The Green Line Cafe

This is such a perfect little coffee shop! The croissant, sandwich, & vegan muffin were absolutely delicious. The spicy ketchup was EVERYTHING! Loved being able to sit outside to watch people & dogs. Coffee was good too, could be stronger but maybe I just needed an espresso shot.

Cute little shop, very nice customer service. The coffee was great, the food was just ok. They only have pre-made food at this location. They have a nice seating area where you can work, read, do homework or just relax in.

This location recently started doing indoor seating again and has become a regular work spot for me. I now know that anytime I am in the city and see a Green Line Cafe sign, I can trust I will get something yummy. I like how open the space is, and it’s usually pretty quiet. The green mint tea is especially delicious.

Fresh aromatic double shot Café Latte delivered to perfection. Ethiopia Harrar Light Roast whole bean ground espresso by request on site. Delicious Oatmeal Cup prepared hot to taste.

Usually very picky when it comes to soy milk latte, but the barista here nailed it (nice choice of whatever soy brand they’ve picked too)! Ordered The Steve sandwich (vegan, marinated tofu), and almond croissant, am really happy with it. Nice food, friendly staff, would def revisit when close by.

Chill spot for matcha latte and delicious croissant 🥐🍵 nice staff, relaxing vibe. 🙂

I wish I could add photos but I ate it too quickly ! My partner and I got a regular and matcha lattes, which were so good !! We also got the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and the mozzarella caprese sandwich. We ate them both so quickly ! It tasted so fresh and made with love. Would definitely recommend !! Also the vibes ✨

My favorite coffee shop in Philly, and right in my neighborhood! Love Green Line, especially the 45th and Locust location.

Dope little place. Great ambiance, friendly staff, and good tea. I'll definitely be back. My only complaint about these hipster coffee shops is how expensive they are. This isn't a knock on Green Line Cafe specifically, but all cafes/coffee shops of the same ilk. Generally find the prices to be a little high. Will that prevent me from coming back? It won't. I'm not buying dinner, I'm just buying a tea, so it ain't gonna break me, and I liked it! So I will return.

Great service! Chai was good. Banana bread was amazing. Quiet and quaint cafe, kinda hipsterish.

Came here on a Sunday morning and it was fairly busy with people coming in and out. The service was great and fast. My friends and I did enjoy our drinks. I wouldn't go for any of their specials that they have posted up outside the cafe, better to go with staples (my friend wasn't the biggest fan of their specialty drink that she got). Though, I think there are other surrounding cafes that you can go to for better food. The cafe itself is nice and in the back of the cafe there is an area with windows and beautiful lighting, would definitely love to come back here and chill and read a book sometime.

I've been coming here for at least 12 years, and it's been going downhill for a long time now but today was the last straw. Insanely rude staff, which is kind of par for the course with indie coffee shops, it's almost charmingly retro. However $5.65 for a large iced coffee? I come to indie coffee shops to pay LESS than a sh*tty Starbucks, not twice as much. The coffee here isn't THAT great or different. (Also, I co-sign on the employees talking about customers when they think they are out of earshot. You aren't that quiet and you DEFINITELY aren't that clever, peanuts.)

If you want to hear employees talk behind your back, then this is the place. Excuse me for tipping 25% on a plain croissant ($3.25 + $0.75), since their default tip screen is $1, $2, and $3 instead of percentages like the location on Baltimore Ave (kudos to them). As soon as I picked up my pastry - which doesn't even rival Costco's or Sam's Club - the two people behind the counter started talking about how they try to be extra nice to get that $2 tip and that I was essentially being petty for putting in the effort to do a "low" custom tip instead. Yes, the vibes are that rancid. I apologize for even tipping, in that case. Also, the wooden bench I sat on is very wobbly. Every time another person moved on the bench, it could be felt, and I mean every time. I really wanted to give them a chance because they have cosy seating (sofa chairs, couches, and padded benches), but now I regret even trying. They gotta fix the energy, food, and furniture in there.

With so many Green Line Cafe's in the area, they're all pretty decent. Got an iced mocha per usual and it was eh. The service was pretty quick but the drink felt watered-down, the espresso was weak, and the chocolate didn't really add anything but a stale-ish cocoa taste. Tried one of their empanadas and it was decent, but there's definitely better places around. Love the study area however. Super spacious, filled with greenery, and great for doing work. Come here for the vibes but less so for the coffee.

Great coffee and vegan options. Friendly staff. Perfect place to sit and study or read a book.

