It’s always great news to hear that a local business is doing well, especially when it’s expanding into other locations. One of the anchor businesses in the area, the Green Line Cafe, has posted an announcement that on October 1 it’s opening a shop in Center City, at 15th and Moravian – a couple blocks away from City Hall. Green Line will take over the Cafe Loftus currently operating in that location. This will be Green Line’s fourth shop, with other locations at 45th and Locust, 43rd and Baltimore and 37th and Lancaster. They also operate a kiosk inside the Veterinary Hospital at the University of Pennsylvania.
This news comes as Green Line, a family-owned business, begins celebrating their 10th anniversary. The first Green Line Cafe opened in January 2003 at 43rd and Baltimore.

Green Line Cafe…serving up crappy coffee on wobbly tables since 2003! Why mess with what works? 🙂
Thanks for the kind wishes, all!
Torin Myer, the “Green Line Robber,” is currently in state prison outside Philadelphia awaiting sentencing, which we understand is to happen in about 6 weeks.

You had taken over the other Cafe Loftus as well, when it was on Powelton.
