Far and away my favorite spot on campus. The food is delicious and of great quality (the waffles are so fluffy and thick, and the avocado toast was seasoned well!), the service is fast and friendly, the ambience is cheerful, and the space is so new and sparkling. It also has lots of table room and plugs for studying and working. And it’s steps away from the train station!

I ordered a double espresso and one of the breakfast wraps that they keep on the hotbox near the register. The espresso was fine. Nothing special. About what I was expecting. Most coffee shops serve average espresso that just tastes like regular American coffee with a little bit more body, some crema on top, and more robust bitter-coffee flavor. That's what you'll get here. Don't look for notes of cocoa, wine, or berries. It's fine espresso, but nothing to get excited about. The wrap had egg, turkey bacon, cheese, tater tots and chipotle sauce. It was pretty good, but also not amazing. I appreciate that they get the turkey bacon super crispy without it being dry. I like the tater tots as a stand in for a hash brown patty; they taste the same and the small pieces make for a better experience of biting into the wrap. The eggs were fine; in a sandwich like this, they add protein and not much flavor. I couldn't taste the cheese at all because the chipotle sauce overpowered everything. I suspect they use a premade chipotle sauce because it has the viscosity of bottled salad dressing and it's a little too sweet (barely any of that smokey heat that characterizes real chipotle ). Still the sandwich tasted fresh and filled me up with all the good breakfast vibes. I'd order it again, it's way better than the average fast food breakfast sandwich. Bottom line: Richie's Cafe is a nice place to sit and work on your laptop, if you can find a free seat. It's often very busy. The food and drink is dependable and consistent, even if it's not the best around. I'll be back. I want to try one of the grilled cheese sandwiches because that's what I hear people talking about all the time.

A business that has been around since 1969 and the dedication to their craft speaks volumes from their food, the drinks, the staff, the atmosphere and so much more! Was there with my fellow group members of Ita.Lifestyles during their Hatsune Miku collaboration event and it always makes me happy when anything anime related occurs in Philly. So stoked to visit again and munch on amazing food again!

Easily one of my favorite places on Campus! Perfect location, always bright and cheery and the ambiance is just great. The staff is super friendly, coffee is excellent and the Buffalo grilled cheese is to die for!

Myself and a few family members were in from out of town and needed some coffee and food. We weren't disappointed! The coffee, both hot and iced, was rich and smooth, perfectly mixed/made regardless of the flavors we got. We also got a few Turkey/Chipotle Turkey paninis, and the 3-Cheese grilled cheese. They were perfectly cooked and all the ingredients were delicious and fresh - so good!! And the bagels and cream cheese also didn't disappoint! If we're ever back in this part of the city, we'll definitely come back!

Richie’s cafe is a SOLID spot on campus! There are a ton of creative coffee options that are constantly in rotation. I recently was able to try the honeycomb latte that was sweet and light. Their waffles are also a nice sweet treat :)

Richie's Cafe was awesome! Definitely a college atmosphere! Get there early because around lunch time, the line is out the door! That's because the food is great and the service is just as good!!

Lovely cafe! The staff is a medium friendliness and the prices are fairly high - but hear me out, the waffles are delicious! Very tasteful and savory. The coffees are a pretty big size, so keep in mind a small is rather large! Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area. The decor and overall vibe is really nice as well.