This place is right on the line of being a great coffee shop. I got the cafe mocha and it was decent, nothing special. The staff was very friendly and the overall space was really great for working. Wifi was generally pretty fast (was free, just had to ask). Also liked that the bathrooms were gender neutral and kept pretty clean. Overall it definitely did aGREE(N) with me.

I decided to try this Green Line Cafe because it was a little off of Penn's campus and it was such a disappointing experience. I ordered a mocha and when the cashier charged me, he was eyeing at me to see whether I'd tip. When I decided not to, he made a very snarky and sarcastic comment and said "Thanks for that. I live off of tip but no big deal." I was actually about to leave a tip in cash but after that comment and attitude, absolutely not. I watched as he did the same thing towards other customers. The barista also purposefully blasted the music after I sat down, which was very petty and childish. The barista created an extremely uncomfortable and hostile environment. Tipping is not obligatory and customers can choose whether or not to tip and how much. I understand the frustrations that come with working in the food service industry. But if you treat customers as rude as you did, not only will you not be tipped but you turn people away from your store. You're turning away people who can potentially become regulars and big-tippers. Besides the rude employee, the mocha I ordered was very watery and I barely tasted the espresso. My friend also said her coffee was super sour and it wasn't drinkable. She drank half of it and couldn't finish the drink. I read through other Yelp reviews and apparently this isn't the first time that this happened at the store-- multiple different employees have received comments for being rude when a customer decides not to tip. This was an incredibly disappointing experience and I won't be coming back unless there's a drastic change in the employee's attitudes.

Hard to customize the flavor of the drinks you want. Or at least, I've not like their tea lattes very much, and I keep trying. Definitely cozy with all the options for seating, but I've tried several drinks here and I'm not sure the price justifies the product. They actually have wifi, which works pretty well, so that's a good way to get out of the house and get some work done. The baked goods and sandwiches are about average for a coffee shop, except Green Line has done vegan and vegetarian options which is a necessity for these parts. Overall, nothing crazy about this place, but they keep a clean bathroom and every time I walk by, I see a few of the same regulars chilling around. Lots of students, it seems, and near a lot of restaurants. With more people in line, service can be super slow, so unless you come at off hours, expect a wait in the cramped area up near the counter when you walk in.

Technically it's no longer The Other Green Line, but I guess that it's one of those names you can't escape once you decide to use it. The Other Green Line was the cafe that they closed down in favor of renovating another bigger spot, and calling it something like "That Other The Other Green Line" would be pretty damn confusing (and would ironically be something that I would probably do). Now they just call it Green Line Cafe which is equally similar to the other two and pretty plain. But you realize how significantly different it is the moment you bask in it's hugeness and check out a show. Just Clarifying - The Not So Other McThrill

I love Green Line Cafe. They have awesome teas, sandwiches, and baked goods. I love that their selection is 50/50 vegan/non-vegan. My favorite sandwiches are The Steve and the Sweet Potato burrito. The Steve has delicious marinated tofu with tomato and spicy aioli on ciabatta bread. The sweet potato burrito is filled with kale, black beans, and creamy aioli. Both are super savory and sweet! I love that they carry Dottie's Donuts too! You literally can't go wrong with any flavor. All are delicious. Recently I tried a sourdough pretzel from them and wow that was amazing too! This cafe is very spacious and has tons of space to work/chat.

This is my local coffee shop and I love the time I spend there. They have amazing iced teas that I often get in the summer, and make a killer mocha and chai tea latte for when I have a coffee craving.I like that this location has ample seating so there's usually a place to get work done. Also, the jerk chicken sandwich with the Sriracha ketchup hits the spot. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming!

Pleasant place for writing and coffee shop fare. Met up with a writing group and was very productive. The Jasmine green tea was superb and had a nice robust flor. The staff was pleasant and kind. I would definitely return.

Environment: Great place to get work done. There was slightly limiting seating but fortunately it was a nice day and they have outdoor seating as well.. Inside is cozy and an intimate place to talk to others, kick-back, do work, and grab a drink. Service: Definitely very attentive when giving you a drink. Please remember to tip them even though it's just a coffee/tea~ Drink: I'm not much of a coffee drinker so I'll speak on behalf of the teas. I've only tried their black teas once and I wasn't a huge fan. My usual is either Sencha or Jasmine. If you like very floral-smelling teas, this is definitely a good buy. It is very fragrant and even the hot water re-fills will probably maintain the flavor 3 times fully steeped. Price: For about $2.50 with a $1 tip, I absolutely love this place.

