One of the best tofu banh mi I've ever had! All the elements were perfectly balanced in terms of flavor and proportion (tofu that must have been baked, pickled veggies, vegan mayo, cilantro, a totally delicious roll, etc). Just an outstanding sandwich! Quick to-go ordering, welcoming atmosphere (would have stayed but had to run). Will be my regular lunch any time I find myself in Old City. Thank you! read more

Outstanding! Quiet, charming, tasty, friendly. Everything you want in a little brunch place. Will be back tomorrow! read more

Cafe Square One - Iced Chai Latte Iced Coffee - Salad Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

A nook worth exploring, where the portions are generous, the staff is welcoming, and may even host the next best writers. There is not too many tables but plenty of high top counter space to enjoy street views. There are also two small tables out front as well. After ordering at the counter we sat outside and our food was brought out to us with in ten minutes. We got an Italian melt, chicken pesto, and southwest chicken salad. The sandwiches were warm melted goodness and the salad was a refreshing but very large portioned. We would go back here again and again. read more

Service was great, but the food was mediocre. The eggs needed more flavour, little salt would've made it taste better. I also came across two short hairs in my egg sandwich - probably just my unlucky day. read more

I got their classic breakfast sandwich with sausage. The egg in the sandwich was incredibly well textured and the flavor of the sausage was great (pause). Overall a 9/10 sandwich. The decor has room for improvement, but we are here for the food aren't we? Would recommend taking the food and eating it in front of the Independence Hall where some dudes debated and wrote the declaration of independence (there's a park with benches across the building) read more

First time visiting Philly and this cafe was right down the street from our hotel. Let me say-this was an incredible find. I went for lunch on day 1 and had the tuna panini. Lunch was so good that I went back for breakfast the next morning and had the T-Rex on a plain bagel. Oh my goodness, it was absolutely delicious. 10/10. Highly recommend for fresh, delicious options. Ordered via the website which was a breeze. Service was quick and the establishment itself is cute and nicely decorated with local wall art. Thanks for the delicious memories!!!!! read more

The food is good, great even - but they really should make over the space and exterior. It's not very inviting nor contemporary. They must be missing out on a lot of tourist money. I'd also love if they brought in a vegetarian sausage for their breakfast sandwiches. read more

Great avocado toast with eggs. Service was fast, but the Asian woman who took my order seemed indifferent. No good morning or a welcome smile. Maybe she was in a bad mood this morning, but the cooks were fast and efficient. The place is small, and could use some heavy cleaning. However, the food tasted home cooked, and the coffee was delish. read more

I had the protein bowl & an iced coffee with almond milk. Both were very large portions; I couldn't finish the protein bowl. The salad itself was delicious though; the candies pecans really make a difference! Coffee was good. Only reason I'm giving a 4 is because : the prices were a little high ($10 for the salad bowl and $5 for the coffee). Also, the restaurant itself was rather dirty; no clean tables & there were bits of food under my table everywhere. Otherwise, felt like a nice find in center city! read more

Came here with my kids the day after Christmas. It just wasn't good. To start, the cafe itself was cold. This isn't totally their fault given it was about 20 outside, but the door kept staying open with people coming and going. At one point they were getting a delivery and left the door open freezing everyone inside. We sat and ate with our jacket and hats on. My wife had the Sunrise Sammies (bagel, eqqs, bacon, hash browns, cheese). The eggs were so yellow that I'm not totally sure they were real eggs. I had the Swedish Fish (lox and bagel), which was loaded with tomato to hide the fact there was barely any lox. My son had a simple bagel and cream cheese. All three bagels were so hard, they were all almost uneatable. My son broke a bracket on his braces, which now needs repair. He couldn't eat his at all. Maybe this is all due to the holiday and unavailability of fresh bagels, but please don't serve them (at least without a warning). To be clear, this wasn't a case of overtoasting. My daughter had a tropical smoothie, which she really enjoyed, earning a second star to this review. We asked for a few cups of water, which they brought us, and were steaming hot. That was just weird. It wasn't in a mug where maybe they thought it was for tea... Maybe we caught this place on a bad day, and I'll cut them some slack being after a major holiday, but I would have expected better given other reviews. read more

Good breakfast but a little pricey. They play pretty good music! Service was very prompt and courteous.

