    Roast Vegan
    Sharvani M.

    Such a cozy, homey spot - very small, with a fridge for cold drinks to grab yourself. You order at the counter and the sweetest older auntie brings out your food. INSANE vegetarian and vegan options, obviously - it took us maybe 20 minutes to even decide what we wanted because everything looked so good. Really good coffee too! I got the Roast Vegan (kale, sweet potatoes, mushrooms and a few delicious spreads / sauces) on focaccia, and my husband got the Samosa Burrito; we shared the Vietnamese iced coffee. My sandwich was delicious! Hearty, filling, savory, and the focaccia has just the right crisp-to-chewy ratio. My husband also enjoyed his burrito, and the iced coffee was perfect (though we did add some sugar). Highly recommend Yellow Bicycle! A very special spot in Philly with lots of heart.

    Green Egg with iced coffee

    I originally planned on going to middle child but on a Saturday the lines are always unbearably long. I noticed this vegetarian/vegan sandwhich place nearby and decided to give it a try. And I'm so glad I did! They have a good selection of sandwich, bagels, and breakfast goods. The staff recommended the Green Eggs and it was delicious!! The portion size is also huge so you can easily eat one half for breakfast and another half for lunch. It is a small shop so they have limited seating inside. They also have some chairs outside as well for seating. It didn't take long to get my food. Highly recommend checking this place out if you like vegetarian/vegan/healthy options!

    Vietnamese Iced Coffee
    Allyson M.

    What I quaint little swanky place in Philly my friend found. Neither of us had been here and she's not from this state. The service is very nice, the coffee was delish and my friend's vegan bagel sandwich was also delish. Parking is hard to find, however, doable after some time. The vibe is cool, not a whole lot of dining space, but some of you want to sit, which we did. A nice experience.

    The muffins must be so good, as they were sold out by 9am both days we tried! we'll keep trying! The Garden Quiche bagel &"Chorizo"​ egg bagel were both so tasty, fresh, flavorful and filling! The Goat, balsamic grape jelly was amazing! Its our new favorite spot...minutes from my SIL's condo. Highly recommend this special lil Cafe. The owner/ chef, Ian, super chill and welcoming as is the staff. ​

    Coconut curry salad
    Bhamidipati M.

    Really tasty vegetarian food option in Philly downtown near the Washington park. The service was prompt and they used freshly cooked vegetables in all the dishes. The hummus was in-house made and the salad and burrito were very filling. I highly recommend this place for a quick lunch/brunch stop.

    Chorizo egg and cheese
    Soprina G.

    Yellow Bicycle Canteen is a very delicious cafe that is a great spot for lunch! It's vegan/vegetarian, however it's better than most delis in the Philadelphia area. This is because the quality of the ingredients is so good! The chorizo egg and cheese is a great alternative for a sausage egg and cheese. It uses vegan chorizo, but I also think it had lentils as well. The jones sandwich is an all-star winner! It's a tomato mozzarella sandwich with herbed cream cheese, onions, roasted red pepper, and fresh pesto! The prices are around the same or even cheaper than deli sandwiches. But the quality goes above and beyond! The breads they use are always so delicious. I wonder if they make it fresh? The service is really nice. The employees will directly hand you your to-go foods. The cafe is also cute for a quick solo lunch or to bring one other person.

    Yellow Bicycle Canteen is quite frankly the best breakfast/lunch joint in center city. No competition. Must get: sweet potato wrap, torta Meh: nothing yet Missed out: everything else (especially the curry soup) There are few restaurants that remind me why I love yelp, and Yellow Bicycle Canteen revigorated my love for food and yelping. This establishment checks all of the boxes, piping hot burritos/sandwiches the moment you order, reasonable prices, amazing hospitality and great vibes. I only had the sweet potato wrap and torta, my wife had the kale salad and I can only share my fondest memories of the swirling flavors and spices that rapidly disappeared as I hungrily devoured the best lunch I've had in years. I will be coming back for seconds, and that's saying something. Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Price: 5 stars Ambiance: 5 stars

    I got the Garden Quiche bagel this morning and it was sooo yummy!! Husband got the Potato Egg burrito and he said it was very good. I highly recommend this cute little spot. I really really liked my quiche bagel. It was incredible!! Very nice man there who took our order shortly after he opened up. Got our food pretty quickly. I don't give 5 stars often but this spot definitely deserves it!

