gorgeous coffee shop that is busy yet spacious at the same time! i really love the big windows that allow for ample natural lighting. my boyfriend and i swung by while we were in the neighborhood to do some work, and this is a great spot if you can tolerate background noise/chatter/music. not the best place for meetings, but really good for someone like me who can't work in silence. it was really busy on a monday morning and a little challenging to get a seat, but the turnover is pretty high. they also have food options, which looked delicious, but we did not partake. we each got a drink, and i really enjoyed the season special which was a honey lavender latte. i can definitely see why this café is such a hot spot for locals, though it is out of the way for us. read more

I came by this spot a little while ago, and forgot to write my review for it! But, I remember this as a nice little coffee shop near Haverford College. Nice amount of space to sit down and do some work. I got to try out a pistachio pastry and a hot chocolate (I visited them during the winter time). The prices are super fair and the staff is fairly friendly as well. The pastry was very, very good. The dough was fantastic, perfectly sweet, nice amount of pistachios. Very solid portion. The hot chocolate was very good too. Perfect level of sweetness, not overpowering, and not too frothy or anything like that. Everything was super solid. read more

Cute place with a lot of Christmas decor when we went during the holidays. The coffee was decent, except for a holiday espresso spritz we got. Plenty of seating and friendly staff. read more

We got the iced blueberry thyme (seasonal syrup) latte which was okay. The syrup wasn't really mixed into the drink well, they kinda just pumped it and let it fall to the bottom. After mixing it tasted better but my friend felt like she could make a better latte at home. The chai latte with oat milk was okay, nice mix of spicy and sweet but seemed a bit watery? We were excited to see they have gluten free options on the menu! The staff are very pleasant. They have solid wifi and plenty of seating and outlets, so it is great for working. I was there during lunch time so it was definitely a bit louder, which I didn't mind. Also it is in a very cute neighborhood. Beware, parking is limited. read more

The whole cafe is so cute loved the decor! Stopped in on a Sunday and almost every table was full. The vibe is very much to come and stay a while with friends or family which was so nice on a cold rainy day. Staff were welcoming and helpful! For about $20, I ordered an a kickstarter egg sandwich and a gingerbread latte. The latte was the standout super flavorful, like drinking a ginger snap cookie. The sandwich portion was generous with plenty of egg, though I found myself wishing it had a bit more sauce. It looked amazing, but the flavor was a little more mild than I expected. Def will be back! read more

I believe we had at trip or two here while still living in PA, but I guess I never reviewed it. We were in the area for a quick, overnight work trip. I had Green Engine marked down for a coffee. Since I happened to be in the area later in the day, I went with a "lighter" coffee drink, their espresso mule. It was unique, but something nice for an afternoon treat. You have a little bitterness from the espresso, but then some sweetness from the ginger beer at the end. I also grabbed an onion and cheese scone as a snack for my wife. Good texture and flavor. The staff was super friendly and it's a great place to hang out and relax. read more

A good variety of things to choose from, from coffee to not coffee, pastries and prepared foods. We ordered a cappuccino and a latte, both with almond milk, a pastry and a bagel. Both the lattes and cappuccinos were too foamy. The cappuccino is supposed to be that way but a latte is meant to be creamy. The seasonal danish was good, a bit small. If had strawberries with a pistachio sauce underneath. The bagel was soft, with so many different flavors, from the mixed cream cheese to the capers, the pickled onions and the smoked salmon. A lot of seating, but doesn't seem that they have many open spots available because even on a Saturday, there are a lot of students working with their laptops. read more

This is a good spot that is bustling with people, art, and of course coffee! There are a lot of spaces to sit and sip but just know it gets LOUD. Also, the espresso beans themselves are very tasty but the espresso-based beverages are incredibly milky here. They are good if you prefer your coffee more milky but as someone who likes a stronger brew, the cost for a takeout latte isn't really justifiable. read more

Good spot for breakfast and to get some work done! Space fills up fast, so if you want a good seat head in early! Can get a little loud too, coffee can get pricey but overall good spot! read more

This reviews for their atmosphere and hot drinks as I didn't get to taste their food yet. It is everything you want in a café. Large seating area for multiple sizes groups, amazing drinks, and a good selection of food. Staff are friendly, service is prompt, and it's in a great location just off of Lancaster Avenue. As we're getting towards summer, they have large windows to let in all the warm sunshine. read more

Really good food, outstanding coffee and great service. Good vibes there. Even though it gets crowded on the weekends, it's enjoyable.