I came in for a quick and easy lunch on Friday afternoon and loved their protein bowl! This place is great for anyone looking for a to go lunch that's healthy and fresh. It's a small place, so I wouldn't recommend coming with a large group but there was plenty of seating when I came during lunch. They offer a lot of different options from salads, paninis and sandwiches. It was difficult to just choose one but their protein bowl was wonderful! I substituted the greens for spinach but that's just a personal preference. The ingredients were fresh and it was so filling. There was a bit of a wait but once it arrived, it was worth it! The chicken was cooked perfectly with lots of flavor and moist. I also enjoyed the other add-ins to the salad. The staff here are really friendly and great with helping you make a decision, for those of us who are always indecisive like me :) I would love to come here all the time for lunch however I was just here for the weekend, but definitely would recommend to others looking for a great lunch spot. read more

Absolutely loved this restaurant! Went in for lunch the first day, ordered the apple salad, and the flavors were on point. The apples were sweet and crisp, the cheese was nice and salty, and the candies walnuts were delicious as well. Also had the strawberry salad, and it was so fresh and delicious as well. This made my husband and I want to come back for breakfast the next morning and we weren't disappointed. The oatmeal was delicious, it had strawberries and blueberries, almonds, and honey and the flavors were just phenomenal. My husband ordered the eggcelent sandwich and it was delicious as well. All the flavors here are so fresh, I loved this place. My husband continues talking about it, three days after we left saying he wishes we could go there for breakfast again! The coffee was also really great here, and the chai latte. read more

Oh my~lanta...YUM! First time eating here in The City of Brotherly Love so I Yelped it. Thank you Yelpers for the guide! This quaint little sandwich place is amazing ~ great choice of salads and sandwiches too. I ordered the Jewish Hoagie...corn beef, roast beef, turkey and swiss cheese. They were out of hoagie buns so suggested focaccia bread. Great choice! Lettuce, tomato onion and Russian dressing was a great combination. The fact that my sandwich didn't have the swiss cheese (not my choice) didn't matter to me ~ it was delicious! My husband had the Turkey Hummus Wrap and totally got wrapped into it! Said it was really good. We rounded out our lunch with a Pumpkin Cinnamon Sugar muffin :) read more

Grabbed a quick lunch and it did not disappoint. I like when a place is busy because that means the food is going to be fresh :) It's a little small inside with a few tables to sit and enjoy. I had the Caprese Panini. It was everything I expected it to be and more. The mozzarella was fresh and the pesto tasted great. I'd go for a quick bite and they have a variety of sandwiches and salads for all. :) read more

Grade-A food and a bunch of creative lattes/drinks! Highly recommend for a quick coffee stop or lunch break

I ordered a chicken Caesar salad for pickup through Yelp Eat 24 today and enjoyed my smooth experience. My salad was prepared as requested (no parmesan cheese, sesame dressing on the side) and ready for pickup when I arrived. This is one of the best Caesar salad that I've eaten in a while: fresh romaine lettuce, well-seasoned tender grilled chicken breast, a sliced hard-boiled egg, and a loaded portion of crunchy garlicky croutons (I'm even not a fan of croutons, but I finished all of them with the salad and later as snack). The sesame dressing added a twist to a not-so-Caesar salad as I liked it. I'll definitely come back to try other goodies here! read more

Healthy and quick. Ordered online and picked up. Order was correct and decent portions. Convenient location.

Hole in the wall... or should I say Gem in the wall. I remember walking by this place and was like, uhhh, they serve sushi and burritos. I'm In!! When you walk into the cafe, it gives off a hipstery feel and it delivers that as well. If you look at the menu, there were sandwiches, sushi, burritos, salads, smoothies, etc, etc. So no matter what you are in the mood for, you will find it here. I can guarantee that. I got the Sushi combo 1 (spicy tuna roll, avocado, and shrimp tempura) with a miso soup. My buddy got the Sushi combo 3 (philly roll, salmon avocado, and salmon roll) with a salad. His salad came out first and it looked amazing (actually had spinach instead of romaine lettuce). This is the great part, I asked the waitress and she changed my miso soup to a salad! That was pretty awesome. As for the sushi, mine was pretty good. I can't say the same for my friend's as the fish was cooked, which was weird. Definitely recommend and I would come visit again when I'm in Old Town. read more

