Greenstreet Coffee Company — Restaurant in Philadelphia

A Hidden Gem I Almost Didn’t Want to Share…

Green Street Café is one of those rare places that instantly lifts your spirit the moment you walk in. Nestled quietly in Philly, it radiates joy from the inside out. The atmosphere is warm, peaceful, and effortlessly relaxing it’s the kind of place where time slows down just enough for you to breathe deeper and think clearer.

The baristas and especially the owner, Chris are absolute rays of sunshine. Their positivity isn’t forced…it’s genuine, infectious, and honestly one of the biggest reasons I keep coming back. There’s something special about being greeted with such joy it turns a simple coffee run into a memorable experience.

As someone who often works remotely, I find this café to be a productivity haven. The energy here helps me get into a focused flow, and I always leave feeling accomplished. It’s quiet enough to concentrate, yet lively enough to feel connected to a beautiful slice of the city.

And on weekends? That’s when things get extra delightful. The café occasionally hosts local vendors, showcasing everything from artisan goods to bagels from nearby eateries. It’s a brilliant touch that adds to the community feel and gives you a taste of Philly’s creative heartbeat.

Honestly, Green Street Café is easily in my top 1 of 3 cafés in all of Philly. I hesitated to write this review because part of me wants to keep this treasure quiet. But another part of me knows the world needs more spaces like this. Uplifting, peaceful, authentic. So here it is…. if you’re lucky enough to stumble upon Green Street Café, treat it with the love...

I was visiting from out of town and quickly understood why Green Street Cafe is such a local gem. From the warm, welcoming atmosphere to the friendly baristas who made us feel right at home, everything about this place was special.

As a self-proclaimed matcha freak who’s tried matcha in way too many places, I can confidently say they know what they’re doing here. The matcha tiramisu latte (an off-menu recommendation from the baristas!) was SO GOOD - perfectly whipped, just the right amount of sweetness, and rich with real matcha flavor. The oat latte was also smooth and nutty with a comforting, well-balanced finish.

To top it all off, there was a pop-up selling fresh bagels and pastries. Yes, we tried them, and yes, the garlic cream cheese was incredible.

Whether you’re local or just passing through Philly, this is a spot...

Easily my favorite café in Philly. They rotate through a diverse and high quality set of light and dark beans and feature different ones every day on drip and they'll pour over for you to try too.

Great menu with espresso drinks, and the best matcha in Philly, even better than Chinatown spots. They whisk actual matcha powder, the drinks are always carefully made and high quality. Not a bakery cafe per se but they source some high quality pastries and croissants daily.

My favorite aspect is the community, they have a friendly and proficient team of baristas who go beyond just making your drinks. The vibe here is probably the best of all the Philly cafes to just sit down and get work down. Interior is family friendly and pet friendly. They also host weekend events with ice cream...