I use to go there a lot when I was in college. Place is always packed with people. Today I went back after a long time. They were having a open mic poetry contest. It was really cool. Coffee and service is average. Good location and plenty of sitting area inside. 4/5

Pros: This is probably the Green Line location with the most space and seating. Cons: The wifi is rather unreliable. The employee on the evening shift plays really aggressive rock music at an aggressively loud volume. It's rather stressing and anxiety-inducing at 9 PM to have to listen to hard core rock at loud volumes as well as this employee's enthusiastic singing along to the music while trying to do work. I wish there would some consistency/centralization to the playlist choice so it's not just at the whim of whichever individual employee is on shift at the time. Considering how coffee shops are usually used by people trying to get work done or have casual meetings, both the unreliable wifi and loud, obnoxious music choice seem antithetical to that purpose. Also, I wish they had some alternative mechanism to heat the food other than a panini press. It really squishes the bread (ciabatta, buns) that come with their sandwiches.

This is the worst cafe I've ever been and the worst matcha latte I've ever had. I only had one sip of my latte and couldn't drink it anymore. Even my friend's simple coffee tastes horrible as well. When I first walked in today, this place smells like bad milk. It's absolutely gross and super uncomfortable.

This is one of my favorite coffee shops in any town in America. I'm only visiting for a week and I've already been here three times and plan to return as much as possible before heading home. Their sweet potato vegan burrito is delicious, their tea selection is excellent (try Mayan chai), staff is friendly, coffee is great, and the clientele are some of the most intelligent, artistic people I've ever had the pleasure to eavesdrop on. I've gotten so much work done here I even considered moving to Philly for a hot second. This place has rosewater pistachio donuts. Who are these people giving three stars? smh

You know the holidays are in full swing when even the staff at Green Line is cheery!! I think my bagel and coffee even tasted better! In all seriousness though my past few trips here have been a delight. The thin taller guy behind the counter is so sweet, always says hello enthusiastically and waits on people right away. This place has always had one of my favorite cups of coffee in town , and now with the morale and friendliness on the rise, I'm even happier to call this my neighborhood spot. Go Green Line!

Generally enjoy the product, vibe and friendly staff...except for one rude employee with dark long hair. He always makes me uncomfortable and unwelcomed. This has been a constant since moving to the area a couple months ago. I think today's interaction was most unpleasant when he saw that I didn't tip him and said "thanks I appreciate that!" really sarcastically. He did the same thing to my friend. A note for him: I will not tip you when you continuously treat customers like garbage. Simple as that. I have the choice to spend my money how I want and I don't think ringing me up at the register should require a tip. He didn't even pour the coffee! Coming from someone who works in the food service as well, I understand the frustrations, but I'll be damned if I make a customer feel like that when they don't tip. I really want to support this place but he's making it harder and harder with every interaction.

This place total mess I get just one simple capuccino never stayed for long time but I tried this morning seems all people who sitting in there crazy one guy was shaking and eating all food what he order before with crazy hunger attitude , another groups of people were totally Holmes and stinks so bad some random guy was ruining around with the cup in his hands looks like total mad house I WlIL Never go there anymore !! If you want spend your morning in MAD HOUSE that's is right place for you !!good luck

Second time here. The lattes do not disappoint!

I live local to this cafe & am a big fan of their Lattes. The large latte has 4 shots of Espresso so you are definitely getting your money's worth. I haven't tried their food but they have a nice menu. The inside is very cute & comfortable. They also have outdoor seating for warmer days.

I love this little coffee shop! They have vegan nomz as well as other options for meat eaters in the sandwich department. The space is open and clean and seems like a great place to grab a table to study or just hang out. Outdoor seating for pups is always a plus as well! Friendly staff, coffee is great and food is delightful. A+!!!

I have stopped by here before for a coffee (which has been good, solid house brew), but last night was my first time coming in to sit. I was overjoyed at the selection of fresh fruit, and even more excited when a fresh, juicy orange and crisp, perfect apple + a large decaf green tea with ginger rang up to only $4.05. A deal in my book. Loved that the place wasn't jam packed at 6pm, unlike many other nearby coffee shops. We got a seat easily on a big comfy couch. Loved also (BIG PROPS) that Green Line is open late - none of this 7pm shut down that most coffee shops do. Location is great. Love the big windows that look out onto Locust and 45th. The one staff member that served us last night was polite, quick and pleasant. One downside was faulty WiFi. I will definitely be back, though, and look forward to another amazing cup of tea.

