The Green Line Cafe

A popular, neighborhood coffee shop directly across the street from Clark Park. Indoor/outdoor seating and Wifi is available. The bathrooms are always clean, as is the rest of the place. It's not fancy inside but it doesn't have to be. Every time, I've gone in, there is always at least one table available, which is helpful. I've noticed that there is one employee that has been there for years, which is nice because it tells me that she likely is treated fairly to have stayed for so long. Good selection of coffee items, teas and food items (such as donuts and sandwiches). If you are plant based, they also have you covered with nut milks, sandwiches, and desert items.

Overall mediocre drinks, but they get the job done with so many options, and honestly I bumped them up purely on vibes. It felt super cozy in here-- there are a good amount of tables with outlets available, and though I expected it to be super busy because of how accessible tables are, I found that it wasn't busy at all. It was the perfect combination of people sitting along with some foot traffic. Not too quiet and not too loud. I ordered a matcha latte both times I came here. The first time, the barista recommended adding strawberry syrup to it. I love a matcha strawberry, so that sounded amazing. The strawberry is quite the artificial flavor, but it did the job and paired pretty well with the matcha. It was almost like a strawberry milk with matcha. I wish the matcha had been stronger because the strawberry was quite strong. I thought the same thing when I got a vanilla matcha the next day-- just needed more matcha in there to be satisfied with it. I loved how many syrup options they had. And it wasn't just regular syrup options that are offered in other places-- I remember there being coconut and lavender just to name a couple. I've seen a few reviews say that there's no wifi, but I definitely remember logging onto wifi. They have it posted right next to their bathroom!

I love this location, it's great for people watching because it's across from Clark Park! Green Line makes a nice cup of coffee and the staff are always pleasant. The prepared food is okay and they have plenty of vegan/vegetarian options. It's good for something in a pinch. They also sell coffee here which has saved me a few times. Unfortunately there are not many tables and it feels like there are even less than there were pre-Covid. Makes it hard to meet someone here for coffee. They don't have wifi so if you do snag a table plan to use hotspot if you need internet.

A local and very popular cafe with a number of locations around Philly. They have very tasty and fresh options for drinks and breakfast foods. I enjoy the muffins and coffee that they serve here. They also serve Dottie's doughnuts which is really neat and worth a short walk. They have a bunch of vegan and vegetarian options which surprisingly are very tasty as well. The hot cocoa is also good as they use honey as a sweetener which tastes amazing! There are many scattered around the city so it is a short walk typically or you may find parking for this one around Clark park. There is indoor and outdoor seating and a bathroom located inside. The place is small but has a quick turnaround and the line is never very long. I highly recommend this spot for breakfast!

If you happen to be hanging around Spruce Hill, or indeed the larger area of University City, consider making the Green Line Cafe part of your day. We enjoyed our double espresso and iced coffee, both served "for here." (All Green Line espressos are doubles.) We liked the vibe of the place enough to return the next morning for breakfast.I docked one star because my espresso fell a bit short of greatness; indeed I thought that I detected a hint of staleness in the beans. For breakfast on our second visit, I ordered a cortado and a macchiato. The presence of milk on each of those drinks was enough to hide the staleness that I had detected in my espresso.

Loved my iced tea and bagel! Only thing is there's no Wi-Fi here. However, I would definitely return.

Cold Brew Coffee Quest #7With the start of summer in Philly, my wife and I are determined to find the best Cold Brew Coffee that our city has to offer! No national chains allowed.-Overall Score: 3 out of 5-Pros: Prime location for West Philly Porchfest caffeine boost and airy + rustic café architecture-Cons: Singular dark + roasty flavor and served in a plastic cup

Fantastic COVID-19 protocol in place. Easy online ordering and pickup. No one is allowed in the small space except to pick up orders placed online. They have a table setup right in front with hand sanitizer, napkins etc for easy maneuvering in & out quickly. No complaints

We were excited to try this place, sadly the barista ruined our experience. The barista with the glasses is extremely rude. Don't ask any questions, she doesn't like to answer anything. Or perhaps she's racist. So if you like your lattes with a side of rudeness, check it out. Barista with the glasses: If you hate your job, find a new one. To the owners, hire kind people. You can teach them how to do the job, but frankly, you cannot teach kindness.

Very cute vibes clean bathroom Got cappuccino foamy and good. Friendly service, would bring a girl here
