Green Eggs Café — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Took my friends out to this place today thinking it would be a nice place for breakfast.

We were looking at the menu and everyone was like “hmmm… whoa! this must be a 4-seasons or Aman cafe. The prices were expensive and overpriced. Then we noticed “Cash Only”. So we had to go to the ATM to get cash. The menu is nothing fancy or special, just basic things you’ll find in any hotel cafe or standalone cafe. Then they also posted 18% gratuity will be automatically added. So not only we were paying 2x more for the food, but we were also paying for their employees wage deficit.

Ok at this point we were just thinking positive. We were telling ourselves maybe they have really exceptional food and service! So here’s the service: it took them 36 minutes to get our Food Our water was never refilled They never asked us to refill our coffee They couldn’t even open the door when we were carrying a baby and a stroller when leaving. A server literally just looked at us n walked away.

The food: A $19 Benedict that was overcooked. Homesfries were overcooked n dried. No flavors/spices added Omelet that was too dry and overcooked. Looked like something my uncle made who never cooks. Coffee was the only thing that seemed really great Pancakes or whatever those things were huge, but obviously almost $20 so why wouldn’t they be? But it wasn’t that great.

Bills for 4 people: $120+

Overall, I would not recommend this place at all. It’s those type of place where the owners are making tons of money at the backs of customers. Cash only businesses usually means they are cheating the tax system and does not submit all their income. The forced 18% gratitude is basically paying their employees while the owners opens up more places and sitting on their gold toilet.

I would never go back here again. I don’t support fraud and greedy owners. Philly has so many breakfast spots that’s amazing n...

Best breakfast i’ve had… probably ever! My boyfriend and I went around 9:30am on a Saturday and it was already packed. I wanted to get there as close to open (9:00am) as possible, because i’ve heard this spot is pretty popular. We were told to wait outside for about 5 minutes, and were seated within that time frame. By 10:00am there was a huge line forming outside, and the table next to me even asked each other "oh wow, what’s that line for?" So make sure to get here EARLY.

Now onto the food! I ordered the Crème Brûlée French Toast and Bacon. My boyfriend ordered the Creole Shrimp & Grits. We both ordered a Pineapple Breeze Cocktail, and we took 2 Crème Brûlée Lattes to go!

The french toast was AMAZING. Was cooked perfectly, and had fruit decorating it as well. One thing I must say, is that the food is very photo worthy. Had the best bacon of my life here. It was thick cut, and cooked perfectly, and i’m usually not a pork girl. I dipped the bacon in my boyfriends grits and it was AMAZING. The drinks were good as well! I unfortunately left my latte on the table, and within the 30 seconds it took to get back it was GONE due to it being filled with people, and the employees clearing the table fast (which is amazing). My boyfriend ended up spilling his in the car, so unfortunately unable to review those.

Overall ended up coming to around $80-$90 after tax and thé automatic 18% gratuity once the bill hits $50. I’m not mad about it though. Money well spent.

Parking was also a breeze! There was some sort of festival or event blocking the street in front of this place, but i was able to find some paid parking on a neighboring street, and only paid around $6 - $7 after being there an hour, hour and a half

Some notes: Come with an APPETITE. The portions are HUGE, which is good considering the price. This place is also CASH ONLY but they have an ATM inside. And once again, make sure to...

My partner really wanted to come here as this is one of their favorite places.

In addition to the place being extremely loud the forks were not clean.

After placing an order for our food and for our entrees we ordered two drinks. Well, finishing my food and after I've finished my drink. I was approached by a waitress twice about a refill.

I declined and let them know that I wasn't ready for another yet.

Ask, my partner is autistic and it was loud. We were both wearing headphones with my partner also wearing noise cancelling earmuffs and we were eating our food silently watching a movie on my phone while we ate.

About 12 minutes after we got our food (I checked) they brought us the check unprompted.

The restaurant was not full and there were many empties seats in our section. My intent was to buy more drinks after I even some more of my food. Having the check brought to me unprompted was extremely rude.

The food is okay. I had there seasonal vegan French toast. While my partner had their cereal French toast. The food was about average with her food verging on stunt food.

The portions were large but the french toast wasn't made particularly well. It was not offensive. I enjoyed the food but the experience wasn't great..

I've managed a restaurant in. I've worked as a server for many years. And I understand and make an effort to be a great customer. I still tip well and I was going to buy a lot of drinks. I was watching our time to make sure that we weren't being disruptive or taking too long.

I think that because we will watching a movie at the table. They thought that we were done or may not have liked it.

The truth is, is that my partner is autistic. It needs the air accessibility, AIDS. And no one was being disrupted, so I'm running. Frustrated and upset that we didn't even get to enjoy. The place that we went to Philly for because she loves...
