    This is a very cute coffee shop. The menu has something for everyone, whether that’s food or drink. I found the latte to be somewhat milky though. Next time I’ll get an additional shot added. The service is excellent, unless they’re busy, then expect to wait. There is a good amount of seating, but it fills up quickly. The prices are higher than some other places in the area. You have to try their version of a Pop-Tart. Parking can be a pain.

    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.

    I enjoyed the vibe of this cafe very much. I ordered a latte, avocado toast, and some Danish pastries. The coffee quality was excellent, and the pastries were so good that I bought some more to take home. The service was also courteous, and I felt like I should have brought a book to read here for a while so that I could hang out here a little longer.

    I move into this place the week of Thanksgiving every year and love it. Parking and seating can be tough, but I love all of their pastries and highly recommend the breakfast burrito (which they turn into a breakfast pocket).

    I absolutely love this cafe and the work atmosphere. I got the kickstarter breakfast sandwich and a cafe miel iced americano with oat milk and both were amazing. Kickstarter is one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had!! As much as I love this place, I had to knock it down to 4 stars because of the inconvenient parking and you’re likely going to have to wait for seats. But these downsides are because of how good this place is! I highly recommend visiting when you’re in town:)

    Found this little gem while visiting Philadelphia. Chai latte, pistachio pastry and sandwich was absolutely delicious and I really appreciated these recommendations from the coffee shop manager. Friendly staff and great ambiance. Do not hesitate to visit and enjoy. Thanks Green Engine Coffee Co! Please like this review if it helped! Thanks

    Easily one of the best coffee shops I’ve ever been to. The latte was phenomenal (decaf half-sweet vanilla latte with oat milk), and the food was outstanding—cashew butter toast with jam and figs, plus a breakfast wrap I can’t quite remember the name of, haha. 10/10 recommend. (*I partially ate the food before taking the video/photo, so that’s why it looks a little off, and I downed the latte before as well, ha!) The atmosphere was great—loved the bar seating by the window, and the chairs were actually a good size, not too small. The music was nice, and the service was awesome. The two guys at the counter and the barista who made my drink were all super kind. This is definitely my new go-to work spot. Oh, and definitely try the pastries!

    Great food and coffee, cozy atmosphere, and great place to open your laptop and work during the day. I'm a traveling sales person, and I look for cafes like this everywhere I go. I want more of this place.