Ordered a delicious wrap for takeout! I have tried their smoothies and sandwiches in the past. So many options and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend for a quick breakfast or lunch takeout! read more

Run to the self-serve menu and smash the breakfast sandwich button. Do yourself a favor and add the maple pork and apple wood bacon on the brioche bun. Even the toasted bagel with cream cheese is delicious. The charm of this place exceeds its humble footprint in Philly, and the only detractor is the time you'll wait for the food to be prepared. But that's because it's a small staff who are working diligently to tend to multiple phone ahead orders. A fantastic breakfast menu for anyone at an affordable price. Love this place. read more

While the food is decent, I have to mention the absolutely terrible customer service. I ordered a meal and latte (with oat milk, vanilla, and Iced- so it was $7) for pick up. My mom picked up my order for me and she asked "is this everything?" And they said yes. They didn't give her the iced latte or even make it yet. I called the store once my mom got home and there was no latte. They said they couldn't give me a refund because I ordered online and they aren't associated with that platform. I was confused and asked why I would have to pay for something I didn't receive. They said there was absolutely nothing they could do for me besides making me a new one if I came back. I was already home and told them I just wanted a refund but they couldn't do that for me. Very disappointing because the food wasn't half bad (also wasn't great either). read more

Great little cafe! Had the mango chicken salad and a hazelnut iced coffee. Both were even better than expected. Service is quick and ordering is ready. Highly recommend! read more

Good fresh food. Lots of options and generous portions. Buffalo Chicken Wrap was tasty

I came here for lunch on a Saturday and it was pretty good. The place wasn't crowded so service was quick. They have an extensive menu of salads, wraps, paninis including lots of vegetarian options. I also loved how many healthier options were available since I am trying to eat better. Ordered at the counter and our food was served within 5 minutes. I ordered the Southwest Salad. Everything in it was fresh and delicious. The grilled chicken still had some juiciness to it, which can be a challenge for some places. Overall a good experience. I am looking forward to coming back to try the tofu bahn mi. read more

The place looks like a hole in the wall (and nothing is wrong with that!) and the food is incredible! My partner is very picky about what they eat and absolutely loved it. We shared a bagel sandwich and a breakfast burrito, and each got a coffee. The coffee was really good - highly recommended! Also, if you like Taylor Swift's music you'll like it here because that's all they played. :) read more

I came here once during a trip to Philadelphia. It was a chilly morning and I felt pretty hungry. I got their fully loaded sandwiches (maplewood smoked bacon, avocado, egg, tomato, greens and cheese) and hot milk. The sandwich was one of the best I've had in my memory. So many ingredients and so yummy! The breakfast here lighted up my day. read more

Tired of expensive breakfast at our hotel. The food was great and the service was outstanding

Wonderful find for breakfast this morning. Great service and unique food offerings, plus the normal breakfast stuff, as well. Good coffee. Definitely go for breakfast, brunch or lunch, you won't be disappointed. read more

A staple in the neighborhood. Great breakfast and coffee. Their iced mocha is my go to.

At first I did not understand why this run down hole in the wall had such good reviews. But I put my faith in Yelp and I'm very happy to say that the BELLO sandwich is the best vegetarian sandwich I've had! read more

Came here for a light lunch and it was better than expected - chicken pesto panini, pear salad, chipotle wrap....no disappointments! Prices decent as well, especially if searching for under $10 to eat. Friend got a vanilla latte and said it was good! Update: still good! Love the service and love that I can get unique flavors like Lavender read more

This is an outstanding place with a large menu and everything you could want for breakfast or lunch. We were in Philly for a week and ate here 4x. The hot veggie panini with pesto and cheese was fabulous. It was light and crispy with warm tender veggies inside. We also had smoothies and coffee which were terrific. This is an underrated place. I had the best breakfasts here. read more

The food here is always amazing. Plenty of healthy salad options and delicious paninis. They also have plenty of smoothie options. I recommend the Apple salad: spinach, feta, Fuji apples, chicken, craisins, pecans and a raspberry vinaigrette. Energy booster smoothie: strawberry, blueberry, banana, spinach, almond milk, and chia seeds. It is a very tight space and crowded around 12:00. Prepare for a long wait during this time or order online!! read more
