Green Eggs Cafe is definitely one of those Philly brunch spots that lives up to the hype! The portions are HUGE, the food is flavorful, and there are so many fun options that it was honestly hard to decide what to order. Everything looked and tasted so good, and the whole experience had that fun, lively brunch energy. Definitely come hungry because the portions are no joke! The service was great, the staff was friendly, and overall it was such a fun spot to grab brunch with friends. If you're in Philly and want something beyond the typical breakfast, I'd definitely put Green Eggs Cafe on your list. And yes... I'd absolutely come back! read more

Second time coming here, and this time we didnt have to wait. We came on a Saturday afternoon, and there was plenty of seating. Service was a 10/10 We ordered the Peach Mimosa Carafe- 10/10 "The Cure" Skillet is exactly what it sounds like!! French fries, loaded with mac & cheese, and pot roast, topped with melted cheese. ENOUGH FOR 2 ppl to share!!! I didn't know these items went together, but they did!! And the best part, they tasted good individually as well. Silver Dollar Pancakes- 3/10...might be the worst pancakes I've had. There was no flavor at all, not even buttermilk, and there was something off about the texture I just couldn't put my finger on. The syrup didn't help it. I'm not sure if the batter got mixed up with a different one, but these were not good! The generous 3 is simply for the presentation. CASH ONLY--ATM located inside. 18% service fee automatically included on bills of $50+. Always a safe spot when I'm in Philly. read more

Came here with a group and had a decent time. It was kind of cold inside and service wasn't that quick even though we came on a Tuesday afternoon and it didn't seem very busy. The chicken Caesar wrap was mid, but filling. I liked the fries at this restaurant a lot! My friend who got "the cure" skillet liked her food a lot, there was a lot of meat and it was overall very filling, she had a lot for leftovers. Overall: reasonable prices on breakfast food and it's decent. Service is eh and also cash only! read more

What a mixed experience! Very cute diner dive with great service in the Pride district. They only take cash and have an ATM inside. However, the food wasn't great. In fact, they should NEVER serve those home fries again. Greasy baby potatoes purchased from the supermarket. I sent back twice. Then, these Amazon boxes less than 5 feet away from me, and even closer to food. Seriously?! read more

This place was great. I went to Philly for a wedding and went here for brunch two of those days. While I wasn't able to snag a picture of my first meal which was the steak and eggs, my second venture here I got the buffalo chicken Mac and cheese with the three french toasts for the table. The Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese was perfectly filling and hit the spot day after a wedding reception. The service here also is great as they were usually packed but the wait staff was always checking in. The atmosphere of this place was also pretty cool as they had all sorts of things on the menu drink and food wise. They are a cash only establishment though. read more

4.25 stars. With a menu that focuses on decadent comfort food, you will not walk out of Green Eggs Cafe hungry. People in my group ordered the French Toast Board which looked like it could feed a (BTS) Army. I grabbed a forkful of a dish on the specials menu -- birria with cornbread -- & it was as delicious as it sounds. For the filling in my 3-Egg Omelette, I chose mushrooms, tomato, onion, & provolone. The side of potatoes came with a Tex-Mex twist of onions & peppers which lent so much good, fresh flavor. All rounded out with a side of rye & crispy bacon. My breakfast was made with care & a whole lotta butter. Green Eggs Cafe makes the simple things right & the indulgent foods even better. read more

Always my go to brunch spot. This is a cash-only restaurant but they do have an ATM inside. It can also be pretty crowded on weekends so you may have to wait a bit depending on your party amount. The shrimp and grits is a solid. The shrimp are jumbo, not like the smaller cocktail shrimps. The amount of grits is also pretty deceptive. The skillet is a bit deep and they fill it up. The grits are also well seasoned and dont have that "gritty" texture that can happen when undercooked The shrimp tacos are a seasonal special and are much bigger than I thought they'd be. A lot of the serving sizes are pretty gracious and this wasnt an exception. My only critic is that it wouldve been nice to get the sweet chili sauce on the side so that i could control the amount per taco. The tortillas were well cooked so the sauce didn't soak through but it was dripping all over my hands and plate with each bite. The shrimp were the same as the grits ones and were well coated in panko for a nice crunch. read more

MY GOOD PERSONAL FRIEND, GREEN EGGS CAFE. Everytime I come here, I have such a great meal, except for the fact that every single time I forget to bring cash. There's an ATM but I just never ever have cash on me. The food is so so good. A nice selection of sweet treats like cinnamon roll bagels to then savory options like eggs benedict and skillets. Their coffee drinks are so weird in the best way like chip ahoy lattes and things of that nature. Their boozy drinks are also just as good and reasonably priced! The staff is attentive even when handling what has to be 9 million tables as theres tons of seating. On the weekend there's almost always a wait, and they don't take reservations. read more