Coffee: their coffee is fresh and smooth. Enjoyable and quick service Food: pricey. I don't feel like the $13 wrap was worth $13. It was good, but without a meat option or veggies, it felt like a rip off Atmosphere: cute coffee shop. A place I would love to sit in and do work if I was in the area read more

Super cute interior with two gender-neutral bathrooms, tons of outlets, many seating arrangements, fast wifi, fast and friendly service, and tons of natural lighting. The space is ideal for meetings or working on a laptop. Foodwise, they have a great selection of breakfast items, bagels, burritos, pastries, and excellent coffee (Rival Bros) and tea. Prices seem right. There are absolutely no complaints here! Probably my new favorite work spot in the area. read more

I'm always up for finding good breakfast spots, and being able to get some work done while enjoying good food is always a bonus in the morning. When a friend suggested Green Engine Coffee, I was intrigued and there were vegan options. Started off in the bonus column before my arrival! This is a a cozy coffee house with many different options for seating and an abundance of charger outlets - yayyy!!! Communal tables, sofa seating, high tops, and window seating all created a warm environment. Being a connoisseur of teas, I decided to try the Ginger Turmeric Tea. After making sure the option I wanted was vegan, I ordered the Avocado Toast. The tea was aromatic and had a delicious blend of flavor. The presentation of the Avocado Toast was a delightful surprise. The taste - even better!!! The Avocado spread on the multigrain bread, which was so hearty, was creamy, rich and fresh. The balsamic reduction and red onions were the absolute perfect compliment! Fresh avocado was on top of the spread with fresh herbs as a wonderful garnish. Yes, it was good too! A filling and fresh way to start my day! Oh, and I did get a lot of work done too! read more

Service was good, friendly and lots of seating inside. I didn't see any seating outside. Lattes tasted pretty good! The breakfast burrito was good but not worth $13.00 to me since it's just mainly egg and potato. The poptart pastry was very very dry, probably over baked but the flavor was good. Parking was a little annoying, I think it's only street parking for this coffee shop. read more

Me and my partner both just finished trying this place and holy cow. This place is so close to my home that it's walkable and it's always packed so we were excited to try it. I got a hot chocolate and she got a matcha latte. The drinks were some of the worst drinks I've ever had. I'm not exaggerating. Once my partner got her drink i asked her while we were still inside if she liked her latte. She intimated to me that it want good but didn't say anything further. Once we got outside i tried it. I actually audibly gagged. It was that bad. We both like matcha as well. My hot chocolate was like water. Actually the worst hot chocolate I've ever had.It's a cute place, but it's a coffee shop and the drinks were disgusting. Her avocado toast tasted like vinegar because they didn't drain whatever the pickled garnish was. The plant wall was cute though. read more

This cafe is awesome! It might not seems like it on the outside but when once you stepped inside it's a whole different world! The decoration of the shop includes a piece of a plant(moss?) wall, the pastries and coffee are excellent as well, absolutely love the spinach pastry! People in there were mega friendly, 100% recommend! read more

Went to this coffee place with a girlfriend of mine. I got the Matcha Latte and Salmon Gravlax. The set up inside was very beautiful and very plant centric. They had a whole plant wall as well. I loved the dish wear that the food came on. My salmon gravlax came on a nice ceramic plate. The onion on the sandwich was thinly sliced and very fresh. The matcha latte wasn't as "matcha" tasting as I prefer my lattes to be. read more

When you date someone who works at Haverford College and also go to the Planet Fitness in Ardmore, you find yourself tagging along for the morning commute and having some time to kill before a morning exercise. Fortunately Green Engine Coffee makes that situation an easy one to deal with while also being an easy contender for best non-Starbucks coffeehouse on the Main Line! One of the main things I missed when moving away from the Philly proper for suburban pastures was enjoying the cities vibrant coffee scene on a regular basis. And I especially missed being able to frequent Rival Bros on East Passyunk Ave as frequently as I used to. But thanks to Green Engine I don't have top worry about saying goodbye to their incredible beans since they serve Rival Bros' finest in drip or pour fashion, and even include them in some pretty impressive seasonal lattes. When you make a morning stop breakfast is a must, and any of Green Engine's flaky and wonderful pastries, like their chocolate crossaint deliver a perfect pick me up. But they also have one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had with their Kickstarter which sandwiches ham, egg, cheddar, and chipotle tomato jam in between a house made EVERYTHING English muffin that makes bagels obsolete! Add in art from local artists on the wall, a seasonal menu featuring locally sourced goods, and gelato, and you have a perfect coffeehouse! read more

The best London fog I think I've ever had. And my croissant was delicious! Atmosphere is nice, very clean and fresh. Staff are friendly. Place is seemingly packed and I almost wasn't able to find a place to study at but thankfully I snagged a table. Great place for studying or working. They have WiFi and charging outlets. I will give a warning that the outlets are on the floor and not on the side of a wall so there is a bit of a tripping hazard there but just keep an eye out and you'll be good. I can see why it's on the 'best of the main line' lists read more

Fabulous piece of quiche and delicious tea. Super crowded on a Saturday morning, which was to be expected, but cute place.

