Had a delicious lunch at Greek from Greece in university city. Popular restaurant close to Drexel. Spacious dinning area with outdoor seating. Went for hot bar. Many menu options. Salmon was delicious! Added fresh vegetables, rice, tzaziki, hummus and peta bread. Sat outside on a beautiful summer day. Spoke with the owner, who is very easy to talk to and passionate about his restaurant. He is a Greek American and Philly native. Keep a look out for the Greek from Greece food trucks at major events in Philly over the summer. read more

Visit GFG regularly to meet up with people who go to Drexel or to do some work on campus when I need a change of scenery. Recently, I was having a quick afternoon meet-up with some friends. Coffee is pretty OK, but the selection of Greek pastries and food is pretty wide. I've had the food before, which I found to be just OK, but the pastries (esp. the spanakopita) was spot on and delicious. I had some non-coffee drinks recently, and they were good enough to feel refreshed, but nothing to phone home about. Lots of seating here, but usually a lot of it is taken by Drexel student groups working. Back room has a lot more but is also strangely dim, so I'd honestly have a hard time if I was found to be working back there. Front seating though is nice with the natural lighting! For some reason they were blasting music today at a level that made it difficult to work even through AirPods. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something about Greek cafes in particular, but it wasn't the greatest environment. Service is always prompt. I've found it to not always be the friendliest but they get the job done. Late hours are a plus amongst cafes in U-City, so I'll still stop by. read more

This place was like Disneyland for Greeks! It is a cafe/restaurant/bakery/hangout. They have everything from spanakopita, to pastitsio, souvlaki, Freddo Cappuccino, and even gemista! They also carry all the standard Greek chocolates and cookies as well as Greek sodas. Dimitri was very nice and hospitable! I can't wait to go back and try the rest of their menu!! read more

This is the perfect cafe - they have tons of seating, good drinks at a reasonable price compared to other places in the area, and a plethora of food options! WiFi isn't super fast but is available (password is GTGPhilly) I came midday on a rainy Saturday and it was packed, which I expected, but I was still able to find a seat. I got a drink and baklava to have a snack while I worked. The baklava was two huge pieces. I told myself I would eat one now and save the other for later, but it was so good that I was tempted to eat the whole thing right then! The cafe was half students working and half people grabbing lunch with friends. It's definitely not a quiet place, but I personally liked that. They have wifi and very clean bathrooms. This is about to be my new go to spot in UCity! read more

Loved it here! The staff behind the counter was friendly and gave us recommendations since it was our first time there! I got a bowl with half rice, half potatoes, beef, zucchini, broccoli, and the salad on the side. I also got baklava, where the man behind the counter scooped up the sugar syrup and extra pastry bits in the serving tray into my to-go container. If you're in the area, I would check GFG out! They serve coffee and have plenty of seating if you're looking to do work somewhere. read more

Great lunch place for pastries/bowls/etc.! Went and got a lunch special bowl, where I got to pick each component. The worker helping me was super friendly and gave me great recs. My favorite parts of the bowl were the salmon and the zucchini! Salmon was rich and lots of flavor and the zucchini was a little smoky. In combination with the carbs and other veggies, it was a great meal- super filling for about $15. The mocha was not that good though, so I'd probably stay away from the coffee. Watered down and not a strong espresso back. read more

I don't think I've ever felt compelled to write a review before, but this place is GREAT! Walked over here with some friends around 9am and was greeted very warmly by the front of house staff, and then again by the owners working as bakers in the back. There was a very homey and welcoming vibe. The freddo (something like an iced americano topped with cold milk foam) was delightful. The espresso was bright without being too acidic. The foam had tight enough bubbles that it didn't just collapse on drinking, but was sturdy to meet the task. If you get this (which I definitely recommend), ditch the straw and lid and just drink it. This way, as you tilt the cup back to drink, the espresso gets pulled through the milk foam and it mixes just as it hits your mouth. I also got a pastry. I don't know if this is the regular schedule, but right when we got here at like 9:30, there were some sweet pastries coming literally fresh off the tray. Like steaming hot fresh. I have never seen that happen in any college town cafe I've been to before... EVER. That's amazing. (Well, there are some other cafes that do this, but they definitely feel quite a bit more pretentious and far less down to earth.) This place apparently used to be a pizza joint, so they have all the equipment necessary to bake everything in house. Every other hip, good-vibes, college-town cafe I've been to gets their pastries shipped in via some truck. The hostess running the front of house was very helpful and accommodating. They just opened, so they're still figuring things out (e.g. having everything stocked, having all the machines ready, etc.), but she was very good with directing us toward other options, that, to be honest, might actually have been better than what I thought I wanted in the first place. All in all, would definitely recommend. Plus they got good wifi and a reasonable outlet situation, with good lighting that's neither too harsh nor too moody. read more