Came here for breakfast with my family who came to visit for 4th of July weekend. We were sat really fast! Service was great and friendly. The food came out hot and fast. My family loved everything in the menu and they have a lovely variety of food for the kids! Such a great time. read more

Absolutely love their breakfast. the bacon is to die for. this is a go to spot for me. their pancakes and french toast are sooooo tasty

Came for brunch on the weekend. The line was out the door and down the street when we arrived! We waited for around 15-20 minutes to be seated at a larger table near the windows. We received our food quickly. I ordered the braised short rib benedict with the chips ahoy/cookie monster latte. The ribs were tender and well-seasoned, the eggs perfectly runny, and the potatoes were cooked well. The latte had bits of chips ahoy in it, was tasty and surprisingly not too sweet. A very filling meal and a great way to start the day of walking and exploring the city! read more

Came here on a Monday morning after hearing great things about this establishment. I was expecting a line but I actually got seated right away. I'm assuming it was because it was a week day since they have 2 areas that you can sit at and only 1 area was being occupied. Before being seated, we were told it is cash only but the my do have an ATM on site which is a plus. Pretty laid back place with a bunch of people talking (normal) but not so much you couldn't have a conversation yourself. Here is what we ended up going with. Rating: 8/10 I got a Dirty Chai Latte which was excellent! I'm usually an iced type of Person but I forgot to mention that so it came hot. No big deal. Still solid! I'm sure I would have rated it higher if it was iced since the flavor was excellent. Great flavor on the chai and the espresso didn't over power it, it complemented it. Super solid. Rating 10/10 I ended up choosing the kitchen sink as it is one of their specialties here. Let me tell you, this plate is massive! Definitely shareable. Did I share? No lol. It was the perfect balance of hearty and cheesy but oh so delicious! It came with potatoes at the bottom which were so buttery along side some pepper and onions topped with eggs and sausage smothered in cheese and to top it all off, a biscuit and gravy! Can you say more?! GET IT! Be careful tho, the skillet comes out piping hot! If you're ever in the area, swing by. You won't regret it! read more

Very solid brunch spot- pertinent positives Poached eggs were perfectly executed! Love the pork roll options, cinnamon toast was tasty but perhaps a tiny bit too sweet. Great drink options. Mimosas were flavorful. Staff were friendly and accommodating Large space with many tables. Negatives- cash only, some fake table decor? Only two individual bathrooms, and coffee was a little burnt, music is a bit loud. All in all very good options- almost too many to choose from. A lot of menu items are unique but they do execute them well! read more

A college friend who is like a sister to me was in town for a conference so we planned to meet up for breakfast/brunch. Gave her a list of places to consider and she chose this Philly brunch staple that I knew wouldn't disappoint. **For those who haven't been before, this is a CASH ONLY restaurant. Bring it with you or use the ATM in the restaurant** (we brought cash with us since I knew that) We got there around 10:30/10:45 Friday morning. For some reason I wasn't expecting it to be as full as it was since it's a weekday, but it is a Friday and this is a go-to breakfast/lunch/brunch place in the city so I should've expected that. It wasn't too crowded though and the hostess immediately greeted and seated us after we walked in. The large windows help bring in a ton of natural light, making the space bright. Shoutout to our waitress Jane (believe she said that was her name), who gave us honest and good feedback on menu options we were trying to choose between. Based off her insights, my friend went with the Funnel Cake French Toast from the Specials menu while I decided to get the Breakfast Enchiladas with no pork chorizo. We were both happily satisfied with our choices. Coming out, they both were appealing to the eye, served hot and fresh. Each of us felt good with what we went with. As always, a great breakfast/brunch experience at Green Eggs! read more

We found this place on Yelp as we walked around Philly looking for a great breakfast spot. Greeted right away but had to wait outside for maybe 5 min, then was advised they are cash only, they have an ATM so it was fine. So FYI CASH ONLY. There were soooo many items on this menu we wanted to try plan on returning but we have 1 more day let in the city lol we decided on the kitchen sink and chicken and waffle Benedict. Both were amazing! Sauce was delicious and the hash brown was like something I've never had it looked a lil odd but as soon as I tasted that fried cheese it was the best.!!! Highly recommend this place and I'm sure anything you pick is gonna be great. read more

I got the short rib Benedict and it was okay. Pretty bland, not a lot of flavor. When the server came to take my order they asked if I wanted potatoes or grits, did I want peppers and onions, etc etc. so I said yeah sure. Then the bill comes and there's an up charge for the onions and peppers which was never explained to me beforehand. My friend also got upcharged for something that wasn't explained to her as being an extra cost. When I saw the bill and complained , she said "it said on the menu that it was extra" but did end up taking the charges off , But then had an attitude with us. It was also SO loud in there we could hardly hear each other talk. Wouldn't go back. read more

I think the food and drink is great quality and proportions. It's cash only which i can do.

