Yellow bicycle canteen has me daydreaming about their quiche sandwich. This was my first time in this cafe and I'll definitely not be my last! Everything was seasoned perfectly. The food came out hot. You get to choose your bread. I got mine on a everything bagel. Every single bite was filled with happiness and flavor, it was so yummy definitely worth visiting. read more

Good for sandwiches. And many good options for folks with allergies or other dietary needs!! Things are very flavorful too. I've never been disappointed by a sandwich I got here. Only downside is there's limited seating read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

The torta and banana muffins were absolutely delicious! A very lovely and affordable neighborhood cafe!

Delicious Blackened Kale Caesar wrap made with vegan dressing and chick peas. So fresh and favorable- perfect amount of dressing which was bright and briney not too much-kale was massaged well lol and wrap was a great texture-not too thick. Ordered pickup -was ready quickly/ place is adorable and staff friendly. Highly recommend. I look forward to exploring the menu. read more

One of the best veggie burrito I've ever had. Very friendly staff and a really cozy ambiance. Can't wait to go back.

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. read more

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. read more

Just like home cooking. Small inside but on a nice day sit outside and delightful. Had the sweet potato burrito that was so yummy and daughter had tuna melt. Down home feel and friendly service read more

If I lived in Philly I'd be here Every. Single. Day. I stopped by while in town to meet some friends later that day for a quick bite. I got the Roast Vegan on multigrain bread instead of the bagel and the Market Salad and both were fresh, hearty, and obviously made with some much care and passion. I am not vegan/vegetarian but I do try to go plant-based most of the time and this was such a nice surprise to come across while exploring the city. It definitely is the quintessential vegan cafe that I did not know was missing in my life. read more

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

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 read more

I don't give 5 stars often but this spot definitely deserves it! read more

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!

I thought the food here was mediocre and the service was poor. Not really sure why it's so highly rated given the abundance of great vegetarian restaurants in Philly. read more

The veggie hash was a heaping bowlful, and very delicious! Very close to Jefferson Hospital too when you don't want cafeteria food.

Genuinely one of the best food places I've ever been to. The breakfast club is amazing, and the service is great. Really great vibe in the place as well. If i wasn't just visiting the state, id eat here everyday! read more

Thought about the vegetarian lox here for a solid year and made sure to go next time I was in town. very cute, everything was delicious, the folks working here were so nice and helpful. Will definitely be back next year. read more

Cute family shop with the BEST cauliflower chorizo. They've also got bike maps of Philly and a handful of bikes in the shop. Are they decorative or is that how the employees got to work? Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in town. read more

Yellow Bicycle Canteen - Inside the front window - Vegetarian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

OMG people this sandwich was awesome! I got the torta without the American cheese and I think it was probably better that way? Like the cheese is totally unnecessary. The atmosphere is comfortable and informal and the fellow behind the counter seems like a really nice guy. We were a little indecisive and he didn't give us an eye roll, so I'm just going to say I like it when the staff are chill. LOL ... ... My wife had a custom sandwich which she also thought was terrific. I'm an electrician and I'll be starting a job around the corner in about 2 months. I am already getting pre-psyched for lunch everyday! read more

I'm not vegetarian, but I love vegetarian restaurants. Why? Because I'm convinced that for them to survive, the food has to be *really good* and Yellow Bicycle Canteen does not deviate from that rule! My partner recently brought home some food from here and it was so flavorful. I'm still thinking about the eggplant(?) sandwich and, even though I don't really like beets, the beets because they were so well-seasoned. We will definitely be back! read more

Everything about this place is top notch. The recommendations from the owner, the unique design, and by far the food. I'm not vegetarian myself but the food is absolute amazing. It is fresh, filling, and such a great value too. The owner has provided good recommendations every time and clearly cares about the quality of his work. I highly recommend any one to give this place a try if you haven't already! read more

Everything about this place is amazing! A block from my job and the price is relatively inexpensive! Banana Maple Muffin and Egg Bites are my go too! But the Bagels and the Veggie Cream Cheese are awesome! Thank you YBC! read more

Great first experience at this cafe today! It was just a quick stop. I got the chorizo burrito which was super filling. I can't wait to try more on the menu. The entire menu is vegetarian with the exception of one tuna dish. The inside is pretty no frills but there is some seating. I get the sense that a lot of people grab their food and go. The staff was very nice and patient with me as I was going back and forth on what to order. Next time, I want to try their sweet potato burrito and also some of their sweets. I will definitely be back and the location is so convenient! read more

Cute little spot that's totally worth the visit! Owner is super sweet and great at connecting with customers! Had a great chat with him whilst there and will definitely be back. read more

How has no one reviewed the Brunchwich? I'd say it's not just for brunch anymore. The two lightly fried eggs and cheddar between three slices of French toast is a yummy meal with a little bit of dessert thrown in. Yum. My husband quite liked his vegan chili and the borscht soup special. read more

Delicious, homemade vegan and vegetarian food made with love in a great location! I had the Rio burrito and a cold brew and will definitely be coming back again. Extra points for being big portions at affordable prices. Support small businesses and check this place out. read more

If you aren't going to the yellow bicycle what are you doing???? I discovered this gem sometime last october and its consistently wowed me every visit. As a former vegetarian and a serious veggie lover, this place easily ranks in my top 3 places to eat lunch. Each meal is hearty, flavorful, and SO AFFORDABLE! Plus the staff are wonderful, always polite and kind, you can tell that their endeavor is a labor of love. I've been working my way across the menu but so far my favorite items are definitely the sandwiches. I would highly recommend the garden quiche sandwich on foccacia, the fennel and tomato bagel and the carrot lox bagel, (I'm obsessed with their celery seed cream cheese). I literally never leave this place without smile on my face and my belly full. Thank you YB! read more

Don't know why this place doesn't have lines out the door. Amazing fresh sandwiches. The owner is super cool and the staff is friendly.

I popped in here for a takeaway breakfast burrito a while ago and it was super delicious!! huge portions, friendly service, and great vibes in the restaurant itself. It's small but very cozy. Highly recommend if you're needing a hearty meal from nice people! read more

I've been here three times when in town, and every time has been exceptional. Vegan Roast twice (once on sourdough, once on wheat) and both exceptional, as well as the hummus sandwich on a bagel. Warm atmosphere and staff, tasteful and fresh food, and actually really great drip coffee as well. Looking forward to coming back in whenever I'm next in Philly. read more

Really good! I was pleasantly surprised at this small little place! Had a great chickpea sandwich and a bread pudding! Both were fresh and tasty! I'm definitely excited to go back and try more! read more