The pros: Lots of space, which is mostly empty and useful for reading and decompressing during a workday (that was my use, at least) Good, strong coffee. WiFi friendly. The cons: WiFi? It worked less than half of the time I was there. Somewhat snarky service. Maybe not exactly "snarky," but less than enthusiastic. Overall, a good cafe which deserves another trip from me next time I am in the neighborhood. One last note: They only sell the New York Times. I dont get that. We are in West Philly, and I cant even get an Inky? Lots of cafes and their patrons champion the "local" life when it comes to living responsibly, yet their journalism is always imported from New York or DC. I dont get it. The last bastion of true journalism in the city is dying before our eyes and if places like Green Line dont support its continued existence, e will all be getting our local news from the idiot box before we know it.

The vegan cookies!! So good!! It's a little pricy, but you get a lot, so it evens out. I had the Mexican Chocolate, the Chocolate Chip, and the banana oatmeal cookie! I gotta say the Mexican Chocolate was the best! It wasn't too spicy, but enough so you got a little kick to your aftertaste. All the cookies were a little crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside--just the way I like it!! :) The seitan sandwich was ehh...but I have yet to try the famous Sweet Potato Wrap. It looks like its a winner so ill have to try that sometime. The place itself was cute, kinda small so it's a good on the go kind of place. Very friendly people too :)

This cafe has been a life saver for the past couple of weeks. I live just a minute away, so whenever I'm feeling distracted at home, I hop on over to Green Line and get on my study grind! I honestly don't know too much about coffee, but I've ordered a latte here a few times and never had any complaints. I've also tried their teas - peppermint tea and lemon tea - which were both very warm and soothing. The only complaint I have is their dim lighting (I had to use my wonderful photo editing skills to brighten up the picture I posted). I usually get here pretty late and stay here until they close (9pm on Mondays-Saturdays, not 10pm!), and my eyes start to really hurt by the time I leave. But other than that, this is a great cafe to meet up with friends or to study by yourself!

I've been going here for years but I really can't deal with the super rude barista with a horrible attitude anymore (the one with the long black hair). He makes me super uncomfortable and feel unwelcome for no reason at all. I live right next to this green line but make the trek to Baltimore Ave for the friendly and helpful service there.

I usually go to the Green Line on 43rd, where the drinks are always good and people are nice. However, once in a while I opt here when I feel like doing some work, since the other location has no internet. This place is bigger, but doesn't mean better. I've never seen anyone clean tables here, so pretty much always dirty with trash all over the floor. Drinks have been made incorrectly about half of the times I've been here, even though the menu is the same as the one in 43rd! Lastly, when the only reason I come here is for internet but their internet is commonly down, it defeats the purpose of coming here. Overall an ok place when things are working correctly, but usually a disappointment.

Neighborhood feel coffee shop full of hipsters and grad students. Lots of good snack options (tried the blueberry donut and want to try the potato salad) with reasonably priced coffee beverages. We went with the cafe au lait and loved it! Free wifi as well. If you want to get away from the students / university city, this is the coffee shop to go to. Quiet, somewhat hidden, but also upbeat with light music and locals enjoying coffee on weekends.

Let's get one thing straight: This is the hipster mothership. Now, let me clear the air. It's not that I don't like hipsters. I mean, some of my best friends are hipsters, etc. etc. But Green Line is just ridiculous. It's where hipsters send their hipster friends that they're too embarrassed to hang out with because of how effin' hipster they are. The too-hipster-to-hang-out-with-other-hipsters-hipsters come here, meet other too-hipster-to-be-a-hipster-hipsters, drink lousy coffee, ride their homemade bikes home, and make little environmentally-friendly hipster babies. So. Hipsters. Just so long as we're clear. Clientele aside, there are a host of things that annoy me about Green Line. First and foremost, the coffee is lousy. It's a weird combination of burned- and watery-tasting that just isn't good. At a coffee shop, this is a deal breaker. Second issue, and this is a personal pet peeve, is the bagel situation. When you order a bagel with cream cheese, you receive a (barely toasted) Lenders-esque bagel, a pod of cream cheese, and a knife. IMHO, to be a good cafe, your cream cheese should come out of a vat. Less wasted plastic pods, more cream cheese on my bagel, minimal extra work for baristas. Third issue. Cash only, and their ATM is often broken. Taking credit cards is *not that hard,* people. A few things in their favor (?) include vegan baked goods, expensive prepackaged Vietnamese hoagies, and gluten-free stuff. It's great if you're into that kind of thing.