Not a fan of rewarding crappy service. read more

We were looking for a sit down breakfast spot close to our hotel that we could eat at before heading to the airport. Green Eggs was all we could find in the area. 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. read more

I think this is a great affordable brunch spot in Center City! Classic breakfast foods with a twist - Philly cheesesteak benedict for example. Amazing looking stuffed french toasts and pancakes, but I don't like sweet breakfast foods. So I got a crispy chicken caesar wrap with mac and cheese on the side ($1 upgrade, $17 total). Honestly underwhelming. That was the smallest wrap I've ever gotten in my life and the mac and cheese was just okay. They had fun coffee flavors like Dirt and Creme Brulee - soooo sweet. I was not able to sub out the oatmilk since they prebatch it. Affordable though $7 per coffee. Also FYI it is cash only but they have an ATM in there. Lots of seating, including an indoor bar with TVs and an outdoor patio. read more

First of all the reviews for this place are unmatched. Plus, our hotel listed them as number one on the breakfast list. Not sure if it was based on popularity or distance but both won the day. It was literally right down the street within walking distance from our hotel. I definitely read the cash only tip from prior Yelpers and noticed they did not take reservations so was a little concerned about a long wait time. Thankfully, the wait was not an issue. They had an ATM on site and there was no wait when we arrived around 12:30. It was also obvious that people raved about the red velvet pancakes. Those things looked huge, so I knew if I even considered ordering them it would have to be a small size. Thankfully, that was also accomplished. When I shared my concerns about portion control with our waitress said she could give me the kids size. This was perfect! The restaurant was buzzing was people. Super loud. So much so, that when we gave our orders our waiter could hardly hear us. I had the Egg white omelet with mushroom, spinach, home fries with peppers, and wheat toast. My companions had one order of the blueberry and peaches pancakes, and another order of turkey bacon, wheat toast, scrambled eggs and home fries. The kids size of the red velvet pancakes was just right. I actually preferred the blueberry and peaches order which came with 12 mini pancakes - so cute and tasty- to the red velvet pancakes. My hot chocolate was yummy with quality whipped cream and the view of the beautiful mural across the street made our brunch time here a treat! read more

From classic breakfast favorites to more creative brunch options, everything we ordered was fresh, delicious, and well worth the wait. The ambiance adds to the overall experience. The café has a vibrant and inviting atmosphere that makes it a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends.

Arrive with a little patience--the line is a testament to the quality of the food and the overall dining experience. read more

Of course this is good! This has been a staple for brunch in the city for many years. Whatever location you end up at, you will have delicious comforting food with heaping portions. And it is consistent. I remember when they first came on the scene and so much hype. We needed brunch spots back then. Now we have plenty but you can continue to trust Green Eggs. My daughter lives right across the street from this Green Eggs so we met for brunch for her birthday. Shrimp and grits for me and the "cure" skillet for two of my girls. Delicious! The skillet was decadent with creamy Mac n cheese, short ribs, cheese and French fries. My shrimp and grits were so good with cheesy grits and well seasoned shrimp. My birthday girl wanted the French toast flight for the table for dessert. So good! This place is so indulgent. I've been here so many times through out the years and it never disappoints! read more

This place was huge!!! Very crowded, very hipster, lots and LOTS of options for food considering it was a brunch spot, they close early. We got so many things but me personally? I got the open short rib sandwich and subbed their mac and cheese with onion rings. Sandwich was delicious with lots and lots of cheese I loved their mac and cheese as well it tasted like sharp cheddar mixed with monterey jack. YUM. I did take a star off because the hostess/server was not very kind to our group possibly because she was not very friendly but then again it was busy, maybe she was stressed. Will absolutely return again! read more

One of my favorite breakfast places when visiting Philadelphia. Bright, open space, energetic vibe with upbeat music. Food is good, I enjoyed my omelette, although, a two egg omelette is the same price as the three egg omelette. I asked for the smaller omelette with extra toppings (tomato & cheese) and it cost more than my fiancé's 3-egg omelette. That was a little disappointing. Mimosa was great, enjoyed the pineapple. Loved the multigrain toast. Thick nice quality bread,served with soft butter, and asked for strawberry jelly. Very good Potatoes were good, served with lots of pepper & onions. Omelette was nice, I just like the cheese scrambled inside instead of on top, but that's just a personal preference. Gratuity is added to the bill, that's interesting, maybe a Philly thing? Overall a good positive experience. read more

