    Egg sausage and cheese on a long roll and cheese steak special.
    Tammy V.

    Lyn's is a Solid breakfast & lunch spot near CHOP & PENN--cheap, clean, and made-to-order. Egg, sausage & cheese hit the spot, cheesesteak special slapped. Great service and Friendly vibes too.

    Nice hidden gem of a food truck. We stopped here for breakfast and got sausage, egg and cheese on a bagel. They also had regular bagels, muffins, and different sandwiches. Not only did the sandwich taste good, but the price was super affordable and the best I've seen around coming in at about $4 each.

    Lyn's never disappoints. Every time I come to Philly, I make it a mission to go to her truck. She's the most soft spoken women ever and her right hand man, her husband, works insanely efficient. I can't believe my bagel was only $5 despite being loaded with sausages,egg, cheese, and cream cheese. What a steal. One of the best bagels I've had recently!! I love you cô an chú, best of luck.

    Grilled chicken sandwich $5.50!

    My previous opinion still stands: Lyn's is the best food truck on Penn's campus She recommended I try out her bfast sandwiches. Lyn made me a egg, cheese, sausage on an everything bagel. It was only $3.50!! And a big size for the price too!!! The bagel was pressed on the grill but to my surprise was very soft and warm.

    Long Roll Sandwich

    Seeing pictures of Lyn's on peoples' Instagrams is probably the biggest reason I came to Lyn's. An apparent staple of the Penn community, I walked by on an early Wednesday morning where there was perfectly no line for me to try the famous food truck and try to satisfy my stomach. The owners of the food truck were quick to greet and eagerly ready to take my order. With the help of a friend's expertise, I got a long roll sandwich with spinach + eggs, sausage, and cheese cut in half. With nothing but food on my mind at 8:30 am, I quickly scurried home to try it. By far, this is one of the most complete breakfast meals you could want on the go. One bite and I was filled with all the feelings American breakfast foods should provide - comfort, willingness, and warmth. Succeeding at all three, I even added some sriracha to really wake me up from the food coma I was about to arrive in. If the line is short, GET IT. If it's long and you got nothing to do, GET IT. I promise you, better than 90% of the brunch areas in University City are within walking distance between 34th and 40th street. There's a reason why this is a cult favorite, so just trust what you've heard about the place and go ahead and take a bite here!

    Theres a good reason why lyns is so popular! Absolutely lovely couple and the sandwiches are perf for a quick lunch. Id only been once before pre pandemic but its just as good as i remember. I got the egg and cheese w spinach on a plain bagel. Ketchup, hot sauce, and pepper! The cheese is so perfectly gooey.

    Came here once 4 years ago when my fiancée was still a student at Penn and have been dying to come back. The same couple still runs the truck and the breakfast sandwiches are still incredible. $5 for a big , melty sausage, egg and cheese on a long roll cannot be beat. Even when it's 95 degrees out, they take your order with a smile. Great place to grab a bite, will definitely be returning to try their lunch sandwiches at some point.

    Lyn's is one of my favorite food trucks on Penn's campus. The owners are really friendly and work as efficiently as possible. The only downside though is the line can get long during breakfast and lunch rush hours, but the owners are really fast and are constantly pumping out orders. Even when the line is super long, Lyn never fails to give me a smile and ask how I'm doing. It's super affordable and you can get a large amount of food for less than $5. The food is great, fresh, and tasty too. Note that the food truck is cash only and it's only open on weekdays from 7am-3pm. I would highly recommend!

    Spinach, egg white, and cheese on rye toast.
    Courtney J.

    I really respect places that keep it simple, but do what they do really well. Lyn's is one of those places. They serve up simple but well-made breakfast sandwiches in a fast and friendly manner. After only one visit, they knew my order. Then I didn't return for a few weeks and they still knew my order on my third visit! Now that is some impressive customer service! My go-to order is an spinach, cheese, and egg white sandwich on rye toast. The egg white is always cooked perfectly, there is plenty of spinach and the cheese is all gooey and creamy. A little hot sauce and black pepper I get added at the end, gives it that kick. All this for $3! It makes a good breakfast, or a nice light lunch. The only other sandwich I have tried is the chicken special with peppers, mushrooms, and onions that comes on a long roll. It was okay, but I wasn't a huge fan of the roll it was on. If you are looking for a food truck for breakfast or lunch in University City and want something dependable, affordable, and tasty, Lyn's is your spot! The line may look long, but don't let that deter you as it usually moves quite quickly.

The inside is really modern and aesthetic, while still giving off a cozy cafe feel. Service was nothing crazy, but nothing bad either. The Yemenite Latte was a 4/10 for me. The flavor was spot on and tasted like milk with Yemeni spices and just a hint of espresso. I really wish the espresso came through more because I think that would've made it perfect. The Pistachio Sticky Bun was an 8/10 and definitely worth the hype. It was served warm and had the soft, pillowy texture of a cinnamon roll, but with a syrupy pistachio flavor. It practically melts in your mouth. The Grilled Cheese Jerusalem Bagel was basically a grilled cheese, but I loved the thin, slightly crisp shell and all the sesame seeds on the bagel. The cheese had almost a pimento cheese flavor, which I really liked. 9/10.

Our server Rachel was lovely and gave us a rundown of their specials and the menu's top hits. Our drink selections ranged from as boring as a Diet Coke to as fun as a seasonal lemonade. We were all content with our choices, though we puttered around making suggestions from their large drink menu. I typically go for a savory breakfast, but the stuffed brioche French toast was speaking to me. I can never turn down banana! The rest of our table ordered avocado toast (x2) and fried eggs with bacon. Everyone was really happy with their choices and an added bonus was that our food came out quickly. I insisted everyone at our table try a bite of my massive stuffed brioche French toast and the consensus was that it was ridiculously good. Though this spot is tiny, it is not to be missed.

Luckily, we found street parking right next to the restaurant, which was a nice surprise. When we arrived, the wait for a table of three was about 45 minutes. That's somewhat expected for a popular brunch spot on a weekend. Once seated, the service was prompt. Our waiter stopped by quickly with waters and took good care of us throughout the meal. I ordered the House Angus Burger with sweet potato fries. It was solid, flavorful, and definitely filling. My friend got the Bella Vista Omelet with home fries, and we both agreed that while the food was good, it felt like standard brunch fare rather than anything particularly memorable. Based on the long wait and the hype surrounding Sabrina's, I think we were expecting the food to really stand out. In my opinion, the dishes we tried were comparable to what you'd find at a quality chain brunch spot like First Watch. That's not necessarily a bad thing, the food was satisfying, but it didn't quite justify the lengthy wait. That said, the menu has plenty of more unique and creative options that we didn't try. I'd be open to coming back and ordering one of those specialty dishes next time. Overall, I left satisfied with the meal and service.

I made a reservation online on OpenTable. We arrived earlier than our reservation slot so we were able to walk around and take pics. Unfortunately on the night we went it was super cloudy and had been raining so the views weren't nearly as good as they could have been. There's a grand staircase that walks down into an even bigger and more open area. Up first, was a $9 hot chocolate and a $23 Bluecoat (Dirty Martini with blue cheese olives). The martini was perfect, exactly how I like it with tiny slivers of ice shards. Second, I had a $30 Gold Espresso Martini with vodka. It was also perfect. Probably the prettiest espresso martini I've ever been served. The leaf design in your drink is pretty sweet. Tons of dates here, anniversaries, vacationers, and people super dressed up. Most certainly look your best if you decide to come. Next time I'm in Philly, I'll certainly be back!
