Green Eggs Cafe in Philly is Worth is Six Hour Drive from New York

So, I did something a little odd. I travelled six hours for brunch. I take my food that seriously. Thank you Genius in HD for accompanying me on my six-hour trip. We went to Philadelphia just for brunch at Green Eggs Cafe.

Was it worth it? Keep reading to find out!

As I jumped into my dress for a birthday shindig that evening, exhausted from traveling and possibly still mimosa-drunk, all I kept telling myself was that this was going to be worth it. I wasn’t out of my mind.

I’d been to Green Eggs Cafe before, the pancakes left a lasting impression on me. They were possibly some of thee best red velvet pancakes I have had to date. I’m still waiting for someone to prove otherwise. This is what pancakes for two looks like. Seriously, you cannot finish this alone. Three huge pancakes hugging one another with delicious mascarpone in between each layer and oozing out of the sides. I died and went to heaven!

But the great thing about Green Eggs, aside from it being BYOB, is that every dish is amazing. My fork was on everybody’s plate at my table.

About 7 bottles of Andre later, I was full and the waitress, Logan, who’s a doll, just knew I wasn’t going to make it. So she shared with me what I thought at the time was the craziest idea ever: take the pancakes home and make it into a milkshake. Is this lady for real? I thought. Indeed, she was. So, I took her advice because there was no way I was leaving this pancakes on the table. They were that good.

Not going to lie, I was nervous. Pancakes? Into a milkshake? That’s suppose to taste good? Answer: YES! I whipped up my milkshake and haven’t looked back since. When I tell you it was amazing, I really mean it. Logan, I owe you one. I put half of the pancakes in my blender, with one scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, a cup of milk and a tablespoon of syrup. It’s safe to say I can’t wait to head back to Philly and do this all again.