Call my crazy, but I don't rate a place based on who hangs out there. Hating hipsters has become trendier than hipsters themselves. I guess I don't go here at hipster'o'clock, because it seems to attract all ages. College kids, the elderly and everything in between. I drink a lot of coffee and I consider Green Line's coffee to be above average. What really keeps me coming back is their selection of vegan food. Vegan chicken salad, 'The Steve,' and the Sweet Potato Burrito... all delicious! I can't ever resist grabbing a pack of vegan cookies, which are quite tasty. My boyfriend hates coffee, but their large selection of teas appeals to him. Friendly staff! My only complaint-- Dear Owner, get these guys a better sandwich-heater-upper! ASAP! It shouldn't take 10-15 minutes to warm pre-made food. This deters me from grabbing a burrito for breakfast on my way to work.

yay for a new Green Line! Big, airy, bright, with indoor and outdoor tables. And wifi! My only issue here is that there are literally 2 outlets for, oh, 15 or so tables. Seems like this would be a high priority for a coffee shop opening this far into the 21st century. So charge up before you go, or you may be left on the side of the information superhighway (note retro-hip terminology). do note that this is on the corner of 45th and Locust, not 43rd.

I think that Green Line largely succeeds in the absence of serious competition. If an Ultimo, Elixr, Shot Tower, or Bodhi were within 3 miles of it, Green Line would be in trouble. The space is good enough, which does compensate a little for the fact that I've never had a great cup of coffee there, or even a good one. Probably the best sign that Green Line doesn't have to try to do anything particularly well in order to make enough money to keep three locations open is that they don't hesitate to close a half hour or more in advance of their posted close time. If you kick ten customers out of your store half an hour before you said you would, it means you don't really think you need those particular customers. So while Green Line is an improvement on the old computer repair shop that filled the space a number of years ago, it's not really a coffee shop that you can ever recommend with enthusiasm to anyone.

Greenline Haiku Surly hipsters make a mediocre latte; Gold Standard's better

I feel like a carpetbagger when I visit the Green Line because I don't live in West Philly. I used to lived in West Philly before the Green Line opened so I am experiencing it as an outsider. My boyfriend lives a few doors from the cafe so I have stopped in quite a bit. The place is usually quite crowded on weekends so I have felt nervous and skittered out of there with my to go coffee. I love the outdoor seating and I sip my coffee and marvel at the Best House across the street. It used to be named the Wurst House and I still think that switch is hilarious. Sitting outside and gazing at Clark Park (fenced in at the moment), I want to move back to West Philly. This neighborhood is amazing and I miss grass, trees, and the people. I have one small request to make to the Green Line. I asked for tomato on my bagel and cream cheese and they said they don't do that. Please, help me live a fantasy that a bagel is a nutritious meal. A splash of tomato, pepper, or onion would please me.

Coffee's alright, but nothing to write home about. The sandwiches are pretty great, though. I don't know why everyone seems to complain about the hipsters. This is a coffeeshop in the heart of West Philadelphia, what do you expect? I've always found the service to be average. This place, however, has the worst wifi. It could be a lot of problems, but mainly I think it's that they won't get a decent, business-sized router, and won't buy enough bandwidth to really make it conducive to more than 3 people on the internet at once. When you ask the barista about the problem, all they can do is say, "uhhhhh, all I can do is reset the router." What a shame/sham.

The girl who worked there was very rude!!! She watched me to tip her and when I didn't do it with on my debit card, she sarcastically said "Thank you I appreciate that!". Although I tipped with cash later, and I usually tip in cash, I was really mad at her attitude! And she wasn't even the person who took my order! She was just standing on the side! The place is ok but I don't want to see her again.

I like the other Green Line Cafe located on Baltimore street more. It's just a bummer that the Baltimore location doesn't have wifi, and is a bit more cramped. There are a lot more places to sit in this Green Line, but it tends to be more students and hipsters, compared to families at the other location. Apparently baristas work at both locations because I have seen them rotate. I really think paying the extra money for fair-trade coffee is worth it. I'm not a coffee aficionado, but I can tell the difference in their coffee compared to Starbucks.

Slow service, not all baristas are knowledgeable about what an espresso or cappuccino should look like. Most of all, very very pricey, but hey, it's always full of people. I guess if people have nothing better to compare it with, they accept any price.

