I love greenline! they have grest coffee, i love getting a bag of beans every once in a while to have to make at home. all the baristas are also very friendly, the ambiance is nice as there's indoor and outdoor seating as well as great music always being played. the food could be more flavorful, but I still enjoy it.

Cute place!! Got a chai tea with an egg and cheese sandwich both were yummy just wish it had a little more taste to it. A little boring and not a lot of cheese. But the inside is super cute! The man working was very nice and we got there right before a line started so service was fast. Would totally go again!

Cute cafe! Has all your essentials. Was going to go to Madi's but it was closed. Mind you this was New Years Eve morning so be aware that the street is basically all closed! However, this little gem was perfect! Fiancé got coffee and I got matcha latte which was just right! They have a table of all the additions if you'd like to add to your drinks. Simple place but gets the job done for your early morning coffee needs! Also, the barista was super nice. Since this was the only coffee shop open, it got pretty packed but she was just super friendly and not cranky like how some other baristas are early in the morning! Lol

I had a really delicious iced vanilla latte here. It was 6.50 which is slightly expensive but large size which comes with 4 shots of espresso. Can't wait to swing by and try more.

Super cute place right off of Drexel's campus. Prices are awesome and they have delicious vegan options. There was only one worker there who was taking orders and preparing the food, while it was busy. Place is tiny but comforting. I can't wait to come here again for the delicious Sweet Potato Burrito.

Easy to order online. My drink was ready on arrival. They have a small selection of pastries including bagels. Vegan options too! Definitely worth a stop by when you are in the area.

Walked from Penn's campus and it was a nice little morning walk. The latte was very good, good nutty espresso flavor. Almond milk available :) I enjoyed it! Order ahead online!!! If u don't it's no big deal u just have to wait a couple more minutes.

This is a cute little cafe not too far from Penn and Drexel. I'd just had lunch with my business partner and was looking for a cafe where I could work for a few hours. Green Line fit the bill. The atmosphere was quite tranquil--it was the Saturday after Thanksgiving, so a lot of students were probably out of town still--though it's a small space and I can see getting tables here could be challenging at peak times. Overall, the environment is very pleasant. Likewise, the barista was quite friendly. After she showed me the syrup they use for the mocha--which looked like it might be a bit sweet--I opted for the matcha latte. Honestly, it was just so-so (it felt like it "separated," if that's the right word for it), and I'd probably opt for something else next time--maybe just a regular latte. But having said that, when you factor in the ambiance (though I would agree that table spacing is tight), reasonable pricing (admittedly, I'm used to LA prices), fast wifi, plug-ins and friendly service, it's at least 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

This place is seriously what dreams are made of. I love their selection of sandwiches, baked goods and beverages. I absolutely love their sweet potato burrito and their "Steve" sandwich (both are vegan.) The Steve sandwich has marinated tofu and it is amazing!! They usually have vegan Dottie's donuts too, which are incredible. The tea selection is vast and I've never been disappointed with any of them.

But don't overlook their bagels—reviewers rave about the variety and freshness. Customers have mentioned flavors that seem to linger, even if a touch more seasoning could enhance their experience. Special mentions include the sweet potato burrito, a hit for both its taste and health-conscious ingredient list.