    Delicious high quality food at a great price along with friendly service and a relaxed vibe.

    Cute spot for takeout lunch! I have gotten their Vietnamese coffee, it was strong as it should be and perfectly not too sweet. I also had their egg salad sandwich on sourdough. Their potato salad was also a nice snack for lunch.

    Oh my! The sandwiches here! It was a very random walk-in on my part without much research. I would say get past their very simplistic ambiance & interior and come for food! Very tasty, loaded sandwiches and bagel sandwiches with vegan options. I loved it! My mom had cheese melt and I had vegan roast.

Not tough but a nice, soft seeded sub roll. Seeing it arrive was a little overwhelming but I kinda thought the thing was light and was easy to finish off 1/2. The Fig and Pig - the fig jam was outstanding. Great sweetness with the saltiness from the prosciutto and then to top it off, the crunch of the cutlets. Excellent. As I was leaving, I saw a cutlet, with mutz, broccoli rabe, and roasted red peppers. I WILL be back for that. That looked amazing. Service was very friendly, prompt. We sat down and within a few minutes, our sandwiches came out. Looks like they were working on takeout / delivery orders and I thought, oh crap, am i behind all of that. But I guess they were either done or they prioritize the tables. Place was small but at 2:30 or so, it had a couple of tables open. They had tables outside but a little warm and in the sun for that. Well done, Liberty Kitchen!

But, I must tell you... Hershel's Corned Beef Reuben was way better than any sandwich I ever had there. The cut of meat is thicker and the portion sizes are huge. My husband thinks he heard the guy say it was three-quarters of a pound of corned beef. I believe it because it definitely felt like there was at least 6 ounces on my half of the sandwich. I'm glad we decided to split it. It was totally worth the price that we paid for it. We arrived around 4:00 pm on a Thursday. It was busy at the market, but not as busy as it was on Saturday. We were tossed between the Reuben and the Rachel. The difference is that the Rachel has cole slaw instead of sauerkraut. I don't think you can go wrong either way. It didn't take long for the order to be ready. The service was great. They split the sandwiches and wrapped them individually. We each got a pickle spear. We didn't have to go too far to find seats. They have bar seating along the back counter that's specifically for their customers. The Reuben was very tasty. I even liked the pickle. I think they have desserts, but we had no room for it. I'd love to return one day to try their pastrami, and maybe even the breakfast. I wish we would have had more time to try one of these sandwiches on Challah bread. The menu has a little something for anyone craving a Jewish style deli experience. It's worth a visit when at Reading Terminal Market.

They serve you fresh waster (Drinks to order include Hanks, Boylan's, Harney and Sons, Teas etc.) and will serve you at the table or you can walk up and order at the counter. Their menu has a great mix of deli, steak, "chicken" steak, meatball, sausage and cutlet sandwiches with interesting flavor combos. You can also get breakfast (till 11AM) or a salad. They also have sides that include - tots, fried pickle chips, onion rings, fries, fried mozzarella and Zayda's pickle spears, chips and cherry pepper shooters. They have a couple of vegan options and GF rolls for extra $$. The staff was more than happy to give recommendations and their favs. My first lunch was The Eye - $15 Ribeye steak, Cooper Sharp American, fried onions came on a seeded Liscio's roll. If you enjoy the somewhat newer Cooper sharp style that's out there you'll like theirs. The Cooper sharp was gooey, mixed in well with the meat and on the heavier side. The ribeye was thin cut, delicious and the portion was pretty hefty. Second visit I went with - The Nad - $15 Chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, Mike's Hot Honey that came on an unseeded Liscio's roll. The portion size was good, chicken was fresh with good breading, the hot honey was a tad on the heavy side, but the flavors all came together pretty good on this one. Sweet, salty, light bitterness from the arugula and some heat from the hot honey. I added Thin Cut Idaho fries to make it a combo for $3 extra and I have to say they were delicious. They smelled like McD's and tasted similar. They are cash only, but have an ATM on site. You can use a card if you order online. The one bathroom they have was pretty clean and organized. I will certainly stop back for a visit if I'm in the area to try out more of their menu. Thanks guys!
