Its brisket, French fries and mac and cheese all mixed together in a beautiful great tasting dish. The real slightly negative thing I have to say it's pretty much all Philly restaurants do it is they do charge a service fee but they don't say what it is. I looked it up and it's to pay the back of house staff not the service staff. I would say management may want to choose a better name for it

    My friend loves the food here so we drove all the way from Jersey just for brunch! She thoroughly enjoyed her vegan pecan pie French toast. It was ok, maybe if the temperature of my meal (or even the temperature of the restaurant) was hotter I would've enjoyed it more. I had the "kitchen sink" and it was pretty tasty! I loved having everything all together. Good size portion too. Service was friendly and the food came out surprisingly quick.

    We love green eggs cafe. The Rittenhouse location is perfect for brunch prior to a stroll at the Rittenhouse farmer's market. Our go to order options are kitchen sink, breakfast burrito and breakfast enchiladas. Their breakfast drinks are delicious as well. Love the Bloody Mary. They're still cash only so definitely carry cash or use their atm indoors.

    Where do I even start? We had a bit of a wait but the wait was worth it. They do have an accessibility ramp, which a member of our party used. I ordered the PB&j latte as well as the short rib Benedict. My brunch dates ordered the French toast dishes and they turned out great. My Benedict was delicious and went well with the potatoes. The French toast was fluffy with a lot of flavor. The blueberries being in season along with lemon gave it a great bright flavor. Since the portions were so large, I split the Benedict with them and had some of the french toast. The creme brulee french toast was a major win as well. This place gets very busy but service is great and the food is absolutely worth the wait. Very cool diner vibes and also very clean. There's tables in the back and the front. You're able to see a lot of the action in the kitchen if you're in the back. I enjoy that they have options for pretty much everyone so that people can dine and eat what they want.

    YUM!!! Everything we ordered came perfectly. We enjoyed the presentation of the dishes and the decadent flavor options. If you are like me and have an extreme sweet tooth, this spot is for you. The French toast all sounded heavenly so we opted for the flight to maximize our flavors. The breakfast enchiladas also had a lot of food with a good amount of sauces and I loved the guacamole and bean sauces. Our lattes were sweet but not too sweet so it provided a nice balance to our sweet and savory meal.

    Green Eggs Cafe is of our favorite breakfast/brunch spots in the city. They have limited menu and seasonal specials that they execute brilliantly. My standard goto order is Kitchen sink skillet that comes with biscuit and gravy and some delicious small sized potatoes and cheese. The skillet is nice and tasty and has never disappointed me. We also ordered kid's French toast sticks which was nice but a bit on the oily side. The beverages that we ordered were flavorful and strong. The beverage portion was on the smaller side though. My only issue is that even today they are cash only place which is nostalgic at times but almost all the other times very irritating as we now need to arrange for cash. Service is nice and polite. There may be rush and waiting so be prepared. Casual ambiance !

    Shrimp & Grits
    Kathryn W.

    Standard brunch spot in Philly that is good for walk ins! I ordered the shrimp and grits which was cheesy and tasty, although was a pretty generic take on it. The portions were very large which was great. I've had the tofu scramble before which is okay as well. Overall a great spot for a quick brunch but nothing unique about the food.

    Great Place to eat, has a lot to offer on their breakfast. Menu was really hard to choose what to eat. They have a great drink menu as well. They have mimosa pitchers as well. Only thing you would really need to know when you get there is you have to have cash. They do have ATM at the front of the building before you go back to get served to be able to pull out money to eat but just know you do need cash Otherwise, the place is very clean and they have a lot of seating to offer.

    Looked at menu and thought it would be a great place for brunch. Didn't realize they had multiple locations, located near to one another but all worked out well. The chicken sandwich was mediocre and probably should have gone with one of the interesting breakfast items. Coffee drink with cinnamon whip cream was amazing. The service was good but to be honest was uncomfortable with a service charged added to bill as we did not know if this went to serve. Percent was 18 percent and given early statement did not want to leave a couple of dollars. Receipt also had suggested tip printed which suggested to us service charge did not go to wait staff. Additionally, this is a cash only place. While the food was OK it worked out to be an expensive brunch experience. Would love to try other items but given Service Charge probably won't be back

    Green Eggs Café holds a special place for us, as it was the spot for one of our first few dates, and recently our last meal before getting married! The food was genuinely really good, and the service was great, making the experience memorable. The major drawbacks, however, are related to payment transparency. I was frustrated by the mandatory service charge tacked onto the bill, which is separate from the standard tip and gratuity. Additionally, be aware that the restaurant is cash only, which can be quite inconvenient if you aren't prepared. While the food and staff are fantastic, the payment policies detract from the overall enjoyment.

    Definitely want to get there a bit before open or might have to wait some. Also recommend looking at menu ahead of time if you get overwhelmed by a menu with so many good options.

    Carlan M.