Incredible! This place is so adorable inside and out. A friend and I went around 11:15 on a Sunday morning and we were able to get a table in about 15 minutes (shorter than the wait time we were quoted). We decided to share two meals in order to get sweet and savory. The Apple Pie French Toast was to die for and it was so huge. I don't think I could eat that without something savory to go alongside it. Our savory meal was the Ultimate Tofu Scramble with a side of mac and cheese. The ultimate tofu scramble was pretty good but we both had to add hot sauce for some flavor. The mac and cheese, however was really good-- though nothing was as good as our French toast. Our server was super sweet and despite being super busy we were well looked after. Be warned they only take cash and you can't split checks - but they have an atm in the restaurant if you forget. read more

I've been to Green Eggs multiple times, and I can't believe that this is the first time I'm leaving a review! We love the fun options that this spot comes up with, like this special banana cream pie French toast from the weekend. But they also have some great classics like their chicken and waffles and the kitchen sink. Their specialty coffee is also pretty good - I usually order it half sweet though because they do love their sugar here! Cash only, but if you forget, there's an ATM available. They also include a service fee in your bill already, so make a note of that too. read more

This was a cute little brunch spot to try on our journey in Philly and although it sucks they are cash only, they have an atm in the restaurant to get cash. I got their short rib with eggs and fruit and the short rib was so juicy and tender and paired perfectly with the eggs I had. The fruit was ripe and sweet as well. My bf got their surf and turf and the steak was cooked perfectly and the crab cake was huge. It tasted like crab and stuffing more so than an actual crab cake but nonetheless it was really good. read more

Fun breakfast spot. Family friendly but also serves mimosas. They had a special menu because we went during St. Pattys Day. I like the fun options they had with all the boards. My kids tried all the French toasts they had. They were too sweet for me but the kids liked it. I loved that they had turkey bacon. I don't eat pork so having turkey or chicken breakfast meats mean so much to me. Our server was really nice and she kept my mimosas flowing. read more

The menu is super interesting and had so much to offer. There was so many choices we found it difficult trying to pick something so we ended up splitting two entrees. Which worked out because the French toast was sooo sweet and the Benedict balanced that out. The carafe of peach mimosas was not really that cold, I would've loved it the pitcher had been placed in a bucket of ice but it still tasted great. The coffees were delicious. The ambiance was just ok, from the outside you're expecting something beautiful and elegant but we were sat in the very back of the restaurant which felt like being tucked away in a small old diner. I would have preferred to sit at the bar. Lastly, though the food tasted very good, both my friend and I had a stomach ache later on in the day and we hadn't eaten anything else. It's possible it was just too much sugar but definitely was a bit disappointed to leave feeling a bit sick. read more

Visited the Green Eggs Cafe in center city after a short stay in Philly. It is a 5 min walk from the Cambria Hotel. This a cash only establishment. An ATM is available on site. They offer two large menus for food (including vegetarian options) and drinks. I ordered the Honey Lavender Latte and The Cure Skillet. Honey Lavender Latte- 2/5 -Taste like a regular iced coffee with a little honey at the bottom. Not sure if any lavender was in the drink. The Cure Skillet- braised beef, mac & cheese, and fries topped with cheese. The description is mouthwatering. It was absolutely delicious, it lived up to its "savory" name. Come with an appetite because this a lot of food for one person.I couldn't finish it by myself. I would recommend sharing it with someone or just keep the leftovers. 5/5 Service: The turn around time for the food was very quick. My waitress was knowledgeable about the menu. However, I had to ask for basic things more than once which became annoying. I understand people have off days but it was annoying. 3.5/5 Overall, I would recommend a visit. They offer a large, the food was delicious, and the service was fast. read more

We LOVE Green Eggs and come here most every time we're downtown. For whatever reason, I've never left a review (my bad). That ends today! After sleeping in following the Eagles Super Bowl victory parade, a good brunch with bloody marys was in order. Green Eggs was right around the corner, so off we trotted. It seems that most of the city was sleeping in because, even at 10:30, we were able to get a table right away (which is unusual!) We sat down and in just a few short minutes, we were armed with menus and piping hot mugs of coffee. My dashing BF ordered the Short Rib Benedict and the regular Tito's Bloody Mary; I got the Fried Chicken Benedict (served on a Belgian waffle with a poached egg and hot sauce hollandaise OMG) and the Spicy Bloody Mary (made with Absolut Peppar). Drinks came first and they were filled to the absolute *brim*. Both were excellent and mine was as spicy as promised. A great start! Then, it was time for the Benedicts. I can't decide which was better, but they were both awesome. BF's short rib was nothing short of delectable. Super rich and delicious. My fried chicken was perfectly fried, crisp and juicy. The eggs were perfectly poached: the yolks just slightly gelatinous but runny on the inside, and that hot sauce hollandaise was off-the-charts good. Oh! Do not sleep on their creamy, cheesy grits. They are sooooooo good! Portions are huge, so we will be eating this for dinner tonight, too, but we're not mad about it. When you go, make sure to stop at an ATM because they only take cash. But Green Eggs Cafe never disappoints. See you again soon! read more