LOVE this place! This spot used to be a pizza joint, so I'm glad it changed to healthy, Greek food. The workers were so nice in helping me decide what I wanted. The food is so fresh. I went with the bowl. Base, meat, two sides, and a side salad for a super good price. I also got an iced black tea that was super good and not bitter at all. The place is also decorated so nice and everything is so clean-- even the bathrooms were spotless. I finished the meal and was greeted by who I assume is the owner. He asked me if I enjoyed the food and I definitely did and finished everything. He even took my trash for me! Overall, I love this place and cannot wait to try their sandwiches, coffees, and their pastries. They have good hours too so if you want to study, you definitely can. They also offer beer for those who might be wondering. I can't say enough good things about this place and I cannot wait to come back! read more

We got the Dankaroo soft serve (vanilla and cinnamon swirl dunked in cookies and cream coating). The coating was very sweet, but the soft serve itself was not too sweet and a very nice texture. The texture was a bit more icy than traditional soft serve (which I prefer). The shop is very casual and does not offer any seating that I saw. Maybe they offer seating at an earlier hour, but not when we went.

I stopped in during the Rittenhouse Row Festival to play some games and pick up some fun swag! The staff are helpful! It's great to have a place where you can ask questions and get info about your accounts.

This is a review of Capital One as a bank and of the Capital One Café at 17th and Walnut in…read morePhiladelphia. I've had accounts with nearly a dozen banks over the years, and Capital One stands out as my favorite. They strike a rare balance between digital innovation and authentic, in-person service, and this location exemplifies that in a distinctive way. Capital One's app is excellent, intuitive, reliable, and more comprehensive than most. Features like Zelle are seamlessly integrated, and overall, it feels like a true "hub" for managing your finances. Additionally, Capital One's ATM network is impressive. I've been able to withdraw funds fee-free across platforms like Venmo, Chime, and PA unemployment, which I haven't seen matched elsewhere. The machines themselves are highly functional, offering deposits and multiple bill denominations, with a level of flexibility you don't typically see. What's more, you can withdraw cash without your debit card by scanning a QR code displayed on the ATM screen using the app on your phone, which is incredibly helpful if you ever lose your wallet or find yourself without it. For added convenience, inside the branch, there's a dedicated machine that issues cashier's checks digitally. This greatly simplifies and accelerates what is typically a manual, time-consuming task. The 17th and Walnut café is impressive--the coffee is genuinely good, and the 50% discount for Capital One account holders is a great perk. It also serves as a free coworking space with reservable breakout rooms, adding real utility and a strong sense of community. Above all, the people and culture here foster a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The team is consistently courteous and approachable. Special thanks to Jessie (sp?) with the Capital One sneakers, who is always exceptionally friendly, offers treats for our dog, and connects so well with our kids. All of this exemplifies the broader Capital One culture, which is rare in financial services. I'm a big supporter of both this branch and the broader Capital One brand. Thank you!

Matcha Panda Cafe

Stumbled upon MPC on our way back from dinner and HOLY CRAP, THIS PLACE IS SO CUTE!…read more Loved the overall ambiance, the green aura, and also loved that the entire menu had pictures to help clients decide what they wanted to try. I got the Ube Ice Cream and cannot wait to try more things off the menu!

I came in from California and immediately started searching for a matcha spot. I was in the area…read moreand came across it. They offer samples of their soft serve flavors! I personally thought the matcha one was the best. The service was quick and informative. And I loved the little booths they had, it was adorable. That aside, I do think the drinks are mediocre. I ordered their most popular, Mango Matcha and their Hojicha Latte. Sadly I was disappointed, the mango matcha was VERY sweet, but the texture was creamy. I just couldn't get over the overpowering sweetness of the mango puree, but that's my personal preference. The mango flavor itself wasn't bad! Maybe half sweet would be the way to go, Im not sure if they do adjustments. If you love yuzu, I don't recommend their yuzu soft serve HOWEVER their matcha soft serve is pretty yummy Their Hojicha was watery...I really hoped it would be better. I don't recommend it. No further comments.

I have no idea what all I ordered, but I got 3 classic ones that you can get mostly anywhere, and then I got 3 wild ones at the choice of the worker there helping me out. I have to say, I really just prefer classic chocolate icing, or caramel icing regular donuts. The crazy ones with all the toppings and fillings are just weird to me. Krispy Kreme remains as always the GOAT of all donut shops, but I do like trying new spots. Certainly worth stopping by if you're craving a donut.

I recommend looking at a menu or doing research ahead of time so you have an idea on what you would like to get. I opted for a few items to include some rolls. Everything looked delicious. Now those donuts.... don't skip on them. The can sell out so get there quick. They had many different offerings, toppings and filling. They had many items from cakes, pies, breads, donuts and more. Service was fantastic. They were all working hard, and got things moving fast. They were taking orders left and right. The cost was on point for what they offer.
