    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.

    The Kitchen Sink
    Jess F.

    Classic brunch that's delicious and in huge portions makes Green Eggs a staple! Service is prompt and kind, and the ambiance is lively with pop music and several TV screens. The Kitchen Sink was a rich and delicious platter that sent our brunch cravings running for the hills. It has everything you need - eggs, potatoes, peppers, biscuit, and gravy. Top it off with Cholula and every bite is perfection! This was absolutely huge, we couldn't even finish it between two people. The red velvet pancakes, which we ordered in a kids size, were surprisingly not too sweet! They're more of a deep chocolate flavor than sugary, but the cream and strawberries on top contribute to the sweet side. There's also syrup you can drizzle on top. The kids size was giant as well, I can't imagine how large the regular order would be! Green Eggs has everything you could need for brunch and more, and I can't wait to come back again!

    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.

    Pb&j latte

    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.

    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

    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.

    French toast flight
    Paige S.

    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.

    Latte
    Kristine S.

    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

    Apple Pie French Toast, mimosas
    Michele H.

    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.

    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 Love is better. The space is beautiful, the service is consistently warm, and Stephen Starr's fingerprints are all over it. I love the painted white brick, the floral artwork along the walls, the street-level energy, and the outdoor seating. I also remember taking the elevator upstairs once. I can't remember whether we actually stayed and ate up there or asked to move back downstairs, but the space was charming and extremely private. It would be a great setting for a group dinner or event. Personally, I prefer downstairs. It's darker, livelier, and I like being at street level. The menu historically leaned more heavily into elevated Southern comfort food, which has never been my favorite style of cooking. That's probably why I've tended to prefer The Love for lunch over dinner, especially when Philadelphia has so many Starr restaurants competing for the same night out. I used to get what I remember as a salmon and farro bowl, although the menu appears to have evolved since then. Whatever the exact iteration was, I loved it. Fish and farro are both right in my wheelhouse. I've also enjoyed the kale salad and other lighter dishes. The thing I remember most vividly, though, is the cornbread. It is outrageously good and reason enough to order something for the table. I also give Starr credit for continuing to broaden the range of food styles in his portfolio. Once you've built restaurants across Italian, French, Mexican, English, steakhouses, seafood, and the rest, there are only so many obvious boxes left to check. The Love feels like its own lane: distinctly American, approachable, comfort-driven, and still polished enough to feel like a Starr restaurant. Looking at the menu now, it seems broader than I remember, with more options that appeal to me, and I'd be psyched to go back. The Love probably isn't the first Starr restaurant I'd choose purely based on cuisine, but that says more about the depth of his Philadelphia portfolio than it does about this restaurant. The room, hospitality, location, and execution are all excellent. I'd happily come here any day. Starr doesn't miss.

The line took us about 30 minutes to get inside, then we ordered at the counter, took a number, and the food was brought to our table.

We admired the little smiley face on the pancakes! They were so cute. The breakfast sandwich was good, but just okay. It wasn't anything special. I thought the sauce was hot sauce, but it was more of a barbecue sauce dip. I appreciated being able to sub the avocado in the sandwich over the meat without an extra charge to make it vegetarian. Overall, I get the hype, but try to get there early to avoid a long wait. The pancakes are delightful, but very sweet and syrup soaked, so I could only eat about a quarter of it. I'd recommend splitting! Also the cost wasn't bad either - the whole meal for three entrees, taxes, and a tip was pretty average for brunch in the city, costing us each (we split all the food in half) roughly $30.

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!

I also ordered a decaf since I can't have caffeine, and needed to take allergy medication because I realized halfway through that it had caffeine. Oats were cooked (which was great), but was missing the promised toppings from the menu. An iced latte + oats = $33. I also chatted with the manager after this and she said raisins are seasonal (not true lol) so they could remove toppings without telling us, and that it is standard to not receive assistance about what items fit dietary restrictions and to just look at a menu (not true).