The Green Line on Locust is a nice, big space with a strong internet connection and plenty of outlets for your laptop. It's a good place to sit and mooch internet all day. Cafe-wise, though, it's mediocre. There's not a big selection of food, and none of it is made fresh and on-site-- they just sell pre-wrapped little sandwiches and cookies and such. The Vietnamese hoagies are decent, but not very filling. Most importantly, the coffee is bad. Bad coffee at a cafe is a dealbreaker for me. Also they tend to keep the little carton of soy milk sitting out on the counter all day instead of refrigerating it, so it usually has a funny taste. They do have a large selection of loose teas, which they keep in big canisters behind the counter and scoop out for you into a homemade tea-bag thing when you order a cup. They put a lot of tea in there, so you can get a free refill of hot water and have a very flavorful second cup. In fact, if they marketed themselves as a tea place and didn't sell coffee at all, I'd probably give them 3 or 4 stars. But there's no excuse for selling very bad coffee and or spoiling your soy milk. I also find the guy who works there on weekdays to be very irritating. He's spacey at best. The service there is pretty dismal in general.

I used to live by the Green Line on Balti and now live two blocks from this one. I drink coffee every day of my life. However, I never find a reason to justify going here, to either of them. There is nothing cozy about it and I really think that they should be going for such a vibe. Tables are also pretty sparse for such a large space, which also results in an emptiness that saddens me, as if I were in a warehouse. I feel as if the entire interior could disappear overnight with the wind. The coffee... not great. Small portions for the price. I feel as if I must force down the mochas and chai lattes. They have some novel vegan options, which is a credit to their politics and culture (and earns an extra star), but that only takes them so far in earning my allegiance. I also need a good product.

The Other Green Line has since relocated to the southeast corner of 45th & Locust. Basically, the new location covers all the cons from the previous location: there is plenty of light streaming through the huge windows, lots and lots of space that will aim to accomodate for Green Line shows, and the return of outdoor seating! You won't be quite as awkwardly privy to everyone's conversations anymore. And, get this: there are more outlets for yr laptops. Hallelujah. The space itself is simple, but gorgeous, and the selection of coffee drinks, bagels, pastries, and sandwiches remains the same as it ever was. Which is great. What a great addition to the corner. I expect lots of lazy hanging out to occur here.

Sorry, I don't like to write negative reviews, but this place needs improvement in the following areas: WiFi: Internet connectivity is spotty. My belief is that if your business claims to have internet connection, it should be reliable. I took a timed midterm for an online course, and as I submitted, sadly realized that my internet connection had been lost. If the professor had not been understanding about the situation, this could have been a catastrophe. Snippy employees: We know its really hard to deal with hipsters all day, but still treat people patiently. I remember coming up to the counter to ask a question about the internet, and the male employee yelled out the store was now closing. There were 30 minutes left until official closing, so it made me wonder if he was trying to teach me a lesson..lol. This being said, the food selections and coffee are tasty. I would recommend "The Steve", a spicy tofu (or perhaps Seitan) ciabatta sandwich that can be pressed. This place has great potential if it could get issues resolved. I love the layout and general atmosphere.

Coffee is AMAZING! They also brew their own chai for Chai lattes!! Lots of space for work and a good mix of people.

This looks like it could be a great place. Positive things: Bagels were fresh, coffee was ok, some nice veggie choices. Negative things: The guy waiting on me had long, disheveled hair, which was not pulled back and was all over the place. I paid almost 13.00 for 2 bagels with cream cheese, sm coffee, oj, and a plain croissant. When I got to my car and opened the bag the bagels were not wrapped in anything, just thrown in a paper bag, and 3 little cups of Philly cream cheese and a plastic knife floating around the paper bag with the uncovered bagels For that much money the least they could do was put the cheese on and wrap the bagels. I know it sounds petty but if I had time to do all that I would have ate there. It's over priced and the service is mediocre. I will not be returning. I can get bad service for cheaper at Dunkin donuts.

I never really saw myself as having a "favorite coffee shop" or identifying so strongly with a cafe.... until I started coming into this Green Line location. The staff has always been incredibly helpful, friendly, funny, and nice. The drinks are good and fairly priced. The food is great (I stick mostly with bagels and the occasional muffin.) My favorite menu item is the multigrain bagel - it's nutty, flavorful, and so delicious. I look forward to ordering it every chance I get. Yes, the tables are ultra wobbly (you are likely to spill your hot coffee.) Yes, it can get a bit crowded at the counter while the barista makes drinks. Yes, people seem to park here for a few hours. But, having said all of that - it feels like a cozy, inviting, and relaxing place to spend a quiet Saturday morning. (I'm aware I sound a little bizarre praising a cafe, but I love it so much and I'm so happy that it's a ~30 second walk from my apartment.)