I this is a great spot in Haverford on a quiet street. Come here for a quick coffee or bite to eat. Come alone or with friends. Great spot to relax and hang out. The matcha spritzer was a bit strong in taste for me. I liked the lox bagel as lox, though! It's a fast, casual spot! read more

Excellent, welcoming coffee shop with a great vibe and terrific remote work setup. I've spent many, many cumulative hours working from here while visiting my family in Bryn Mawr, and cannot recommend it highly enough. The coffee is superb, noise levels are reasonable all day, I've never had any trouble with the wifi, the pastry selections and menu are delicious and thoughtfully cultivated with plenty of vegetarian options. I particularly recommend the Kickstarter sandwich with avocado and the roasted beet salad, and I look forward to the brioche every time I'm in town. I've never had trouble finding a comfortable workplace, and there are always plenty of power outlets. Literally the only piece of feedback I have for this crew is that I wish they'd use less glitter in their holiday decorations - my computer bag will be bedazzled until the end of time. Highly recommend. read more

Cool cafe with good free wifi. Plenty of seating place. We could see lot of people working on their laptops and lot hanging out with their friends. We ordered drip coffee, matcha latte and their Conductor panini. My drip coffee was ok, but matcha latte had a very strong taste. Didnt like it. Panini was ok too. Nothing special to rave about. Coffee refills are 50 cents. The servers were nice and courteous. It looked like a very busy evening on Saturday. I would go there again to hangout or do my work. But would stick to regular coffee. read more

Pre covid review that was lost in space .... This super hip spot out on the main line was a great spot to take a little time and enjoy my coffee. I had already eaten but it I would have lovely to eat here looking at the avocado toast or one of the amazing looking pastries. The decor made me really happy- although the chairs are not all that comfortable. The spot to grab is the couch or leather chairs. They turnover seams pretty quick although it seems like the couch along the wall is the remote work hangout. Overall really great find. read more

Lovely little coffee shop, fireplace (although I've never seen it on), children's book nook in the corner, breakfast items, pastries, a sculpture wall and a live wall. Oh, I didn't even mention the coffee. The guy with the dreads makes some of the best espresso I've had and I've lived in Italy 2 separate times. Their drip coffee is rich and flavorful. They have all the classics and for the more adventurous among us, they have some drinks like "espresso + tonic" or cranberry spritz which has cranberry, rosemary, espresso and ice along with seltzer. Interesting to say the least but I'll still to my double shot or drip. I've never been into cold brew but they do have it along with the slow drip method in glass. Their kitchen closes around midday I believe. Sip dark and sip local friends! Viva Green Engine! read more

Got coffee and avocado toast last week. Place was busy, but not obnoxious. Servers were nice, we decided to dine in for the full experience. We didn't know we had to get our coffee, since our food was being "served ". So by the time we figured it or, cappuccino was not as hot as I prefer it to be. The seating and table was crumbly dirty. Place needed to be cleaned up during the shifts. Otherwise the avocado toast was delicious . read more

Green Engine opened up just one month after I started my first job out of college. Back then, Green Engine, with its friendly staff, Rival Bros. coffee, and pretty good pastries, felt young and bohemian, an oasis for college students and employees. Five years later, Green Engine has grown and blossomed. Now a clear neighborhood favorite drawing young families and old folk as well as their original collegiate clientele, Green Engine's whole operation feels slicker and more polished. The pastry selection has grown significantly and their new supplier is a wizard: everything, from the shiny brioche au chocolate to the visually stunning and pleasantly sweet cinnamon brioche, to my personal favorite, the pistachio financier, is excellent. The coffee remains delicious, and the seasonal drink selection features cute, punny names and often tastes quite good. The staff, though generally fairly friendly, isn't quite as quick to remember a regular's face as they used to be, but that comes with the much-deserved constant flow of people from morning to close. All in all one of my favorite coffee shops ever, and I always look forward to my next visit. read more