    Walked in and was seated immediately. Please be warned this is CASH ONLY!!! There is an atm on site but again it's CASH ONLY!! An 18 percent charge is added on bills over 50 dollars. Our serve Damien was amazing. My friend's mimosa was not right the first time and the manager herself came over and made sure it was correct. The manager continued to check on us during our time which was amazing. She's very hands on Now to the food! Large and I mean large portions. A day later and I still have enough food for two. I got the braised ribs egg rolls , red celery pancakes and home fries! To drink the blueberry lemonade. All delicious. My friend is vegan and I loved that they have so many vegan options. I would highly recommend getting a plate to share it's so much food! Every thing was wonderful and highly recommend. Walking distance from a lot of attractions.

    Pernil Benedict
    Jennifer G.

    This is the second time I've eaten here, and it was a lovely experience again. Our waitress was absolutely lovely (unfortunately, I didn't catch her name); I requested hot water to drink during our meal, and she also gave me an extra cup of hot water to go when we left because it was cold outside. I got a strawberry matcha, which was great; the strawberries were very sweet, and our waitress also gave me a boba straw because the strawberry pieces kept getting stuck in the regular straw. I ordered the Pernil Benedict from the special's menus and it was delicious. The meat was very soft while the rice cake was crispy, and textures and flavors worked well together. I also like the openness and the good amount of natural light that this cafe gets. I'm excited to come back :) This place is cash-only.

The food itself was okay, but I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone in the area because holy cow the nickel and diming. It's an all-cash restaurant and they do have a big sign saying so on the front of their door. If you don't have cash, there's an ATM at the front that charges a $7 fee. Not 7%. Seven dollars. The next thing you're hit with is that all checks over $50 are automatically charged an 18% service charge. Everything on the menu was an average of $22 and of course, they don't allow split checks. Which means if you're going to breakfast with a friend you're going to hit that $50 pretty immediately. Add to that, the sides that come with your entree are all at a $1-$1.50 up charge with the exception of the breakfast potatoes, which were overcooked and dried out.

Upon arrival, I learned that the Patchwork Restaurant & Bar is where the happy hour specials, dinner options, and in the morning, breakfast takes place. I enjoyed the food and service during my visit for breakfast before heading back to the airport the next day. The Patchwork Philly has a restaurant, a bar, and a market. The restaurant includes breakfast, brunch, dinner, bar-cocktail, happy hour, and dessert. The happy hour menu is only valid at the bar. Reservations can be made on OpenTable. Breakfast is served until 10:30 AM. They serve omelettes (Denver, Egg White, and Patchwork omelets), sweets (yoghurt parfait, ricotta pancakes, and steelcut oatmeal), savory dishes (Italian-inspired breakfast plate, eggs benedio, croissant sandwich), drinks, sides, and the breakfast buffet with chef's daily selections including coffee and tea. The buffet was great! It included fruits (dried and fresh), breads, meats, eggs, and so much more. And even better, for those with Hyatt Globalist status, you get a free breakfast at Patchwork Philly! You can learn more about Patchwork Philly at https://patchworkphilly.com including menus, reservations, events & private dining, information about the chef, a photo gallery, and social media links. They are open for breakfast on weekdays from 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM. Brunch is on the weekends from 7 AM to 12 Noon. Dinner is Sunday through Thursday from 5 PM to 9 PM and Friday and Saturday from 5 PM to 10 PM. The bar is open on Sunday through Thursday from 4 PM to 9 PM and Friday and Saturday from 4 PM to 11 PM. Happy hour is weekdays from 4 PM to 6 PM and includes discounted dishes from parmesan fries, arancini, shrimp cocktail, and a burger and beer vibe combo. Bar snacks include olives, spiced nuts, popcorn duo, and onion dip. I'd assume there are happy hour drink specials, too. The quick service and tasty food made Patchwork Philly a great food option at the Hyatt Centric, and if I stay there again, I'll jump at eating again at Patchwork Philly!

We braved negative degree weather for the roughly 10 minute walk from our hotel. We walked in at a good time. This is the type of place where a reservation for breakfast would be required. We were sat immediately. The dining area is tight. A green velvet bench, marble tables, metal chairs, all packed into a small area. You could very well have your butt brush over the table of the patrons next to you if you have to get up for any reason. It's tight. Our server was around quickly. He was super friendly and kept things conversational, light and sophisticated. My wife ordered an iced latte, I had their hot drip coffee. For a starter, we had to try the cinnamon knot bread. While it wasn't what we were expecting, it was good. Although, we wouldn't order again. The bread is presented as a small loaf, room temperature with a cold cream cheese icing drizzled over top. The bread had a mild cinnamon flavor and was dry. It lacked the sweet, moist dough you expect from a cinnamon bread. My wife ordered the French style omelet. This had gruyere cheese and chives. Beautifully plated, perfectly cooked and the taste was spot on. It was good enough to forget that she paid $21 for just an omelet, no meat, no sides. I ordered the Eggs Benedict. Pretty standard here. The eggs had bright orange yolks which is common for farm fresh eggs. The "coffee" hollandaise didn't come across with a coffee flavor but it was rich and went well with the ham and English muffins. One thing that stuck with me was their drip coffee. Not sure if it has been a while since I had a light roast but the Rival Bros. Revolver coffee was so good, I got a bag of whole beans to bring back home with me. I may even order it again online.
