Philly Center City-ish Working Location

I'll be in Philly tomorrow. I'd love semi-quiet place to work (so good wifi is a must) where I can also take a couple laid back conference calls (back ground doesn't have to be super quiet). working from 9ish to noon. Can spend money on coffee/food. Thoughts? Looking for something transit-able from 30th street station.
As of a month ago, I would have lunch pretty regularly at that Green Line line location. It was always dead quiet (in a really good way!) Bonus: very good food and coffee

From 30th station, you can go pretty much anywhere that you'd want to go. My favorite cafe is the Satellite, which is pretty punk, has great kale smoothies and vegan foods as well as non-vegan foods, located at 50th and Baltimore; take the 34 trolley westward and just jump off right at the intersection. The internet is good too. Try to black bean wrap. But, if you want something a bit more chic, try the cafe Plenty, located at 5th and Passyunk, just past the Philly AIDS thrift store headed south. You can take the Market Frankford Blue Line (the el) towards Frankford and jump off at 5th st station, which takes you to 5th and Market Street. Then you walk south for about...3/4 of a mile or so, and you'll see it on the right. Very lovely, great coffee, cocktails, and awesome baristas. If you want more suggestions, PM me! Have fun!

Pretty much anywhere on Penn's campus - an 8 minute walk south west from 30th Street - is fine. If I remember, there's plenty of guest wireless. Bookstore, library, lots of little cafes in various buildings all work.
