A breakfast go to - Edit
Delicious and so many good options! I love the grizzli breakfast sandwich that was on a biscuit. I’ve heard that all of the sandwiches are good from friends in the neighborhood. Also had an iced matcha which was good as well. Several milk options are available.
Read morePros: Very tasty , Lots of breakfast and sweets options , Fun cool vibe

The Mickey G was delicious! No donuts in the case this morning, but they did have cinnamon bun and coffee cake available, as well as cake and cannoli. Would go back frequently if we were local!

Trips here make my day - Edit
One of the best dirty chai lattes I have ever had, amazing staff, and the coolest place. Love having an all vegan coffee shop/cafe and am glad I don't live closer or I would be there every day. The breakfast sandwiches are out of this world and making one with the biscuits from Miss Rachel's is GENIUS!

Good coffee and nice staff - Edit
When I arrived at grindcore house they just had the menu to go at this day. The coffee I ordered was good and it was easy to order online. The music I could hear from outside was great! I hope I can go there again when they have opend again the Café itself.

Okay? - Edit
This place seemed like a good idea at the time. If you’re not from the area, or a regular, you wouldn’t automatically know the policy’s in place. When you first get there you can’t even tell if it’s open or not, let alone know to order online because the signs aren’t noticeable. The customer service was off and the working came off rude. I’m paying $7 for a chai latte, the employees could at least be nicer. Based on that, I would take my money somewhere else. The drink wasn’t worth the $7.

Not worth it - Edit
I typically don’t leave reviews like this but I don’t want others to have the same experience that I had. I got the Classic Breakfast Sandwich and it tasted like it’s been frozen from the day before. Very dry and just blah. I also got a dirty chai latte and it was disgusting. On top of all that the service was transactional and the person taking orders was short with customers and just not friendly. Not the best way to start your morning.
Read morePros: They’re exclusively Vegan
Cons: Rude service, Pricey, Unfriendly

Coffee place - Edit
This place is always my first stop when I visit Philly, sick coffee pastries and sandwiches, both locations are great. Hope they bring back seating eventually but I get it these are scary times.

Vegan baked goods and great coffee. - Edit
Whenever I get to Philly early and have time for a cup of coffee, this is my first stop. Great baked goods and good coffee. If you don’t like death metal, being tour noise cancelling headphones to read or do work while sitting in this unique spot.

Such a solid breakfast spot - Edit
Really good sandwich, the highlight was the ghost pepper scream cheese for me! Hands down the best cream cheese I’ve had since going vegan. They also carry baked goods from Vegan Treats which is stellar. I haven’t had a cheese danish in a decade. The espresso was also really impressive.
Read morePros: Food is great , Unique menu items , Wonderful coffee
Cons: Way too much Mayo on everything

South Philly gold - Edit
Best place to grab a quick bite with some coffee in South Philly. Sandwiches are amazing. Coffee and tea are both always on point. They also have a bunch of sweets from local vegan bakeries. My non vegan friends love their options. Never disappointed.

My home - Edit
I love this place! The clubhouse on rye is seriously like the best sandwich I've ever had. They have a great variety of treats and drinks. They are kind of expensive, especially when it comes to the sweets. But their cinnamon rolls/sticky buns are huge, so I'd recommend those at least if you're on a budget 😅
Read moreI lived two different places just a few blocks from here, so I used to order Grindcore all the time. I miss when the store was open. I loved sitting in the back with all the weird art, books, and music. But they are crazy efficient with their online oders, and I'm happy the staff are safe.
Pros: Great food, Far left
Cons: Are often out of the treat you want, Kind of expensive

Great place to grab breakfast bites with friends - Edit
We came here with friends on a Saturday morning. The friends were passing through town and we wanted some vegan food that consisted of hot drinks and tasty breakfast.
Read moreThis place was wonderful. We ordered online and our food and drinks are ready to go when we got there. And because of Covid we are able to get outside in the nearby neighborhood park. I got the BLAT sandwich. It was both tasty and refreshing and I also got the turmeric golden latte was so milk and it was warm and delicious as well. I had ginger in it but it’s definitely stood out to me as someone else is trying to like ginger but thinks it is spicy.
I can’t wait to come back here next time. It’s definitely a new vegan Philly favorite for me. I highly recommend.
Pros: Lots of vegan option, Delicious food, Wonderful hot beverage selection

Ahhhh-mazing - Edit
Stopped in at Grindcore House for breakfast today after several years away (moved from the area). I was blown away by the amount of options they have and how tasty everything is! The sandwiches on Miss Rachel's biscuits?? Maple butter?? Everything buns?? Whipped cream on custom drinks?? What!! We will be making the trek back very soon.

My Favorite Vegan Spot - Edit
Love everything about this place. The food is great; I always enjoy looking at the art in the back room, and of course, the always great tunes playing. The wifi password itself is worth a 5-star review!

Want to move to Philly for this place - Edit
First visit this past Sunday when we were visiting Philly; love the food and coffee. They were playing Minor Threat, the Dead Kennedys, Crass, and Black Flag while we were there; this was a big plus. I've had to go back to my miserable life in rural central PA, but will try to make frequent trips back.
