I used to go here when Edna and Mike first opened up on the Walnut street bridge and just stopped by their current location for the first time in maybe 8 or 9 years on 20th street just now. I was so pleasantly surprised to see that not only are Mike and Edna still working here (as a small business owner, I have a soft spot for businesses where the owners still come in and work) but they have managed to improve every aspect of their business, which is impressive, especially since they have been open for so long now! They were both incredibly nice, as always, and their coffee is way better (Mike roasts their beans now and the quality is fantastic), their location is cozy, clean and super comfortable and the overall vibe of the place is fantastic.
I’m looking forward to coming by every time I’m in the neighborhood and am so happy to see nice people with a small business doing so well!

The minute you step through the door you can feel the passion they have for roasting and brewing coffee. Blueberry crumble was good.

Nook is one of my favorite cafes in center city. Their dirty chai is my all time favorite beverage - it’s soul satisfying! The desserts are fresh and delightful. I love their pecan nut bar.

My favorite coffee shop for pastries in Philly. I go there almost every week to grab muffins, croissants or scones for breakfast. You can't go wrong. Everything there is DELICIOUS and the owners/staff are the sweetest people. They are always very genuine, treat you like family and remember you. Skip Starbucks and go there instead.

So happy to see that this coffee shop is open during the COVID Pandemic! They have the menu on their window and all the baked goodies displayed so you can pick and choose. First time having their coffee and was absolutely delicious, as was the blueberry crumble bar. You can smell them roast the coffee from outside, and it smells like heaven itself. I got fresh roasted coffee and can not wait to use them. Hope to be a regular customer here. Really appreciate their business in these unprecedented times. Great to see the community alive. We will get through this, and caffeine definitely helps along the way ????????????. Make sure you call ahead to order and for pickup!

Really cute, quaint coffee shop offering both chocolates and coffee.
Atmosphere: The couches made the area felt very cozy and friendly, and they offer desks and electrical outlets too for anyone who needs to do work. When I came in the afternoon, the shop was relatively quiet, which is great for getting work done. With the additional comfy seating they offer, it's a really nice place to catch up with friends as well!
Food: Personally, I thought the latte I got was average and tasted a bit diluted, so I probably wouldn't go back for their drinks. The coffee did come out very quickly, though. Also, they did have a really cute assortment of all their chocolates, including hand-made truffles, which I would love to try next time! The assortment of pastries included several gluten-free options (predominantly fudge) that looked delicious, and very affordable ($1-2).
Overall: , mostly for the atmosphere and variety of pastry options they offered! I think there are better places in the city for coffee, but I'd come back to try their desserts.

Love this coffee shop so very much! Probably one of the best coffee shops you can go to in the city of Philadelphia! :) Great staff, great service, great coffee, great comfortable, quiet seating that makes it great to study/get work done in peace. Also, they have homemade pastries/muffins here that are amazing! They also have great breakfast/lunch options! I usually get breakfast so I have not tried their lunch items yet, however I have tried all of their breakfast items and I have to say their spinach quiche with mushrooms is one of my favorites! Their quiche breakfast items also include chips or a salad on the side too! Their homemade granola yogurt fruit parfait with honey is also one of my other breakfast favorites they have! They also have breakfast sandwich's, and etc as well. **Highly, Highly Recommend** if you are in the Philadelphia area to check this place out!!!! :D
